    SiriusXM Volume Scratchy

    count me in too. when I stream from my phone using the XM app no problems. When I change to the XM tuner in the car, static/scratchy. No issues with other sources.

    Buy a used 2019 Model S P100D 11,000 k's or new Model 3 Performance

    Honestly it really depends what ur coming from and what ur looking for... M3 is/was too Spartan for me so I opted for P100DL but In retrospect kinda wish I had gotten M3p model s is big and handles like a boat

    SpaceX investor's thread

    yeah but you won't get access to the shares unless you're willing to pay. 20% of the future profits is steep but you gotta pay to play. Sharespost doesn't charge this type of fee from what I recall but typically you need to be willing to invest 200k min.

    Acceptable Degradation?

    2018 P100D with 23k miles 7% degradation

    battery degradation: supercharge versus home charge

    Personally I do not think it makes any difference. I pretty much home charged to 70% every day and at 20k miles I have 7.5% degradation. There's plenty of people that supercharge frequently and they have minimal degradation. Degradation seems to be more random than related to specific...

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    Displayed range... I’m sure I’m within what’s considered “normal” but clearly I’m below average... I tried really hard to take care is the battery too so I can verfiy that that doesn’t make a difference.

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    even more discouraged now.. Range at 100% is only 292 and it was 315 when new. That's about 7.5% degradation for a car that only has 21k miles. I've discharged to 6% and then charged to 100% and that didn't do anything. Guess I just got a dud.

    Do you have shudder on hard acceleration? AKA death rattle?

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    a quick update. I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my battery since at 80% it's only 232mi which would make my 100% 290 miles which is about 8% degradation.... It used to be 315

    Do you have shudder on hard acceleration? AKA death rattle?

    Nope Not a traction control issue, definitely a design issue which is why Tesla issued a service bulletin. Mine is fixed for now. Apparently ravens have the same issue.

    Can’t remember but from what I recall the car recognized the new tpms after driving a couple of miles

    Is this curb rash worth $100 to fix?

    Only if it’s on the drivers side

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    although 5.5% is in the normal range, it's clearly in the bottom category.
  14. dk10438

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    people use range at 90% or 100% to estimate degradation because they know what it was when they first got the car and what it is presently. I suppose that it's somewhat irrelevant for most people since they cannot attain EPA range in the real world so "range" is somewhat of a myth but at least...

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    my normal practice is to charge nightly to 70% @60A. I have discharged the car to 20% and charged to 100% to "reset" the BMS algorithm but it didn't seem to help much. I might try charging every other day which would be 20-80% to see if it changes. If not, oh well... battery degradation is to...

    Slipstream vs Arachnid?

    re: range and efficiency see my prior thread Mileage hit not as bad as I expected changing from 19's to 21's as previously noted, tire width and stickiness have a larger effect on mileage/efficiency than weight it's settled into 374 Wh/mi on 245 fronts and 285 rears

    Thoughts on my charging habbits

    honestly, you are missing out on one of the greatest advantages of having an EV which is not to have to go to a gas station to refuel. Fueling at a SC is literally 10-15x worse than going to a gas station.

    Very slow charge rate from 85-90% on a level 2 charger

    Hi I'm wondering if this is normal. I know that charging to 90% or 100% takes considerably longer on a SC. My question is NOT regarding a SC, it's about level 2 charging. At work I have access to a level 2 clipper creek charger which gives me something like 18 miles per hour. I'm wanted to...

    2020 Model Y Performance or 2017 Model S 100D Performance? **

    well you have to consider that this is the S board so you're going to get skewed opinions. Tech is better in the Y for sure but I prefer the exterior and interior of the S. IMO, the car is already spartan given the cost of the car so I wouldn't be happy with the single touch screen. And neck...

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    +1 I plastidipped HRE P40's and it looked pretty good for about 3 months but the it started to peel in some areas. Because of all the different contours, I wasn't able to remove it easily and in the end, had to send them back to HRE for a professional sand blast and refinish....

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    charged to 100% once and only got 300miles but drove it immediately after it finished charging. Maybe I should allow it to stay there for an hour or two before I disconnect to allow it to balance the cells? I've read different opinions about balancing (occurs after 93% SOC v. BMS does it...

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    As the title states, I’m disappointed that after 18k miles, my car already has 5.5 % degradation. When it was new, charging to 70% was 220 or 221 miles (about 315 at 100 %) Now I’m only getting 209 miles which would give me about 298 miles at 100%. Thought I was taking good care of the...

    Demo Purchase

    thanks, the "sticker price" was slightly misleading because MSRP on the performance either changed to 100k right around when I purchased the car so the savings was more like 17k but that's still a big chunk of change.

    Model S Dual Chargers, what do I need to do?

    IMO, is it cool to have 80A? yes. Is it necessary? Probably not for most people. So if there was a big delta in the pricing, might not be worth it (ie getting gouged with the Gen2, long runs etc). In my situation, my run from the breaker box was 3 feet and the Gen3 didn't exist so the...
