Yes, my thought as well. Honestly I was thinking of using a shop a bit over an hour away that was recommended to me to do the coolant bypass assuming it was still in OK shape, then it occurred to me reading this and the other thread that wait, I have a month left on warranty, see if it's...

Thanks for that video, certainly an easy check. I have to find time and will look into proper jacking/jackstand points before I lift it. Wish I had access to a lift, might see if someone local would be willing to put it in the air for me to do this.

The drive unit/battery warranty on my 2016 runs out June 18th. I've already scheduled service for June 5th, doing the MCU-2 update and inspect/service sunroof. Do you think if I ask them to inspect the LDU for this issue, they will do so and if they find coolant evidence will replace it under...

Yes, mine is a P90DL with ludicrous. As I looked, first while I decided I preferred the facelift it wasn't a definite, for the right car right price I would have gone old style, they do look great. Then, there really were not many around, I expanded my search to include some plane flights and...

I was making the same sort of decision before I bought mine about a month ago. To me the 50 k miles isn't all that much of an advantage over one with say 80k, the 30k price seems very high based on what I looked at. You should find that car or the P90D for under 25 I think, if it is updated to...

Really, that surprises me. My quote shocked me when I got it, figured a non-performance model would have lower rates.

That cost you a bit more than I expected, but had only had a few discussions with people about it. My 2016 sounds fine but I haven't yet checked for coolant evidence, have only had it for less than a month. I assume a 2016 LDU replacement would be similar in cost to your 2013?

I can't offer direct experience, haven't been in a Plaid yet. But enjoying my new to me Ludicrous S immensely. I think you know that when you ask people "should I get the incredibly fast car or just the fast car" what nearly all the responses will be. :)

Thanks for the comments. I have done some driving in chill, did seem to extend range a bit. From what I understand chill mode doesn't "by itself" add range, simply forces more right foot restraint by limiting power. One of the things I plan to do is do some repetitive drives that I do each...

Well the drop in used Tesla's is pretty easy to see. It's why I own one now, a year ago I didn't like the pricing. Some feel this is a low point and they will rise again, I'm not so sure of that.

That 89 corridor needs EV chargers, maybe the smaller towns are not EV friendly but with Hanover and Lebanon just north, and people heading north and south to Burlington and MA, there should be something without having to go to the 93 Hooksett rest areas. The Dover location seems odd to me, not...

I don't have FUSC. I agree on autopilot, very functional and useful and reliable. I realized how much I'm a left of center driver when in the left lane once I saw how the S centers me in the lane. :) I drove quite a bit on local 35-55 mph roads yesterday, saw wh/mi in the 270-280 range...

Thanks so much for that recommendation! I'll contact them and see if I want to use them instead of the Beverly MA service center. I have to cancel and re-schedule my visit anyway. I do a lot of trips that are perfect for this car, 90 to 160 mile round trips. Most of these don't require...

I'm getting the MCU-2 upgrade in the next few weeks, was wondering if I ought to ask them to inspect the LDU. Seems like some say to not ask a Tesla service center too many questions, so not sure if I should. Or I could ask about getting a quote on a delete. Do service centers do the delete?

Definitely not worrying or stressed! Agree the car is absolutely amazing, I'm having so much fun driving it. It sounds like my numbers are not unusual based on the comments here, I was just wondering if I should be expecting lower power consumption but maybe not.

Thanks for the reply. Not many short trips, and I only look at consumption when I'm on something longer, set the trip meter to track it or track from last charge. Not much HVAC, hasn't been hot here yet so I tend to just use vent and maybe a little heat in the evening. Pre-conditioning -...

I've had my 2016 S P90DL for a few weeks now, have 84,000 miles on it. I'm thinking the battery has a fair amount of degradation on it, not the end of the world to me but I'm trying to learn about range, understand what I can do to extend it when needed. I have 19" wheels, Eagle Touring...

As a new owner, I read this and other tire threads with great interest. I didn't realize how significant a range factor the tires could be. The 2016 S I just bought came with Goodyear Eagle Touring 245/45R19, I'll look into a set of these Hankook's when they need replacement.

See his post #10 above.

Well I was really happy with my deal, so no complaints as a buyer about the drop in pricing.:) Having said that I tend to agree with you. I get it that a non-EV person might go into the battery failure mantra, but you'd think people who do the reading and look at used ones would learn that while...

I'm not that well versed in the credit. I did buy from a used dealer, the guy is also an enthusiast and super helpful which I really appreciated. I get it that Tesla and dealers won't pay what it's worth, kind of just how the car industry works. But if you can't sell that for over 24k I'll be...

In my case I'm AP1 and warranty runs out 6/18/24.

I paid $24,500. I thought it was a great deal and feel even better about it as I've put miles on the car and so far so good. I'm going to do the MCU2 upgrade and a few minor cosmetic fixes shortly. When I was looking over a year ago, I was turned off by the used prices, just seemed like too...

Funny, that question occurred to me while driving, how do you get to the jumper pack? Thanks for this!

Congrats, I'm a new owner as well, picked up my P90DL a few weeks ago with 82,000 miles on it. Couldn't be happier so far. Your #1 and #10, I guess these are probably true for all first time L or P owners, it's acceleration I've certainly never experienced, nor have most people. The few...

I'm feeling out my range and level of degradation, just bought my S with 82,000 miles. I first thought maybe 12% or so, after some longer drives I'm thinking more like 15%. While I certainly wish I had a bit more range (don't we all) I have done enough reading to know there's no way the...

Really appreciate the info everyone. I know these are newby questions but we all have to start somewhere. Loving the car so far, feeling out the range to get a better rhythm of when I need to charge.

What would the jump starter be used for?

Thank you for all that, the mobile connector was the piece I wasn't aware of. So many things to learn as a new owner! Got it on extension cords, I was aware of those details. As you suggested, I plan to have a 50' 12 gauge, already have one at home I can use. From the driving I've done so...

New Tesla owner, bought a 2016 S. Curious in reading a bunch of threads about charging and adapters - I think I have a pretty good idea now of what to carry for adapters, but I never see a mention of any sort of cords besides a regular 120v extension cord. If you find a place with a 14-50...
