    Thank you! Excellent info I have a 2013 P85+ with 183K miles and the battery is getting weak. It charges 90% to 184 miles only and 199 miles at 100%. Still good for daily errands but a pain for long trips. So know I know I need to have $18K prepared 👍🏻

    Both displays went blank on my 2013 Model S. Have tried several resets and nothing (hard and soft) Can’t see how much battery, speed or even if lights or blinkers work. Has anyone experienced this situation? I’ve been investigating and could be because ATT stopped 3G service at the end of...

    75K miles and counting

    I bought my Model S P85+ Tesla in October 2013. It's been almost 4 years of happiness with my car. Amazingly after 75K miles it's just like new inside and out, except for for the regular dents of normal use. Battery degradation? When the car was new the battery charged to a max daily use of...

    How do I arrive faster on a long trip?

    Having superchargers every 150 miles is very convenient, and being able to charge at more than 300 miles per hour makes me wonder if it's better to drive fast and stop frequently or drive at 65mph as the navigation equipment suggest on long trips

    Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 vs Pilot Super Sport - Opinions Please

    I have the Michelin PS2's in my Tesla SP85+. I was expecting a short life with the tires as all low profile high performance tires, but I have now over 12K miles and the tires looks very well despite aggressive driving. I should easily get to 17-20K miles on my tires.

    Trying to understand just how far I can drive

    It all depends on how you drive. On my 8k miles and 4 months of driving I have learned that you should take out of the rated range 15%-20%. I drive aggressively with cold a/c, etc in my P85+ though. But even driving conservatively, (60mph) I've always consumed more energy that the rated range...
