I have cables courtesy of living through BatteryGate--any idea where to plug in?

OK, granted I am running on about 3 hrs of sleep, but if I run the pack down to something like 50% then charge back up to 90%, can't I just divide the kWh added by 40% to get a decent approx of usable pack?
What's the rated miles at whatever percent you are at right now?

I'd hate to help you do remote surgery on a new car.
Probably has to be easily accessible to a tech in the driver's seat I would think...

Yes...and the buffer, if used, is prolly only 2KwH, assuming it is similar to Raven.

80.5kWh for your 2015 P85D, 253 rated miles. (318Wh/mi)
103kWh for the Model S Plaid, 348 rated miles. (296Wh/mi)
I should add - that battery is not just marginally bigger. It's 28% larger.
So, if you add 7% to the scalar (0.75 rather than 0.7), and that makes the range 35% higher all else being equal. (It's possible that it didn't increase this much - it could only be 4-5% higher.)
The remaining 2.5% (or perhaps a little more) is likely other efficiency improvements (which is pretty good given the rubber on these vehicles - though your P85D probably had decently sticky tires as well).
@omarsultan Youtuber Tesla Daily pretty much read your whole review of plaid in his video for is today

Not exactly, because of the buffer, although what you're proposing would be close to right, I think, due to the vagaries of how Tesla reports "kWh added" (which are NOT the actual kWh DC added, oddly enough, lol).
I would recommend recording BOTH the RATED MILES added (as large a % as possible), and the kWh added. You will need to change the Energy Display mode (Energy vs. Distance) to get it to show you both these numbers. It doesn't show them concurrently, to my knowledge.
You should also record the starting and ending % for good measure, to eliminate any ambiguity.
This would also be helpful, though I assume the results are going to extrapolate to 348 miles as expected.
OK - I'll take the car out for a nice long run tomorrow and see what that tells us.

Will be funny if people cancel their orders over the yoke only to find out it will most likely be an option.
Wait, Tesla Has a Normal Round Steering Wheel for the New Model S?
The carmaker may not be fully yoked to the Model S's wild new steering yoke.www.motortrend.com
One thing nice about having to wait is the chance for all the early people to review. I think I will be fine with the yoke.
Def not going to be anything like an older car. Remember there is a whole nother motor. So getting even close to same rating is pretty impressive

With the rounding errors, and the unknown usage of the buffer, I'd say you would get close enough using about half the pack.
Honestly, I would save that for later. Get some rest!

Yeah, baseline raw unscaled consumption looks pretty close to the same if not a little bit better than the 2015 P85D. Which shows that they really have improved things decently (a few % neglecting the silly scalar). In spite of three motors, sticky tires, etc.
This is all assuming similar charging efficiency - which seems likely - that's another place they could win, and we don't have that info yet. I don't really expect it though, since the Model Y and the Model 3 have also been stubbornly stuck at 88.5% or so and if they had the ability to improve AC-DC efficiency there, they would have used it, I assume.

And videos. The few videos that I have seen where people manipulate the Yoke make me think it won't be a big deal. Tesla Raj messed with a demo one and did a hand over hand that looked fine.
Here’s a little news segment of Jay Leno racing the Model S and talking Tesla!

I drive at 3 and 9 and never at 12 so no big deal for me.
Might be faster to look for that sticker
Your Tesla battery pack information is found on a sticker affixed to the front right side of the battery pack that can be seen when looking under your car from just behind the front right (passenger side) wheel.
Well on other cars yes. Who knows about this one. I think they've looked.Might be faster to look for that sticker
