    Appeal to Tesla to unlock all those software-limited High Amperage Chargers

    The 3-phase High Amperage Charger in all facelift Model S and all Model X ordered before July 1, 2017, was software limited to 11 kW although the hardware is capable of doing 16.5 kW, unless one chose the option to pay a fierce premium for those 5.5 kW more in AC charging rate, which is still...

    245/35R21 front & 265/35R21 rear tires - Deeper meaning behind this and can it be changed?

    The rims (in my case 21" Arachnids) obviously are the same, but the back wheels came with a wider tire. The Michelin Pilot Super Sport Acoustic is not a specific EV tire and my guess is that the wider rear tires are just supposed to provide a better wheel grip for RWD sports cars (clearly not an...

    [PSA] Beware of the quirks of the current round of the Tesla Referral Program (till April 30, 2018)

    Only the FIRST to use a referral code in this round of the referral program will receive the credit toward service or accessories. A clever step by Tesla, because that way there is just no point at all that the same referral code is used more than once. There will be NO credit if the order is...

    Falcon Heavy Demo Launch - Best Public Viewing Area?

    We'll be in Florida at the end of the year, which means if the date of December 29 should hold, we would be able to watch our very first rocket launch live. Can anyone recommend the best possible publicly accessible spot for watching that launch?

    Any success story of an authorized RWD 75 uncorking yet?

    Since all discussions about what's going to happen to RWD 75 vehicles have been mixed into threads about uncorking 75Ds, let's finally have our own thread for RWD 75 owners. The info so far: almost all 75D are eligible for uncorking at no additional costs simply by software no RWD 75 is...

    Has anybody with a Model S or X 75 kWh battery ever seen a charging rate of more than 100 kW?

    Ours reaches a max of exactly 100 kW at some point below 50% SOC, but only for a second or so. To be clear, this is not about any other battery size, has nothing to do with a specific SuC station, SOC and outside or battery pack temperature. It is about the determination of the max rate the 75...

    Regenerative Braking with 100% Charged Software-Limited 60 kWh Battery

    In this video I am demonstrating regenerative braking with a 100% charged battery in our new Tesla Model S 60 (applies to a Tesla Model X 60D as well), which is one of the advantages of having a 75 kWh battery software-limited to 60 kWh. This clearly confirms that regular charging and...

    While Waiting For Our Tesla Model S - S 70D For A Day - Downhill Two (Video)

    This is the last video we made before our own Tesla Model S 60 had arrived. Going downhill in a Tesla really is like flying on the road. If you make it to the end of this video, you either like the music or the views. :-)
