    Supercharging waiting makes my friends angry

    I only half pay attention to MS60 information but weren't some of them actually 75kW batteries that were software limited? is it possible to pay to open the balance of the battery and pay for supercharging upgrade and pay-as-you-go? Or am I confusing this with another battery? It would...

    Error warnings tesla wants to wait to fix.

    Sorry, respectfully disagree. They are BMS errors. My dislplay was identical and I had no means of performing an unsafe driving event (is that a thing?). I could easily be wrong. It seems OP should also have a "may not restart" message.

    Error warnings tesla wants to wait to fix.

    I don't know. What I do know is this happened once in FL where it was warm and the bms protected that battery and the car would not restart. It happened again in Indy where the weather was frigid and the car repeatedly restarted. If the battery coolant heater was the problem one would think...

    Error warnings tesla wants to wait to fix.

    BMS w173 I believe is the may not restart; the other u008 is the acceleration and top speed code.I had the same codes in 2016 S 90D. Car may not restart and accel and top speed reduced. Display looked like yours. I didn't want to take the chance of driving the car back to Merritt Island from...

    What does this symbol mean

    I don't know what version of the software the car is running but my manual makes no mention of a red square with an exclamation point. Generally, there is a triangle with an exclamation point. My S has this right now as a battery fuse needs to be replaced. That triangle (the only alert...

    Buying a 2016 Model S this weekend from dealership - need advice ?

    FWIW. I have a 2016 90D which was billed as a refreshed model; no nose cone. I have MobilEye and AP1 with MCU2. I am extremely happy with the car and have 165,000 miles with about 8% battery degradation. What you have found sounds like a late 2016 model and is capable of FSD. As @tga has...

    Vendor Tesla Model S Battery Extended Service Plans from 057 Technology

    Well, at least someone (the lawyers) will get something out of this. My guess: the enterprise will cost more than any monetary loss suffered and achieve nothing. I've been know to be wrong. 😉

    Sure! Have at it. It's a few years along now but perhaps we could ask in tandem about what happened to MH 370, 😉

    Are you still on the original battery pack with your 2012-2015 Model S?

    2016 90D May build. 165,000 miles. Still get 265 down from 294 at delivery. Lots of supercharging and two instances when the cooling system was compromised. Still my favorite car.

    Supercharger - Maumee, OH

    When I was through there last time ( a month or so ago) the contractors told me they were installing Rivian chargers. Probably more likely that Rivian was installing DC Fast chargers as part of their business plan but available for all to use. Drive through for pick em ups with trailers. I took...

    HV Battery Died with 7 miles range left showing on Range display

    Agree ^^^ Try using Battery percentage rather than milage estimate. I find it more accurate.

    HELP!! We are stranded in Pullman, WA!

    This, recieved from OP via PM, on 9/29: "Lol, we worked it out. I appreciate the feedback and we did find a Tesla charger out in Moscow which is where our hotel room was. It was slow but did the job. Lesson learned and we now have our spare adapter loaded in the car. 😉" Thought she might post...

    FSD TRIAL… 3 months? One month? No month?

    Essentially, you have the hardware for FSD; not the software. That's either lump sum or $199/month on an as needed basis. We all want different things for different reasons. From my point of view, I'm the sucker that paid the lump sum for something that I like less than the AP 1 I have on my...

    Supercharger - Indianapolis, IN - East 86th Street

    Now that it has been RECONFIRMED let me say this: if it shows up as open on your nav screen, it's open. Why would you need to verify a new station? When I set off from FL to IN I don't ask someone to verify each of my charging stops, new or otherwise; if they are shown in the data base they...

    Too bad you're not listed on the PlugShare App. That may have helped them when there were struggling. Something to consider. I searched in that area for them and found no one listed.

    HELP!! We are stranded in Pullman, WA!

    Sorry, I am out of ideas. Plug share shows no private (home) locations with Tesla chargers. Otherwise, except for destination charger at Holiday Inn, you're out of luck. The other person should be leaving soon with any luck.

    HELP!! We are stranded in Pullman, WA!

    The adapter and mobile connecter are two different things. One allows the connection from a J1772 plug; the other allows you to plug into a 120/240v outlet. So you don't have a mobile connector? (What many people call a charger or charging cable).

    FSD Price Cut to $12k Tonight, Aug 31/ Sept 1 2023

    Yes! L3 is in the production queue . It, unfortunately, is just behind the finishing touches of full self driving cross country promised by Elon in 2016. Pretty sure you'll get your L3 as soon as that happens. My guess is the cross country trip will be accompanied by flying pigs (don't hold...

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    Neither rotors nor brakes are used for regenerative braking; only normal braking. Regenerative is done through the motors. So, if I have read your statement correctly, then I would say your rotor/brakes are not the culprit.

    Will/Can Plaid Prices go lower? (Considering ordering,, or wait?)

    Sorry, I don't see this. MSP or M3/CT is like trying to decide on a savory dish for dinner or a piece of pie. Two different desires. The last two will not do what the Plaid offers. Get the Plaid so you don't feel like you've talked to yourself for a year in vain.;)

    Will/Can Plaid Prices go lower? (Considering ordering,, or wait?)

    2016 MS was about $94K with fewer features. Unless you plan to flip it why quibble? What will you do when it goes to $105k? Wait for a price drop?

    Gear Selection Voice Command

    I agree with @EVRider-FL that it would seem easier just to complete manually. I have stalks so it doesn't apply to me. The MS manual does not list those as items which have a voice command. But while I am on the subject, the manual is a great resource for these and other questions. Model S...

    Tesla drops prices on X/S $20k. All colors free. Bye bye resale

    Wow. I paid roughly $98K for my MS in 2016; I can now get a MSP for a little over $80k. FML. I'll never buy another Tesla again. Oh, wait: they're depreciating assets. Never mind. You haven't lost anything yet until you sell the car. Then calculate what you lost from original value minus...

    MS Plaid vs Taycan vs EQS

    After driving a MS for over 7 years, I can say that range estimates are overrated from my experience. Seven years ago I was concerned about range knowing I'd be making frequent trips OH-FL. As a consequence we bought a dual motor (billed as more efficient than RWD) and a 90Kwh battery instead...

    Genrator for back up

    Tell us more about your need to run a generator to charge your Tesla; I'm really curious. Are chargers that few and far between in the west? Are you remotely camping? A little late at this juncture but maybe a hybrid would have suited your needs better. In over 6 years of ownership I've...

    Tire pressure monitoring system fault

    Does HW4 matter

    Not sure @mswlogo was really being sarcastic. Realistic if anything. I have a 2016 MS that was supposed to be many things that it is not. I have a 2021 MY and its FSD is far less capable than the 2016 in some respects (and scarier in others). What to buy now or wait for or hope for in the...

    Looking for advice for Model S 2015 or 2016 P90D

    My 2016 90D has 156000 miles. Few problems and battery is still good. I always believed that 2016 was a good year but I had a good, though short, experience with a 2017 100D.

    90 Watt vs 100 Watt

    Initial connection on 90D will usually peak about 120Kw then gradually taper off. I think the 100D (2017 100D vs 2016 90D) was roughly the same but perhaps a current 100D owner can chime in. From about 10-15% State of Charge SoC to about 50% Soc will take about 15 min.

    90 Watt vs 100 Watt

    Oh, and I neglected to answer one of your questions: 30 miles would probably be more like the difference. My car uses about 300Wh/mi (or a little more than 3 miles/kWh so 3 x 10Kwh=30 miles range increase.

    90 Watt vs 100 Watt

    I have a 2016 90D. With so many superchargers now available, if cost is a factor, stick with the 90 kWh; the few extra miles no longer make that much difference (IMHO). Two-2 1/2 hours is about my max butt time so 90kWh does the trick. I had, and sold, a 100D for many reasons but xtra range...

    black car in Florida?

    I'm not arguing that the metal temperature difference will be insignificant. I'm saying that I have two different color Teslas: one black, one white. In the interior we don't notice a significant difference; HVAC takes care of that. Since we no longer ride on the exterior panels since moving...

    black car in Florida?

    I brought a black/black MS from OH over 5 years ago. I have had the windows tinted. We also purchased a 2022 MY in white. We sense no difference and the fact that you can pre cool the cars is a plus. I'd say get the car you want. IMHO color doesn't matter that much. Certainly black absorbs...

    Charge to 100% - Do U Really Need To?

    In 6 years of OH-FL round trips I've only had to charge to 100% once and that was before the proliferation of superchargers in about 2016 when I wanted to take off through the mountains of TN and NC. For my purposes I don't have to charge to 100%. Your experience and driving habits may dictate...
