    New 4S, Low Range…

    Range depends a lot on where you drive and how you drive. Recently I did a 160 mile trip with Econ drive mode engaged, kept it under 75 mph, and had the added benefit of descending 3000 ft in elevation by the time I reached my destination.

    Center Console Control Panel overheating issue

    This problem has been intermittent. It has not happened recently. The dealer could not find anything that would cause it and asked me to bring it in if it happens again.

    TeslaTap Mini Adapter feedback?

    Anyone have experience using the TeslaTap Mini Adapter? It converts the Tesla charging socket to a standard J1772 allowing one to use the Tesla destination chargers (Level 2) that are common at many hotels. It is rated for 50A.

    Emergency port release--how to reset/retract after usage?

    You need to push the cord back into the hole and then press the button back in. It is hard to do with fat fingers so I use a needle nose pliers. Or if you have a five year old running around you can get them to do it as their fingers are small enough.
