No ideas about the horizontal adjustment?

Read quite a few times now how to adjust the height of the lights. But I noticed that they also can be adjusted horizontally by pressing the scroll wheel horizontally. Any thoughts on the correct horizontal position? I have to change the (vertical) adjustment every once in a while (twice since...

Here are my figures: Lifetime Nov. 2015 - Aug. 2016 Total distance 19905 mi Total energy 6103.9 kWh Avg. consumption 307 Wh/mi The upper line A was our trip from Germany to Norway this summer (3 weeks, all perfect, no hassle at all!): Summer holiday trip 3 wks: Total distance 4245 mi Total...

In a Tesla there is something new to discover every day! :cool:

Hi, yesterday I just noticed that the calendar app icon showed a "1" on its calendar sheet... It was the first time I realized that the current date is shown on that icon! Maybe you all know that, but for me it was amazing to discover it! I always thought this was a fixed image with a "21" like...

When I use EVTP for round trips like from A to B to A, it doesn't show SuC stops even if the total amount of kWhrs is 80 or 100... And I have set up a S 70. Why is that? Am I doing something wrong? Anyone else encountered that behavior? Cheers

Hi Dennis, that's quite an illustrative tutorial, thank you! I think I will buy one of these adapters. Useful during holidays, even if there is a sufficient SuC coverage, the next CHAdeMO might be much closer and so you can save valuable time. And, compared to the price of the car, the CHAdeMO...

Thx!

Hi, thinking about buying a CHAdeMO adapter, I wonder if the adapter fits into the trunk cavity? It's where I store all my charging cables and UMC and it would be great if the CHAdeMO adapter fitted there as well. Regards, Bernd

I thought that charging a cold battery usually invokes the battery heater? When I plug in the Tesla with cold battery, it draws the typical 16 amps (I have a 11 kW Type2 home charger) but the charging speed shown in the app at the beginning lies below 51 km/hr (which is the reading I get when...

Thanks Johan for your reply, so you are saying that even range mode uses the battery heater in very extreme conditions, but not as early as RM off? I will give it a try and see if I can get my consumption lower. My aim is getting below 320 Wh/mi, 300 would be great (186 Wh/km)... This would...

Hi, I get quite high energy consumption while driving in cold weather. Example: 41 mi, 40 F, 65 mph mostly highway => 340 Wh/mi. Sounds not that high, but: That is with cabin temp set to 66 F and seat heater set to 1, so no too comfortable... The car is pre-heated for about 10 min which is...

1) Better is the enemy of good... 2) Jaguar is past, Tesla is future. 3) You will never waste any more minute of your life breathing filthy air at the gas station. 4) Every morning you will start with a fully charged vehicle. Every. 5) When it's time to recharge after 2 hrs drive, enjoy a coffee...

I miss the cold weather package, too. But I bought a pre-produced car from the pool so I could't change anything. I really love the interieur package (which was kind of a compromise, first I didn't want it, but it was too tempting to see a pool car which had ALMOST my desired configuration)...

Hi, I'm not a java specialist nor do I know too much about java-on-android issues, but is it (in theory) possible to run VT on an Android phone or tablet? Did anyone try and manage to do that? Thx

If the energy app pops up and the yellow triangle appears at the top end of the power scale just to vanish again a few seconds later, that means that the power train has just limited the amp draw from the battery in order not to exceed the maximum. This maximum amperage draw highly depends on...

Any idea where this obvious periodicity within the 96 brick voltages comes from? Different voltage drops due to different brick positions within the pack repeating in a regular order? This could explain the "balancing" at the top: When charging current is reduced, voltage drop is reduced as...

Hi guys, thanks for the replies and the great X-mas illuminated "Germany" Tesla picture! :biggrin: I did one small modification so far: an additional rubber seal at the front edge of the frunk hood to prevent water from flowing into the hood latch and to keep this area cleaner:

S 70 non-D, approx. 80 % highway, 70-80 mph, 30-50 °F

Here are my figures (discharged kWh): 5633 mi 1979 kWh 351 Wh/mi (Nov 15-Feb 16) Room for improvement...

Has someone a lifetime Wh/mi using the charged amount of kWh instead of the kWh used by the car? So that we come to a gross average Wh/mi (sort of well to wheel efficiency, ignoring efficiency of kWh production). A bit difficult because of the kWh you charge away from home (Superchargers). But...

Hi Josh, thanks for the info, and that's post no. 4 ;-) Regards, Bernd

Thanks folks! Actually I am from Mainz. Hopefully I can use a signature and avatar soon...

Exactly my perception, too! I ordered a S 70 last October and got it less than 4 weeks later since it was an already built new car from the pool. Didn't want to wait and decided to go for this readily configured and produced car. It wasn't exactly the options I wanted but very close... AP was...

Hi! My name is Bernd and my family (wife and our 10-year-old son, big Tesla fan, too!) and I live in the mid-west of Germany (near Frankfurt). I started thinking about buying a Tesla Model S back in October 2015, triggered by the VW scandal by which we were affected with our Polo Diesel. We...
