    2014 P85 HV failure.

    I know there are enough threads about this already but wanted to start one on my particular case. 11/29/22 warranty expired, 1/20/23 car lost traction motor power on way to work briefly saying pack was at 0miles, then began working fine till 1/25/23. This morning when it went to charge it...

    Reminder to clean and lube brakes.

    2014 P85 with 101k. Green Bay WI area for climate reference, lots of salt. I disassembled and lubricated brakes today. I will admit it had been a year and a half or so 18k miles. I replaced all the brakes including parking brake pads in the last couple years. Made a marked improvement in...

    P85 rear air springs

    For awhile now I have noticed the car sagging in the rear if parked overnight or longer. Recently it got bad enough I notice the compressor cycling a bit driving so I finally made an appointment. They sent a quote for $2200. Springs being $900 apiece. Anyone lucky enough to have them diagnose a...

    Northeast Wisconsin body shop?

    Anyone found one they like? Appleton area preferred. Nothing serious just kid that has been told a thousand times no bikes near cars.......she might forget her Ipad code by the time she gets it back. Is as deep and long as it looks, was darkish out so I haven't seen it in daylight but bet it...

    Maps not loaded

    So this morning when I got in my car it displayed an error about maps not loaded. Two reboots and still not working. Been weeks since I got an update so I don't think it is a big. More afraid this is the memory issue beginning. Anyone else seen this?

    All the "gates"

    I think most of us are aware of batterygate, and chargegate, and the changes to Regen this season. My opinion or theory on this is Tesla was being too aggressive with battery performance for years and are making changes to reign this back in. Using that as a starting point there are a few...

    2014 headlights

    Let's start with what the car is. 2014 P85 VIN in the 42,XXX range has parking sensors and the side lights as the steering wheel is turned so I believe this means tech package. I feel bulbs have probably improved a little in the last 5 years and 85K miles of use haven't helped them, want to...

    Sway bar bushings?

    Car is beyond the mileage warranty so no concerns there. Would like to consider some modest upgrades to reduce body roll, and frankly at 78K miles maybe mileage is just taking a toll on the original stock bushings. I haven't looked at the rear but it looks like the front frame mount bushings...

    Home charging setup, challenging conventional wisdom.

    I have a Model S but figured I would post here due to traffic. I see a lot of folks stress over the cost of big wire. Seems everyone recommends doing bare minimum wire size on a 14-50 install, well many people get free wall connectors later and a minor amount of extra cash now can let you...

    Wanted Model S 19" Slipstreams

    Either color, with or without tires considered. Upper Midwest preferred, near Green Bay willing to drive to Chicago or Minneapolis. Might consider turbines if the price is good enough.

    2014 P85 So last night I ran the car down to 1 mile ran the heat hard to drain it idea being run it down to charge it back up and see what the range is, thought it was pretty cool it told me I was almost too far from known charging locations:cool:. Well today I got the 12volt...

    Sighting in Hortonville

    I know it is a long shot but is the driver of the other white Tesla in Hortonville on this forum? I see other Teslas in Appleton ever other week or so but first I have seen one other than mine passing thru this little town Long as I am starting a very local thread thought I would mention...

    Anything going on in WI?

    Like the title asks. Bought my car last summer and met a few other owners at the EV show in Appleton but haven't seen other events, probably because I am one of the 6 people on the planet to have never joined Facebook.

    Explaining power delivery to auto enthusiasts.......

    I want to make sure I have my facts straight when discussing the car with other auto enthusiasts who have no EV knowledge. At one point I found info on the TQ/HP curve of the P85 and if I understand things right it makes peak torque everywhere below 42mph and then plateaus at peak HP till...

    Charging strategy in cold climate?

    I live near Green Bay, 2014 P85 charged at 24amps on 30amp circuit, parked outside and work is completely exposed to winds, commute is all of 7miles each way, sometimes a lunch trip or errands after work. I hate the way the car drives with Range Mode on in winter, the power limited and lack of...

    Rearview camera upgrade?

    I am sure I am just missing the search terms somehow. With the shorter days I am becoming aware that the rearview camera on my 2014 P85 is not great in the dark. I have cleaned it and rain treated it since water drips tend to obscure it. I have turned up info that the camera changed. Can the...
