    SpaceX investor's thread

    419.99 @ 20% carry sounds like an amazing deal, considering how old that price is. Especially compared to what I've seen elsewhere recently. For those getting sharespost emails - how did you indicate to them you'd be interesting in SpaceX? I really haven't been able to get anyone at sharespost...

    SpaceX investor's thread

    I requested to buy shares on Sharespost in the summer, but I never heard back, even though my offer is marked as "reviewed" now. Of course, they seem to want to do business by calling you, seems very boomerish. Anyway, I'm interesting in getting in if there's still an allocation open and the...

    FS MA: Tesla OEM Pirelli Sottozero II winter tires 245/45r19

    Yes, replaced with Nokian WR G4's, more appropriate for my driving conditions, especially since I have to switch out of the PS 4S summer tires that came with the P100D earlier.

    TeslaFi and TripB indicate different consumption

    Setting the wrong car will definitely get you a wrong answer. However for more up to date info this thread is probably better: This is why you can't get 'rated range'

    Using TM-Spy to see Model S data.

    Is there a curated recipe/spyvarparmlist.csv somewhere? I'm working off @garygid's one from 2016, only some of which tm-spy recognizes. Or are we keeping these a secret?

    Time of delivery

    My car was there and ready for pickup 4 days (at least) before my scheduled appointment. I only found out because I called them for info because no one reached out about the registration/etc. "Oh by the way, the car is here, would you like to pick it up today?" o_Oo_Oo_O I get the feeling I...

    Time of delivery

    So estimated delivery in May, might make it by July, good news? The level of frustration is here is off the charts. Assuming I get mine, don't plan on buying a new Tesla again for 8 years at least. I should have known better this time around. A solid month of regret since selling my last one.

    Time of delivery

    5/28? or 4/28? I ordered 4/23 and I've still had no updates from Tesla. Although my VIN appeared hidden in source code on 6/8.

    Delivery frustration...

    Well congratulations you have a date. Nadda here. This is clearly worse than when I got my first Tesla, nearly 4 years ago now. Right now there's absolutely no status to report to a future owner, and they've even screwed up my configuration once. No one you can speak with at Tesla knows what's...

    Have a Model X on order? Go ahead and double check it's still configured correctly.

    If ordering Performance, there is no price difference. Since I was refreshing the order screen everyday, but not the configuration, I have no idea how long my order had the wrong interior for. Probably several weeks.

    Have a Model X on order? Go ahead and double check it's still configured correctly.

    It's not just Model X, my order is for S and this happened.

    Time of delivery

    So I checked my order, and the same thing happened to me. Tesla has some sort of database corruption. When I spoke to a sales advisor, what I was told was that as far as Tesla was aware the wrong interior was the car I was going to get. I insisted it was right back in April when it was...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Can anyone tell me if Model S's are being delivered right now with UMC1 or UMC2? and does it charge at 40A from a NEMA 14-50?

    Battery sticker, since somebody asked.
  18. C

    FS 2015 P90DL 22k, Silver, dual charger

    Based on comparables, reducing asking price to $59,900. Have 25 or less days to complete this sale or turn the car into Tesla, at which point I fully expect them to ask for more on tesla.com.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Ordered a P100D on 4/23. My account is now in "Prepare for delivery" but I can still edit the design (have twice now). I haven't accepted Tesla's trade-in offer. Is nothing happening until I do? Did they start building Model S ahead of time now or perhaps they didn't even start building my car...

    FS 2015 P90DL 22k, Silver, dual charger

    I was unhappy with the trade in value I got from Tesla, so looking for a better offer before my estimated May delivery date. Frankly almost about the cancel the whole deal and keep the car for another 4 years because I already ate the depreciation and it's still much better than any Model 3. Car...

    Car hasn't slept in 9 days. Draining 15-20 miles per day. 12V going bad?

    Of course. Nothing in the car changed. Just one day, it stopped sleeping. It's been 15 days since it slept. I got a nice popup driving down the highway the other day at around 80% SoC, something like "car may not restart, charge immediately", which disappeared so quickly I barely had time to...

    Car hasn't slept in 9 days. Draining 15-20 miles per day. 12V going bad?

    I've never seen this happen before. No software updates were done, and I even tried changing my tesla.com password to make sure all loggers were gone. Rebooted everything, even tried using poweroff for a while. According to TM-spy it appears to be floating the 12V system at ~14.6V and 5A, at all...

    110V charging, now even slower?

    2 years and 2 months later, now on 2018.42.2. Looks like somebody at Tesla development forgot about the fudge factor and "fixed the bug" in just one place. Now the API and Tesla's app show the actual amperage, but the car itself is still fudged, it reads 16A and is maxed out below. LOLWTF

    Thermodynamics of modes of transport: Cycling vs EV's

    No I get it. You're saying people ate way too much and are so fat anyway that they might as well get on a bicycle. So they've already committed the pollution they just need to cash in now? Like being in a bank you are robbing, all you have to do is walk out with the cash now? How about we don't...

    Thermodynamics of modes of transport: Cycling vs EV's

    Can't say if the former is true, but it doesn't matter. You conclusion violates the first law of thermodynamics. Otherwise you could build a free perpetual energy machine from bicyclists.

    Thermodynamics of modes of transport: Cycling vs EV's

    Actually thank you for pointing this out. While my calculation was using Model 3 and car speeds and bicycles at bicycle speeds, this gives a huge unfair advantage to the bicycle. We know from published data that Model S maxes out at ~22 mph at ~170Wh/mi, down from a rated ~300Wh/mi. Given the...

    Thermodynamics of modes of transport: Cycling vs EV's

    6 mph is just too slow, that is jogging speed. Commuters on bicycles go much faster than this. According to this article, commuters range from 15.5 mph to 18.6 mph. I would suspect as well with electric assist these speeds increase. What is a reasonable speed for long distances on a bike?

    Thermodynamics of modes of transport: Cycling vs EV's

    I haven't seen data on real-world consumption for a full ebike. Seems most units are pedal assist, which makes this more difficult. There's much more data on calories burned. Zero motorcycles seems to be about around 100Wh/mi based on their website, and you know *everyone* exaggerates their...

    Thermodynamics of modes of transport: Cycling vs EV's

    Using 1800 calories a day basal metabolic level (for the example rider) BMR Calculator, Basal Metabolic Rate Calculator | MyFitnessPal.com, for the 10 minute bike ride above this only comes out to ~14Wh. Does not change the calculation significantly enough. That's assuming basal rate is included...

    Power Steering falling apart

    My power steering motor fell off while attempting to pull out of my garage this morning. 12/2015 delivery, 15k miles. I was going to replace the bolts myself on the Saturday after the recall announcement, but I decided not to given Tesla was doing a recall. Was almost impossible for me to steer...

    Thermodynamics of modes of transport: Cycling vs EV's

    Cycling without question viewed as "good for the planet" versus any other mode of transport. I've tried to actually confirm this with a physics approach, and I always get answers that are very upsetting to cycling crowd. If all cities are planning for future in which bicycles solve the energy...

    TeslaFi.com

    Replying to myself I guess. Anyone seen @Jdeck? FYI I'm sure of it now, the temperature efficiency page is very inaccurate if you tend to park where it is a different temperature than most of your drive, that include up to parking in the sun.

    TeslaFi and TripB indicate different consumption

    Sorry, it even falls short of this. The location of the shunt resistor does not account for this either, unless someone wants to claim a 90% efficiency coming out of of the pack at a small fraction of C is normal. If this were true the cells would basically be eating themselves. Anything that...

    TeslaFi and TripB indicate different consumption

    That's just how it's calculated internally. Actually Wh, %, rated miles, ideal miles can all be directly translated to each other via multiplication. I'm leaving out any funny business like having the snowflake icon and reporting reduced range, or things that might happen as the battery...

    TeslaFi and TripB indicate different consumption

    What is ABRP? This should give everyone pause, but it seems most are happy to overlook it. It seems you care about this so it's probably worth understanding. BTW, you can confirm my calculation above by going in the opposite direction: Do a long charge, carefully noting the total miles added...

    TeslaFi and TripB indicate different consumption

    No. The trip meter in the car is just wrong. There's many ways to prove this, which are documented on these forums. For what it's worth, Teslafi isn't calibrated properly for my car by default either, here are directions on how to set your fudge factor properly: Set fudge factor to 1.0. Look at...

    TeslaFi and TripB indicate different consumption

    You're not missing something, Tesla is. I went on a long rant about this in the Teslafi thread. The car is not correct. Getting Teslafi and Tesla to match with the fudge factors means nothing. I should add more details - Teslafi shows measurement by the amount of energy that has gone missing...

    @Jdeck I think there's something with the temperature efficiency page. I took a ~37 miles drive at -1.5F average, -3F min, over 36 hours ago, and it's still not appearing on the page (at least not for anything under 10F). I hope it's not using start of drive temperature for this? Because half my...

    110V charging, now even slower?

    Given we don't know what model you have, this mph is irrelevant. Well if we're going to recap the whole thread again now. Yes. Car claims 12A, draws <11A. Tesla's software now asserts that 11=11 but also 12=11. Given that 300-400W goes to auxillary losses while charging, this is more like the...
