Call from Tesla for new 400 mile range

[r1200gs4ok]

Just got a call from Tesla this morning asking if I would be interested in attending an event in Costa Mesa for showing off the upgrade for the new 400 mile range for the Model S......

Asked if this upgrade would be applied to my 17 Jan 2020 Model S.....after getting some information for someone else, she said no, I would have to pay for it but she did not know the cost....

also asked if my battery (100kW) was capped at 98%.....she said yes it was.....then asked why am I only getting 320 mile range when charged to 90% when it should be at 335 mile range.....she suggested to go to the service center and ask them....

oh well.....it is what it is....but I do love my car.....

she could not answer any questions about the new 2020.4.11 software release I got last night either.....(different department......suggested I call service center )

Is it a software upgrade? Currently the Model S LR+ range is 390 miles and 348 Miles for the Performance.

When changing the wheel configuration from 19" to 21" there is no range change ?

Makes you wonder doesn't it.

I was led to believe this event would be this Saturday at the Costa Mesa delivery center on Pullman ave, costa mesa

I asked if it was software or hardware and was told it was a hardware upgrade....thus the cost we would have to pay....which by the way, she could not tell me what that would be

I would think if it were a software upgrade, why should we have to pay for it especially if our cars are under 30 days old

Interesting. I thought I read that a few people were getting told the Long Range Plus version of the S and X they ordered were not to be delivered until... I thought the date was the March 7th, which would fall on this Saturday..... The plot thickens.....

I'm one of those people. Car has been across town since the original delivery date of the 22nd when they told us an hour before delivery that we couldn't get it until after the 7th. My new delivery date is now March 8th. Also very interested to see why I couldn't have the car (that I did get to sit in under supervision) 2 weeks prior...

I’m also one of those March 7 people - but getting the car on March 6...

Did you say "Yes" to attending the event ?

 

[Uncle Paul]

Maybe they are waiting for a special part to come in.

I am supposed to go on a motorcycle camping trip this weekend but looks like rain....if rain, I am going.....

hopefully, someone who goes to the Costa Mesa event will be Savvy enough to ask a loaded question like;
"... will there be any WRITTEN warranty that future Tesla OTA countermeasures won't grenade charge speed & range for at least 200K miles &/or 10 years?"

The hardware is likely the Temepest wheels.

Dam, I land in LA on the 8th and stay direct opposite that Tesla location. Murphy rules again

I was (am) hoping for more but I think you are right....for now, at least.

 

[jkoya]

Interested to hear how the event goes from anyone that is attending..

I was told on multiple occasions that I could keep the Silver Slipstream wheels already on the car. I don't want the Tempest wheels.

somewhat related...saw a video on youtube that said Porsche caps their battery at 90% of actual capacity for the Taycan..
