Kevin Sharpe's decreased Roadster range

[hcsharp]

It is not "Kevin Shape's Decreased Mileage Roadster Range"...

Freudian slip?

 

[hcsharp]

There is the Freudian slip!

I think the "rage" part was intentional.

I'm outa' schule so spellin is opsional....

Yeah, the "Shape" was Freudian but the "Rage" was intentional.

Best to all, including Kevin ShaRpe.

Many thanks Tom, that would be very helpful

I would also like everyone to know that my posts are being moderated... part of TMC's attempt to control negative Tesla news no doubt.

I just approved your post, because we don't control negative comments.

Just as we start asking Roadster owners to provide logs that could help prove my case (or not) you feel the need to start moderating posts... make it difficult if you want but it will not stop the bigger story because it's important to consumers.

I'm just the section moderator, deciding who to put under moderation is above my pay grade.

So how many different "news" organizations are you going to contact to try to spread your sob story of losing ~19% of your range instead of the anticipated 17% that you should have lost? Oh wait, that's right...you don't share that information do you?

With how many will you share that you have clicked through a very clear warning about range charging and how many times you have done so? Oh wait, that's right...you don't share that information either do you?

How many will you confuse with ideal range vs estimated range and therefore inflate their pity and "reporting" with your 150 vs 245 miles sob story?

Kevin's posts are now moderated because he started spamming other parts of the forum which is against our policies. Kevin's account has also been limited in the past because of not heeding simple warnings about basic forum rules and etiquette. Really it's not that complicated. Most members get by with no problems.

I for one am curious about the final verdict on his battery. So please be polite and stay on topic.

No spamming just posting my opinion in other parts of the forum.

"A full charge now yields only 150 miles"
How far will a full charge take any other electric car on the market? Why does your screen show 157 miles at 96%? Doesn't that mean an actual full charge would go 163 miles?

because that's where the charge terminated... maybe ask Tesla?

 

[JRP3]

The Bradford-on-Avon-based businessman extended the car’s service agreement for £13,000 last year with Tesla but was concerned to find that the terms did not cover battery fade

"Concerned to find"? I thought he knew that full well when purchasing the service agreement?

Wish there was a comment section in that article to voice my personal opinion and side of the story, there's also no way to contact the Author. Odd.
