Right you are. Another NAV failure. Couldn’t make 323 in my P85D either.

Turned out not too bad. Gallup was in fact back on line when we got there (although the Nav system, Tesla website, and roadside assistance all continue to report it out of service). Charged up to 95% and made the jump to Flagstaff so didn’t see Hollbrook. Just more “bad communications” and...

Don’t try to cross NM/AZ on I-40for the next week. Tesla has taken down BOTH the Gallup NM and Holbrook AZ super chargers for “scheduled maintenance”. WTF Tesla ! I’m halfway between Albuquerque and Gallup when the Nav goes nuts (when Tesla disabled Gallup). Impossible to make the jump...

Yeah, how about an update on the one-million robotaxis. Must be a few around somewhere by now, he’s only got a couple months left. Little did we know he would make them *invisible* ... Poof ... mind blowing. Or the factory revisions required to “produce cars with no steering wheels” in 2021...

History teaches that your expectations could not possibly be low enough ... prepare for disappointment.

1. Do not SUMMON while stoned. Even ELON knows this. 2. File an insurance claim and have your car repaired. Watch as all of our insurance rates go up. 3. Don’t buy flakey vapor-ware features from Tesla (at least more than once ... many of us have learned this the hard way).

Just wait, your time is fast approaching ...

Well done Hank (and WK). My P85D+ awaits a future organ donation from an untimely Tesla death. WK, Put me on your waiting list in case another “perfect” 85 (or 90) pack falls into your hands. yak

I crossed shopped the GTR and bought the P85D based on the same claim. After all the Tesla BS I wish I’d gone the other way!

Yet another lame implementation of something my phone does WAAAY better. Sigh, why does Tesla waste its time on re-inventing this *sugar* and just get on with screen mirroring from capable and up to date mobile devices?? Lousy browser, calendar, nav, podcast player, sketch pad, antique Atari...

I’m now 2 for 2 in these contests. ... I have a lovely MS mug on my shelf somewhere from the last one. Guess I should hang out my shingle as a consultant/analyst. Just don’t ask me where the stock is going ! Troy, Thanks for making this so easy. Was fun. yak-55

“But this one has 11!”

Yes, and for the advancement of the COUNTRY let’s have the government pass laws to set the price of EVERYTHING! (or at least only the GOOD things!)

Bill, I hear there is a new Roadster on its way. Reportedly has a BIG battery. ;) yak

They’ll eventually do a handful so Electrek can write a fawning article about promises kept ... then it will be discontinued in the face of ‘overwhelming demand’ for higher optioned (priced) variants. It’s the S40 unicorn scenario, Part Deux. Good luck buying one.

Had this exact experience 2 weeks ago ... except it was a case of beer. Perhaps my car has a problem ... “Flash, have you been drinking again?”

Sorry about that. Remain calm and drive on. For full recovery I prescribe two P85D blasts to 80 (ish) - do not take with timing gear, and a hot lap in the Maclaren. If that doesn't restore equilibrium, I'll make a house call to test and adjust your equipment myself.

Adaptive cruise control is "motor Full Self Driving" ...

Not sure what the fault in the charger was, but the SC was clear that such a fault was the root cause -- and replacing the charger did solve the issue. That it was "a blown fuse" was speculation on my part, based on the fact that the "faulty" charger worked flawlessly with 240VAC input, and...

Quick followup ... SC confirmed the issue, replaced the (single) on board charger and the issue resolved. Reasonable assumption that it was the fuse referenced in posts above ... and that Tesla doesn't want techs working on HV charger internals ... safer to have the entire LRU (charger) swapped...

Nope, nothing but Florida sunshine here. No car washes, not even a puddle.

I got this error and symptom after attempting to supercharge last night. Fortunately I had sufficient range to get home and charging from 240VAC here still functions. SC indicates (after viewing the logs) that a fuse in the DC charging circuit is blown. Not sure why -- perhaps a malfunction of...

Curious to know others experiences here. I have a late 2014 P85D(+) and recently had the 2year scheduled service completed, which included replacing/flushing the brake fluid. I have noticed since the work was done that with moderate to strong sustained effort I can push the brake pedal to the...

^^^ this !

Sadly my car is at the service center. May bring the loaner Model X, maybe someone can share the finer points of living with the FWDs.

Two years is beyond the event horizon in the Muskian reality distortion field. Its not that he's bad at these predictions, they are physically impossible in his world. Poor guy. Only funny that so few have trained their neural networks to recognize the problem ...

I am going to try to attend also (although, to be honest, I have had that intention before and never made it. Possibly because 6:30am is not my finest hour). I'm a long time lurker/follower of the "Tampa regulars". Would be nice to meet you IRL.

Mine is an early one with the firmer ride and 19 inch wheels (somewhat smoother than the lower profile 21's). I love it, but YMMV. (Sorry, no direct experience with the Merc SL to help you ...)

Test drive them both, then decide.

It's true that they get the cash (now) but it also creates a LIABILITY for them (since they must eventually deliver you a car) the production of which will consume all of that cash (and more) before you pay the balance and take delivery. Investing in the issued securities does not create any...

Agreed. The more specialized the vehicle the less rational to reserve at all in my mind. I doubt they will be building hundreds of thousands of these. For this money, lets at least have complete specs and a committed timeline. For me personally, a test drive will be required. Feel free to...

+1 P85D+ owner and sports car enthusiast. I haven't been impressed by the handling of any Tesla loaner (all newer than my car).

This has been my experience, and response as well. As to the business model, this is just business in immature markets - as long as there are many more potential (future) customers (big TAM, see M3 reservations...) there is no need to care about current customers ("we already have their...

Sadly I had this same experience in the year end rush in 2014 (in Tampa). Like you I eventually got to talk to a human at the SC and was promised a replacement temporary tag by mail in 2 days. To my pleasant surprise, what came instead (via FEDEX) were my plates ! Hope you have as much luck ...

They are desperate to move iron ... typical auto company behavior. Can't believe they would do this damage to their margins and their (past and potentially repeat) customers if they had any other choice. Look for negotiated pricing and commissioned sales associates in leisure suits next ...

Rookie mistake (and certainly understandable) bashing the international in the press when they are facing NRLB charges. Elon needs help from professionals who have been there and done that. Successful tactics need to be focused on the workforce, and what is legal is subtle and important...

Hmmm. Great to hear. On behalf of many (or at least me), heartfelt thanks to @azdryheat for respectfully holding Tesla accountable. Special kudos for vicariously representing us all and rejecting any selfish answer papered over by an NDA. Good for him (her?), Tesla, and all of us! If your...

Definitely SILVER.

A good start here can be found here .... A little spreadsheet trying to explain/conceptualize why things are the way they are

Forever. But you'll never buy one. The base model will be "discontinued due to lack of demand" long before any are delivered. It's the Tesla upsell.

Yep

Actually, not much !

The engineers designed a collision avoidance assistance function, then the lawyers go a hold of the text.

Jon, Thanks for posting. I'm hoping you can provide a further clarification. I understand that cell aging, including the effects of frequent fast charging, will cause an increase in internal resistance, and thereby reduce the charge rate that the battery cells will accept (for a given applied...

Perhaps it is such a beehive precisely because they refuse to step in with accurate and complete information.

I doubt we will hear from @JonMc on this one. Not after the misleading an embarrassing response to the power limit counter discovery. He's had his "Let me show you how stupid I think you are" moment. Similar to JB's baloney blog about horsepower promises unkept (Tesla All Wheel Drive (Dual...
