    First thoughts on my Model 3 vs. my Model S

    I have a MS75 solid roof, no options as in no rear hatch electric motors, has springs, just stripped down and it's very nimble compared to the MS D's and loaded versions I've driven as loaners. I can hang the ass out and have a lot of fun driving my car but not so much the D versions. I'd be...

    Two days with Model 3 impressions/review- This is not a mini model S

    Sounds like the the driving characteristics are just like my Models 75 hard top with springs. I can get the back end out and have a lot of fun in it. Much more nimble than more complex Model S’s.

    Precondition battery iOS app update out

    I turned my climate on via the new app at 8 C and didn’t see anything indicating a battery preheat. I have the required software update for the car.

    Precondition battery iOS app update out

    I think the whole vehicle needs to be oriented towards Fremont for that upgrade trick to work. After all they use GPS to locate the most devout during releases and especially at Christmas time.

    Can’t Charge Above 97%?

    I have a 75 and get 230 miles at 100%. I have 33K miles on a Oct 16 car. I commute 600 miles a week. Just wanted to add my data point.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    I wonder if your car is a couple hundred pounds lighter too since you don’t have a glass roof or big wheels, maybe springs too...

    4 years and counting

    That's great. @The Fury how's the range/charge holding out? I've had mine for almost 5 months and have 11K miles on it.

    Trouble in Paridise?

    Tesla workers complain of long hours, low pay and unsafe conditions Looks like there is some tensions developing over the tough delivery schedules.

    Autosteer scary on Highway 17 in California

    That's part of my daily commute from Carmel to Santa Clara. I usually am on hwy 17 at 5:15 A.M. Using AP sounds risky at best! The regen is really useful though.

    Tesla will never stop innovating. Major revisions every 12-18 months.

    When I bought my MS75 last Sept. my use case was simple: "To make my commute as painless as possible which is some 180 miles round trip" The result of research: An electric commuter car. Needs to get me to work and back on one charge. Be able to use the white stickers so I don't get caught...

    extremly disappointed - don't buy until you see your car

    +1 Do not sign anything until inspected.

    Thanks, I was wondering the same.

    Why are my feet cold?

    I have the same issue in my MS

    My friend's new S75 gets 257 miles at 90%???

    They must have put the wrong battery in at the factory!

    PAST EVENT: Lunch Meet-up at the OK Corral Gun Club Resort

    Looks like you're doing well with the isosoles stance and grip. Just need to lean in a bit more... :) What caliber and kind of pistol did use?

    Does the giga factory have the solar roof already installed?

    Crowd gathered around my Tesla today...

    That's quite a crowd. I've never experienced that big a gathering only 5 or so and I felt a little uneasy being the center of attention...

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    Here's my set up using Number 2 wire running 80' from the main load center to the HPWC Also have a NEMA 14-50 as a back up running number 6. 48A charging for HPWC and 40A for the NEMA 14-50 If I decide to activate the dual charger I can run the full 72A from the HPWC. I've got a 2016 MS75.

    Wall connector - Charge speed reduced

    Probably a good idea. They can check the voltage across the meter and go back from there. I am getting a solid 241V from my meter.

    Please correct my views on Model S charging if wrong.

    The 90% charge marker kicks in a battery charge balancing algorithm so the frequent charges allows the car to distribute the chaging amoungst the thousands of cells and packs. There's a great thread that articulates the concepts very clearly regarding the charging sequence.

    I was super lucky.

    Actually, the sales associate looked up the car in their super secret inventory database.then started hacking away at the price. I couldn't stop her. When all the dust finally settled, I was presented with a deal I couldn't refuse!

    Wall connector - Charge speed reduced

    For an 80' run I used #2 wire and get 238V at the car. In addition, I had the service increased to 200A into my house. If you charge off peak household hours do you get the same result?

    I managed to get a 2016 75 MS for 56k after rebates during the dealer incentive window end of Q3. Everyone thinks I'm rich now!
