That matches up with my own experience on the matter as well.

Stopped in last night. Still no change.

We disagree... not sure where you are getting your information from.. but what you describe does not jive with my experiences and the experiences of others. The calculation seems to be at least partially based on the rate of depletion. As you pointed out, however, it is based on the car's...

Yes Mike.. but.. as I pointed out.. How that range is calculated.. i.e. the only way the car actually has to make that calculation.. is to take the amount of charge at mile segments and then make a calculation over a given distance to show a number. This number is a calculation based largely on...

At 37,000 miles my full charge "rated" is 277. When I first picked it up it was 288. This is on a 90D. Newbie mistake, I didn't look at the ideal range. The ideal range is the range based on battery charge. Rated range is after an algorithm that takes into account how you drive. Any on here...

Reality is a funny thing.. It's not up to perception. The fleet is collecting data now about how much safer it is than a vehicle piloted by a human. Yes, those are miles logged largely under the conditions of the system's limitations.. And the drivers are largely taking those limitations into...

I was there last night and still the same. Looks like everything is ready.. Just waiting on power up.

That sounds kind of crazy to me. More likely what happened is that they didn't set their own home up to charge it.. didn't have a way to charge it at work and didn't wrap their mind around how the process of "fueling" your vehicle shifts from filling it when you are using it to filling it when...

Looking forward to it Maximus.

I will be attending the social up in Rocklin on the 22nd. Hopefully they take feedback as well as instruct. It's always fun to hang out with others if for no other reason than to see what they have done with their cars.

Got my 90D in early august. Brand new the max charge was 288 miles. Now, with 25,000 miles on it, full is 272-277 depending on temperature outside and also if I charge at home vs supercharger. Some interesting items of note. When I charge at the supercharger it seems to show a higher number...

I wouldn't categorize the understeer on the 90D as "massive". I just took a very spirited drive yesterday up the back side of Mt. Hamilton to Lick observatory.. one of my favorite driving roads. The car loves to be pushed hard.. it's especially good at it going up hill.. but it is a family car...

Ah.. you mean kind of like a pilot? Look.. this is really simple to dissect. Audi is criticizing a system they are not willing to offer. Tesla did because Musk is crazy. The result of that is a bunch of other butt hurt manufacturers basically saying.. "Hey.. you can't do that!!!!".

Not sure I'd go so far as say "averaged". Most of my hwy driving is 70-75. There are a couple traffic slowdowns on the I-5/120/680 rout that I usually take at the times I usually take them. I have my cruise control set at 9+ so 79 is frequently the setting. That said, I am usually not in the...

It would be interesting for Tesla to start licensing a franchise of limited menu restaurants.. similar to a starbucks. I think that would play well since there always seems to be people charging at the Freemont "mother ship" no matter the time of day or night.

Well.. credit where credit is due.. ... the line about GM looking like a bunch of monkeys trying to figure out a magic trick was pretty friggin funny.

I regularly drive a 90D from Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento, to San Jose. The trip is 110 miles each way. I bump charge in Freemont because it's on my way back home, or charge at work with the recent addition of a couple chargepoint stations. I could make it there and back, but I don't...

I also just attended the event in Sunnyvale. My experience was much like some of those above as far as seeing how few have actually used it. In addition to the demo by Tesla, I got a chance to show a couple folks the real world application of it when a model X tried to pull in to charge at the...
