    Battery longevity and buying an EV off a dealer lot

    I went to the Audi dealership today to look at the e-tron and one of the things I'd asked about was the ability to set the battery charge limit to prolong the life of the battery. The dealer was oblivious, but I managed to find it in the e-tron menu system where I believe it had been set to...

    Austin tire installation?

    I need to replace my front tires and am looking for alternatives to taking it to the service center. Has anyone used another shop and if so, what are the good and bad things and specific location for your experience?

    P100D tire wear and alternatives

    My S has pretty significant tire wear on both the inside and outside of the tire tread. These seems to suggest under inflation of the tires, which is entirely possible but the TPMS hasn't complained. I'm not sure offhand at what pressures it starts complaining nor am I sure at what pressures...

    Won't gamble with firmware updates any more

    Yes, I'm one of *those people* who harbor an intense dislike of the v9 UI. Would it really be that hard for Tesla to provide the version number and release notes of the software updates before agreeing to install? Not going to bother with all the reasons to hate v9, that topic's been beat to...

    What easter eggs do YOU want?

    I guess things like bug fixes or a functional UI or the like aren't very high on Tesla's priorities these days, so what sort of easter eggs do you want? More games? That seems to be on the menu. Feature removal? Maybe replace the horn noise with a fart noise instead. Perhaps translate the...

    DRL remain on while car is off

    Within the past few months I've noticed that my S, even after sitting overnight, will have a faint glow to the DRL. I can't provide a picture because the glow is so faint (though I could probably set a camera to do a long exposure on a tripod). The glow comes from the part of the DRL that is...

    Not finding service center on map

    I've recently noticed a peculiarity with the on-board google maps system. If you try to find the Austin service center visually i.e. not by doing a search by name, the service center doesn't show up on the map. I ran across this while poking around in the model X in the showroom, but it seems to...

    Looking for a drag strip

    I'd like to take my S out to a drag strip in Texas for a few runs and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Specifically I'm looking for a 1/4 mile strip (no interest in 1/8 mi), preferably relatively close to a supercharger and the closer to Austin, the better. I'd thought about...

    Supercharger Road Trips

    I'm currently working on taking road trips to each supercharger in Texas. I see there about a dozen threads dedicated to different superchargers already :-) The inspiration was the increasingly vague directions to the superchargers. The ones I've been to so far have been on private property...

    Battery data and what to do with it

    I just charged my 60kWh S from ~23% to 100% while recording the CAN bus messages off bus #3 (which has power train and battery information). What might be interesting to look at? Everything is tagged with a 1ms resolution time stamp (just the one you get from the Arduino millis() function that...

    FS: Red 2014 S 60, 13K mi (Texas)

    I have a 2014 Model S for sale with a 60kW battery. Has around 13,300 miles on it. I haven't done a deep cycle on the pack recently, but charged it to 100% and 191 mi range was indicated. Configuration: Piano black Body color roof 19" wheels red multi-coat paint tan nappa leather seats...

    XPEL installers Central TX

    I'm looking for recommendations for an XPEL installer in the central TX area. The installer locator came up with several installers, and at least a couple of them had Teslas in their gallery, but that doesn't necessarily mean the owner was completely happy with the process and results :-)

    Music Player is Pretty Terrible

    Part 1, wherein I marvel at the 8.0 firmware's "shuffle" feature as it turns ~7000! to ~4. (There will be a part two, I just need to make time to sit in the car and rant into a camcorder for a while)
