    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    Yep ur right. I thought it was towards the highway. Now that I look again I see it’s over on the west side, across from the drive through. Please be very alert walking in and out of the BK on that side. It leads us (and our passengers) right in the path of departing drive through traffic. In...

    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    After the Supercharger department mass firings I was worried that Kayenta might be significantly delayed. Then new permits being issued daily over on supercharge.info came to a complete halt in late April, which did not bode well for any new SC’s, but especially this historically politically...

    Can you make it across the Navajo Reservation?

    I’m a Model S 100D driver with many trips between Flagstaff and Cortez going to and from Telluride. I recommend a charging stop in either via Gallup or Blanding. Gallup seems safest because it has the most alternative fast charging options. In the extremely rare occasion that there’s an issue...

    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    Add the regionally common head wind, cold temps, and precipitation on the road and you could be for a pretty long charge at the Moenkopi Inn destination charger in Tuba City. It’s great that we have that as back up. I’ve done the westbound route from Blanding to Flag once in a MS 100 D (also...

    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    It would definitely be worth starting a Facebook page to raise awareness and help get out the vote. Maybe call it “Kayenta Supercharger Campaign” or similar. Yay 🎉 for climbing from 10th place to 9th! I don’t really expect that we’ll get enough votes in the next two weeks to climb into the top...

    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    “At the end of every three-month period, the top five locations in each region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific) get added as “winning sites” to the future supercharger map allowing Tesla owners to be part of the network’s growth.” Tesla Supercharger voting allows EV drivers to choose where...

    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    PLEASE VOTE for Kayenta as one of your five desired Tesla Supercharger Locations. It’s 10th right now in most wanted North America locations. Tesla will install superchargers at first thru fifth place. Kayenta is the “missing link” for easily getting between AZ and southwestern CO and also...

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    What other vibrations did you have, WOT shudder, 80 mph vibration, or something else?

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    These software patches are ok as a stop gap measure, but this has gone on for too long. At this point Tesla needs to bite the bullet and fix the root cause. I have no doubt that Tesla engineering team knows by now what needs to be replaced to actually fix it, but the execs are probably being...

    No more ultrasonic sensors

    I read somewhere in this forum (a while back so I’m unable to find it at the moment) that Tesla’s software has gone full visual even on refresh MS that have the USS hardware. Does your USS equipped Plaid still actually use the USS?

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    Both vibrations on the same car?

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    I hope you’re right. I looked at all of these MS vibration issues pretty extensively six months ago when I was trying to decide what to do about my Refresh reservation that was up for delivery. I could have sworn I’d seen somewhere that Refreshes were indeed suffering from both the hard...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    The hard acceleration vibration (not the topic of this thread for clarification) typically develops around 20k miles. Your MS will very likely develop this one too by 20k- 30k miles from the mileage of your last half shat replacement. It seems to be a function of half-shaft CV joint wear. You...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Yes you are correct. For clarification, I am referring to the hard acceleration vibration that starts when accelerating hard from most normal speeds as one of two design defects on the refresh MS. I discuss both in my previous posts. The other vibration that you are referring to (and purpose of...
