    2016 75 humming and headlights turning on and off

    Hi, my wife noticed an issue while our S was parked in the garage. For the last couple days (that we are aware of) a hum has been coming from the front of the car and then the headlights have been turning on and off. Twice on the right, then a short left followed by a long left. Then the...

    Is the Bio Defense Mide worth it?

    Thanks for the feedback all. I'm in the northeast and my wife does suffer from seasonal allergies. It sounds like it can be effective for that. Thanks again!

    Is the Bio Defense Mide worth it?

    Saw the recent news about the $500 retrofit for Bio Defense Mode available for the newer fascia Model S and X. I've also seen some threads of folks installing their own HEPA filters. For those that have the Mode, do you think it is worth the upgrade? I know it may come down to personal...

    Window won’t go back up after opening door.

    Happened to my rear passenger window. I called Tesla and they had me do the window calibration. It worked for me.

    For those that paid for 60kWh to 75 kWh upgrade, was it worth it?

    This was on my 60 RWD in March.

    Tesla is ripping off customer?

    He said he ordered end of March (30th of March). Orders don't count in financials until they are delivered. The timeline doesn't align to an end of quarter push, because he never would have received it by the end of the quarter.

    Tesla is ripping off customer?

    This may be the tin-foil hat speaking, but a brand-new person posts the same content to both TMC and the Tesla forums riddled with basic English grammatical errors (like conjugation, not typos from hurried typo) and then doesn't respond back. I think the OP needs a screenshot of his config page...

    Will RWD go extinct too?

    What makes it a P besides the larger motor? Suspension? Software? Could you ever make a 75 a P75?

    Poll - 60 to 75 upgrade

    I did the upgrade yesterday (60 RWD) and charged to 100% for the first time overnight. Rated range was 242 miles.

    For those that paid for 60kWh to 75 kWh upgrade, was it worth it?

    @Snerruc thank you! It only took 66 posts to have the question answered. :):p

    For those that paid for 60kWh to 75 kWh upgrade, was it worth it?

    @JasJ, I think I would have to agree with you. I hope that Tesla realizes this and comes up with a solution that satisfies both them and its SW-limited 60 kWh customers.

    For those that paid for 60kWh to 75 kWh upgrade, was it worth it?

    @croman I was hoping the scenario you mention would play out, but not sure if they are just too focused on AP2 / Model 3 to look back on the 60. Was the 40->60 price ever changed?

    For those that paid for 60kWh to 75 kWh upgrade, was it worth it?

    @BerTX right on with all that you have said. I never had the additional range wish until this winter. Travelling at highway speeds in 15 degree weather really impacts range.

    For those that paid for 60kWh to 75 kWh upgrade, was it worth it?

    Hi all, I have a refreshed 60 kWh Model S, and was thinking of possibly taking the jump to update to the 75 kWh. I've read some threads saying that the 60 kWh configuration (actually 62 kWh usable) is a great value while the 75, not so much. I also really appreciate the lack of significant...

    Some exciting observations about the new Model S60 (software limited 75 kWh)

    Interesting....I wonder why I'm seeing a consistently lower "rated" range since the fall. If it bounced around it would be one thing, but it was a consistent number in fair weather, and it's a consistently different (worse) number in colder weather.

    Some exciting observations about the new Model S60 (software limited 75 kWh)

    So someone who has historically driven at 500 Wh/mile will have the same "range" at 100% SoC as someone who has historically driven at 200 Wh/mile?

    Some exciting observations about the new Model S60 (software limited 75 kWh)

    I picked up my S60 in July. By the fall I was averaging ~275 Wh/mi over the course of 7k miles. A full charge was giving me 212 miles. With the winter months, my average has risen to 290 Wh/mi and a full charge is giving me 208 miles. I'm guessing that once the warmer weather arrives the...

    I think my AP needs a pair of sunglasses

    Yes same thing happens to me. the lower sun angle doesn't help I think

    Superchargers super-slow

    Ok, I thought it was just me. The other night I stopped at the Dedham' MA supercharger (I stop there maybe once a month) and I was at ~40-50 kw charging. I have a refreshed limited 60kwh S, and that is a rate much lower than I've seen. it was about 10pm, I was the only one there, and battery...

    Firmware 8.0

    OK, me too. I thought I was just being paranoid (like the "less regen" threads that I've seen). But I did my normal commute yesterday and day and the AP was ping-ponging much more than before the update. I thought maybe it was the lower sun maybe impacting the camera (even though I'm driving...

    Pick up @Dedham, MA in a couple of weeks

    Nic, I am also in Concord and picked up my 60 from Dedham back in July of this year. I went with my (expecting) wife and they gave the standard swag bag (coffee mug, umbrella, pin) to both my wife and I. The Dedham crew has always been passionate, responsive, and helpful.

    Increased consumption in 8.0?

    I've seen that as well, and posted a thread on here wondering if it was due to the increased reliance on the radar. I have a facelifted RWD, so I do not get the benefit of the enhanced regen.

    How was increased regenerative braking achieved with 8.0?

    Any ideas why they didn't improve regen in the RWD models? I have a 2016 RWD S60 and didn't see anything about regen in the release notes in the car.

    Will Version 8.0 impact range and efficiency?

    Since I've received Version 8.0, I've noticed that my efficiency (Wh/mi) isn't as good as it normally is, which could be completely circumstantial. However, it got me thinking: now that the new functionality of Autopilot relies more on the forward-looking radar, I'm assuming more power is being...

    Temporarily saw "Car need service" after Chademo

    @rypalmer, was it difficult driving around Nova Scotia and charging? Was going to drive there next week from Massachusetts but nervous to do so with my new S 60. We're the L2s sufficient? I don't have the ChaDemo adaptor. Thanks.

    Some exciting observations about the new Model S60 (software limited 75 kWh)

    I picked up my new 60 last Wednesday and drove from Massachusetts to New York this weekend. At one of the Superchargers I saw over 300 mph charge at over 260A. Off the Merritt it was about 220 mph with amps the same. Was significantly slower when charging next to another (A/B).

    How do you know when someone uses your referal?

    Hank, not yet. I had my VIN assigned yesterday though! I will let you know when I get one (maybe not until delivery?).
