    New Model S: a couple of questions re settings

    My old Model S had a "coast" mode where you could let off the accelerator and it would coast at a few mph. In the new one it will come to a complete stop. Is there a setting to change this? I didn't see one. The homelink works fine for a basic remote, but I can't get it to program a "learn...

    Scheduled Charging

    Does anyone else find it inconvenient that scheduled charging only specifies the start time of charging? in my neighborhood peak charging hours are 4 to 9 PM, so I schedule my charging to start at 9. But, if I come home at noon and want to quick charge, I need to remember to turn off scheduled...

    Wall Connector Error

    When I plugged in, the light on my Wall Connector unit started flashing red, and the car did not charge. I held the reset button in and now the unit is flashing green but still not charging (should be solid green when not charging, streaming green when charging). The problem is, the manual...

    Supercharging at High Altitude

    My car overheated while supercharging last week. It was a long charge (approx 1.5 hours) at high altitude (7,000 ft). The result was I got an error message that said battery cooling and A/C were affected and to contact Tesla service. The A/C did not work again in the car until it had been parked...

    75D vs 100D Passing Speed

    The Tesla configurator shows that the 75D and 100D battery models have virtually the same 0-60 times, but that the 75D has a lower top speed. That doesn't matter to me since I don't plan to go over 140 mph. They only show passing speed times for the P100D. Does anyone know what they are for the...

    My lease is up and I'm selling my TSportline gloss black 21" wheels. $1,000 firm pick-up only in San Gabriel Valley, So Cal. $5.5k brand new, and in my opinion the sharpest looking wheels on the Model S.

    Lug Nut Size

    I'm changing the wheels on my MX. They are the standard 20" rims that came with the car. I was told that the lug nut size was 13/16, so I ordered that size socket. It is way too small. Does anyone know what the actual size is?

    Purchasing Refurb 22" Wheels

    Hi all - I have a new Model X on the way and want the 22" silver rims. Since those are no longer an option (only available in black), I bought the car with the standard rims and plan to buy from a third party. The following website offers refurb versions of the original 22" silver tesla OEM...

    Advice - How much to ask for used T-Sportline rims?

    I have a set of 21" TS115 wheels in gloss black I'm looking to sell (no tires). See: 21 They're about 18 months old and all have had some curb rash that has been touched up with touch-up paint. I plan to sell them as is and leave it up to the buyer as to whether they want to take them to a...

    Garage Door Opener Possibly sending Double Signal

    Whenever I use the garage door opener on my gate it opens, but then after a second the gate reverses as if it has received the signal again. This doesn't happen with any of my other cars, just the Tesla. Has anyone experienced something similar? Are there any possible fixes such as shortening...

    Tesla Energy will not Allow me to Pick a Different Salesperson

    Has anyone used the Volta app?

    There are a couple of Volta chargers near where I park. For those who don't know, Volta chargers are free chargers that are found usually in malls or other retail parking lots (all the Whole Foods lots seem to have them). You can use their free app to locate them, which is convenient, but I've...

    How often do you charge to 100%?

    My charging situation now is that it is convenient for me to charge to 100% once per week and not charge at all the rest of the week (but without having to run the battery below 10%). I know charging to 100% frequently is not recommended, but I also know many think that is out of an abundance of...

    Drag Strips

    Who all has taken their car out on a drag strip? I'm itching to go do some ludicrous runs but don't even know where to begin. I'm in So Cal and there's a reasonably close drag strip in Pomona, but they don't appear to have a website and I don't know if they have days for amateurs or if it's...

    Does turning off Ludicrous Mode save battery?

    I've recently taken to driving around without ludicrous mode engaged, as the acceleration with it turned on tends to make my passengers car sick (acceleration feels a little more gentle with it turned off). Will this translate into a benefit in range or does it not really matter if you're not...

    Things I learned about Slacker Streaming

    Recently I did a deeper dive into how Slacker streaming works by doing research on this board, other discussion groups, emailing Tesla, and RTFM. Since I came across a lot of conflicting information out there, I thought I'd write what I found down all in one place. It may be common knowledge to...

    High Bitrate Streaming Capability

    On the order page for the Model S it advertises "High Bitrate Streaming Capability" for the UHF Sound system. Presumably that's for Slacker radio. Is that a new thing, or is that something that works on earlier facelift Model S' with UHFS? If so, how do you enable it?

    Interrupted Charging

    I was charging overnight at a public lot recently, and someone had removed the J1772 charger to plug themselves in (it's fine, I was full by that time already and I think the lot attendants monitor time and do the plugging themselves). But my adapter was still in the charging port. How do you...

    Your Preferred EQ/Dolby Surround Settings

    So this has been covered in another thread that largely got derailed by the eq reset bugs, but I'd like to know what everyone's preferred EQ settings are and whether you prefer Dolby Surround on or off. I'm sure the optimal settings differ between UHF and standard settings, so please specify...

    Simple Explanation of kWh and Range?

    The picture here is the trip summary since my last charge. I started with 100% charge and 265 rated miles (P90DL) and am currently sitting at 65 rated miles. These are mostly city miles and I'm a leadfoot so 200 rated miles only gets me 112.2 miles, but what does the kWh number mean? It can't...

    Where do you put your change?

    As a MS driver for a few months now, one of the frustrating things is I still haven't found a convenient place to drop my change. For now I drop it in the center console where the USB chargers are, but it's not very convenient to fish it out of there. What do you do with your change?

    Portable Tire Inflators

    Check my math - Tesla CO2 footprint

    I was doing a little research, and while definitive data was hard to find I found some statistics that stated that over its lifetime a gas car produces 24 tons of CO2, while an EV produces 19 tons of CO2 (taking manufacturing into account, etc.). I realize that those numbers could vary wildly...

    Options to Charge from a NEMA 6-30 Plug?

    Hi all - I have a NEMA 6-30 plug about 30' from where I park my car, but Tesla does not make the necessary adapter. As a total novice when it comes to anything electrical, would the following adapter and extension cord allow me to charge my car using this outlet? NEMA 14-50R to 6-30P Adapter -...

    HRE 20's vs. Tsportline 21's

    Hi folks - first time poster, long time lurker. I'm taking delivery of a new P90DL next week, and want to get an opinion on wheels. I'm deciding between 20" HRE S107s, and the 21" TS115's. The car is obsidian black, and I will probably get something like a gloss nickel or grey color. Does...
