    Late 2016 / Early 2017 S Owners: How Are Your Daytime Running Lights Holding Up?

    What firmware version are you on? I know the firmware version makes a difference. On some older versions, Range Mode was an effective way to keep the DRLs off. Other versions, like 2021.24.28 (part of the v10 family, not part of v11 which has the app dock), Range Mode no longer turns off the...

    Vendor Xcelerate XCare EV Protection compared to Tesla ESA

    The XCare website (EV Extended Warranty | Xcelerate Auto - xcelerateauto.com ) says this about the premium plan: "Works around Tesla Service Accepted by Electrified Garage Accepted by any ASE licensed mechanic" Is it possible to get needed service done by @wk057 (057 Technology ) in NC under...

    Vendor Xcelerate XCare EV Protection compared to Tesla ESA

    In case of an overlapping coverage period, has XCare considered making the plans seamlessly start upon the expiration of the factory warranty? The plan could then run a fixed exact number of purchased number of years or miles afterwards, instead of starting at the purchase date/mileage. [Ideally...

    Unlimited supercharging transfer process when purchased thru dealer?

    This comes partially from Tesla not being clear about certain policies, from Tesla changing policies, and from ambiguity on how dealers obtain used cars. Dealers can buy cars direct from private owners, but they also buy cars from auto auctions. Auto auctions are a way that businesses (like...

    Vendor Xcelerate XCare EV Protection compared to Tesla ESA

    @XCare EV: 1.) When I tried the XCare cost calculator...I saw that if I want the longest battery/DU coverage term, I will need to buy the Battery/DU-only plan, not the Premium plan, as the maximum length can be different depending on plan type. There isn't a way to separately select coverage...

    '15 70D: End of Warranty Questions to Ask

    To be clear, it doesn't apply to cars with small rear drive units like the 70D/75D/85D/90D/100D, which means the non-performance dual motor legacy Model S/X like you both have. Performance (RWD and dual motor) and non-performance (RWD) legacy Model S/X are at risk. Your cars are probably late...

    2012 Tesla Model S P85 - the dreaded HV battery problem

    This is not an original combination of year and capacity. 100s were first available in summer 2016 in the P100D. As a 2015, this one pre-dates that, and the MCU photo shows P85D badging. I am somewhat surprised the Tesla Mobile Service badging was left on the car. My guess is it was crashed...

    One month old MYSR (4680) received dreaded 'maximum charge level and range may be reduced' error yesterday

    To this point, I suggest making sure the car is empty of any personal items before going to service. Part of the interior (seats, etc.) are attached to the battery and will need to be moved to the replacement unit. As for new customers: I do not yet see a reason for customers to want to select...

    057 Technology extended service plan

    I may have useful analogy for understanding how modules that have lived different lives could have some of their parameters (like kWh in/out or CAC) match while other parameters are different: Take two buckets (or tubs, or dams with reservoirs), fill them with very hard water or muddy water...

    Sat for 40 min at 0kw supercharging

    Just as a comparison data point of observed behavior when DC fast charging cold lithium batteries: a 2012 Nissan Leaf with a cold soaked battery maxes out at L2 charge rates when connected to a 50 kW DC Chademo L3 charger, at least until the battery warms up. In the deep cold, L2 rates may not...

    Subsidies are disappearing, says NYT

    When the Mall of America was built, it didn't have a heating system. It only had a cooling system. The waste heat from lighting, appliances, and people is enough to keep it warm all year. Each person counts for about 75-100 watts (at a rate of 1800-2400 Calories per day). mall of america heating...

    Subsidies are disappearing, says NYT

    As Az_Rael mentioned, it is possible to have a refund mechanism to account for out-of-state miles. It's also possible to set up self-reporting as an option (with a refund mechanism), and in parallel, have an option for an automatic GPS-based system for who want the convenience in spite of the...

    Subsidies are disappearing, says NYT

    Road damage can be modeled by miles and weight. Weight plays such a large contribution that a very significant portion of road damage comes from the heaviest vehicles like buses and large trucks (20000 to 80000 lbs). The approximation is to the 4th power...i.e. doubling axle weight equates to...

    Model S 90D order with FUSC/EAP/FSD - anyone interested in a takeover?

    I would consider it. My hope is to recover my deposit, whether that's with or without the car. I think the best deal would be to take the car but if I can recover the deposit via the reservations...I would consider that too.

    Model S 90D order with FUSC/EAP/FSD - anyone interested in a takeover?

    Hello, I have a confirmed order for a new Model S 90D with FUSC/EAP/FSD. This is one of the few AP 2.0 cars with Free Unlimited Supercharging access (assuming you take delivery in time). The car was just built a few days ago but has not been delivered yet to the local service center. Since...
