Knight Rider edition. Fully interactive conversational X Grok AI, with FSD level 5. I'd be sold if I could tell my car to go pick up the kids for me. Go take yourself to a car wash. Or go stop by Target with the groceries in the trunk. Almost everywhere will dump stuff in the trunk since covid...

You could be right. The first 5 minutes at 49A and then 5 minutes at 72A(46A) are both identical on power consumption from the breaker.There should hypothetically be at least a 720 watt difference. (There is only a 30-50 watt difference) Well, SC said there was nothing wrong with the hardware...

That makes sense in theory, but I've got behavior that doesn't make sense. It could be a board, but can 2 circuits do 49 amps? Why would it restrict the amps under what it's capable of, based on a user setting? Setting the limit to 72 amps at the location, charge will limit itself to 46 Amps...

When I used schedules of any kind, it does not automatically start charging outside the window. The app will notify about cabin overheat disabled when hitting 20, but will not use the grid at all or charge until the schedule.

How much is your breaker heat loss? My 100amp breaker with the 2guage thhn when charging the Model S at full 80 amps, only reaches maybe 80F max usually lower. My tankless water heater breaker heats up more, probably because that's only 8 gauge. (pic 172 is the tankless, pic 282 is the HPWC with...

Depends. If you don’t use any scheduled departure, or schedule charging, then it uses grid. If you do use them, then battery, even if plugged in. I really wish they had an option. It’s probably like that because of CA ToU rate plans. The programmers don’t know a world exists outside CA.

This thread had me thinking. Got the same offer. My 2016X responds differently at different chargers. The car can charge at 150kw for a long time and slowly taper, but not on the ones frequented by paying customers, my rate drops theirs won’t. even if that station is completely empty( and I get...

I always do 100% before a long trip. Especially if I’m traveling rt95 through DC VA. Traffic and road construction can suck 30% of the battery over what trip planner shows. 100% also gets me to the grandparents house and back without supercharging. I get home under 5-10%, but worth it on the...

On Tesla 0 range is really ~5% or so. I’ve driven 20 miles past 0. In all the charts I’ve seen, it’s more about how long does the battery sit at a low or high charge. it’s chemical reactions, which take time, they aren’t instant. If you charge right after the drive, when you get home, no...

Typically the max rate will be most efficient. Unless parked outdoors in 100+ heat. There is always the flat overhead tax, the smaller % of total power control circuits and coolant pumps consume , the more efficiency you get. Also, temperature can really impact efficiency too. I’ve noticed my...

800v is more about efficiency of transferring energy, waste heat, etc. most consumers probably don’t care about voltages, phase, power factor or waste heat, because they aren't (noticeably) billed for it. Commercial power is billed by KVA not KW, so they would care about energy losses and small...

in the beginning early adopters all used to say, the newer cars will always be better than current models. On board charging rate was a let down. 19.6kw -> 17.2kw -> 11.5 kw. While the drop from 19.6kw to. 17.2kw is only a 12% power reduction. Real world use, I went from an S charging. 65mph...

I've finally taken the vehicle in for service. The slower charging rate forced me to stop using the scheduled charging overnight. I also changed electric rates with the utility. I used to be on a time of use plan to charge the EV during cheaper off-peak hours. (The cost for charging on the EV...

I know this is an old thread, but just heard that the Royal Farms may be negotiating to relocate to either Hella’s Restaurant and/or lot right next to it. much larger lot than wawa . since RF was the original location, and they are a prime partner, anyone know if that was why Tesla cancelled...

Not yet. I emailed the SC, and they just wanted me to schedule a service visit. I'll let you know if I find anything out. If anyone has the same issue, and wants to message me their last 6 of the VIN, I'll forward it on to the SC with mine.

On December 12th 2022, the Model X p100D with MCU1 AP1, updated to 2022.8.10.8. Ever since then the HPWC charge rate has been limited to 11kw 47/48 amps. As if it was those models with the 48amp onboard charger. Even when the amps at the location is still set as always to 72 amps. I've done the...

Odd, mine also just quit after using it to charge a model 3 loaner. I've had 1 successful charge session for my model X before it stopped half way through the second charge with the same error. Internally the red led on the control board blinks once every second. Curious if anyone else does the...

Looks like only 3 of 5 stalls lit. I’m using the pull in charger. The fastest charge I’ve seen on my 2016 Model X. 157kw !!

Just checking back in, no activity there. I was curious, how it all works. Parcel 56 is owned by the lumber company. I expect they lease the use to the gas station. So does Tesla get a sublease through the gas station or directly with the lumber company? I saw that right next door Amoco owned...

Yes, if your MCU reboots, it’s not dead. The blinkers will work without sound during a reboot. They didn’t work with a failed MCU. I’ve had 2 MCU failures.

nope, just the MCU Replacement fixed everything. I have had plenty of other service issues, but this time just the MCU. The service center was very familiar with all of it already. I’m not the only one.

I had mine replaced under extended service agreement. Paid the deductible and the only option was a MCU1 which was a few weeks back ordered part. yes there is legally some minor safety issues. Yes, My mcu1 failed while driving. The turn signals stop responding. The outdoor/battery temperature...

Well, this software update bricked my MCU1. Black screen, likely the memory deterioration issues while downloading it. Appointment scheduled. Glad I bought the ESA 'warranty'

Thanks everyone, I've just wasted an amazing 2 hours reading this debate. What is there to say that hasn't already been said? It's sad to come face to face with broken promises and dreams. "Drive free on the sun forever", "Fast or Free". I did not see this yet, but the battery issue was...

I can call BS on the BS callers. In my case, 2016 X, the drivers door opened on its own a few times. It was always very unpredictable about opening distance or closing as it should. When people at work told me my door would open and close itself without anyone around and dinged their truck I...

My MCU1 issue was recovered with a double firmware restore. They did say it was temporary fix, no charge, goodwill. Hopefully they will have the preferred MCU2 replacements as standard by the time mine completely dies. Yes, I did purchase the 4yr ESA. Mainly because I've had 3 replacements of...

Did the SC tell you it was simple 12v power reset or a full failure? Or bad software push? My X just did this on Monday, and I dropped it off. Suspicious coincidence that my 50,050 mile warranty ticked over on Sunday afternoon and the very next drive on Monday morning the MCU is dead. Car...

Free, several restaurants in that area. All chains, like Gordon Biersch, Paladar, Jimmy Johns, Mission BBQ, P.F. Chang’s, etc. personally I like Union Jacks.

Am I interpreting Delmarva power correctly that “PC-piv” rates include mandatory 100% renewables? That’s interesting. Figured they’d market that on the stickers or site.

Not being an early adopter is that "luck". I've personally done my part of early adopter to help Tesla. My first Model S was one of those so called "demo" vehicles that was sold knowingly with a motor defect. Spent maybe 1 day on the showroom floor. My X was the 2nd 100kw in the region. Over the...

Some locations have just been under tremendous cost pressure. (Which translates to increased stock price value, investors love cost cutting). Some locations seem to be allowed more funding for a reason I'm not aware. Some have more skill in Model 3 repair. Some older locations with techs who've...

500 at 45mph epa is more likely. That translates to 400 at 75. If you never towed a trailer, or driven into 90mph headwinds in Utah, and seen that kw/m redline >900w/m. Or driven in an area with deep snow. That “drive really slow to reach your destination” alert pops up. In fact this past summer...

The new single cast frame should drop build costs substantially. However Tesla may be reluctant to pass that savings to customers, as it would make Model Y cheaper than Model 3.

Tesla has that effect. I recall my first test drive, for my birthday years ago. Zero intention of buying a car. Zero money to spend. After the test drive, my newer car felt so outdated, like driving a 1970's Ford. Figured out how to make the finances work, bought a Tesla that week.

I've owned Tesla since 2013, replaced the S with an X. There was a time I felt I would never buy another vehicle. The X is great, until you have to get service. If my X was destroyed today, Volvo XC90 is high on the list. #1 service can't keep up. in 2013 Tesla service was the best I've ever...

I can push the accelerator to the floor, drive unit appears to be in neutral (no hold). While the cluster shows drive. Pressing the brake, and clicking into drive a second time, the drive unit now goes into drive. Again, this is new after the last update, and I'm used to it now. The first day...

Now if only we can stop the unintended rolling backwards while in drive and pushing the accelerator. Started after the last software push. crossing fingers it's a bug quickly fixed.

The devil is in the details. The car is always acting as designed, just not as desired. All my unexpected accelerations are a result of autopilot 1 glitches. I've reported bug notes over the years, but never seen anything fixed. I've never been in an accident situation. Worst case, the backseat...

scheduled departure on 36.2.1. From the release notes. "Once your specified time is set, the car will schedule charging to complete before peak electricity rates begin (6AM) to reduce energy costs and ensure consistent regenerative braking and performance." After using this feature for more...

For new owners reference, Tesla Model S , used to charge over 65 miles of range per hour with dual charger option. The X was at 45 per hour. New “improved” models are limited to 34 and 30 respectively. The 3 gets 30. The lack of mass complaints, leads me to believe model 3 owners could care...

Yes, that is probably correct, although single pedal driving on older motors can be done, autopilot does it already. I wonder if they will ever spend time on it. Tesla’s cost cutting has driven focus on features for only the newest models these days. As far as weaker regen update, I have...

Sounds like you had an ideal tech experience. warning frustrated rant follows. <Rant> I can only relay my experience, not speaking for anyone else. When I had to schedule an appointment, the iPhone app didn’t work, iPad app didn’t work, Always some server error, or the app just crashes. The...

For the first time in 7 years as a Tesla owner, I recommended a few times recently to avoid Tesla vehicles until they get better either in quality or service. My friends and family get mad for me, and wonder why I'm not more upset about this or that. I may still be a Tesla hopeful, But they...

I have the 36.2.1 update on an X P100D. regen is weaker across the board, even factoring in the cold. ~50,000 miles on my odometer, so I'm used to the temp regen limits. Interestingly, my vehicle is missing the new regen hold mode. The service center said they have no documentation what the...

Just got my charge port fixed for supercharging speed. I was hoping to test it out.

when it worked it was smooth. The Tesla guys obviously had picked demo YouTube videos they knew worked reliably. Ones I tried were hit or miss. Fast forward, Today google has gotten very good at making device specific video html and reencodings to prevent playback issues on all types of hardware...

I would like to hear an honest explanation from Tesla about why older cars are not allowed to use video. Not that I’d ever use it much, but in my 2012 test drive model S YouTube mp4 videos worked just fine over WiFi back then. Using the web browser with Pandora audio and vevo music videos was a...

Ok, if this isn’t throttling, anyone recognize this charge pattern? I tested a 2% - 90% charge in mild weather at Annapolis this morning. Good news, old Model X p100d’s Can get 150kw. One other item to be aware of the radiator fan was only running until about 8:32am, then no longer needed to...

I haven’t paid enough attention, but do recall an interview some time ago with JB and Elon talking about ways to discourage locals from using the stations meant for Long distance vs urban. Throttling was one, to make it not worth their time to sit there vs charging at home. In my case, the time...

I guess being one of the first p100d’s my vehicle won’t charge at 150kw. But I cant get anything over 65kw at any stall here the few times I’ve stopped. Is the new 150kw tuned to M3’s or throttling locals?
