Hi Guys.
So we received delivery of our Tesla last Friday. Did all the checks on the list and luckily there were no physical defects HOWEVER I've had two issues that I can't currently explain.
Reg Braking doesn't work...at all. When it was delivered off the transporter and we moved it to a better parking location it worked perfectly fine then. Later that day my husband drove the car a short distance and didn't enjoy the 'hold' driving experience so switched his profile to 'creep'. I however prefer to drive on 'hold' so my profile is still set to that however it doesn't hold whatsoever.
When I release my foot off the accelerator it continues driving on for a good number of seconds before getting to 0mph. I've tried toggling between hold and creep and roll to see if that would get it working again and toggling between low and standard on regen braking but nothing seems to make it work.
Is it because my husband's profile isn't set to hold - could that have impacted it? Couple things to note, at no point was the car anywhere close to 100% - max we've charged it was 80% so it can't be that. Also it's cold in London but regen braking doesn't work even after driving on hour long trips when i assume the battery would definitely had had a chance to warm up.
Any advice? I've logged it as a delivery defect however if there's a quick fix would rather avoid a service centre trip.
Next issue is the battery drain...maybe linked to the regenerative braking not working?? I currently have the car set to show me the battery in miles so I could track it and it seems that for every 1mile driven 2miles is lost from the battery - is that normal??
Also, tonight for example I drove 6 miles...lost 12 miles on the battery upon arrival at my destination. Parked up and had a 2 hour appointment...got back in the car and had lost 3 miles during the 2 hours it was parked outside...again is that normal?
I've also put this down as a servicing issue given we had to do this all within the first 7 days but i want to know if maybe my expectations aren't realistic for how the battery drains and if this is normal i'll cancel the service ticket.
Any advice/wisdom much appreciated!
