Just got off the phone with service center after getting a quote in the $270 range with service center telling me they misquoted. Now they realize they need to drop the battery on my 2015 85D and it will cost ~$700. They did offer to reduce the labor 50% on the up charge, but final cost is...

Unfortunately, the screenshot truncated the text showing battery fuse needs replacement. Car is 2015 85D, April build with 40k miles.

This was the quote I received

Just popped up on my 2015 MS 85d today. Tesla service quoted $243 to fix, plus another $20 for hatch drain retrofit. Much better than $11k.

So much happier with this, 300 mile trip with temps in upper 80s, no significant wind. This is much better than the other screenshot. Average usage for the trip at regular highway speeds (75-80 mph) of 295 Wh/mi. Expect the tires to continue to improve (see earlier link) since these just...

This is about as scientific as I could get with the attached picture. Trip B is with new Pirelli tires, while trip A is previous OEM Michelin and the trip B Pirelli mixed in. Not sure how apples to apples this is since the Pirellis took a couple of 600 mile round trips in rain and cold, which...

Just had a set of Pirelli Elect tires installed 2 weeks ago. Only a hundred miles on them so far. Replaced original Primacy tires on my 2015 85D with 36k miles on them. So far they seem to be quieter and closed to the same efficiency. I expect that they will get better after some more miles. 300...

Curious if you see any puddles in your driveway or garage now that the AC drains ‘properly’

I would prefer mi/kWh for display and comparison. Seems natural evolution from miles per gallon. Would love to see this as a display option. It’s the same calculation inverted. i.e. 250 wh/mi = 4.0 miles per kWh. Would be very little code change

My commute was 60 miles a day when I bought a used model S 2 years ago and ordered a wall charger at the same time. I have a supercharger 2 miles from my house and the car has FUSC, BUT it is SO convenient to pull in the garage, plug in wall connector, then have car ready to go in the morning...

Are all 12 working? The Tesla website shows 12 stalls at this location.

Cheapest fixed rate plan is simplest. I always charge at night anyway just to be nicer to the apparently fragile grid. Switch plans every contract period keeps the price down. I always specify 100% renewable just to shut up the fossil fuel mouths that want to yap about the coal burning used...

This is awesome. Great mid-way point from DFW to Houston. Now I can avoid the Huntsville stop. Really good to see building out to 12 chargers. Wonder if part of the build out is to support other EVs charging here?

Absolutely concerned. While I have not had to wait at a supercharger, my neighbor has. Allowing other makes to use superchargers does promote the shift to EVs, there is the risk of Tesla EV waiting to charge while another car charges at a supercharger. Will the other cars be able to optimally...

Apparently, the passive entry option cannot be set at home. When I got to work the other day, I was able to set passive entry and my handles present again. Still finding settings to change to get back to where it was.

MCU2 upgrade done last week on 2015 S 85D. Appointment for Monday morning at 9:45. App said estimated completion 5 PM, OK. Wait, 5 PM Wednesday - what ? Link provided for Uber credits to get me home. Pick up the car and YES, it's like getting a new car. I figured I would have to reset...

Agree that government should not be installing charging stations or mandating them at specific locations. Government should incentivize private industry/investment in charging infrastructure. Private investment will properly vet location and size to fit needs. Curious why power companies are...

Stopped by there today to check it out. Noticed that the chargers are grouped by 4 (1A-B-C-D, then 2 & 3). Is that normal for V3 ? Will that change the etiquette for using a supercharger ?

Well after plotting the details at my local supercharger in the earlier post, I had to take a relatively short road trip (300 miles 1 way) this week, which required multiple supercharger stops. When I got to the first SC, my SOC was 10%. Supercharging started at 119 kw and stayed above 100kw...

After reading this, was very anxious to see if the update would improve supercharger experience so that trips would be feasible in the future. Very disappointed in data. 2015 S85D with 2020.48.37.1 air temp 67. I was not sharing SC with anyone else. Tracked battery charge percentage and...

Just had mine changed today, 2015 S 85D, $227 total. Normally would do myself, but didn’t feel that comfortable taking out so much of the frank interior to get at the battery. Tech was done in 20 minutes, said the dual motor was easier. He also said the battery was original. Nice to know since...

Yes, I bought a used 2015 Model S 85D from an independent dealer. I flew into pick up the car in September 2019 and drove it 600 miles home that day, making multiple supercharging stops. FUSC has worked for me ever since. It took awhile to get the app on the phone working since I had to prove...

Have not seen much on the class action suit. Would like to see an option to allow for a battery upgrade that could supercharge at full rate. If the original battery pack is not able to supercharge, I would offer to give up FUSC if I had a car that could road trip. I recently did a 300 mile...

Couple of great points here. 1 is the value of free supercharging, which is normally only used on long trips. Over the course of a year, it's maybe $100-200 (?), guess it depends on your usage. I have a supercharger 2 miles from my house and charged there for the first month, before I...

Another huge +1 for this site. Other option is NEMA in Dalhart found in PlugShare. Otherwise it’s the square, long interstate route to get from Amarillo to Trinidad. This forum is so great... :cool:
