    Inaccurate Tire Pressure Readings

    So my $3.95 digital gauge came in and I tried it on the Model S. It reads within 1/2 psi of what the car reports, so my old stick gauge was reading high by about 3 psi. After airing up the tires to 41 and driving for an hour or so the low-tire alert went away. My wife already thinks the ride is...

    NEW EAP Trial

    I'm on 42.2. Got the trial on 11/5 and enabled it but haven't activated anything yet. Waiting for the weekend to try it out.

    How much do you pay for electricity?

    In Scottsdale, AZ I pay 2.6 cents per kWh off-peak (7pm to noon the next day) and 22 cents on-peak. But I never buy on-peak because I have 9.7kW of solar panels on the roof. Excess kWh are "banked" with the utility until the end of the year, then I get a credit that usually means $0 electric...

    Inaccurate Tire Pressure Readings

    I used two of the stick type, one of which (plastic) read waaaay high, so I tossed it. The other is metal and is my old reliable, but I'm tossing it, too in favor of getting a new one. After reading a bunch of reviews of types and brands, I just ordered a digital gauge from Amazon. I also have a...

    Inaccurate Tire Pressure Readings

    Thanks, I'll try that in the morning after inflating to 45 while they're cold. Last night I did do the TPMS reset (ignoring the warning) but it made matters worse, lowering two of the other tire pressures to below 40. But they weren't cold and I had not added any air. Now it says I have three...

    Inaccurate Tire Pressure Readings

    My 2018 Model S came up with a low tire pressure warning yesterday, showing three tires at 40 psi and one at 38. I checked all four and found that the three reporting at 40 were actually at 44, and the one reporting 38 was at 43. I used two different tire gauges when I measured. So is there a...

    A Wh/Mile to Miles/kWh (or Wh/Km to Km/kWh) converter

    Slick, but he math is pretty easy. Divide 1 by your Wh/Mile with a decimal in front of it. 224 Wh/Mi >>> 1/.224 = 4.464 Mi/kWh

    How long one has to wait to get the V9?

    Driving the car to dinner on Friday must have done it, because Saturday morning the update was available. When I got in the car it said the update might take 1 hour 40 minutes but it only took about an hour. All went well, apparently.

    How long one has to wait to get the V9?

    Thanks for the tip. I suspected that might be the case, so I told my wife we're taking it out to dinner tonight. Well, OK, I suggested to my wife that we should take it out tonight. Let's see what happens overnight. Frankly I don't care what version it is, I just want to drive it. It's her car...

    How long one has to wait to get the V9?

    Our new (delivered Sept. 22) S 75D has been sitting in our WiFi-accessible garage since we brought it home. We haven't been driving it because... well that's another story. But I've been watching for the V9 update and it's not there yet. My theories include.... 1. They are pushing it out to...

    Newbie: What to order with wall charger.

    I'm preparing my garage for our Model S 75D, so I polled a few of my neighbors who have Teslas. They all just use the NEMA 14-50 with no wall charger and they say that works for them. My electrician is going to charge $250 to install a 14-50 outlet on a 50-amp circuit. My electric panel is full...

    What driving assists are available without EAP?

    I didn't include EAP on mine when I placed the order in July. Like others, I felt the $5k option was too much since I only really want TACC. I requested a late September delivery to coincide with my other car's lease ending, so I'm hoping that by then Tesla flips a switch and makes TACC...

    Premium Package now standard for all Model S

    Just ordered our 75D two weeks ago without the PUP. Kinda glad we did because the only feature we'd care about is the audio, and to us it's not worth the higher base price. We live in the desert, so heated whatever is of no interest, and we're not that picky about the air filtering. Maybe since...
