    Not what you want to see on a Saturday night...

    I want to provide follow up on my battery repair experience in case it helps others in same situation. Model: Roadster Sport 2.0, VIN #557 It started with alert #259 battery problem while charging followed by #1522 continuously and it was rendered not drive-able in August 2019. The battery was...

    Service Center - Cherry Hill

    They have a few internal loaners. I would email them in advance and let them know you need a loaner and see what they say about availability for your date of service.

    Not what you want to see on a Saturday night...

    No. Tesla did not have any batteries available now or anytime in the near future. They told me to come pick up the car. I said I didn't want to have it towed home and it was not reliably drive-able so they agreed to allow me to leave it there until the transport to Gruber could be arranged...

    Not what you want to see on a Saturday night...

    I just had those same errors (259 and 1522) just a few weeks ago on VIN #557 while it was charging. Had to have it towed to Tesla on wheel dollies because we couldn't get it into Tow Mode. Tesla evaluated it with bleed tests and said it needed a new battery and could do nothing else...

    If people are willing to drive down to Wilmington Delaware, the Delaware Valley Tesla Owners Club is having a meet up at Bellefonte Brewing Co (owned by one of our members) from 12-4 pm on August 31st. My Roadster will be there and it would be great to have more. Here is the address: 3605 Old...

    Took Thor to ATCO Raceway and Crushed some ICE

    They have 2 NEMA 14-50 chargers on site. Whether they will let you use them is another question. I used them in March when we had the Electric Drag Race day, but it was not yet full open season then.

    Supercharger - Marlton, NJ

    I think it did have an impact so I am thankful to all who came out. I also have a Delaware Valley Tesla Owner email list so if you'd like to be notified about upcoming events which we organize, DM me your name and email address and I'll add you to my email list (not shared with anyone and only...

    Supercharger - Marlton, NJ

    Great turnout--33 cars came! Speakers were: someone from the management at Promenade, the Mayor of Evesham, me (@ViviV), and Rick Denzian (a model 3 owner "Zero Emission Musician") and he also sang a song. Then there was the ribbon cutting (photo credit LindaLinda Abate). There are some...

    Supercharger - Marlton, NJ

    This is just an idea at this point open for discussion. It could go both ways-- just the ones reserved for Tesla or potentially all of them if one considers that there should be no reason to park in those spots if there are other spots available. The cones could simply say "EV Charging" which...

    Supercharger - Marlton, NJ

    That is what I was thinking. It would be a little inconvenient to move a cone, but at first it's about education and alerting people that they shouldn't park there. The cones would do that. Much easier to move a cone than an ICE car. Also, the manager person told me that because the chargers...

    That is helpful feedback. I will engage the appropriate people at Tesla about the signage with the example you mention.

    I met with Promenade management today. Here are some updates: Grand Opening Event details- some parking area will be blocked off and traffic re-routed. A symbolic ribbon cutting will take place. The mayor of Marlton will speak. I will also speak representing owners. I am not certain who else...

    Service Center - Cherry Hill

    Dinner was a success. Great turnout and enthusiasm. You should have received the post-meeting survey to complete. Roadster service was great- annual service, switching to winter tires, and fixing the diagnostic USB port I broke several months ago. I was expecting to leave it for several days...

    Service Center - Cherry Hill

    Congratulations! You are going to love it. What time will you be there?-- I'm actually going to Cherry Hill that same day to pick up my Roadster from Annual Service (if it is ready). This dinner meeting is to organize ourselves to plan future events. I will include you in the email with minutes...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    How about the average efficiency when Projected Miles = Rated Miles? Have to drive with energy graph open and adjust speed/driving style till you get the match -- 250 Wh/mi for me.

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    I'm getting same as you. The dotted line is exactly overlaying the rated solid line at both 255 and 256 (solid line is wider than dotted line) which is why I thought that number was the rated efficiency at first. For me, the projected miles matching rated miles at 250 Wh/mi is very reproducible...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    @SigNC that was me -- however I have subsequently driven until the projected range is equal to the rated range on the battery (223 in picture) and this shows Avg Wh/mi =250 is rated. The lines don't exactly overlap like they did at 256 Wh/mi, but I don't know how they designed the line on the...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    That is close to rated of 250 Wh/mi! I'm around 278 Wh/mi avg over 2500 miles

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    @NewTMSMan .... or find people who are flooring it all the time with Avg efficiencies over 300 Wh/mi but who still charge close to 310 miles. Or people with cars that only charged to 290 miles when they got them with only 7 miles on the odometer. They must have been a crazy 7 miles to lower my...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    Yes, it is only available for iOS on the app store. It is useful and the Siri shortcuts are easy to use. I personally like: "Wake up Tesla" followed by "Turn on Climate" as I am walking to my car. Lots more choices for verbal commands including switching between cars. ‎Remote S for Tesla

    So that people can see what @Dannno is referring to, here is the relevant screen shot from Remote S App for my P3D. Est capacity = 72 kWh Here is the screen shot for the P3D of a friend of mine whose battery charges to 310 miles (85%=263 miles extrapolates to 309 at 100%). Est capacity = 77...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    @FSKT As an owner of many Teslas since 2012 I have experience with charging, however in this case for Model 3 my personal opinion and that of experienced owners of other models may not be as important as what we are told by the service center. To that end, I am one of the unfortunate P3D owners...

    Tesla Cherry Hill in conjunction with some enthusiastic members of the Tesla Owners Club Mid-Atlantic (including me), are organizing a dinner on October 26th at 6:30 pm in Cherry Hill NJ at Caffe Aldo Lamberti to start planning some local events for Tesla owners in the Philadelphia/South Jersey...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    @FSKT I have a P3D+ and I am not OK with 290 for 100% in a new car. I got the rated Wh/mi for my car as 256 from the energy graph. I altered my speed until I was able to get the average dotted line to be exactly superimposed on the solid rated line so the dotted line is not seen. I'd be curious...
  32. ViviV

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    Exactly! Which is what my range is showing at 100%, 292. Also taking into account that Remote S shows my RWD and P3D+ having the same estimated kWh battery size (72k), this would lead me to believe that the reason my range shows 290-292 at 100% SOC is some software issue. I've seen other people...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    update -- Rated for P3D is 256 Wh/mi [drove until the rated and dashed line were superimposed on energy display]
  34. ViviV

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    As shown below, on my P3D+ the rated appears to be about 260 wH/mi. My RWD does not yet have v9 to compare. Yes, but this shouldn't change the rated since the tires can be changed and the other features of PUP don't affect driving, it just means I will not get the rated miles. My...

    Model 3 Performance Battery Degradation One Month (Story)

    I've had a Model 3 RWD since Feb and it still charges to 308-310 at 100% and 279 for 90%. No degradation at all. I've had P3D since August and it only charges to 290 miles at 100% and 261 for 90%. It has not decreased. It was like this on delivery. Both are driven and charged in similar manner...

    Took Thor to ATCO Raceway and Crushed some ICE

    Race of P3D+ against a Mustang 5.0 was close, but P3D+ won in the end (P3D+ was driven by Peter, reaction time 0.100). https://youtu.be/LQJj9dEU0tA Best overall time for P3D+ was 11.809 sec @ 114.10 mph for the quarter mile track. This was driven by me with reaction time 0.119. 2010 Roadster...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    This may be service center dependent. I have not had a problem with switching between winter and summer tires for my Roadster (using same wheel rims) at my Tesla SC. Neither tire is the original tire model. In addition, I've already talked to my service center about P3D+ and they said they can...

    It may not be practical or needed, as I am currently having fun with the Performance Model 3, but I am keeping the Roadster for now. It was the whole reason I bought a Roadster knowing that Model 3 was on the way. For weekends it provides the topless (@Xenius -- hopefully you'll drive the...

    Unlimited supercharging for performance model 3's

    My account also says "Pay Per Use Supercharging" I am grandfathered in to the free supercharging for my P3D (see email text in screen shot below) and I am confident that they will eventually update the account to reflect this. It is just a slow process. In the meantime, they say to keep the...

    Performance Model 3 Snow Tires/Rims

    This thread has been invaluable in helping me make a winter decision for my P3D+. Thank you all who contributed to this discussion. Considered all the options 1. Keep 20" wheels, buy all-season tires (keep or sell the Michelin Pilot 4S) 2. Keep 20" wheels, buy winter tires (reinstall and...

    PPF and ceramic coating in the Philadelphia region

    I am getting my P3D on the 17th. On the 18th I am taking it to Signature Detailing in Hillsborough NJ, even though this is about a 1 hour drive from me near Philadelphia. Greg at Signature did my RWD Model 3 back in Feb with whole front PPF (I chose Suntek) and ceramic coating over the whole...

    Random Roadster Sightings

    Visiting our son in Northern CA for Memorial Day weekend. Saw what may not be an unusual sight in San Francisco, but it was my first in the wild sighting of a Roadster. We were returning a rental ICE car (101 exit 425) around 11 am 5/28 before heading back to Philly from SFO. Wish I could’ve...
