Make sure pedal confusion doesn't come into play. But I did have an accelerator stick to the floor in an early 5.0 Mustang, With its small brakes I was not able to brake hard enough to stop the car accelerating, I ended up turning the key off but then I locked the steering wheel. I had to...

Ok, with this scene alone you made me watch this. Not enough Tesla's in the story.

I do not believe that no computer would be working in the car. The FSD computer and the infotainment system are designed to be "easily" altered externally. My scenario is where functions are written into Tesla's software and alters the code to control car remotely. Any manual inputs of steering...

Hypothetical fictional story: AI takes over and alters software to take over Model Y completely. Is it possible to disable the FSD while in the car like pulling a plug somewhere from inside the car and continue to manually drive the car after pulling plug? Assume all normal software overrides...

I think the Bridgewater incident was a couple of weeks earlier too: around 12/31/2019 https://www.wcvb.com/article/two-massachusetts-state-police-troopers-injured-in-separate-crashes/30366770

21K miles later mine only seems to spins half way now and a lot less frequently. It does not spin any at some of the places it would always spin at before. I recently upgraded to 2020.48.12.1 and haven't tried to see if the half spins still happens.

My 1:64 order is now delayed until May 1st.

CGP Grey video: Driving a Tesla Across The Loneliest Road in America

For peace of mind, whenever I park with a slight hill I push and hold the parking stalk for a few seconds. A brake indicator lights up on the instrument panel. I've had a non-Tesla stick shift car roll on me before...

Car Tech 101: How to charge an electric car while demystifying the tech | Cooley On Cars Questionable comments made in video: 0:48 EVSE = Electric Vehicle SERVICE Equipment -- not ev-SUPPLY-E -- although I did see some sites referring to EVSE with Service 2:10 Level2 = 90kW - so there...

It does shows up for others in non-classic cars. Thread I started on this: Spinning Navigation

I drove home: CPO purchase and driving 2,100 miles home If you are 800 miles from Seattle is the pickup in CA? Then look for threads about CA sales tax as you can't always get that tax back when you register it back in WA. I had to pay an extra 10$ for VA inspection fee which included a...

There is also demand cost that is charged to commercial customers that residential rates don't normally get charged (yet). These demand charges are not just in WA. Basically commercial customer will pay a rate based on highest kW demand for a period. I didn't see how long PSE states this peak...

I was able to get 58mi/hr @ 80amps when using a destination charger. Reference: Supercharger - Green Bay, WI

Has anyone had their navigation on the dash spin? Mine does sometimes. Usually taking off from a stop going straight. And I am NOT doing donuts going down the road :) Version 2018.39.7 9736c9b I had this happen on a few times in a previous version earlier this summer while driving down...

I had a CBR600. I pulled up beside a Vette in a double left turn lane onto an on-ramp in my own lane. I wasn't even thinking of racing as I just road 2 hours in rain and the road was still wet. I took off normal on the bike, quick for a normal car. The Vette tried to beat me up the on ramp to...

You loose an hour, time-zones. I don't see how you can average 78 mph (1100/14). Google route shows 15.5 hours and a better route planner shows at least 4 hours charging (no wind, charge start at 5%). It wouldn't be a stretch to go 110% speed limit and save an hour but you are still looking at...

I was there on June 24 @ ~8:30PM in stall 1A - it started at 114kW but it dropped down to less than 50kW within 5 minutes. Was at about 25% state of charge in my P85 after driving 500 miles that day. Left to check in hotel and eat and came back on 2A at around 10PM and didn't see the fast...

The advisor I spoke to thought that there was something different between CPO/New but wasn't able to locate anything specific they could give me. Their manager is suppose to call me back...

I had my P85 in for a warranty repair. The charge port door was fixed quickly at no cost. When I brought the car in I also said that the power brake booster was noisy. I have seen this is a known noisy condition so I didn't think Tesla would do anything with it but wanted to be make sure it was...

@Bjorn had a video with the slow supercharging problem in his X - #10 in his summary of issues (Time at 10:10) He had a work around but he doesn't state if it was ever fixed. I remember another video when he was demonstrating this but I wasn't able to find it. In his S he had video on...

I've been charging over a year with 120V pulling 12amps with no problems. I schedule it to start charging after 9:30 PM and schedule to turn off at 6 AM with visualTesla. I get up to 30-40 rated miles a night. Days when I know have a longer excursion I'll bump up charge to 85% and charge...

There will be normal wear items with that many miles to check. CV joints and all suspension bushings. These aren't usually deal killers even if they need replaced. My BMW started eating half shafts at about 140K miles. Does it have air suspension - this is another potential costly wear item...

Could you use the car's web services and have the car temporarily turn off charging? Tesla Model S JSON API · Apiary

With the recent cold, my back seat passengers in my Model S were complaining that the face-level vents were not blowing any air. The rear windows were fogging up quite a bit too. The foot-level vents were blowing warm air. After playing with controls at home, the only way the face-level vents...

I received "Systems Are Powering Up Message". Rebooting resolved it but it took a lot longer to register holding down the 2 scroll wheels on steering wheel than I've done previously. I was probably a good 45 seconds of holding the buttons before it rebooted. (late 2014 Pre-Autopilot, Firmware...

Mine is also named Tessa but I also appended my license plate number so I don't have to remember it for parking/hotel check-ins - just look at the app and there it is.

I have a '14 P85 CPO and after just driving a 3,000+ mile trip I got a loaner 100D. I felt my P85 had more power than the 100D in acceleration but the tires do spin a lot easier. The rear cup holders in 100D where a hit for my kids and seats both front and rear were also more comfortable -...

Two weeks ago I charged at Hillside Inn of Ephraim @ 80amps getting 58mi/hr. Wilson's Restaurant & Ice Cream Parlor is next door with very good root beer and ice cream. We also watched sunset over the harbor. I also pulled 4mi/hr @ 15amps overnight in VRBO we stayed at for driving around...

With @BrettS 's S60 planner is showing around 9-10 hours charging. Bigger batteries charge quicker and don't need to go as full. My family is also debating taking our first family trip in our P85 for a 1.5K+ mile each way trip. The teenage kid's biggest concern is back seat comfort (I've got...

I'm currently getting 3.4 mph with 119V pulling 12 amps. I can get 5.0mph@116V pulling 16amps. My plug is dedicated 20 amp 5-20R outlet with about 35 ft long wire to panel. This is when battery doesn't need heat/cooling. Numbers are from Visible Tesla. My outlet gets warm (~55C) so I normally...

I got my P85 CPO in DC and drove it back to Denver. Colorado Sales Tax was included when I paid at Tyson's Corner Service Center where I picked it up. It had temp tags from VA and I had to license it myself when I got back to Colorado. CPO purchase and driving 2,100 miles home As for driving...

Great suggestion - I'll put down some painters tape. @Jrogville I changed up to 90% over night and VisableTesla stated it reached 231.9 Rated Miles @ 90% - (car displays 232RM). VisableTesla numbers: 231.9 Rated, 207.0 estimated, 268.3 ideal @ 90%

I must have remembered wrong number. Instead of 221 I should have wrote 231@90% which matches where it is currently sitting at 188 RM @ 73% ~= 258RM @ 100% which is <3% loss from 265.

No, I did not purposely balance my cells. I picked it up and started driving home right away. I've got to about 96% once, based on what @Bjorn was saying in video my batteries are probably fairly balanced already as my 90-96% didn't take too long. My 90% at home is getting 221 Rated Miles. Yes...

Here is my story of purchasing a CPO 2014 (Oct build) P85 from Tesla. Summary: Bought my first EV in DC and drove it back to Denver using 18 Superchargers traveling 2,100 miles over 4 days with snow and some strong headwinds. I primarily used Tesla Inventory Search to search for available...

One thing a early P85D may have is the Next Gen back seats. I had 2014 P85D 85 kWh Performance Model S 5YJSA1H24FFP67300 | Tesla for a week as a loaner and it had next gen rear seats. Everyone in my family thought they were more comfortable than my 2014 P85 classic seats (next gens in front...

Last year, mid July we went there. My kids 9 & 12 loved going to Watiki Indoor Waterpark in Rapids City, especially the super bowl in there. Stayed at hotel there and did waterpark first thing Saturday morning then went to Rushmore, stopped in Keystone and then went to Devil's Tower and finally...

Nice youtube by CGP Grey - be sure to watch after "The End" (3:20 )

I was wondering what kind of interest there would in collectively getting pictures and creating custom Tesla car poker cards? My friend did this with his car club and they have their club logo on the back of the card with 52 different cars with their car's owner name model/year and location...

So based on PVWatts Calculator estimate of average hours you are paying around $.04 to .06 /kWh to produce your own electricity. This article: With potential solar energy boom on the horizon, Alabama lags behind states Alabama also credits excess production at $.03 to .04 /kWh so you still may...

How did the online forums influence your analysis of TSLA or other stocks?

Couldn't you just have contact plates exposed on bottom of car instead of inductive coils with less energy loss. Have a infrared beam communication to keep it safe to engage. And to keep the contacts clean put a sliding door over them Maybe put them in side of car by the tail light and just have...

This sounds like a connection/grounding issue. Intermittent problems and resolved after movement (towed) or getting in/out of car. This can happen with any car. Locating connection problems can be very tough. Measuring resistance on connections can locate them. The easiest way is to start moving...

I would say it is Neal Stephenson’s Model X , the plate in front says 7 EVES
