What is the purpose for having two pumps for the battery, is it redundancy or extra coolant flow.

Ive read bits and pieces on other posts about who Tesla uses for the cars data. With my new router I can see the location the data is coming from. I assume google api is the map and traffic info, bit any ideas on the rest?

For the few of you that have disassembled one, how is the liquid cooling set up? Secondly, this computer has the power of 10-15 mac pros, what would be the limitation on using a computer like this running a normal Pc or OS X interface.

Being from Houston it is highly unlikely that I see it in person, I saw on the Facebook page many different answers, does anyone know for sure the answer? Also looking for clarification on another issue- does range mode heat the battery?

i have been working with my local service center to fix an issue where computers in the car are staying in when they shouldn't be. We have gotten the car down to under ten miles per night loss. How much loss are you currently seeing on v8.0. I have a P85. I read a post from 2014 where someone...

Is anyone's Slacker radio down? I can't get connection through safari or the phone app.

How is the computer architecture in the Tesla laid out? I know there are computers for most subsystems as well as the internment cluster computer + 17" touchscreen computer. What kind of interaction do the main 2 computers have with the individual subsystem computers?

I am pretty sure, verified by a close friend with lots of time spent in my car that the sound quality is MUCH improved over 7.1. It seems the Dolby has been refined. The sound seemes much clearer too me. Anyone second this? I have the upgraded sound system btw...

How many computers are actually in Model S? From what I understand the instrument screen and the touchscreen basically acts as controllers to these other computers that perform specific tasks. How accurate is this?

How does the Tegra processors in the Tesla compare in speed to a Intel in a iPad or computer. I found the speed, but with this being in a different application does it change?

Elon tweeted that the fans could be made quieter by a new algorithm, how's this possible?

What are the non obvious differences between the cars, I sat in a 2007 911 turbo at a friends luxury lot and being a long time Porsche fan but non owner it had me thinking.

Is there anything preventing Tesla from implementing active noise cancellation. I feel like Tesla would be perfect for this type of system.

I've noticed the few times I supercharge my car the amperage stays around 150a and the cooling fans never come on much less the a/c chiller. Another owner plugged in next to me and his fans went to 100% almost immediately. I plan on running the battery down to 30-50 miles and go supercharge, to...

I have a P85 with 25,000 miles on it, I bought pre owned so I not certain about the cars entire maintenance history. I am headed to the service center to have them do some minor work, but I would like them to proactively look into some trouble spots so nothing will happen while on the cross...

Well I had a tesla fail last night. I had the headlights in on mode to see something in my garage before I went inside. Apparently I never put the lights back in auto so they stayed on all night <insert face palm here>. Luckily my car was plugged in so it didn't run either of my batteries down...

I washed my car today, and I was going to try something new so I got on my floor creeper and accidentally sprayed in the battery vents. So much sand and dirt came out. Since I found all that dirt I preceded to wash the dirt out of the rest of the car. To the point of my story, has anyone else...

Does the tesla pack use top or bottom balancing? Also does it balance while charging or discharging?

Do any P85 owners feel like the car slides around a lot in the rain? I can normally accelerate (nothing wild) and the traction control comes on immediately. I turned the traction control off and it got much worse just as I had assumed. However with the trac control off the front abs constantly...

Will anyone in Texas be attending the event? I will be going and would like to meet up with some owners for the event.

Is it normal for the charging to stop at different mileages? The night I got 7.1 it stops at 172 instead of 174 and tonight it stopped at 171 although I haven't changed the slider bar on the charging menu. Are some of the cells going bad? Should I call service? I may be overreacting but when the...

Do the Chargers work together when charging or independent of one another?

I learned last night that my model S that I got last month has never had an annual service before and that the previous owner pretty much neglected to maintain anything other than the 12v battery. I am going to have to buy new tires because the previous owner neglected to rotate, balance or have...

I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread for people to put all the images of model s guts for the tesla geeks like myself trying to learn more about how the car works.

What brand do you chose for replacement 21"?

I've seen one next to the brake master cylinder directly in front of the driver on my car, as well as 2 pumps located near the bottom of the car under the frunk. The leaked diagnostic info in the displays shows two pumps.

What is the norm as far as reliability and speed on the web browser? I have 3G and have considered the upgrade, but slacker works great on the 3G leaving only the web browser to improve. I have found the web browser to be awesome for games and time killing while waiting in parking lots.

Does anyone have an idea on the amount of contractors or the wiring pattern involved in the Model S. I noticed when I plug in my car the amount of clicks is more frequent then when I walk up to the vehicle to enter and then drive. I also noticed when I pre heated the car today (50 degree)...

As a new Tesla owner i would love to have owner meet ups in the Houston area (and beyond) to meet other owners, what is the best way to get in contact with other owners? Facebook, forums, etc. I just read a post and he left a business card in the other owners windshield, is this an appropriate...
