The car will only draw the amount of current that it supports. No need to manually change anything.

You caught that, eh? LOL

Ah ok...didn't notice the lack of "D".

Would they allow you to do the Ludicrous upgrade if you wanted to?

Well surprisingly, I got a call yesterday that the battery pack, new drive unit, and new rear tires were installed and ready to go. I asked about the battery pack that was installed when I got there. It turns out, they installed a loaner battery and sent mine in for re-manufacture. They said...

My 2014 P85D is in the shop now to get a new battery pack and drive unit installed. Any idea if it will be a 90kW pack? That would be amazing. They said it was being shipped from Washington and would be here tomorrow or Wednesday. The drive unit will be in Thursday or Friday.

Well it happened again last night. First time driving it since stalled the night before. Didn't even get off my street and the car stalled and all the gear indicator letters went red. It took a few seconds longer before it would go back into gear and drive this time, but I took it back home...

I just called the service center and they said that was all most likely tied to the battery pack failure, because the car was doing a HVIL (Hi Voltage Interlock Loop) check between the HV battery, battery heater, DU, etc, and found a problem and shut down. Since it started right back up and...

I got the red PRND today a block from my house. Pulled off to the side of the road, put it in park and back into drive and drove home without issue. I've been getting the "car needs service. May not restart" intermittently for the past week. Today I got a message when I got in at home that...

I haven't heard or seen anything since I placed the order online. Meanwhile, immediately after I ordered the tire bags two days ago, I got an order confirmation email that said I would get another email when the bags ship.

I just dropped the $2500 yesterday for my wife's RWD MS since it's her daily driver. I'm just leaving the factory set on my AWD MS cause the $2500 hurts bad enough. Maybe I'll get another set next year for my car. I still have a 4WD Explorer to drive in the winter to get to work. I did my...

Both mine and my wife's MS have a slight shudder under hard acceleration at highway speeds. I assumed it was normal.

We have 2 MS The lease on my wife's 2014 Lincoln MKZ ended in July. We got her a CPO 2013 P85+ I liked it so much, I sold my 2016 Mustang GT convertible to buy a CPO 2014 P85D. I work at Ford, so I choose to drive an ICE car to work daily, rather than risk my precious Tesla being vandalized in...

There is something to this...maybe run it down low also. When mine died, it said 100% was 305 miles on a P85D...about 15 miles higher than I expected. After it died, 100% is now closer to 290 miles. I think the battery lost it's charge reference point sometime before it died.

The roadside assistant told me her supervisor said in older models to give a 20 mile cushion when the range gets low. I told her I don't buy it because my wife's is a year older and has gone into the single digits a few times with no problem.

Oh, the next day I got the 12V power low warning. My SC changed out the 12V battery and the battery coolant heater. No problems since. And I thought I was fine with 14 miles left because we've run my wife's MS down to the single digits a few times with no problem.

I ran out of juice a half mile from the Des Moines supercharger and showed 14 miles of range remaining. This was two weeks ago.

Hello, from KCMO. I recognized the pic in your profile. My wife's 2013 has two catches or hooks on her frunk. My 2014 only has one.

I think with all these free speed upgrades and "uncorkings" they are doing for the other models, the least they could do is bring back the luda upgrade for us. Someone tweet Elon!!! :rolleyes:

Awesome! Congrats! So what is your verdict? Is there a noticeable difference, or have you had a chance to play with it yet? You're probably already covered in snow up there. lol

I would like to know this as well. Can we crawl under the car to find a PN for our DU?

Our electric bill this month is $157. That's with two Model S in the garage, charging nightly in a 4000 sq ft house with 3 people. My wife drives hers 40-50 miles a day M-F for work and mine is used for M-F evening errands and all weekend outings. Before the Tesla, my wife would spend over...

We bought two CPO Model S...both took 7 weeks for delivery. Both were reconditioned to nearly perfect condition inside and out. Both have 3G and it's rarely/never not been fast enough. Still thinking about upgrading to LTE in mine just to see if there is a noticeable difference.

Try to get in the front of the group so you can get a seat in the front of the trolley. I was in the very back and could barely hear anything the guide was saying. You don't get to wander or takes pics/videos. I work in a Ford plant. Pretty much looks the same, just cleaner.

Hell, I'd be ecstatic if they would just let me get the ludicrous upgrade on my CPO P85D...I'd even pay for it!

My wife had this happen at the day care in the morning. She called me at work in a panic because she was on her way to work. She was two blocks from our house where my key was. I used my iPhone app to unlock her car from work.

In most cases, that would be true, but in this scenario, it's like the guy was just trying to lighten their load for the day. One of those "you had to be there" things to understand my point of view. Also, I had a few beers in me at the time of posting and was still a bit pissed about the...

Wife took the car into the SC today and they found a nail on the inner sidewall that I couldn't see. Obviously not repairable, but they replaced the tire with free labor and 30% off the price of the tire since they were only 2 months old. Had her out the door in no time. Love the customer...

Good to know for the future. I really prefer to go to Discount Tire, but they are closed on Sunday. After calling the SC this morning, I told the wife to just take it there today and they would have it fixed within 30 minutes or give her a loaner. It's only 15 minutes away and I feel much...

Do you have a list of places that can lift a Model S? Or should I just take it to the service center?

Thanks for your input. Do you have anything helpful to say or just want to criticize? Trust me...they have always been dicks when I go there. Not like Discount where they have positive attitudes and greet customers with a smile. NTB has always acted like I'm inconveniencing them by walking...

Got a slow leak in the left rear tire of wife's P85+. Took the car to NTB and they said two hour wait. Came back two hours later, gave them the keys and asked if they know how to drive and work on a Tesla. Supervisor said one of his guys does. I wasn't so confident. 20 minutes later he came...

Blue one is Maxine (In English the meaning of the name Maxine is: The greatest. Feminine of Max.) White one is Metroid (The name is a portmanteau of the words "metro" (as in rapid transit) and android)

Awesome! Are you the original owner or was it a CPO unit?

Oh, I don't have one of those. Mine was replaced during the CPO process.

How do you know the revision number?

78K miles. No ludicrous.

I did ask, two different SC. They both said no longer available Oh, gotcha...I didn't see the underline. :)

What is the "milling sound?" My CPO P85+ got a new DU installed before I took delivery ~3000 miles ago. Cruising at highway speeds, I can hear a sort of oscillating drone sound but I can't tell where it's coming from. Sounds like the front of the car though. It's a very faint sound so I...

I got my high mileage CPO 2014 P85D for $66k. I had to jump on it...haven't seen one less than $76k yet.

Huh?

This is good info for me, as my wife has a 2013 P85+ and I recently ordered a 2014 P85D for myself. Wish I could get the L upgrade but apparently that is no longer an option. :(

What??? Tell them I'll take your upgrade package! lol You are so lucky to still have the option. Yes, mine is also a "unicorn" as you call it. I wanted it to be a P85DL+ as well. :)

Nashville SC said no longer available. Damn. I hope they bring it back again sometime.

I haven't gotten any updates since the last post. I'm going to ask the Nashville SC where I'm picking up the car to see if they say something different than the KC SC. I'll let you know.

My delivery specialist and service center in KC are telling me it is no longer available and hasn't been since 2015. Now what? Go to a different service center?

Thanks P85DEE. I called my SC and they said they could do it before or after I take delivery. $5000 does sound like a bargain considering I thought I read someone said it was $10K and another said it was $7500. I'm definitely very very tempted.

:(

I'm torn between keeping my '16 Mustang GT convertible or selling it. The mustang used to be the fun car to drive if we went out, but now it's her P85+. I can't wait to get off work just so I can drive her car somewhere...anywhere! I enjoy it so much that I just put the deposit on a CPO P85D...
