    Should my 2015 Model S 85D 12 volt battery be cycling between charging and discharging every minute?

    Something doesn't seem right with how often the 12 volt battery is cycling between charging and discharging and I'm trying to ensure if there's something wrong it doesn't cause a larger issue in the future from so frequent cycling. I am not sure when this cycling began but I don't recall it...

    I own both a Nissan LEAF and a Tesla Model S. The LEAF's included charger is only for a standard 15 amp 120 volt outlet, so I wanted a level 2 charger in my garage that could charge the LEAF faster AND also be able to charge my Tesla as quickly as possible within reason. The solution I purchased...

    Power Consumption of Camp Mode

    I just wanted to briefly share a couple experiences I've had camping in my 2015 Tesla Model S 85D. Back in February 2020 I went out into the mountains with my 5 year old daughter to test it out on the coldest night in the 10 day forecast. We drove until the road hadn't had the snow plowed off...
