joiuk0 | ¼ mile time of Model S Performance Raven with 2020.44? | Does anyone plan to do and report of a drag race with the latest software update which states that “In Launch Mode refined motor controls have increased your car s high speed power improving acceleration.” ? This should result in better ¼ mile time. It s already too cold and lockdown where I live and put the winter tires on too but it d be good to know what this improvement means. | AndrasHatvani | 2020-11-05 13:35:57 | 36 | gb90b81 | I m sure its in the 10s...... | malbecman | 2020-11-05 17:50:48 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
jy41nd | ‘Charging equipment reports error | So I m in the middle (literally) of a cross-county trip from CA to NJ and this error popped up in MY in New Mexico while super charger ‘Charging equipment reports error . And the ‘T on the charger port went red. I tried the rest of the stalls and ended up with the same error. Called Tesla they had me do a power cycle along with a reset. No fix. I did have enough charge to make it to another super charger but I had the same error on all stalls. Luckily designation charging works at a nearby hotel so I settled in for the long charge while I dealt with this fun challenge. After getting a bit of charge I decided to go back to the super charger and mess with it...you know unplug plug it back in hold buttons blow on it like a Nintendo cartridge do the dance for the charging gods. Success! It still fails to communicate with the super charger when it s initially plugged in but if I leave it in and press the release button on the cable it starts to charge with no errors. Has anyone ever had this error? | IIJackJackII | 2020-11-21 03:48:35 | 33 | gd0rf9u | Same issue. Same situation. Happened to be in Baker CA 2 weeks ago. Still not fixed.

96j2d5 | ‘Uncorking Model S | So I m in the UK and am about to buy a 2017 S75... Been in a few insurance websites and my registration kept coming up as S60. After contacting the seller it looks like this was originally an S60 that was ‘uncorked to an S75. Is there any difference between this car and a car that was originally purchased as an S75? I read somewhere that the S60s has a different warranty or was that for the older models around 2014? For those in the UK how do you go about insuring an upgraded Tesla? The insurance sites seem to have no concept of the car model changing once the cars been manufactured. Is there any disadvantage to buying this? Thanks guys | -ninjasaurus- | 2018-08-11 19:15:58 | 16 | e4121ht | The 2016 60s were 75 batteries that could be software unlocked to 75 for a price originally 9k in the USA then down to 2k after the 60 locked car model was discontinued. Uncorking was separate free for 75d cars that qualified. It lowered the accel from 5.2 seconds to 4.2 officially tho many people see high 3s. | ericscottf | 2018-08-11 22:05:36 | 13 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

What are these guys smoking? My cost of electricity has usage fees right in it. So essentially you not only pay for electricity but for each kWh of power used you also have the cost for distribution. The more I use the more I pay. So if I get an BEV then the cost of the infrastructure to charge that is paid for by the increase in electricity use. Most places will be like this. The cost might be buried in the power but paying for infrastructure isn t free. | zombienudist | 2023-11-23 20:32:12 | 22 | Tesla Dominance in EV Batteries |

And now you drive on the roads and pay no road tax. So some of that money is from my taxes. I and everyone else around you with out ev s are paying for your ev. I said yup! I m fine with that.

I have projects im working on with cities where we get compost turn it into biofuels then we power hydrogen generators then send that to our turbines or linear generators this fuels the EV stations up to 50MW of power on some of these that s like 200 250kw stalls. All for the low price of $0.05 per kwh so a gallon is like $0.30 if compared to a 24 mpg car. Not to mention the carbon emissions are miniscule in comparison like right now it s 6lbs to 20 lbs for 6kwh vs 1 gallon and ours is like 150 grams. Not to mention we are expediting composting sites and providing hydrogen to others that need it in our model. | MC-CREC | 2023-11-23 20:56:18 | 5 | Tesla Dominance in EV Batteries |

I remember when supercharging was far far cheaper. My pickup truck can do 150KM for the same money in gas. Electricity here costs around 0.08$ per kwh so tesla is marking it up 10x. EV charging is getting expensive. 70+ cents per kwh is rediculous considering in our Canadian winter a full charge will net you 250-300KM max on LR AWD MD3. | trichomefarmer420 | 2023-11-23 21:25:06 | 5 | Tesla Dominance in EV Batteries |
6ql3v5 | “Autopilot” on non-Tesla s | Mods if this is against the rules please remove. I ve talked to a lot of people who think Tesla is the only company that has some level of enhanced cruise control that keeps your vehicle in its lane at a safe distance and can manage stop and go traffic. Most of us here know there are many competitors but how do they stack up? I m curious what comparable systems you have tried. I just read another thread that said Audi s system is “smoother”. Any other opinions? I m still holding onto my Model 3 reservation and my intent is still to purchase the car. However I m not a patient man. I might lease another car and defer my Model 3 for awhile.

The follow-distance stuff worked quite well and was smooth to decelerate and accelerate for the most part. The only times I saw it have issues is when the car in front was leaving the highway lane to turn off and it thought it was braking infront of us and slowed down the car a bit. Stop-and-Go traffic worked for the most part but had a second or two delay to get going after the car(s) in front started moving. Overall a huge improvement coming from cars that had neither of those features but obviously much room for improvement in that circumstance. Hands had to be on the wheel and it appears that if I didn t make even a subtle change in the turn wheel it would pop up a warning and beep at me saying steering required even if we were on a perfect straight-away. | Janus67 | 2017-07-31 02:57:21 | 8 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |

It ll be debuting on the 2018 Nissan Leaf and Rogue. The Leaf s unveil event is a month from now. Nissan has ProPilot with FSD on the roadmap for around 2020-2021 IIRC. As for what s out now you can get Honda Sensing as a $1000 package on almost every vehicle Honda makes. That s drive assist on highways (autosteer traffic aware cruise control) and safety features (lane departure warnings collision warnings emergency braking etc). Having tried it it does the job of making highway driving much less stressful but it is just a drive assist it ll turn off if the lines become unclear or you have to take a sharp curve. Not bad for < $20K though. | odd84 | 2017-07-31 01:44:26 | 6 | Tesla Autopilot Performance Review |
gq2qda | “Power limited” error | Hi all! My new (with ~700 miles) Model 3 was in Tesla service last week for an HVAC issue. When the fan came up to full speed it would make a grinding noise and then turn the whole HVAC system off. They replaced the fan unit and the “body controller - left.” We decided to take it out to a long drive today 120 scenic miles each way stopping at a supercharger. About a mile out from the supercharger on the return leg the car gave us a “power limited - OK to drive” error and a “power reduced” warning. Tried getting in and out of the car and a hard reset with the brake pedal neither worked. Called roadside support and they said to try a full power off. We were nowhere near available towing and roadside support said it was OK to drive home to try the power off there. I was worried about being stranded with screaming kids in car seats if we tried the reset far from home. We wound up limping at 59 mph down the right lane of a 70 mph major freeway with cars flying around. The full power off at home didn t help. A mobile service appointment is set for a few days out. Has anyone run into this? It s disappointing to run into issues with this few miles and honestly hard to imagine trusting a car that s had problems this early into ownership. Update edit: they identified it as a failed Superbottle. Had it towed to the service center and picking it today. Hopefully that settles it. | menthapiperita | 2020-05-25 02:32:43 | 13 | frqhqa4 | You will get this if the oil pump fails on the rear motor. Not sure if the front has one.

a7ffoa | “Target Opening in 2018” | I ve stopped holding my breath for the opening of a nearby supercharger that says “target opening in 2018”. There s not even any evidence of a permit being submitted. As a new owner of a Model 3 (which I m in love with by the way) I was hoping that I wouldn t have to wait more than a month or two for a supercharger to open up in my town. Has anyone had any luck reaching out to a Tesla rep about this? At the very least it would be nice to know they are working on it and that it wasn t just forgotten about pushed to a later date. I would even volunteer my own time to help see it built sooner! | 22percentmilk | 2018-12-18 21:25:46 | 21 | ec2ld10 | I asked around about them and part of the problem is grid planning cooperation with the local utility since this will be a significant impact to the local power grid. Once they work through possible sites then they get into other site concerns etc. The permit only gets pulled after they know there s enough capacity and that they can make a deal with the owner of the property to put in the charging station. In other words there s very little you can do to anticipate when the Supercharger is going to come online. I recommend investing in good home charging infrastructure so you can always leave the house with a full charge. | majesticjg | 2018-12-18 21:51:01 | 11 | Tesla Model Travel Experiences |

And a few years later a week after Apple introduced the first iPhone all the pundits panned it - an expensive toy that nobody but Apple Fanbois will want they said. Different decade different industry different product - same old pundit bullshit. The world s entire automotive industry is so tightly latched onto the oil cartel s tits that they won t be able to catch up to Tesla s technologies economy of scale and charging infrastructure for at least a decade no matter what the short sellers and the so-called industry experts proclaim from their oil drum thrones on high. And don t get me wrong: they make some very nicely appointed vehicles: a few of them even almost come close to matching the performance of a Model S or Model 3 - only problem is they help destroy the environment three ways: through the use of excessive energy and natural resources to manufacture the parts materials and supplies required to build complex heavy and maintenance-intensive drive trains drawing down the finite supplies of petroleum from the planet at the expense of local ecologies wildlife and geologic structures and poisoning the atmosphere with more carbon dioxide than the plant kingdom can use to convert to oxygen... especially since South America Indonesia and other places enjoy the revenue from clear-cutting rain forests for exotic timber and palm oil fuel. So as they roll along down any given highway encasing their occupants with the creature comforts of luxury convenience and utility at speed they re simultaneously contributing to the accelerated destruction of every living thing on this planet and the resources required for life.

fec6s2 | “Vacation Mode” in app | Given the constant confusion people have with the things you need to do before leaving your car unplugged for a long period parked somewhere (e.g. turn off Sentry Mode turn off Cabin Overheat Prevention etc. ) it would be great if there was an option in the app to put your car into a “Vacation Mode” which would do all the necessary things to minimize phantom drain automatically and also prevent the car from waking up if you open the app accidentally out of habit. This would seriously simplify the process of leaving your car somewhere without charging so you can get back to your car with as little drain as possible while you were away. | DrVoltasElectricFish | 2020-03-06 11:30:25 | 415 | fjn6zbq | I think this is a great idea but allow some customization and allow us to enable it from the app. Would also be nice to have a feature that could turn off the cellular connection but turn it on every several hours to check for requests.

I could attach a tennis ball from the ceiling with the old windshield hitting trick. However I think i have seen where it activates wipers and there needs to be a better way to do this with tech.

To me this already seemed to be the case. They have been increasing sales and production at about 50% a year and while gross margin on the product has been fluctuating they are still ahead of most I think. Despite that their total liabilities have been increasing slowly even if they have actually got more cash available. I ve been reading everything I can to try and guess where they are spending it. My prediction battery day and some more announcements during the year are going to shake things up more than most believe possible. We all know that Elon wants to increase battery production by a factor of **50**. Nobody knows how fast. The biggest bottleneck will be raw materials. I think he will be aiming for a target of 2-5 years don t know if that s physically possible but I think that s the sort of time scale he has in mind. | shaggy99 | 2020-01-31 18:30:05 | 16 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |

If Tesla was out pacing all the other competition in tech and growth being constrained and they still made all this progress. Think about where they will be 5-10 years out being able to put full resources behind R& D infrastructure growth hiring and of course service. It just seems more and more grim for a lot of the OEMs. Link to earning call with quote. https: edge.media-server.com mmc p 6ng4gj6b | hoppeeness | 2020-01-31 17:16:01 | 575 | fg4vk8c | I think the main break through is the culture start up mentality and risk aversion. Legacy Auto simply had no reason to rock their cash cow... until now. GM is still dragging their feet with the future right in front of them with only 10% of their R& D going into EV tech. GM will be decimated in 10 years for their lack of comprehension again. Most legacy auto wont survive the switch to EV. | Teamerchant | 2020-01-31 23:07:31 | 9 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic |
