I agree that the switch is in the wrong position, but there doesn't seem to be any way to make it latch. 1. It's inserted fully, and even substantial force won't make it go anywhere. Its flush with the handle. 2. Could be... I can manipulate the thumb switch at the top of the handle to make it...

Sadly, even with force, I couldn't get it to work. :( I'll try calling the city, but I doubt they'll do anything, because it is a free station. I had thought that this was a problem with the J1772 adapter and not the station.

I rely largely on local charging in my hometown, which has a bunch of these ClipperCreek stations near my office. They look like this: All of these charging stations use a J1772 plug, which I connect to my J1772->Tesla adapter, which connects to my car. However, the way these plugs work is...

That's really weird. Maybe there's a problem with your card? I use Chargepoint on average 2x per month, and it has never failed to turn on from the first try.

There's not an official number that I'm aware of, but I can't imagine it'll be less than the Model S. The Audi in the article claims to have 500HP, and the P85D has that much in the rear motor alone. From Elon's "three dog day" announcement, we know that the Model X will make 0 to 60 in about...

Has less horsepower than a Model X, its most direct competitor, and starts at $120,000 (€110,000). Things aren't looking too good for Audi in this market unless they can come up with some solid advantages over the MX.

I think that's fully appropriate for when the vehicle is being driven by a valet.

I thought the Model S didn't have a transmission... at least not in the normal sense. Why would it need transmission fluid?

Valet mode is also supposed to limit the power output to prevent abuse.

I ordered on June 6th. It was in production for 31 days. "Preparing for Pickup or Delivery" for 8 days now. Still waiting for a chance to set a delivery appointment. The original pickup date was supposed to be July 1st. They're almost a month late, and I'm picking up directly from the factory...

Same thing happened with my 85D. Started production around June 18th. It was in production until July 19th. Still waiting for a delivery date, even though I live 10 minutes from the factory, and it's been ready for almost a week. We must have hit the lottery or something -__-

His post was removed, and we got this mod note: I'm on your side, Jeff, but it's time to calm down.

What have I done? :crying:

[/COLOR] I'm confused. Is there some recent announcement or decision on Tesla's part that prompted you to post this poll? And to answer your question, I'm pretty lukewarm about Tesla right now. On the one hand, they've been exceedingly cordial and helpful to me. On the other hand, they keep...

Not sure how this thread devolved into a discussion on the definition of "autopilot", but regardless of what the feature is called, this is 100% the driver's fault. Not even 99.9% -- 100%.

How are we even on page 91 of this thread? :confused:

It'll be released on Monday, December 28th, 2015. The last Monday of the year. :)

The weight should be about the same. Elon stated that the increased capacity is a result of a change in the battery chemistry; they added some silicon to the anode. Unless you're talking about a minor change on the atomic level, there won't be much difference in weight. The battery is only...

My 85D is still pending delivery (hopefully this week!), but these are the accessories I've pre-ordered and made appointments to install: * XPEL wrap on the front side only * Blackvue Dashcam (front and rear) * Key fob pocket from Abstract Ocean * Tire repair kit * Magnetic phone holder Still...

I was not referring to previous movies.

I dunno... those 25 miles would make the difference between range anxiety and comfortably arriving at my destination. Not all locations have superchargers nearby. This autumn, I'm driving to a destination that is 115 miles away from the nearest supercharger. The return trip to that supercharger...

The LaFerrari is a hybrid that leverages an electric motor to get that kind of acceleration. They were always going to use a British car for a Anglo-centric film.[/COLOR]

Why are people saying only 15 miles of extra range? I thought the S85 had 265 miles EPA to the 70D's 240? That's 25 miles.

There was talk of modifying the pano to eliminate the possibility of rainwater coming through it. I'm not sure if that was the only reason for the redesign.

Please take care to ensure your car is compatible before purchasing the roof rack. Link to Store Page.

Ah okay. Thanks for clearing that up. I had thought that the D-variant of each model simply had a duplicate version of the rear motor installed in the front. In hindsight, that doesn't make sense. :tongue:

Seems like you contradict yourself here... You're saying the P85D is just a P85 with an extra motor, but you said in your first point that P85 all the way down to S40 have the same rear motor... So then the P85D without the front motor = an S40? Where does the beefed up rear motor come into play?

You're comparing an ICE car's performance with a full-electric, which is apples and oranges. When I buy a car, I expect to be told the peak engine output. If you expect to see that at the wheels 100% of the time for any car you purchase, ICE or Electric, then I don't think there's anything else...

There you go; some actual data. You've gone and proven yourself wrong. First of all, this test was done before the OTA update that increased the P85D performance. Second, the Porche Panamera Turbo S is a 500lb lighter car than the P85D. Third, if the P85D really had only 555HP, then why does...

Funny enough, ICE-vehicle companies like BMW do exactly what you're railing on Tesla against. They advertise the power of the engine, not the amount of power received at the wheels.

I guess I'm "fan boy"? To answer your question: because the engine power is not 555hp.

If I had a shot at it, I would take the $3k upgrade in a heartbeat. It doesn't seem like a huge amount of money for a larger cushion against the odd emergency where you don't have time to go top up. I'm afraid that ship has sailed for my in-production 85D. With things being as they are, I think...

Yeah? 'cause 561 posts of complaining about how Tesla unjustly cheated you of the horsepower you deserve is supposed to build credibility? If you're a troll, you might be the most successful one I've ever seen. You play so fast and loose with logic and evidence that I can't tell anymore if I'm...

Considering that the P85D has proven notoriously difficult to dyno, I would love to see your multiple results showing that it produces only 555 HP as you previously claimed. On second thought, never mind. You've more than adequately proven to me that you're being disingenuous. I'm out.

Then I guess I'm not sure what you're complaining about. You fully understand that the kind of acceleration that the P85D has with its mass is entirely impossible if it were actually running at 555HP at the shaft, and yet you're whining that the dyno doesn't show the advertised power output. Did...

Perhaps you could brush up on your physics before you put your foot deeper in your mouth. The amount of energy required to attain a particular speed increases exponentially, not linearly. This is the case for any engine, electric or otherwise. Here's a real-world example with three different...

I don't know what you think that graph proves, but I don't see it corroborating what you've said. I would imagine that it's painfully obvious that at different velocities, you can expect different power output from the motor. That's the case for ICE vehicles as well, except replace linear...

Sorka, no matter how many times you say that, it's still a lie.

On the conference call, Elon Musk said it would be about a 15 mile increase in range.

I don't agree. Tesla delivered on their promise to boost acceleration with an OTA update, which was the 3.2 to 3.1 change. I think that heckling them for more free upgrades is unreasonable. If they were able to further increase performance without additional hardware, then I'm quite certain they...

I am upset by your misleading title. :frown:

Yeah, I was never worried about that being a possibility. Yeah, absolutely they do. Tesla even has their own financing arrangement, though I opted for a third-party. The amount of debt that I incurred is relatively small and doesn't worry me. I would rather have a car payment than dig into my...

I have a suspicion that somebody tipped Tesla off to this thread, because ~15 minutes ago, I received a call from the delivery manager who told me that there was no update (as suggested in AnOutsider's post below) and who offered me a loaner car. I am significantly happier now. :) I got a call...

I responded to that question here. To add further detail, I was told that I had to pay by wire transfer or cashier's check. Since one of my financial institutions is on the other side of the country, I didn't have the option of obtaining/writing a check on the date of delivery. I opted for a...

I was told that the car would be ready very quickly around early July. At the time, I wanted to guarantee that financing would be ready at the time of delivery, so I had the financial institution overnight the check to Tesla. I also have an issue where one of my financial institutions (where I...

I posted angrily on the official forums about this last week, but since then, I've reached some sort of resolution with Tesla. From the beginning: I ordered a Model S in early June, with the order being placed on 6/6/15; I was given a July (not late July) delivery window. Initially, my delivery...

Sorry to hear about your car, Ben. :frown: Hope it gets better soon. Will you let us know what the service center says went wrong? Also, I actually liked the choice in music, and I'm not even a little bit ashamed.

You paid $400 for an alignment. GJ. :rolleyes: I love the Model S, but the service agreement is ridiculously overpriced.
