    80 Amp wall charger potiential fire hazzard?

    I also own an infrared camera and I do heat testing, problem is it is very hard to test this unit as the cover has to be installed before it will work. I will take some photos tonight. I still content that anything requiring #3 copper cable should have a better connector PLUS the little metal...

    80 Amp wall charger potiential fire hazzard?

    Compression VS mechanical connectors Those very small one screw connectors seems very weak to me. They should have used double hole compression type connectors. If I install a new one this is the connector I will use. I have been in the power installation business for 45 years. I used to work...

    80 Amp wall charger potiential fire hazzard?

    I am thinking I just got a defective unit? - - - Updated - - - I tested those connection myself. I am 6 foot 2 inches and weight 250 pounds and I could not get them any tighter. Even their own electrician said he saw no problem with the connections.

    80 Amp wall charger potiential fire hazzard?

    I bought my Model S P85D in March 2015. Along with it I ordered the $750.00 wall charger. I had an electrician hook it up and since he had #2 copper cables he gave me a price break (instead of the smaller #3, recommend as minimum by Electrical code for maximum amperage). He placed it less than...

    SuperCharger - Denton, Tx

    Yes I20 is needed BUT more of a crisis is I10 between Columbus, TX and El Paso, TX? For that matter I10 all the Way from Houston to Casa Grande/Phoenix, AZ is WAY behind? Living in Houston , I can only go North or East.

    SuperCharger - Denton, Tx

    Everyone, and I mean everyone in Houston and Dallas EAST Texas ETC, who travels to Denver (or Colorado for that matter) takes route 287 through Wichita Falls and Childress. So those locations are really high on my list. Does anyone know where we can submit our "requests". :)

    Wiki Model S software/firmware changelog

    Do you mean more aggressive (IE slows the car down faster) or maximum number higher than the 60KW it does now.

    Wiki Model S software/firmware changelog

    Thanks for the reply. I mistakenly assumed these updates where tailored to each car (or had the ability to adapt to each car's makeup). That being said; is there some way I can adjust the range? I am sure I can get 250 miles per charge if I keep my speed down to the limit. That should give me a...

    Wiki Model S software/firmware changelog

    I thought they were going to improve the map routing??? before when I plotted Houston to Miami, it routed me north to Minneapolis then over to Chicago and then down through Atlanta to Maimi. NOW with the new 239; it routes me Northwest to Denver up to Wyoming then over through South Dakota AND...

    Firmware 6.2

    Sorry I do not own a stopwatch that is accurate to 1/10th of a second. - - - Updated - - - Or, I am a little netter than SPORT but not quite insane mode. :) Or. FAST and FASTER (quick and quicker?) - - - Updated - - - I too went form 153 to 188 last night/

    Firmware 6.2

    Bugs the hell out of me too. I too USED TO put my foot on the brake as soon as I get in. I am now re-training myself to put the seat belt on prior to touching anything. What I MIGHT do is buy one of those set belt extension things and leave it plugged in all the time, that way I never have to...

    Tesla Pickup Truck

    Diesel trains are really diesel generators that power electric motors to the wheels. I assume a truck would do well. Problem is Working trucks are on the go all day long. Personal pickup owners are mostly cowboy types that like big sound and gas burning. (I said mostly) I have a pickup that I do...

    Wiki What a 130 Grand car should have that the P85D lacks

    You missed the point of this entirely. I am suggesting ways to IMPROVE a great car, not change the world in one day. (I do not care about every OTHER 130K car)

    Wiki What a 130 Grand car should have that the P85D lacks

    That's what I mean... Why does it not auto close like the rear. I find I NEVER use the FRUNK, and I would most likely use it MORE if it were not so hard to close, as I like to back into parking spaces.

    Movies while you recharge? MP4

    Good answer, thank you. Great finally some decent support. Why should I have to carry and worry about an iPad when this car is an iPad on wheels? - - - Updated - - - Brings to mind yet another missing item... Internal hard drive (Solid State of course) at least 512G. For now my thumb drive...

    Wiki What a 130 Grand car should have that the P85D lacks

    Please add to this list whatever you think a car that cost $130,000.00 should have as a standard feature (or at least as an option): 1. Auto-volume radio (that adjusts loudness to speed or outside noise) 2. Rear window wiper blade 3. Center console that opens to store small items 4. Auto...

    Movies while you recharge? MP4

    I do that now with my iPhone 6 big screen... BUT for 130 grand, at least the car could have a rear windshield wiper. I am going to stat a Wiki of what this car is lacking...

    How does Tesla buy-back "set the market"?

    I think he is referring to worst case scenario. What if Tesla fails, and there is no service nor any new parts; AND what if your Tesla were to become immobilized and need one of those parts that no longer exist. This would mean you have a very large brick sitting your driveway.

    Movies while you recharge? MP4

    Will the system play any kind of movie format. Such as MP4. Since it does not have a CD or DVD player?? On road trips it would be nice to view a movie while you use one of the superchargers.

    Premium Sound - Weak Rear Sound

    I agree, the sound system in my new P85D really sucks. My other car is a Bentley Flying Spur Speed, with the Naim $10K, 1,500 watt, 15 speakers sound system. I have never found ANY system that compares to it, even after market setups. So that surely biases my opinion, but at least they...

    Premium Sound - Weak Rear Sound

    Hello All, I just got my P85D last week. I too ordered the upgraded sound system for $2,500.00 more. I selected every option available (except the Cold weather package, as I live in Houston Texas). I always do this with any car I own, I think it helps with resale in the future. Since I never...
