    P85 modded to be a P85 w/Ludicrous

    Hewlett Packard sells very expensive HPC computers called Apollo 8000's that do just this. (It is hard to find technical docs or photos online (it's a modestly proprietary technology), but I've got some of these, and they work just fine. It allows them to put 70kW+ in a single IT rack, which...

    Did anyone else get the call: "Reaching out to early adopters"?

    Sadly, I got it, and it lowered my already tainted opinion of Tesla's business practices and level of concern for their customers. First off, I will state that I understand and appreciate the need for a company like Tesla to sell aggressively, including selling to the existing customer base...

    Using TM-Spy to see Model S data.

    This seems to be orderable only at quantities of 4000. ;-) I couldn't find a similar part in smaller quantities. Were you able to?

    charging slow at Superchargers

    I am still working with Tesla, trying to get this problem addressed. Any luck from anyone else? Also, to OP: You have great time resolution in your samples. How did you capture that data?

    charging slow at Superchargers

    I have a Model S Signature with 120k miles. My SuperCharging experience is just like the OP's: starting sometime recently, my SuperCharging rates changed just as shown in the OP.

    VisibleTesla

    I'm sorry you lost your data. I have several years of data saved with VT, across versions, with only the occasional gap. I think VT is a very stable and impressive application. I think if Tesla were more open about the API we could get more developers to work on and continue to support apps...

    Supercharger - Groveland, CA (7 V2 stalls)

    Another option: There is Tesla 80A charger at Evergreen Lodge, just outside the park near Mather, CA. Nice folks and great food. But it, too, could suffer from resource contention. P

    Supercharging experiences in Norcal this weekend. Is Tesla ready for primetime?

    The challenge of "peak use" or "peaking" is an interesting problem in engineering and economics, and it has been very heavily studied in academic circles. Engineers have encountered it almost all infrastructure: highways, the electrical grid, water supply networks, water resource systems...

    Anyone else ticked off the Model S has no spare tire?

    Thanks to everyone for all the helpful feedback, and for the pointers to other posts on the subject (especially the one referenced by Canuck, above). I can summarize much of it with the following: 1. Forum members have a wide range of experience with frequency of flats, due not only to the...

    Anyone else ticked off the Model S has no spare tire?

    Sitting on the side of the road, waiting for a tire service truck to bring me a replacement tire and wheel. So I have plenty of time to post this. :wink: I understand offering "full service" instead of a spare is nice for some people. But most of us can change our own damn tire. If we had...

    VisibleTesla

    In the older versions of VT, I was able to parse the collected data fairly easily. In the newer version, it's not clear how to get the timestamps from the data file written by VT. I know I can export the data, but that requires using the VT GUI, and I have some tools for graphing the collected...

    VisibleTesla

    That did the trick. It now builds fine with the newer/newest version of the various ThirdParty bits. Thanks, Joe. - - - Updated - - - FWIW, I have for the last few weeks seen considerable stability in the Tesla servers when used with VT. Not sure why. Could be that I'm one of the few folks...

    VisibleTesla

    How'd you get past the jfxtras error? I haven't found a source that worked. Where did you find one? And, if you _do_ get this all to work, it'd be great if you would describe how, or put your build scripts somewhere. Thanks.

    VisibleTesla

    I had the same problem. It seems the file is corrupted in a way that prevents VT from doing a proper export. So the following Perl will convert the file to something more readable. #!/usr/bin/perl while (<STDIN>) { $_ =~ /^(\d+)(.*)/; my ($ts, $rest) = ($1, $2); while...

    Just got my second _replacement_ battery - some graphs showing my degradation trends

    My battery was around 2miles/percent (i.e., just 200 miles range on a full charge) before it failed, and after it had degraded. I'm back to around 2.4 with my new battery. I _wish_ I was getting the 2.6 you get. Remember that all three of my batteries have been "A" models. Is yours perhaps a...

    Just got my second _replacement_ battery - some graphs showing my degradation trends

    Yes, VisibleTesla stores the data it collects. It's relatively easy to write a script to extract that data into a CSV, and from there you can manipulate and plot it.

    Just got my second _replacement_ battery - some graphs showing my degradation trends

    I'm sure you are correct, apacheguy - I could have continued to argue that I deserved a newer model battery and my car would accept it. But I wanted my car back rather than holding out while I argued up the management chain that I deserved a newer battery. Maybe I should have tried. I...

    Just got my second _replacement_ battery - some graphs showing my degradation trends

    The car has 55k miles on it now, added more or less linearly during the 23 months. I haven't kept a log of mileage vs date, and I don't think VT has kept one. Yes, I made the point with the SC that if the battery does not charge and store like a D battery, then it's not "all newest...

    Just got my second _replacement_ battery - some graphs showing my degradation trends

    VisibleTesla is cool. Among the other useful things it does is capture data for graphing. It also saves it in a parseable log. (Thanks, Joe.) Even though I don't have VT running all the time, it has been running enough since the beginning of the year to produce useful plots of long term...

    Model S REST API

    Impressive. And fun. Care to share the code or create and Open Source project somewhere?

    Charge required to climb 1000 feet

    You neglected efficiency. Figure the output is about 90% efficient (hopefully). So you will at most get .9 of this figure, or about 2 kWhr per thousand feet, which is about 7 range miles per thousand feet of climb. Other folks have measured something closer to 12 range miles per thousand.

    Harris Ranch Superchargers and Supercharging Software Update

    Those superchargers are marked with "120", presumably 120kW. Did you notice the charging rate? Was it higher than "normal" superchargers?

    Speculation about the Opportunity Console

    The most important thing is that my beverage be easily accessible. The current cup holders are a joke - if you use the armrest, the cup would be behind your wrist. Try reaching for that 15 times an hour.
