    Dropping numbers on projected range

    A couple of years ago my Tesla’s computer was so corrupt it had to be replaced. I noticed at that time my energy readout became erratic. Now it’s happening again. Notice the two photos where a digit is blank. Seems this can’t be replicated at service center. I suggest you document with...

    Windshield Specks

    I have s motorcycle windshield with over 259,000 miles and a 2014 Silverado windshield. Both are pristine. Here’s my 2015 Model S windshield. Is it a manufacturers defect? Should be replaced under warranty?

    Bike lane speed limit signs

    Florida is establishing bike trails statewide. The asphalt bike trails sometimes parallel the highway with speed limit signs of 20 posted. More often than not, my Model S will display the speed limit as 20 even when it’s actually 65. Anyone else have this issue please?

    Windshield

    I have a 2014 Silverado and a Tesla S Nov 2015. Both vehicles about same mileage (40,000). Windshield on truck pristine but like Dugan said Oct 15 I have the same problem. Is it some kind of glass coating or a manufacturer’s defect?

    Should EVs Make Artificial Sounds at Low Speeds?

    If I, 100% Deaf from birth can live to 70 years old without having to hear artificial sounds to survive, will be glad to be an expert witness in court to strike down any proposed artificial noise regulations.

    $16 million fine possible?

    Great news! I got this below response from Tesla Service Jacksonville. Apparently Tesla does read our forum. “I wanted to take a moment to offer our most sincere apologies regarding visibility of an alternate communication platform on our website. This matter is important to us at Tesla and...

    $16 million fine possible?

    Wells Fargo was fined $16 million by the Feds due to their communication policy with deaf customers. There are approximately 20 million Americans unable to effectively use the telephone due to hearing losses. ADA policy includes a provision that when a telephone is the only means of...

    Brake lights?

    When you use turn signals the display shows pop up turn signals. I wish there are pop up brake lights on the display as it is quite difficult to see brake lights on the car in the dashboard display.

    For 22,000 miles I'm at 259 Wh/mi. I like your idea of a firmware update!

    90D Range slowly declining

    FYI. 10,500 miles .... Stopped charging to 90% at 5,000 miles, charging to 80% and get 282 mile range projection. Steady at 282 for the past 6 months. I'm happy.

    Car Wash For Tesla

    I attended a Tesla owners meeting and one guy told me the Tesla badge behind the front wheel was ripped off by a car wash brush and it wasn't a warranty item. I could feel a gap between the emblem and the car body so you can be sure it isn't brush car wash friendly.

    Understanding the battery heater

    What's your 90%?

    90D with 2,600 miles 90% charge at 257. When new was 256. Had been dropping slowly over six weeks to 251 but went back up the past week. No updates. No significant temperature changes. The ONLY thing I did differently was last week I charged up to 95% one time only.

    90D Range slowly declining

    Interesting. At pickup Nov 12 had 90% at 256. Now, after 2,600 miles it is 258. It had gone down slowly to 251 until last week. No updates, no temperature changes, no driving modifications No rhyme or reason.

    What's your 90%?

    Mike Tuccelli | DECEMBER 28, 2015 This morning it's at 263. Three hundred miles ago it was at 253. Strange! It was 256 new. I wonder if it had anything to do with it but in "the old days" we were told to "floor it" to "blow the carbon out of the system". When I got my 90D in November I never...

    Powering home from Tesla

    Would it be possible for a software change to use Tesla battery to feed power into the NEMA plug during a power outage? With 90 KW available, it would be super to be able to run the refrigerator and lights during an extended power outage. In 2004 when we had four hurricanes in Florida I was...

    Tesla emblems problem

    Oh yes. All of them have that. That's why you don't ever use car wash with brushes!

    90D has a more dense battery?

    I was reading through the owner's manual and noticed the 85D and 90D are both exactly the same weight! Is it because the 90D battery is more dense and they can give out 5 extra KW with same weight? If 85 is heavier than 70, it stands to reason the 90 should be proportionally heavier than 85...

    Do not use automatic car wash!

    Today I attended the grand opening of the Tesla store in Jacksonville, Florida and there was an owners' reception. I was chatting with a guy and he said a car wash's spinning brush yanked off the T emblem (the one between the front wheel and front door) and he was told it was not covered by...

    90D Range slowly declining

    With the 90D -- With 700 miles it's consistent at 256 every time. Just FYI.

    What should my ideal charge percentage be?

    I picked up my 90D a few days ago and asked them about this. They say leave it at 90, period. I said what about crystal formation compromising integrity of the cells and they said it wouldn't happen and even not to worry about 100% if I had to maximize my range.

    When alarm goes off, live video on phone

    At least if someone backed into your Tesla you would at least have license plate. As for massive cash burn it could be an option to purchase activation? Just a thought. While led it's true you can't catch action on the side, chances are that the perpuators may walk away in front or rear of...

    When alarm goes off, live video on phone

    Tesla S has front and rear camera so why not Tesla update ability to activate both cameras and stream video to your smartphone so you can take pictures of perpuators? A $99 drone can do that! Insurance companies would love it as if someone keys or trashes your car, you have a photo or video...

    First drive!

    Picked up my blue 90D in Orlando and drove it home tonight! Range indicated at full charge at 90% had 252 indicated. After I got out of Orlandos congestion I activated TACC and was truly impressed with it smoothly staying in lane weaving in and out of construction sites and keeping seven car...

    Does Production Time Matter?

    I suspect that the assembly lines were halted for retooling to accommodate a change?

    Device to tell Drone from milling, clunk from thunk, ballon squeal from brake squeal

    What is a deaf guy like me going to do? This is giving me buyers remorse as I haven't picked up my car yet!

    100% drive unit failure rate??

    This scares me as I'm deaf and won't know if I have a bad drive unit. Are there other indications I should be aware of in lieu of not being able to hear a milling sound?
