    Faulty door handles

    The 2016 Model S has a design flaw in the early delivery prior to the upgrade. The pre-multiple cameras Model S before Oct 2016 had a wiring harness that passed over the inner handle extender for the handle to present. It will present but the mechanism to open shorts out. A design change was...

    Supercharger - Milford, CT - Boston Post Road

    I was at this supercharger last night at about 10:30 pm and I think I dropped my Tesla Fob and a money clip with PJS engraved. It was the middle charger of the line. If anyone finds it I would appreciate it Paul J Schubert 155 Sohier Street Cohasset ma 339-499-8624c#

    Why is Autopilot always trying to Kill me?

    70,000 Mi on a Model S 2016 about 1/2 on interstate highways, and those two locations I would NOT use autopilot. The lanes are not clear and not a divided highway with road markings very suspect. I take control with construction, new line painting, tight left or right Jersey barriers or complex...

    New to Tesla: Distance added per hour of Destination Charge - kW, MPH, Amps, etc

    If you need 150 miles which will likely get you to a supercharger then: 110v 4 miles /hr 220v 18-24 m/hr Level2 charger 28 m/hr Tesla wall charger (destination charger) 36-42m/hr depending on amps. So overnight full battery unless it’s a 110 A charger. I do look for Tesla destination chargers...

    Is 48k a good price for a ‘16 75D with ext warr?

    I have same options except white with sun roof and leather seats. Check on month of build as the later 2016 use AP2. Mine was June build and it’s AP1.I would say good deal as long as no accidents.

    Near freeway divider collision - on autopilot

    In other words, take control when quick merge or road divides or if construction is present and there are no clear lines to follow. You will see the same problem with restriping of the road. You may not have hit it but at that speed to find the proper lane timing wise you might worry and brake...

    Near freeway divider collision - on autopilot

    Don't use auto pilot when lines are present with jersey barriers. It does not sense the jersey barrierrs when the roads split. The same applies when left passing lane jersey barriers are present. Autopilot may side swipe them if the lines disappear or the road splits.

    75D battery degradation

    Latest update installed in a 2016 refreshed Model S 75D, 251 mi on full charge down from when new 256 mi. No change with update. 59,000 miles and decline steady since new.

    Planning to only use 110 outlet

    I upgraded to a HPWC, but I travel with the Model S all over so I did not want to be concerned about travel range. Yes, range anxiety. From my point of view the range anxiety has settled so upgrade if you run into problems. I recommend the wall charger but it will be $1000 to buy it and install it.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    Wind noise at 70+mph?

    I have a 2016 Model S and every once in a while this occurs. I clean with soap and water and massage the rubber seal with my hands to make them more flexible and seal better. Call me crazy, but it seems to work. Cheap fix if it works

    Autopilot disengagement, driving etc. out of main.

    On the highway and even local roads no closer than 4. Only because it scares the heck out of the passengers. The drafting helps the range by 15-20% though.

    A Tesla Nerd's Road Trip

    I agree with the supercharger network. I have a Model S 55 K miles and done the Boston/DC x 3 a trip Boston Orlando X 1. We did the college drop off of an entire dorm room x 3 with one child and x 4 with the second, plenty of room. The SC network is underappreciated, as is the autopilot. After...

    Arachnids, unstaggered to staggered, alignment, winter-to-summer and back...

    I live in New England and have new arachnid referral tires for a 2016 Model S. Does anyone have recommendations as to when timing of when to change out winter tires? March / April?

    Supercharger - National Harbor, MD

    I’m heading to DC in March and national harbor is a S.C. I may use. Do they allow Tesla complimentary parking if only charging or do they charge the 5 bucks?

    Model 3 Accident, Is this car really safe to drive?

    Was autopilot on? Most likely toe crash was not fast enough in the deceleration on impact to activate airbag. One aspect is rate of deceleration of the car to fire off the airbag.

    Heating system has stopped functioning

    My Model S had aircon and heat problems that were in extreme heat and cold fixed by using phone app to start the heat and A/C. Once the extreme heat (usually when it happened) passed it was fine. The heat same thing. I'm waiting for the deep freeze to hit to see if it returns.

    Stock breakpads, anyone had to replace yet?

    Try a so called braking Friday by shutting off regenerated braking or to the lowest level once a week it will sand down the thin layer of rust that builds up on the rotors because they are not used enough. If that doesn't fix it look at pads and rotors.

    What should be 80% SOC is only 68%

    Charge to 100% and see what the battery says may be the temperature or the SOC is causing it to be off. I usually charge at home to 90 % and 2+ y later only down 1.5%.

    Just left the Dedham MA SC - People were loosing their *$@t

    Dedham is where I go for any service, and they are great. Remember that like any tech device it may take a while to master all the options and functions. It took me about a year before I could quickly find everything in the Model S I have . The service people may not be driving that 600 mi trip...

    automated emergency braking

    Ice will do it as well or leaf stuck to sensor. I had a big bug strike do the same thing. In the winter I do a walk around with a can of deicing spray.

    Range Mode

    Our MS 75D Boston to Orlando Xmas time trip started at 12* F to 76*F in Orlando. 310 w/mi average for the trip there and back We did use the range mode early on and seemed to lengthen your SC time so we shut it off after 2SC Stops It was 32* by then. Best response to range through the the...

    Where do you charge your Tesla Model S?

    95% charge at home with HPWC installed when I bought the Model S. Superchargers for long trips, like the Xmas road trip from Boston to Orlando.

    How often do Tesla owners run out of charge?

    Florida road trip down to 21 miles after battery cooled down overnight. At SC with 14. Lots of sockets where I was staying but cable would not let me charge. I had to dial down amps to 8 amps after I figured it out it would charge. Also road trip to Troy NY with college tour in winter had 21 mi...

    Supercharger - Florence, SC

    Just stopped here. All stalls taken, 1 Tesla 16 ICEd one ICE double parked so squeezed in waited for an ICEd spot to leave repacked and had over 300 mi/hr. Quite annoying when one is at 10%.
