2 main reasons. I can't deal with the lack of stalks and the reduced range. The Plaid is my 3rd S, got each right when they refreshed. 2016.5, then Raven, now Plaid. I also have owned as 2nd vehicles, Y & 3. I've taken a road trip to FL 8 times, every year since 2016. Here's what I came up...

Took delivery Raven Performance last month. On way home car is noisy blowing cold air on my head (I live in MI bought in Chicago). Tesla literally has no service #, I call sales. They tell me I have to go thru app and someone will call me. App tells me no appointment for a month. They tell me I...

Service is all over phone app. Sales tells me I have to go through service. I bought a new S and picked up a week ago today. This is my 3rd new model S. They delivered the 2nd in 2017 (which is currently waiting on service but I don't want to drive it 200 miles to service center). My new one...

Anyone know if this is true? Do new vehicles come with li ion 12v bat?

Live in a condo with 208 volts, this wouldn't apply to most 240v applications. After a couple years, I changed out my 24' cord for an 8.5 just to save clutter. I am now consistently 1-2 volts higher in charge. This should equate to about 1% faster charging and 1% electric savings:)

I'm building myself a 120v fast charger. I need this for going to the race track where only 110 is avail. It could be used in condos or places where people can't install a 220 plug. It's not super practical in mobility as it weighs a lot (from batteries) but is on wheels. Unit works by accepted...

Cold weather driving in Teslas suck in terms of range. Elon lives in CA so it makes sense the car was optimized for heat. Anyway, beam a software update that turns on battery heater and vehicle heater during limited regen. Currently when the bat is cold, the car has zero regen. You just waste...

The heater runs off the high voltage of the vehicle. Unless they have different, higher amp heaters for the smaller KW vehicles, that would me the heat would be less effective in the 14 module battery packs (350v instead of 400) Is that correct? I've never heard it mentioned but could be an...

The forums from what I have read say the battery heater is 6KW IIRC but on Ebay looking at used heaters, they say right on them 1000w. If this is correct it would take nearly an hour to raise 1400 pounds a deg C which isn't the case. What am I missing?

Must said battery density increases each year. I think he referenced 4%?? the 100KW vehicles have been out for 2 years but they weren't based on better density, only more cells. Same cells as the 90 which came out over 3 years ago. Even with an improvement of 1% per year they could feasibly do a...

I noticed that sometimes my AP would stop at a light and a 'HOLD' would appear on the dash. Didn't think much of it and wondered why it was doing it sometimes and not others. Then playing with the new nav on AP, I noticed it stopping at reds coming off the highway. I even took video. Got off...

This update drives like the previous, pretty good. Problem is that it randomly tries to kill me. Driving down 2 lane highway it has swerved into oncoming traffic for no reason at all more than once. It veers out of lanes on long sweeping turns and would have broadsided the car next to me had I...

Tesla instituted 40 cents per minute fees some time ago to alleviate congestion. People leaving cars there. well, I travel from MI down south a lot. In the midwest there is rarely anyone at a supercharger. So I left my car plugged in overnight while I slept (save an hour of trip time). I did...

First model S was P100D, I'm in Michigan so I had to drive to Chicago. I had multiple issues and the car has some small paint issues. FF to recent 75D purchase. Everything was perfect and car was delivered to my location. Problem is that they delivered a broken car. Rear air suspension leaked...

I've noticed the last 4 updates or so, the descriptions are very vague and short as to what was improved. Regardless the AP2 has been getting steadily better and is very smooth at this point. Last week I was timing the 'hold steering wheel nag' and it was right at 63 seconds. Today after update...

Some of this data is clear cut, some is anecdotal so I apologize in advance for not having it be more scientific. I got my P100d with all seasons on it and immediately changed to Yokohama V902B Winter Tires 245/45R19. The performance was amazing, best value ($420 shipped) I've ever got in a...

So do I still have to pay to upgrade my 100d or does it happen automatically?

Family road trip, so far we're planning on staying at great wolf lodge (Mason OH) but they have no charging there. I don't know how to not 'lose' a night of charging. One of the issues I'm having is finding hotels to stay at. It seems difficult to search for value/charging/amenities. Really...

I'm wondering if there is a chart showing max charge rate and if it has temperature offsets. I'm also wondering if the P100 charges at higher KW than others due to more cells? P60vs90 etc. It was cold out and I was only one at the station. 50% started at 48KW and it climbed to 72KW by 65% but...

Is this a software thing or do you have to go in and have a new inverter installed? I don't see any info on it on my mytesla page.

Those that wonder what the P100d weighs. It's 5080# w/o driver (I'm 240). This is with 19" wheels, no sunroof, jump seat option, air suspension and 70KW of juice which prob weighs 150# or so (jk)

My Tesla journey is 3 years in the making from when I flew out to LA to test drive one. Clicking off the list of things the car didn't have that I wanted, I finally pulled the trigger on a P100d. 150k This was not a decision I made lightly, as I am a conservative guy. Saving you the details...
