*shrug* Just goes to show that money does NOT buy class.

I bought the 70D in June of '16 and up until last November it was software locked at 70KwHr. I have since unlocked the remaining 5KwHr capacity on the battery. Curiously, I was just remarking the other day to someone that I hadn't noticed any appreciable degradation in battery performance in...

I can honestly say that I think the doors are poorly designed and the center pillar is misplaced. For such a large car with plenty of room (no engine and no spare), why is it so hard to get in and out of the dang thing? The squeeze between the center pillar at your back and the steering wheel...

I feel your pain. I was involved in a very minor accident August 30th. Something that should take a body shop no more than two weeks MAX to fix. It was over a month before the insurance company and the body shop agreed on what would be paid for and how much (apparently there is some ambiguity...

I've got the same dash cam. Installed it a few months ago and never had a problem like this with the fob or locks.

Nope... my user agreement SPECIFICALLY said it was BETA. You can dispute anything else I said, but the user agreement I agreed to said BETA, and I very clearly paid for it. Now, prices haven't gone up by 20K, so I doub there is that much of an investment in hardware. The retrofit is another...

FINALLY GOT MINE! LOVE IT! Have no idea why so many people have complained about this release. I LOVE The ability to actually use my TuneIn paid account, and the UI is a lot cleaner IMHO.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a PATH to upgrade (even at a cost to the consumer). Only reason I say so is that like many, I PAID to be a BETA tester for Tesla. This is unprecedented, to say the least. I've been in IT for a LONG time never paid to beta test anything for anyone...

Still no sign of 8.0 on my car. Did I loose or win the lottery?

Still waiting here also. You're not alone.

Not a sign of 8.0 on my horizon as of yet. Kinda feeling a bit left out here. Is anyone else still waiting to get the upgrade? Anyone think that the upgrades have been halted to fix some early bugs that were found and now it will be more of an 8.1 relase? What's the current theory out there?

Really? What's buggy? I've been out of town for several weeks and havne't kept up on things. Have there been problems?

Still haven't gotten the update. Any way to "force" the update to happen?

Snarky lil' fella, aren't ya? ;-)

Wait... I'm confused.... you think that Tesla is a non-profit, and they are only interested in manufacturing the Tesla in order to save humanity? Really?

But you touched on a key point in your response.... "The way that it works IS remarkably like an aircraft autopilot" and "The #1 thing that you're taught about autopilots, as a new pilot...". Who "trained" you to use autopilot in your Tesla? Who explained the difference between what "pilots...

I'm not reading the Tesla Manual to define the word PILOT?!?! The DICTIONARY is the source of truth for the definition of the word PILOT. The MANUAL is and instruction manual for a car. Look, I'm a fan too. I get it. But at the end of the day even Tesla is accountable to shareholders and...

I'd disagree... if they want to avoid future lawsuits they absolutely had to do it. You don't get to call something Auto Pilot (short for AUTOMATIC Pilot), and then not have it act in a way that could not be described as "Automatic". Especially when the consequences involve damage to property...

Am I the only one totally disappointed with this announcement (especially two weeks late?!). Nothing so specific in in here that he couldn't have released two weeks ago when he said he would, and I was expecting a MAJOR UI announcement/change. This just feels like a "bug fix" release to me...

Did Elon make his big announcement? Been out on business travel and haven't had the time to check in, but since He said it would be out last weekend, I figured I missed it. What's the scoop?

Just traveled to Santa Fe from Denver and all in all, it wasn't bad. I'm not a "road tripper" so honestly, any more than 2 hours in a car drives me crazy. So the stops to supercharge weren't bad for me at all. 15-20 minutes and I was on my way. NOW, that being said, I did wonder how much...

So glad I saw this thread. I just called up my insurance agent (Farmers) when I noticed my premium when up almost 3X! I couldn't believe it. Part of my decision making process in the purchase of the car was insurance that he quoted me in May. Three months later, it jumped by over $200 a...

Lol... <geek humor is the best!>

Reminds me of an old joke told by my Physics Prof back in college. =============================================================================== A Physicist and bookie are having a conversation at a horse track Physicist: I can calculate to 99.9% accuracy who will win the next race, come in...

So, as many of you know, I went on a long weekend to Santa Fe NM from Denver this past weekend and had some interesting experiences with SuperChargers along the way. First, on the way down, I pulled into the Trinidad CO SC, with no one else there, and began to charge. Noticed my Amps were...

Thanks for Everyone who offered advice. Had a GREAT time. Highly recommend the Santa Fe Opera, (even if you're not a fan of the music) for an amazing experience. Ended up with plenty of charge after a full charge in Las Vegas, to putter around Santa Fe and get back to Las Vegas for the trip...

Thanks for the info. That's great to know. I was planning on stopping at the Las Vegas SC, but may get diverted through Taos, so the last one I see may be the Trinidad charger then on to Santa Fe. Not sure just yet. I'll definitely seek out the Sprouts location.

I'm taking a weekend trip down to Santa Fe from Denver this weekend to take in the famous Santa Fe Opera and see the sites. I don't have any worries about getting down there, but scouting the area, I don't see many DC chargers in the area, and the destination chargers are all strictly "Patrons...

I've done this in a couple of parking garages and have found that if you take the bumps at an angle, you lessen the "bounce" that you get, and reduces the chance of actually hitting the underside of the car and bottoming out.

Hopefully someone will figure this out.

I'll keep that in mind. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

I couldn't really say. I plug in when I get home and recharge every night. Insignificant, I'm sure (couple of miles?) But it seems like it hums a lot, which to my ears, sounds like something moving or running, which is why I asked if it really needs to sleep. Am I unwittingly wearing out a...

I know I've probably created the situation with my enthusiasm in signing up for every website and app in the world allowing access to my car to read it's mind (Tesla App, Teslafi.com, Teslalog.com, EvMote.com, RemoteS and Energi...to name a few) but my car literally never sleeps anymore. I'm...

I know there isn't much need for tools given that there aren't that many things you could USE them on if something went south on you while on the road. But what tools do you keep in your Tesla? So far, I've stocked a flashlight, leatherman multitool, and a digital tire gauge. I've got a tire...

LOL Nice. I seem to miss them, I guess. Good to know there's a twin of my car out there somewhere. We have great taste!

I'd love to join in the trek up the hill on the 30th.

Hey, another Boulder Guy! YAY! I just got mine MS about 3 weeks ago and still finding my way around here. Good to know there is another local around!

HMMMM..... My SC guy said he did the same and found nothing. Starting to think he didn't look very hard.

Where'd you find an adapter?!

Where'd you find an adapter?!

Yup, that's the one I ordered (but got it from Amazon instead of directly through CordDepot)

Just got off the phone with the service center and they didn't have one and couldn't track one down for me. I also got a pretty stern warning that if I used a third party adapter, that Tesla wouldn't not cover any damage to the vehicle or charger that could result. So, I guess that's a shot...

Thanks for the suggestion. I already ordered the 14-30 adaptor with a 30' extension cord, so I'm going to give that a shot and just monitor it closely to see if there is a problem. If things get hot (literally), then I'll explore the fall-back plan.

*THUNK* --- that's the sound of my 72 year old mother fainting as I mount this to her wall.... LOL

Good to know. The house was built in the 2000's so I'm guessing the wiring is decent enough to supply 24A to me without much trouble. The real pain, to be perfectly honest is moving the dang dryer everytime I need to juice!

I'd love to, but It looks as though Tesla no longer makes the 14-30P adaptor, so I'm going to have to go with the patchwork of Amazon adaptors and extension cords to make it work. I could potentially stop at superchargers along the way to avoid this, but I can't imagine doing it on a regular...

Interesting... So the "intelligence" is built in to the adapter to tell the car what amperage to pull. I'm guessing that the guy at the service center either doesn't know this, or assumes that no one is using a third party adapter. I'll have to bring him up to speed on this. Thanks everyone...

So I purchased this one to use at my parents place with their clothes dryer plug https://www.amazon.com/Conntek-14-30P-Electric-Vehicle-Adapter/dp/B00STD8CXC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1468812626&sr=8-4&keywords=Nema+14-30p If I use this (maybe with this...

I thought the car automatically have adjusted to the appropriate current? That's what the guy at the service center told me when I asked about this. Is that not true?
