    I cant believe I did it!!!!!!!!

    Haha! I drove my neighbours' S one day and decided I had to have one! When I got my CPO P85D, I really had no idea of the wicked (insane) acceleration! I even took it our local 1/8 mile drags one time and when I was talking to techs and told them, they were all, "Awesome! Way to go man!" Try...

    Airflow through front grill questions

    The temperature here has just dropped to about 12c. At this point my regeneration is not as strong because of the cold battery. As far as I know, the cabin heat control is the only option. Does it preheat the battery as well? I do love one pedal driving!

    Creep Mode

    I love creep mode! Not sure why? It just seems comfortable/logical/user friendly. Is that just because of previous ICE vehicles? And I love the power/modulation control at extemely low speeds on steep hills with a stop sign. One pedal driving!

    Can my battery pack be damaged by low SOC?

    Sounds like your car is doing everything right. Permanent damage from one low SOC is probably not going to happen. Do it a lot? Well, that's just not good for any battery. So don't do it. Lots of threads on this. Just noticed you have a new Plaid! Nice!

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    I upgraded to MCU2 and hoped the USB might work properly. Nope . Same as before. Everything else is great but, USB blues.

    What Acceleration Mode is everyone using?

    Insane for me. There is an Insane + but all it does is take forever to preheat the battery and use a lot of juice. Dragstrip is the only place that it could be useful. I did take it to the drags one time, but that was before I had the +.

    Pump Running While Connected to Wall Connector

    Tried it but I have the same settings in my app as in the car. Slide your finger and guess. Also found the a/c on this morning while sitting unplugged in the garage! I know I left it on when I got out of the car yesterday, but it turned off as it should. Weird. I'll try a reset.

    Pump Running While Connected to Wall Connector

    Thanks. That's good to know. I don't have Teslafi but I'll try the app.👍

    Pump Running While Connected to Wall Connector

    After 4 years charging on a 110v 15A circuit, I finally got 60 amps to a wall charger! I was charging to 75% to keep fans/pumps silent but changed it playing around with my new "Supercharger". My question is, why am I not able to select a percentage? I make a choice based on the visual pic that...

    Need your feed back

    Not sure if you're asking everyone, but my P85D does not make any noticeable sound. Something a bit loose/worn? Dunno. Good luck!

    Question on seats in "Raven" models

    I find my nextgen Recaro seats VERY comfortable. (For what it's worth.)

    So far so good MCU2 upgrade

    Same for me. Makes it like a new car! Plan on keeping my P85D for a while!

    What key/card to give shops doing a wrap or other maintenance?

    Valet mode locks the glove box, hides all contact info and puts it in kind of a "chill" mode. Also you can see exactly where your car is on your phone. And shops are getting to know them better.

    Weak Headlights: Fact or Fiction?

    Love my headlights! (12/15 P85D)

    Battery life changing at home

    Yeah, I think I can charge up to around 75% before all the pumps and fans start. Usually that's fine. I have mainly used a 15A/110V plug for nearly 4 years. Also have to prewarm here in cooler weather before you get any regen!

    Getting shocked every time I leave the car?

    I've been getting it too lately! Pretty sure it's only static but noticeable for sure! Never noticed it in the previous 3 winters. Oops! Model Y forum. :)

    What's the proper way to close the charge port door?

    I use the button on the charge handle to open and let it shut itself when I remove the cord. No need to be mucking with the fob.

    PSA: "Battery Coolant Heater" not included in battery warranty

    Yes it was a CPO that I paid way too much for in 2017! :D Came with 4 year (new) warranty, connected and supercharging free for life, new tires. Just brought it home from Tesla yesterday with everything functioning perfectly! Love my car! They were kind enough to give me a 70D loaner (on chill...

    PSA: "Battery Coolant Heater" not included in battery warranty

    Just replaced my coolant heater under warranty. 55,000 k, 2015 P85D. Took a week to get the part. Also, they checked each of my tires for wear and alignment which is odd because they sold and installed the tires 2 weeks ago! Now waiting for them to fix connectivity and maps. Could be MCU? First...

    3 Unintended Acceleration events when parking my Tesla S P in my garage.

    Yeah, no. Removing your foot from the accelerator is not good enough. Just like always, you have to step on the brake pedal. That's why it's there.

    Tire inflator Rec?

    I have the Tesla pump. It came in a great little package complete with an attached container of "leak repair goo". Pump works great but the "goo" started leaking out of its' container! Lucky I noticed it before it leaked into my trunk, as it must be some sort of glue. Good thing it was in a...

    UHFS is incredible

    Love my UHFS in my model S! Tesla doesn't do what other auto makers do which is to use a sound brand like "Bose" and have them design the sound system which may or may not have many of those higher priced components in it. And I believe the MS is referred to as a "performance sedan" as opposed...

    New 85kWH battery for my 2013 P85+

    I could be wrong, but I thought the performance MS required the 400 Volts. That's what I've got anyway.

    Seatbelt Warning with Backseat Dog Fix

    Interesting. Never thought about that. My golden is an English and only weighs about 60 pounds. He has never set off the alert. (And yeah, dog blanket for sure!) That long, pure white fur goes nicely with the black Alcantara!

    MS new owner question - battery %

    Welcome to Tesla! Hit the lightening bolt icon, upper-left of the main screen. Recommend you read up on your manual.

    7 years later what is your 100% on your 85kWh battery?

    December 2015 P85D still get about 400K. Well I don't but that's what a 100% charge shows.

    Can't stop charging via the Tesla mobile app

    Not sure you should be able to turn off charging. Assuming you are in a public charging station, just get in the car and exit the charging point so someone else can use it. If at home, you can set start/stop times in the app.

    Tesla Ring pic

    Except this is a Model S part of the forum. The S's handles automatically pop out as you approach so not sure what value this ring would be.

    Sudden Ludicrous Regen

    Sorry to hear of your pain! (Sorry. Had to! ) And no. Never heard of anything like that. A bit scary.

    AP1/MCU1 and Software V10

    It would be like a sauna in there if I let it preheat longer! Cabin heat works great! (Didn't think of fart mode) :)

    AP1/MCU1 and Software V10

    Argh! Preheated again yesterday 10/15 minutes while plugged in...but had NO regen! 5 full yellow dashes and no braking. :( It was 1 degree colder 4C, than the previous day. Regen returned after being on the highway for a few (7)? Minutes. About 80% SOC when I started. Car was toasty. Had the...

    AP1/MCU1 and Software V10

    As I don't know how to heat the battery by itself, I tried preheating the car yesterday. Drove away warm with no yellow dashes and regen felt perfect! It's about 5 C here so not warm. 12/2015 P85D. Hope this is the fix.

    Acceptable paint issue?

    So sorry! Definitely not acceptable! Tesla should have no problem fixing it. Congrats on the new S!

    Acceptable paint issue?

    That doesn't look good - assuming it's a new Model S?

    Has anyone else experienced intermitten regen braking this Winter?

    I get the yellow triangle at first as well. Regen ability is way down from last winter. I know it gets worse in colder temps but it used to warm up so much faster which is what allows the regen to work. Really changes an important function, (one pedal driving), that worked really well!

    How does the Model S perform in stop and go traffic

    You can set the distance auto pilot will follow at. My AP1/TACC works beautifully in very slow or stop and go slow traffic. 2015 P85D.

    2016 P100D Ludicrous Mode.

    In driving mode, what you see is what you get. Chill, sport, insane and insane+ are the same options as my P85D. If you bought it from Tesla just show them the tag and they'll fix you up. (And it's mighty fast without it!)
  40. Gridlok

    Promised single pedal driving, etc?

    I like it the way it is as well. Some other cars, (I have heard), are making you use the brake pedal for regen, then push more firmly for braking. Doesn't sound as easy to use for me.

    Top speed run report

    Interesting. Looks like fun. I don't know the top speed of my 2015 P85D but I hit close to 160Km/h yesterday coming home on the highway! (I really gotta stop doing that!) But I took it to our local 1/8 mile drags last year, was put in the "hot rod" class, and got 7.7 second runs pretty...

    Performance of 2016 90D verses P85D verses P90D

    I had my 2015 P85D in for some work and they gave me a 90D to drive. It was a courtesy car so I wasn't exactly screaming around in it but found a huge difference in acceleration! I think it was a 2016. I was glad to get my car back!

    Cleaning interior door panels. Dog drool stains.

    Beautiful dog! And yeah, same problem with my goldie. But he loves the Tesla!

    When do my brake lights come on?

    Agree it feels like G-force activated. If you have space, (which the driving conditions posted-do not,) you can manipulate the go-pedal to barely slow down without brake lights. It works great, just not suited that well for close, high speed, dangerous driving.
  45. Gridlok

    Just drove a loaner 2015 P85D (L?) today ..... OMG.........

    I was given an MS90D to drive when my P85D was in for service. It was a dog compared to my P85D!

    What's your 90%?

    I plug in almost daily to 85% via the 15A circuit in my garage. After 2 1/2 years, my range doesn't seem to have changed. About 400K on a full charge. 2015P85D ver.2019.32.2.1

    Hatch not "screwing" down.

    Thanks @JPP. Disappointing as I've never had it back to the service center in the two years I have owned it! Got a little road trip planned soon. Hope it doesn't screw up before I can get it in. LOVE that I haven't had any issues, (so far!)

    Hatch not "screwing" down.

    I should have said, "I can't HEAR the hatch tightening down like I used to. It seems to be tight - I can't lift it, but there is no motor/screwing sound at the end of closing like I used to hear. Searched but couldn't find it on TMC. Anyone have similar issues? 2015 MS P85D.

    Cabin Filter Mod (Pre-Facelift)

    I think cabin filters in most cars don't seal all that well. But I like your idea! :)
