Range

So I bought brand new MS 90D earlier this year in February. I have almost 14,000 miles on it and I started noticing, over the pas couple of months, a decline in the 80% and 90% charge numbers. I usually plug in 4-5 days a week to charge in the garage and never go above 90%. Earlier I would see...

Hello, i am starting a project on making a range extender on my tesla model S P85 to get an additional 650KM range i am doing this with a hydrogen fuel cell system this will just be a proof of concept first and afterwards i will make it look pretty;) i have done this with other vehicles...

We’ve had 2 Nissan Leafs since 2013 as it was the first affordable EV offered on a grand scale. They are a nice tight, smooth and zippy package for a local cruiser. This experience made the decision to get a Model S ea$ier…. Our Leaf lease is coming due soon so I went shopping for more range...

The terms "jerk", "whiplash", and "black-out" come to mind... What the Hell Is an Aspark Owl and Why Do We Want One? | Automobile Magazine But it can't go 300 miles on a charge, carry 5 adults, and all the stuff we bring home from Costco, so I guess I'll stick with my MS...at least until the...

For all the serious road trippers and hypermilers out there, I'm wondering how you set up their car for a long road trip? I've been inspired by some folks on the thread who've installed espresso machines in their car, and other seemingly random but ingeniouos setups. How do you all set...

Looking for the best fit in wheels and tires for the best range wh/mi. Go me factory 22", on a new (demo) MX90D. I read that 22s are not efficient.... no kidding!!!.... I get 270 to 330 all day long on my S85D with 19" and I yet to get anything below 430 on the X with the 22" not even in town...

Help Colorado Tesla Owners! I am a in-store Model 3 reservation holder living in Denver, and I'm trying to figure out if I need to get the long range Model 3. I had initially planned to spend ~$42K on my Model 3 (not incl. tax, dest charge, etc), so just upgrading to the longer range will push...

When Elon Musk said Long Range version based at $44k while Standard version based at $35k during the delivery event. Today looking at the Tesla Model 3 delivery estimate "First Production 310-mile range with Rear Wheel Drive" cost $49,000. Did I miss something? $35k + $9000 (Long Range) +...

Tesla may be using the 220/310 mile range figure (and .23 Cd) as a lower bound for cars equipped with the 19" Sport wheels/tires. If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if the range with the 18" Aero wheels/tires (I'm assuming the tires also have a smidge lower Crr) is over 215/320 miles...

Battery Degradation what!? now before y'all pounce on me, i realize my miles are low, but i would like to try to get a new thread started for Model X owners to have a place to officially post their findings. Below are photos showing my car charged to 100% this morning before i head to...

The California Air Resources Board's latest and greatest Executive Order is for one "MODEL 3 LONG RANGE"! https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroad/cert/pcldtmdv/2017/tesla_pc_a3740018_0_z_e.pdf The speculative side of my wants to believe that early reservation holders will get "Long Range" Model...

With the help of www.evtripping.com I planned my route from Columbus OH to Lebanon IN and only allowed for a 5% buffer in my settings/preferences on their route planner, (not for the faint of heart!). The following video shows how it went when I left Columbus with 100% SOC...

I am a model s September 2016 75d owner trying to help out a friend and coworker decide on their first Tesla. They have the option to bulid a new 75d to spec or take an inventory 90d at a deep discount. Both vehicles are in the 90k range after all options are considered. Now that the new 75s...

Hello everybody, This summer we are taking a road trip from Los Angeles in our X60D. We are planning to be away for 8-ish days. We want to go to Jackson WY, and then go to Yellowstone for a night or two and stay in West Yellowstone MT, where there is a supercharger. Does anybody have any trip...

Let's compare Model X 60D 100% Range, I stared with 204miles I'm down to 196 after 8 months and 21k Miles, Please post your miles, time owned and range so we can compare, Thank!

A friend asked, "What is the range [of your Tesla Model S]? Do you have the smaller battery or bigger one? Have you taken it on road trips where there is mountains and how does that affect the batteries?" Range is a very common question among electric vehicle potential buyers, and the short...

Hi all! So I'm at Disney with 80 miles of range left. I don't think I'll make it to the orange one so I'm thinking the one that is on the turnpike about 12 miles away. Does anyone know if you can get right on and access the plaza it's in as I don't trust the Tesla navigation lol. I'm trying to...

... but have failed so far. Extra 65 miles of range actually would help. Drive LA (SFV) --> Mammoth (300 mi), LA <--> Palm Desert (280 mi one-day R/T). In winter, drive to Mammoth is affected by uphill (7000 ft, incl 4000 ft after final Supercharger) and cold. In summer, affected by uphill...

I've driven on nothing buy the OEM 19" rims and tires for nearly 80k miles until my referral program 21" Arachnids were installed last Thursday. On Friday I drove over 180 miles to Kansas City, MO, so had a chance to see what sort of impact the new rims/tires would have. While this general issue...

2 Questions a. Would anyone know of a way to turn off regen (I know you can set it to low) completely. During highway driving, i prefer to coast rather than regen to not double tax mechanical energy with the various losses (motor, controller, battery). b. Is there a way to limit total power...

had my MX since June. At first 100% charge got me 257 miles as advertised. 90% was 232. Now, only after 8 months of ownership, my 90% only gets me 220 miles of range. Local shop says it's normal, but MS owners I know have only lost 3-5 miles of range over the past 2 years of ownership. My...

Looking for some reassurance on an upcoming trip from you guys: I don't currently own a Tesla, but have a deposit for a Model 3. I'm taking a trip to Vegas in April and thought it'd be fun to rent a Model S for my trip. There is one portion of the trip where I'm unsure of the cars range due...

So, why did Tesla choose to use micro-fuses on a full size 2 1/2 ton car? Cost: Virtually the same as mini-fuses. Size: It's a big car with lots of room, but with some tight spaces. So maybe. Weight: By my *SWAG, the weight-saving benefits over mini-fuses could add nearly 27 feet of range...

Hello all: I'm a few minutes away from leaving for my longest Japanese road trip yet. Follow along at: Tesla in Japan

I slapped my $2500 deposit down and now I need some info from some real owners -- what to order? Background: I've been looking for a Tesla on and off over the last 2 years. There was always something that turned me away, either price, waiting for new features, etc. I've always paid cash for...

Hi everyone, Happy new year!! I am having a major senior moment and I need some mathematical help. I am typically one of those who is really good at math and physics but perhaps its the state of affairs in the world or a nasty head cold that I, for the life of me, cannot assess what is the...

Hi everyone, I am a super happy and proud Model S 75D owner. But I have to say that perhaps over JUST 1% of the driving that I have done in the past month, I may have gotten the rated range. As in if the computer tells me 100miles range and I have driven 100 actual miles and that only 100 were...

Rather than write my review up in more than one place, I've written it on my blog. I'm sure the veterans know all what I've written, but if you're interested, have a look: Tesla Model S P85+: Two-Year Review

Curious about the range. The old 85 or 85D, I remember the range was like 265 miles from EPA in the old tesla homepage. The 75D shows, 259 miles from EPA. The difference of 10kwh is for only 6 miles. That seems so little difference for 10kwh.

The chart below and attached is based on current Wikipedia info. The yellow column is an educated guess based primarily on current AWD Model S versions. Assumptions about the 100D: 1. It will use the same battery pack as the P100D 2. It will use the same motors and controllers as the 90D...

I just put in my order for a X90D but before I confirm I wanted to check and see if anyone has data on efficiency loss while driving in the mountains in the the winter. I live in ft Collins, CO and have family in Steamboat Springs and will be doing that drive rather frequently. It is 155 miles...

Hi all there's a great planning resource that I found here How Far Can I Travel With this tool you can calculate range around a point taking major roads into account, not just a general circle. Results can then be input into Google Maps to be saved. I used this to generate a 75 mile "no...

Hear me out now. Apart from being cheaper to produce (/kWh) the new 2170 cells will allow for more capaciy in a given pack size. 40% more than the 2012 85kWh pack, according to JB Straubel. And that may well be without the extra utilization of 5mm head space through the longer cells. So, close...

It's 1 degree Celsius and I'm trying to get home. I have 160 km rated left. I have 102km to go. Model X 90D. I'm using AP, going 5km over the posted limit. No heat (I'm cold!) and my rated range is dropping fast. I've checked and re-checked plug share. Anything on my way either isn't open or...

What happens when you run out of power in your Tesla? Range anxiety – especially at Nordic winter time – is prevalent to all EV owners and this also includes Tesla owners. As most EV’s use battery capacities of around 20 KWh, Tesla’s generous capacity of up to 100 KWh dampens this anxiety...

Tesla factory 19" Aerodynamic Wheels (Aero Wheels) with Michelin Primacy tires Excellent Condition. Came with recently purchased Tesla CPO car. About 700 miles on tires, mostly from drive down from Tesla factory to So. Ca. Hoping for local sale/pickup (Huntington Beach, CA). My tire shop...

So, I'm noticing that Wh/mi is improved on side streets versus highway driving at 75-80 MPH. Having done that, I ran five trials on EVTripPlanner.com to see what the Wh/mi in a hypothetical drive, via mostly side streets, to cover a final 5 miles to some superchargers. My info averages to 215...

Since I've received Version 8.0, I've noticed that my efficiency (Wh/mi) isn't as good as it normally is, which could be completely circumstantial. However, it got me thinking: now that the new functionality of Autopilot relies more on the forward-looking radar, I'm assuming more power is being...

What range can I expect with a 90D? I drive 75mph on the highway and always have the a/c running. I'm in Florida. I'm a conservative driver. I ordered the 20 inch wheels. Thanks!

I'll be taking delivery of my CPO 85S very soon. The wait, which looks like it'll stretch to four weeks, is killing me. One thing I've been pondering is what type of range hit am I likely to take during the cold months here in Washington, DC? With our Volt, we typically lose 10-15 miles of...

Well, I've spontaneously created time to spend my Labor Day weekend finally breaking in Verity, and … let's just say that I'm extremely displeased with the results so far. At the start, yesterday, I depended too much on my pre-existing Chicago – Montana roadtrip rhythm; Two days, stopping...

I'm not sure if this is the right branch here, but I keep wondering why people are still keep buying premium ICE cars. Do people seriously argue about not being able to drive ~400 miles in one tank on $80k~ cars? Do they really need to take their 650i on rock-chippy road trips? I have a slight...

Last spring, as my 85D turned one year old, I was slightly disappointed to see degradation appear to accelerate, with displayed range falling almost daily. 90%, which had originally been 243-245, fell to 233 or 234, with 100% barely eking past 260. Roughly 3.5% degradation in the first year...

Like any other ICE (SUV OR REGULAR AWD) car: D - can be selectable from front, rear to 4wd by software control base on the driving condition. Like if on boring long distance driving, 2wd is good enogh, energy saving and range can also be much better than all time AWD. AP is not a hardware, for...

i just ordered a model S 60. I have one concern and that's the range. I am 95 percent a local driver where range will not be an issue. I'm concerned and think maybe I should modify to a 75 before my week runs out though. I live in DC. I recently drove my Taurus Sho to Louisville to visit my...

This week my family took a vacation to Donner Lake in the North Lake Tahoe Area. We took our Model X and towed a pair of jet skis on a double trailer. I was very nervous about the climb up the hill and can report that the X did great. We have a P90D and the available towing power is amazing...

I've just placed an order for a 75 RWD after I deciding I don't really need to spend an additional $15K for the 90D. The 249 EPA rated miles is enough for 95% of our daily driving. For the 2-3 trips a year we would possibly take from Phoenix to SoCal or Las Vegas the additional 1 or 2 hours...
