    10A charging memory?

    I charge at work using a 16A 3 phase 415Volt supply. Until recently the charging current was always 16A making full use of the 11kW single charger. Now the charging current cannot be raised above 10A. I read that the car remembers the charging current for that location. Is this really the case...

    Noisy coolant pump

    On a journey today, after covering around 150 miles, I stopped at traffic lights and heard a loud humming noise. I looked around at the cars around me to see if I could identify who was making the noise. When I pulled away the noise followed me and I suddenly realised my super silent 'Tessie'...

    Wheel Centre Corrosion

    My S 90D was new in February of this year and has covered 12,000 miles here in the U.K. The plastic wheel centres now look like this; Has anyone else experienced this sort of corrosion and do you think that Tesla should be replacing the centres free of charge? Thanks,

    Window Misting - Safety Hazard

    i have 2 month old S 90D. It has a characteristic which I hope is just unique to my car. It is a problem which occurs on damp days when the windows start to mist up. After the heater and front screen heater is turned on, the front windscreen mists up totally in a couple of seconds preventing...

    The numbers don't add up...I think!

    My S 90D (2 months old, 90% charge is 250 miles), told me today; 90% charge should be 81kWh, so at this stage I should have used about 50% of the available battery power. However the range readout shows; 94 miles as a percentage of 250 miles, is 37%. When switching to the remaining battery...

    Changing mph central display?

    On many Model S YouTube videos the central MPH display is different to mine (2016 Model S 90D). Is the display changeable? I know that the side displays are easily changeable using the scroll controls but I have yet to find anything to change the main MPH display. I know I must be missing...

    Watts per mile - Typical values versus speed?

    Is there any tables which show typical watts/mile against speed? Is 300 watts/mile really achievable for typical everyday driving. From my first 3 weeks of Model S driving 400 watts per mile would seem far more typical..

    Front windscreen misting up

    Here in the UK it is about 35 degrees F. As soon as I put the heater on the front windscreen mists up. it means that I have to pull over and wait until it clears which takes a couple of minutes. This is a regular occurence. It appears that the heater is pulling through air with a high water...

    Supercharger cable a little on the short side?

    Has anyone ever thought that the Supercharger cables are a little on the short side when you access them by reverse parking up to them? Fortunately the Supercharger that I use allows to me to side park as no-one else is ever there even though it has 8 bays.

    Day 7 of my S90D and a whole heap of questions....

    I suppose if I read the manual from cover to cover I could find most of the answers I need, but I just like to read the views of other owners so much. So let's start: 1. Does anyone find the drivers sear belt difficult to lock into place. Both myself and my wife seem to struggle to find the...

    Day 3 of the my Model S adventure. Whilst waiting for the battery to charge I tried to select the BBC iplayer. It said that the car did not have a UK IP address and was therefore unable to connect. Is it possible to watch any of TV type 'player' services in the Model S in the UK? I have read in...

    Model S whine

    Today I collected my new Model S 90D. Great excitement, with a 130 mile drive home from Manchester to Northumberland. It was the silence that was the most impressive. Hovever after 100 miles I began to notice a motor 'whine' at around 10-30 mph before tyre noise took over. is this a fault with...
