    Battery Degradation – 10 year report

    Seems to me, the range estimate is just a calculation by the software and it's not accurate anyway. I think the number goes down because it's trying to get more accurate over time, and I don't think that necessarily means the battery holds less energy. For example, I have a 2015 with 110,000...

    In the past they did put on a greet event at an owner's private parking lot but that hasn't happened in 2 years now. We'll basically be at the same spot for the takeover of Woodward Ave though!

    Woodward Dream Cruise 2019 Detroit Area

    Woodward Dream Cruise is this weekend. Any interest in having a rally and group cruise up Woodward with 100% Teslas? We could muster on Catalpa street east of Woodward and line up. Once the light turns green we can fill in the entire boulevard and load up all the cars and cruise Woodward 100%...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Battery care is the same no matter which car company. Repeated 100% full charges shortens battery life. Etron, Tesla, cell phones, etc.

    Paint..Protective coating and carwash

    I have a 2015 MS and I have the 2 layer Opticoat on my car. I'm really happy with it. The paint is deep blue metallic so being a dark color it shows a scratch quickly and it's annoying. Opti has helped significantly, especially for protection from bird droppings but nothing beats the spray on...

    Tesla Master Plan Part 2 & 3

    I too love the summon idea but I don't see how it can really work in the real world. Ok, I summon my car to the airport hundreds of miles away to meet me when I land. On the way, the car gets a flat tire. Now what? Or worse, someone crashes into my car through know fault of its own. Rear ended...

    Service/Warranty work in Michigan

    That shocks me to hear that. I live in a suburb of Detroit and I've never paid for a ranger visit from Cleveland. They have techs that live in the area and come to you, so there's really no long drive issues for them to get to you. And if for some strange reason the car needs to go to Ohio for...

    AP -- Improvement So Gradual That You Hardly Notice, Until ...

    I agree with the statements here but What I can't stand is the car hugging the lane markers and getting dangerously close to neighboring traffic. It pisses me off the car has a love affair with cars and big trucks directly to my side. I wish I could dial in a bias to the left or right side of a...

    Finally did it and ordered new Model S 70

    The car is coming with a 4 year, 50k warranty with unlimited time and mileage warranty on the drivetrain. The fact is, there's not much to break or service. Given 4 years of white glove service, personally I don't think it's a worthy expense. I've owned 2 Model S's over the last 3 years and...

    Tesla Service Question: Loaners, Rentals, and free gasoline

    I never returned an Enterprise loaner full. I wouldn't bother asking for gas reimbursement if I needed to buy fuel. You guys are over the top. Tesla service is the best in the industry and you're worried about a tank of gas?

    Tesla Model S 70D - Midnight Silver, June 2015, 7k miles, Next Generation Black Leather, Pano Roof,

    Did you post an ad on Panjo? I sold my S in under a week thanks to Panjo and a realistic price. And if you put your email address in the ad you might be able to work it outside of the fee... Good luck!

    Hyundai to Launch 2016 Midsize BEV Powered By Next-Gen LG Chem Batteries

    At the Geneva auto show they are saying 155 miles of range. With 28 kw that amounts to 180 watts per mile which seems impossible to me. at 100 miles of range that's 280 watts, which seems more realistic. Turn on the heater, and you're down to 75. Plus every night you have to full charge this...

    Which color goes best with Deep Blue Metallic - grey or tan?

    I also have the Depp Blue Metallic with tan leather and I think it looks fabulous. I also have the dark headliner, which I think really finishes it off perfectly. I only have 1 picture handy and it doesn't show much on the inside but I hope it helps. I could dig up some more if you want, just...

    70D vs. 90D Speed Regrets?

    I owned a S85 for 26 months until an unfortunate incident with an animal. Impatient to wait for the repairs which took 3 months, I bought an inventory 70D and then sold the S85 after it was fixed. There's a big power difference between the 2 vehicles, here's what I've noticed. The S85 has a...

    SuperCharger Use Map

    I don't see how publishing supercharger parking is a privacy issue. It's public knowledge to anybody within eyeshot; so what's the difference if the system publishes the real time connections? It's not publishing the license plate numbers or any car data for that matter. Funny - if you're...

    Model S Decimates Large Premium/Luxury Car Market

    If Tesla built over 50,000 Model S's in 2015 why is the chart showing sales of 25k for the same time period? Can anybody explain this or tell me where the other 25k went? How/why are sales only 25k in this chart? ~

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

    Wow, the wheels have really fallen off! I have never seen a stock rocket $60 upward so I think no matter what the conference call brings we're not getting back to $225 anytime soon. No word from Elon to help the free fall makes me nervous. If X deliveries are so fabulous why the delay in...

    Auto Homelink issues?

    In terms of Homelink, often I have had to hit the button several times to get the opener to operate. This has nothing to do with the Tesla - my other remotes have the same problems. Auto open/close doesn't actually know if the signal actuated the door... if your opener works right, it will do...

    60KWh battery for the Bolt... ¿maybe to big for base model 3?

    208 is more than 200. They haven't released the number yet because it's not significantly over 200. You can be sure their number will be in that ballpark, or they may release an even higher number but it won't be real world. In the cold you use twice as much juice per mile.

    Trade In Experience

    Friends, they are in the business of building and selling NEW cars. They realize that trading vehicles is a necessary evil so they do it but they don't want to do it at a loss. In case you haven't noticed they don't run a used car lot so all the cars they take in on trade are transferred to...

    Black headliner - any regrets ?

    I also have the black headliner with tan seats. I think it looks great, I'm very happy with my choice. This is my second MS - the first had grey seats and the light colored headliner. It didn't match and I think the dark color really makes the car look sharp. If you don't want too much black...

    Model S - "Autopilot" Available in Competitors

    Tesla Trade-in Offer a Joke

    Place an ad on the classifieds here on the forum. I received a low ball from Cleveland/Columbus but priced the car right on the forum and sold it in 6 days. I also placed ads on cars.com and craigslist.org, both generated interest but you have to price it right. Look at the cars already on the...

    Bob Lutz in Road & Track.

    Lutz has his head in the sand. The old guard doesn't get it, never will. He's a flip phone guy in a smart phone world, and nothing is going to change that. Road and Track just proved they are only interested in promoting the old car sales and service model.

    Firmware 7.0

    I would think the software can judge lanes and intent with the position of the steering wheel. (I'm in the middle lane, and I'm turning to follow the lane markings.) Add the sensor readings of the other vehicles, in my lane or adjacent lanes... With this information it should know the car...

    Firmware 7.0

    I like my steering wheel low and I am tall, so with the new dash I cannot see my speed unless I lower my head. But I have a great view of the autopilot car and lane indicator. I'd really like to have the speed at the bottom and the car animation above. They have moved the speed to a point...

    T boned by deer (graphic photo)

    The broken glass was everywhere and I had the most scratches on my face and arms, both front passengers had glass in our mouth. Other than that the car performed great. I highly doubt the windshield on the X would have done so well without the top structural member holding the deer out. We still...

    T boned by deer (graphic photo)

    I had one come out of nowhere to attempt a jump over my car in May. We weren't nearly as lucky as you were. The car tore the deer in 2 pieces and when the windshield separated from the top all the biohazard came into the cabin and on me and my family. The rear half of the deer shattered the...

    Road Trip coming up - question for the long distance experienced...

    I would get closer. 252 miles on a charge is a significant stretch unless you drive slow. What's fun about 60 MPH? At 72 MPH I can drive maybe 210/215 MAX. I made myself some notes for long distance travel. Maybe you will find something useful. Good luck! Leave at 100% full charge. It's a...

    Supercharger - Ann Arbor, MI

    I've used this supercharger twice now and both times noticed the charging rate is lower than what I've seen at others. Example: I saw 210 mph and about 200 amps... while others I have seen 333 mph and about 270 amps. Anyone else noticed this? Is this location a bit slower than some others?
