Batteries

Has anyone else noticed a supercharge rate at or near 50 kW as a maximum lately? The car charged near 100 kW when I first got it but over the past 2-3 weeks I have have between 54 and 40 kW - tonight the battery was completely warm after driving 90 minutes and charging at 48 amps another hour...

I picked up my new model 3 a week ago and wanted to see what the maximum indicated range would be on a full charge. I was interested in seeing if the initial range would exceed 310 miles with a new battery. When I bought my model S in 2014, the battery would charge a little over the rated...

Maybe this is the right area to park my thoughts and encourage others to post theirs... I appreciate the people that come up to me and want to convince me that driving my Tesla Model S 85 is a bad idea. Buying a car can be an emotional experience, but for those looking to do a little more fact...

My Five-Year Model S Service History 2013 – Model S P85 - delivered in March HPWC (Tesla Wall Charger) in my home garage failed ranger came and replaced the HPWC fuses Pano roof chewed up its rails and would no longer open Service replaced the Pano roof Replacement Pano roof had wind noise...

A few weekends ago, I attended a party and I was explaining the feature of the car the capacity of the batteries and stuff. Then two days later, as I was driving in the "spring" like weather and I was enjoying the consumption being around 190-180, it made me wonder about the recent twitter...

How is rated range calculated? I’m sure this has been answered somewhere else within the forum, but I cannot find the answer. So I apologize for the redundance. I’ve called several SC’s and have received different answers than my local SC. The reason for the question is my rated range on...

I'm a Keen camper and need to upgrade my failing old deep cycle agm batteries. I was looking into equivalent lithium batteries and they're super expensive! It then occurred to me that I'm sitting on the biggest and best lithium battery in my car! Does anyone have any advice / approach /...

Hi folks, I configured in the batch of invites that went out on Feb 22 and I'm finally getting around to figuring out the charging solution at home. Got the first quote from a Tesla recommended electrician here in the Bay Area and looks like our electrical load is 69.5 Amps out of the available...

I know the difference is miniscule, but was just wondering why my HPWC on a 60 A breaker was only charging at 47A when it should be charging at 48A.

My wife got into an accident today and front end was smashed in. I went by wrecking yard and door handles are out but there is no power to open the doors. I called Tesla and they said to hook up a jumper to the front end- problem is there is not much left as the bumper is smashed into car and...

I have a question about the best strategy for home charging to prolong the battery life. Let me start with some presumptions to simplify the scenario: - for daily driving a max. of 80% charge - for daily driving a min. of 20% charge - presume I drive 20% of 100% charge everyday Therefore I can...

1. Why does supercharging show mi/hr estimate, but charging from a standard outlet or HPWC does not show this info? 2. Why can’t I select a higher charge current on some circuits? For example, I charge at work using an outdoor 110v that uses a 20A breaker, but I can only select up to 12A...

Newer member. I just got my VIN on a 75D Model S and had a question regarding traveling. Which, if any, extension cords do you bring with your Tesla when you travel? I am traveling to a friends house who lives in the country and no where near a super charger. What would you use to charge...

Just got back from a trip to Naples Fl from Chesapeake Va. Has anyone else had a problem finding where Superchargers are located in shopping centers etc? We get to a place then look for a supercharging station, no signs etc as to where they are. We often ask and sometimes we get lucky. Found...

Has anyone been able to get stall status updates via an app? I'd like to be able to check stall status without having to be in the car using the MCU. For example. Hey, the San Diego Charging Station is full, again, let me check back later.. Hmm, checking phone, says one stall is avail. LIES...

I'm curious about this buffer because the cars I've seen so far are always 4kWh (my X and bjorn's X P90D etc.) I just wonder if 75D is also 4kWh. Also, somebody said that the cells in the new 75D might be the same as the 100 packs but two modules less. If that is the case, then the full...

I am traveling to Silver Spring, Md this month, I am looking for Tesla Chargers or Hotels that have chargers on site.

Hi, I would like to know if someone make this upgrader and how much cost ? Thanks

Has anyone found a 12v ignition power source for either valentineone or blackvue ? I have only seen video hook directly to the 12v battery itself . Just wondering if anyone who has any information that can share. It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just curious of other owners of 85 pack model s range at full charge? Fully charged my 2012 MS with 82k for a trip and had 233 in the morning. Curious is this is within the range of what my battery at its age and miles should be getting. What are you getting?

I woke up in the morning and found my Model X lost 7.13 miles in a little over 10 hours of parking still. I have smart precondition turned off and energy saving mode is turned on. The weather last night was a mild 45F in Washington DC area. I don't remember seeing this amount of drain on...

i took pics but the phone is almost dead so i'll upload them tomorrow. but when i plugged in at Ft Wayne SC (with no other cars there) i was getting as little as 1 kW. it was reading "8 hours to charge". then it was jumping as high as 40kw. at that point it read 1 hour 50 min to charge, and...

to all the long island owners, how much has the model s added to your pseg bill? I just got my first non estimated meter reading bill from them and it was $250 more than my normal bill. so basically $125 a month. Does that sound normal to you guys? Oh, and the wife drives about 55 miles a day...

Coming from an S, thinking about a 3... Never had to pay supercharging before, approximately how much is it to charge the car up let's say 80% (the long range battery)? I apologize if this has been discussed before, I tried to find it and couldn't locate any solid intel. Thanks!

Hi one and all and greetings from Denmark that's Europe not USA :-) I will be collecting my secondhand 2014 Tesla S 60 next Saturday and cant wait its low mail age and been very well looked after from what I can see. I have always found that to be a member of an owners club in the past to be a...

I had a conversation with a Tesla customer service rep and I mentioned that I was waiting for the dual motor option for the Model 3. Then, out of the blue, they mentioned it was probably the best to wait considering the 100 kWh battery will be an option around the middle of the year. I asked...

Just added a M3 and became a two Tesla family. We had planned to add a second HPWC, having the two load-share our 100A circuit. Would be convenient: Come home, plug in, and forget. It would be nice to have a spare HPWC if one went down ... which has happened to us in the past. And, local...

I have a late 2017 S75D, and I've noticed the expected range that's displayed is always overstated by 15-20%, no matter where or how I'm driving. My commute for example is exactly 31 miles one-way, and the car always seems to "use" 35-38 miles. Even for longer trips, the range used will be...

When will San Diego get new Superchargers. This was definitely glossed over at the time of sale. Any update coming?

Hello All! I'm planning my first road trip with my Tesla. I've been reading a lot of threads but they seem to be from previous versions of the charging kits or outdated links to products. If going on a road trip 1) What extension cord would I need to buy? 2) What are the best adapters for...

Went into garage while car was asleep (and not plugged into HPWC) and heard a sound (more like a hum) coming from front area of car. Could this be the 12V battery charging? The car has been idle for 4-5 hours - how long would it normally take to recharge that battery? What sort of operations...

I'm asking $79,990 for my beloved low milage Tesla Model S 90D (7,300 miles) - note that this is the refreshed design with the improved front fascia - with the following upgrades/amenities: Free/UNLIMITED Supercharging for LIFE Dual Motor 90D battery Midnight Silver Metallic paint All glass...

I know charging to 90% is reccomended and plan to follow that. My question is, will my chargtime, to 90% be faster if I set the charge limit to 100% and just manually stopped charging at the 90% mark?

This is a Big Deal to me and some others, notably Japan and Canada, and Canadian deliveries are beginning, so it should be time. Does anybody know what is happening?

I have done multiple searches on how to balance the battery and get even more confused with the more I read. I have a 2008 roaster, #466, with 36K on the odometer. I am not using the car as a daily driver and have been charging with the 110 volt charger. (My wife's S model has been hogging the...

TMC Forum Readers - I took delivery of my Model 3 on 2/14 and thought I would pen a quick post on my initial impressions, hoping that some of my points might be new to others. Now a little background before I get into it... I have been part of the forum for 2 years now, when I was serious...

I am taking delivery of my first Tesla in 2 weeks. I did get the black wall connector as my referral reward but those are not shipping until April. My question is what should I have installed in my garage, I know the 14-50 plug but at how many amps? This is all a bit confusing to me lol Thanks...

Picked up my model 3 just a few days ago. Has anyone had issues with their model 3 and a drop in battery overnight? My battery was about 100 Miles, and in the morning it was 0. This seems incredibly odd and way too significant of a drop. Software issues potentially?

I am trying to charge two Teslas in a HOA parking lot with deeded spaces. I know I can run power from the main panel and use a system like Chargepoint or Evercharge but I am trying to avoid being locked in to those services. We do have Wifi in the electrical room so I am thinking a wifi...

Our Model X 100D is fairly new - just 6 weeks or so. Our typical charging practice is to plug in the Wall Connector before we go to bed and unplug in AM when we go out. Car is set to charge to 80%. Normally, I'll plug in the cable and start the charge, and when I walk away, the car will lock...

Hey everyone! I need some serious help! hahahaha I have been using the charge chord that came with my Model 3 but I decided I wanted to install the HPWC and since I already had a NEMA 14-50 plug where I want to install it, I decided to order the version (which I hear is pretty new????) that...

Hey guys, I didn't get much info from the X side, but I want to see if you guys have the answer for this. Just how does the battery on the S/X work. Obviously any power to the motor comes from the traction battery, is the dash and all the electronics powered by the 12v or the big battery? If...

I live in the SF bay area of CA, so not particularly cold at night (dips to low 30's F sometimes). Typical overnight winter temps are around 40F. And yet, every morning when I start driving my late-2017 S75, I get a little yellow warning triangle on the dashboard near the power meter, and the...

I just returned from a 3-week trip to Uganda. My 7-month old MS100D sat idle during that time plugged into my garage Nema 14-50, in the garage, with max SOC set to 75%. Ambient temps were 20's and 30's. Upon return I'm getting the "12v Battery needs service, replace". Email' d the local SC to...

I intentionally sought out a pre-facelift car as I didn't like the duckbill look of the current Model S. On top of that, I sought out a Titanium Metallic color because it is the most appealing to me. Midnight Silver was my second choice if I couldn't locate a TM. Luckily I found exactly what I...

Hey everyone, I left my car unplugged from tuesday night when i got home from work (fell ill after i got home and didnt end up going back out that night so i never plugged in), until thursday afternoon (44h later or so). got in the car with less than 60(!) miles of charge left and the car...

I would love it if the car would pop up a notification when we return home from a trip and ask If we want to decrease the charge limit from 100%. Reducing it after we travel just doesn't seem to ever happen until we notice after a day or three :oops:

Hi Everyone! My Model X (December 2017) ran out of juice on my 12v battery. I got this message on my dash saying I needed to service my 12v battery soon..or else. I found that extremely odd. Sometimes you get a lousy battery but this one was a real head scratcher. At any rate, the good people...

According to TeslaFi - I parked my P85D with 160.2 rated miles at a garage at work, and returned to the car about 7 hours later with remaining 154 rated miles. is it normal for the car to lose so many miles just standing there? The only caveat that I can think of is that there is no cell service...

Last night while at the Promenade in Thousand Oaks I noticed they had used barricade fencing to section off the parking lot which appears to be where the SPs will be located. Same type of fencing as the Commons in Calabasas. Both centers are owned by Caruso.
