    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...

    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...

    Mileage hit not as bad as I expected changing from 19's to 21's

    Pleasantly surprised that my efficiency is not that much worse going form 19 in to 21 in. Over 4000 miles I was averaging 364 wh/mi on the 19 in slipstreams with the 245/45/19 tires. With 1000 miles on the staggered 21's I'm getting 277 wh/mi wrapped with 245/35/21 and 285/30/21 Pilot Super...

    Would it be possible for Tesla to make a MS/MX into a intermittent "Powerwall"

    I was wondering if if would be possible for Tesla to create some sort of modified HPWC which would allow for bi directional flow of current with the intent of turning our cars into "mini" power walls without incurring the cost of a power wall since the battery is the most expensive part. I've...

    Hi, I'm getting some new wheels for my car and the installer said that he's having trouble getting in touch with Tesla (surprise surprise, they won't answer the phone). Anyway, I'd prefer Tesla TPMS but I'm wondering if ordering Tirerack TPMS would be adequate. Any issues associated with...

    If I Change My 19's To 21's, Do I Need To Have Tesla "recalibrate The Firmware"?

    Hi I'm getting my 21 in wheels so and I saw on the unplugged website that if you use their lowering kit that you must have the "Tesla 21" wheel/tire calibration". So what I'm wondering is what is the calibration and do I need it if I get new 21" wheels, regardless of whether or not I use the...

    Will Tesla Refuse To Jack Up Car With Aftermarket Wheels?

    I'm in the process of getting some new wheels for my car and I seem to recall reading somewhere that Tesla will refuse to jack up cars that have aftermarket wheels and therefore it was recommended to keep the OEMs in case the car needed to be put on a lift? Is this true or even possible??

    Is it beneficial to periodically charge to 100% SOC

    Hi, I've seen in random threads that occasionally owners will have what appears to be premature degradation and some people will often suggest doing a "deep charge", ie deplete the battery to 5-10% and then L2 charge the battery to 100%. So my question is to optimally maintain battery health...

    What size circuit should I use for Tesla HPWC?

    Hi, I'm in the process of getting a Tesla HPWC installed and I was looking at the recommended circuits and for the P100D it recommends a 60 A circuit? My car has the 72A charger so I was thinking that a 90A circuit breaker would allow me to charge at 72A. A 60A breaker would only allow me to...

    Hi I'm contemplating a facelift 2016 P90DL and wanted to know what the going prices are with low miles (under 30k). Can they be had under 70k? or is 72-78k more typical? Do you think that these cars will continue to depreciate sharply? Looks like the depreciation is 1k/mo?? Thanks in advance.
