So it’s generally known that high temperatures can drastically reduce a rechargeable battery’s “max cycle” count. With the recent heat wave and temps easily exceeding 110 F continuously for over three weeks (and more to come), is there any reason to be optimistic that the powerwalls installed...

More zoom causes more data download?

I was not even aware that the model S has a phone key. Are you sure you are not getting that option because you may also be owning a 3/Y ?

Why did Tesla decide to not make this available to all the pre 2021 refresh Model S/X ? At least to those with MCU 2 and FSD computer 3.0??? Is it because they are some of the initial Tesla owners and the ones with lifetime premium connectivity?

Good to know you can do without the KW markings. For many others, there is a life between 0 and 100 though!

Imagine a tachometer in an ICE without the rpm markings’

Since the refresh MS does not have an energy graph, they are making the graph less useful on the older cars to avoid the refresh models from appearing feature gimped.

Thank you both! Whew!

2017 Model S here. Please see the attached picture to understand what I’m talking about. The numbers indicating the power have vanished.l from that gauge. This happened recently. Perhaps after a software update. I did upgrade my MCU a month back but the problem was not there at that time after...

Can someone please point out where in the warranty is it mentioned that NVH issues would only be covered for the first 12,000 miles? I read through the warranty and don’t see that. I have a 2017 Model S. Did they introduce this change after 2017? If so, should the original warranty, during...

I’m in a similar boat. I’ve gone through this entire thread and also got a good feel for those who are and aren’t in favor of Tesla ripping off their customers by charging this fees. To them, unless they are posturing, I have one message - don’t be a doormat- demand more in life and stand up...

Oh wow. I did not realize that. Thanks!

Can you clarify what you mean by come with HW 3.0 FSD? I have a late 2017 S (AP 2.5) and don’t think it has the HW 3.0 FSD.. I believe if I pay $5000 for the FSD upgrade then Tesla would upgrade my FSD computer to 3.0. Is that not right?

How many tons are the two ACs and what are their seer ratings? How many kw is your solar panel? Assuming your total tonnage is about 7 and you have a relatively modern AC, when the AC runs you may consume about 8KW of power. If you pre cool the home before peak hours and bump the temperature up...

Has anyone placed powerwalls inside their homes? Per Tesla if these are installed in environment where average temps are higher than 86 degrees then it could affect longevity and performance. Problem is that since these are relatively new, we still won’t have data wrt longevity while placed...

What’s 401K?

Incorrect information can be more dangerous than no information. The idea you got from this video may be incorrect.

The “other thread” is 404.

That test is the perfect example of pseudoscience.

Apologize I lost patience reading through 64 pages, but do we know if heated steering wheel is there in the 2021 models? If yes, is it there in the standard range plus model too?

EV credit is going to help the car manufacturer, not you. If the credit is restored, the car cost would simply be increased, so at the end it is the manufacturer who benefits.

Can this be upgraded with mobile service or do you need to visit a service center? If the latter, I need to wait for at least a year till covid goes away.

It happened to me for the first time too recently.

And how soon after battery day?

Tried to use ABRP. The interface on the iOS app sucks really back.

Hi! I’m in AZ with SRP utility. Thinking of adding solar panels and need some advice. home has 2 AC units that combined consume about 9.5KW of power. I’m thinking of getting the 12.2KW panel (“large”). What baffles me is why does Tesla advertise these panels with a daily energy production of...

So if I drive down to OC from with my 2017 Model S, how long would it take Tony to remove and replace the eMMC? I don’t see any issues yet, but just planning ahead to get it replaced preemptively. Also, once work is done by Tony, would the car be back to normal again or would I need to complete...

Waiting for aftermarket fm/am radio car powered kits to show up.

To me there is no point spending $3K more when the MCU is old. If Tesla can offer a combined package to upgrade both MCU and a the FSD, then it might make sense to dump more money into a car that has already seen 40% of its life (with me).

One assumption that I think you are making is that the system is trying to write the data at the same rate at which it is being generated. In that case, obviously if you are generating 1.8GB of data(video) per hour, which is approximately 0.5MB/s, then you will end up writing at the same speed...

Auto fan speed without ac does not makes sense as the fan will not lower cabin temperature without the ac compressor running.

I’ve disabled my WiFi hoping that would ensure that I don’t get v9- at least till Tesla fixes this design mess.

Actually, one more question; if I disable WiFi on my car, does that assure that I will not get the new v9 software?

A few questions about v9 on MS: 1) When you bring up an app as an overlay(half screen) does the map readjust to center the current position of your car around the remaining part of the map’s screen? If not, the map would become practically unusable when another app is overlaying it. It would...

Don’t you get exact same looking ones from eBay for $150?

Uncorked? 0 to 60 in ...?

Not a lawyer, but painting calipers can slow down heat dissipation slightly and could hence lead to failure. The warranty for the calipers could be definitely compromised, but obviously not for other parts like AC.

With the new maps, in night mode, the background is somewhat black-green color and the fonts for the road names are not white but instead some light gray color. There is hardly any contrast and it is next to impossible to read the road names in just a glance. To make things worse I feel the font...

I was referring to max acceleration. I suspect you would need much lesser than 275kw to travel at 100mph. However, with more max power you have faster acceleration, e.g. faster 65 to 85mph.

I have a factory uncorked 75. While the max power below 60 mph is close to 320KW, at higher speeds the power is significantly lesser. For e.g. max power at 75mph starts at the moment when the pedal is floored and in about a second, the power has reduced from about 300KW to 275KW. And it will...

Ask it in writing. ( email)

4.3s is accurate

If the stock market keeps going at the current rate, paying $250000 now for the founders edition is like paying $400000 if you paid in 2020 when you eventually pick it up!!

Did you post your powertools measurement?

Wow! The 100d was barely visible at the end of the race. Crazy!

If your RWD was built after June 19th, you should have the upgraded performance.

No I did not check the tires. The car had 200 miles on it though.

got a 100D loaner. Did "feel" a tad faster than the 75 RWD - however what was unnerving was the immense torque steer that would pull the steering wheel to one side under rapid acceleration. I did not expect it the first time and the car almost started going sideways! Wonder if the P100D has this...

Take a fully charged 12v tesla battery and make it power the seats up/down by 2" with a 150lbs weight on the seat. How many up/down cycles would the battery last assuming the battery is not charging?

Tesla recently released this new Easy Entry feature. While I like it and would like to keep it on, it would mean the seats move back and forth every time I sit in the car which is about 1000 to 1500 times in a year. I was wondering if anyone had more information or ideas around whether this...
