I've got an V1 HPWC that charges at 80 amps on my dual charger P85D. It worked in a bulletproof fashion for many years. I brought the car in to replace a leaky LCD screen and they convinced me that the Infotainment Upgrade made more sense, so I did it. However, ever since I brought it home...

According to an article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Tesla has purchased land in Richmond to open a sales facility. With any luck, it would also include a service center! Of course, the Virginia Auto Dealers Association is doing everything they can to try to prevent it. Their first move...

My car is being towed to the service center and I normally check in on it during the drive to make sure it is making its way to uneventfully. Today, it is proving impossible. The app does one of three strange things, seemingly at random: 1) Reports a location more than two hours old, with...

I notice that the "what's new" link generally omits all the local forums, but for some reason it includes the "California Supercharger Locations" subforum which is part of "North America > California" Given that all local subforums are generally not part of the forum list, is this an accident...

There has been a lot of back and forth about Tesla removing the energy consumption dial from the center of the IC, with some members strongly opposed to the "demotion" to a side app. After driving 1,000 miles or so with the new firmware I discovered today that I actually don't even look at it...

I've read conflicting reports on P90D launches, has anyone with 7.0 tested the Max Battery thing? If not, consider this a call to action!

This guy has ridden in a beta tester's car (or perhaps driven it) and describes in detail how the alerts work when the car senses that it needs user input. There is second part yet to come. How autopilot works (part 1) How autopilot works (part 2)

Elmo lives in the same small town as his buddy Ernie. He always charges at night with his home HPWC to 80% and his daily commute generally leaves him at 30% at the end of the day, depending on how many errands he has to run in the evening and if he has to go to different studios during the day...

Ernie has relatively low energy consumption needs. He is able to charge his car every third day when he does his normal driving. He typically charges to 90% and recharges when he gets around 20%. He has a 40 amp charging station at home and lives close to a supercharger that is located in a...

In my hypothetical I'm going presume that a driver charges to 90% and is unwilling to discharge below 10%. If that affects your answer, just change the numbers in your head so that they charge to 100% and discharge to 0%. I don't intend for that to affect your analysis. Bert is a model S...

He started to hit some heat-related limiting at 1:41, but didn't get seriously choked down until about the 8 minute mark. This is from an amateur driver in pretty heavy traffic. Its far from super-car territory, but better than the 10 minute+ runs I've seen from the P85.

I found this quite interesting insight into some of the challenges with self-driving cars.

My house appears to have used 12 gauge wire for every branch circuit, although some are on 20 amp breakers (the garage, kitchen, bathrooms for sure) and others are on 15 amp breakers. However, every receptacle is a standard 5-15 -- nowhere in the house did they install any 5-20 receptacles...

So, I did a little detective work today with the City of Norfolk Planning Department and they were able to confirm for me that they have issued a permit for construction of a supercharger site at the Janaf shopping center. I then called the folks at the shopping center and they confirmed that...

Assuming I can be alone (not sharing a paired charger) and the supercharger is operating normally (not limited to 60kw), what would be the worst case scenario for getting a full range charge from a SOC near 0%? I've searched a lot of threads and have seen some data that suggest that going to...

When I got in the car to drive home from work this afternoon, the car popped up with a notification warning me that there were traffic delats of 28 minutes on my usual route from work. I never use nav to get home from work for obvious reasons, but the car clearly anticipated that home was my...

I was one of the "black hole" cars that entered production on 11/26 and didn't emerge until 12/16. Writing that doesn't entirely convey the degree to which I was obsessed about that delay. I refreshed the "Tracking P85D delivery" thread obsessively, scouring each new post in more or less real...
