I have been asking for an Emporia Supercharger for over 5 years. I hope they don’t end up canning this one mid construction or something. Elon has really lost his marbles slashing the entire supercharging team. I think it’s going to be a huge mistake that will have long lasting effects on the...

I really hope these are magic dock equipped from day 1. Would be even more amazing if it was actually a true V4 station that supported 800V too.

I am debating between ordering a set of new tires for the 21s to see how much of an improvement just tires can make vs. the smaller wheels, or just putting the 19s back on. 21s look nicer but the steering feels so much heavier and less responsive than the 20lb per wheel lighter 19” wheels I have...

I’ve got almost 18,000 miles on a set of 19” wheels with Hankook Ion Evo AS SUV tires on my GT. I just put the 21s back on with the OE Eagle F1 tires and holy crap, I can’t believe the difference in range is as bad as it is. Whereas I was averaging 2.9-3.5mi/kWh in winter on the Hankooks/19s...

It’s strange to me most of the new V4 installs don’t show up as being open to every EV even though my understanding is they have magic docks built in? Is this correct?

It’s a bit unusual these don’t show up on the “charge your non-Tesla” tab in the app if they have magic dock support

Tires can make a 25 mile difference. We put a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II on our LR AWD 3 and believe it or not, but energy consumption spiked by nearly 40%. I was shocked. After 1000 miles the consumption hadn’t improved so we swapped them out for the Michelins and energy...

I’m wondering if the tire difference is why the range has dropped 25 miles from the 2022 LR AWD. I’m at Tesla in Charlotte, NC with my friend picking up his new LR AWD 3 and it has the Hankook tires.

My friend is picking up a new LR AWD 3 tomorrow and I’ll be interested to see when he gets home how many kWh of energy the pack holds and how much more efficient it is vs. his ‘19 LR AWD 3. He’s going to have both cars for a few days. He did the FSD transfer deal. I think once we see how many...

I am having issues with setting up my new phone as a phone key. Logged into the app and can access all functions of the app, except one… phone key setup. I am running iOS 17 Beta 5 and don’t know if that’s the cause of my issue, or not, but ever since getting this phone about a month ago I have...

I am struggling with your reasoning that using a Tesla J1772 adapter on say, an EVGo, ChargePoint, SEMAconnect, EA, etc. charger is fine, but using anything non-Tesla with a Tesla made HPWC is unacceptable, even if it causes no damage. If third party NACS-to-J1772 adapters are so terrible, even...

Interesting how they allow you to unlock and use destination chargers in the Tesla app with these shoddy charging adapters. The adapter I have is made by Lectron, not some random person in a garage. Tesla owners have no problem using Lectron adapters at CCS or Chademo stations. You seem to be...

There’s really no difference between using a third party adapter with a Tesla HPWC and using Tesla’s adapter on a third party J1772 charger. Does every destination charger have its warranty void as soon as it leaves the factory because someone may use an adapter on it? Tesla is playing two sides...

I plugged in the Kia when I got home and so far it has charged for the past 1.5 hours without an issue. I bought an IR thermometer and the highest temp I’m seeing is on the charging wand itself, right at the end, and it’s about 128°F. Ambient temps in the garage are around 93°F. It doesn’t feel...

I’ll have to try tomorrow when it is hot outside. They can tell by the logs if a Tesla or non-Tesla is charged on the WC. I’ve tried three different adapters and it’s done it all three times. It’s ridiculous to me they allow the WC to charge non-Teslas if this means your warranty is void. I...

We have two Gen3 HPWCs in our garage at home. We have two EVs. One Tesla, one Kia EV6 GT. I recently noticed the charge rate was being dropped on the HPWC the Kia charges on (with an 80A rated Tesla-to-J1772 adapter). I contacted Tesla and let them know I was seeing the one flashing red light...

I sure hope they do. If cybertruck is really about to be sold in large quantities, they’ve got to do something to speed charging times. Only logical step is to adopt 800V+. Supposedly it’s going to be capable of up to 1000V, but idk how realistic that is.

Also nice if you get a flat tire there’s a Discount Tire in the shopping center lol.

Yes, the supercharger is being installed in that red box.

@corywright

Construction has started on this Supercharger install. I will post pictures in the next couple of hours.

Sorry for the delay. Coordinates look pretty good to me!

@corywright I think you might be the right person to tag?

I saw a new station under construction two days ago at The Falls shopping center in Miami directly adjacent to the Electrify America station. I didn’t have a chance to count the stalls but it looked to be at least 8+ and they were V3. The address is 8888 SW 136th St, Miami, Florida, 33176 This...

I I’m not sure you understand I could sell anything that’s not even half baked and call it a beta. That’s what we have here with “FSD” beta. The longest running joke. 5 years of promises of autonomy and here we are near the end of 2021 and the car can’t even reliably do simple things like...

Jesus H Christ. I just took my first drive on 10.3.1 and it is a disaster. The car ran a stop sign in the first 30 seconds, missed a turn a minute later, started barreling through my neighborhood at 45MPH (it’s a 30 zone). Then when I got out of my community it really showed how and it is. The...

Superchargers don’t contribute any profit to the company. They’re lucky to break even. The cost is amortized over the number of cars sold. There’s no doubt some of these price increases they’re doing are going to fund expanding the supercharger network.

I just got the second update too, before I could even use FSD Beta once. I cancelled the install. What a cluster. I’m so sick of being jerked around by Tesla with this FSD hoax that at this point I just want my money back + interest. I’ve waited three years for something that was going to be...

Tesla is selling over 100,000 cars with FSD a year at 11%. I do not expect most people buying a SR+ car to buy FSD. People buying a Performance trim level are more likely to buy FSD. The take rate is the same it has always been 10-15%. The take rate is not 0.0001%. That would be “nobody” as you...

“Nobody buys FSD” lmao. You need to go back to your TSLAQ sub on Reddit.

What language is this written in?

TSLA is offering $48K on trade, so you think they’re only going to sell it for $54K with FSD? Of course not. They’re selling Model 3 Performances with 30-50K miles for OVER original MSRP.

Tesla offered me $48K on trade. Trade in is always much less than private party resale.

You clearly don’t know what it’s worth. My car has FSD, yours doesn’t. My car has two sets of rims and tires, yours doesn’t. Used car prices are at the highest they’ve ever been and could continue to go up even more because of continued supply chain problems and labor shortages. Good luck...

Bud, you don’t know what you’re talking about. There’s non-FSD Model 3s for sale for over $55K with as many or more miles. FSD is not free, nor is a second set of wheels and tires. What you think your car is worth is irrelevant.

A year ago?

Tesla is selling cars with more miles for ABOVE MSRP. This is a $5000 discount from MSRP and includes two sets of rims and tires. With wait times for a Model 3 stretching out months, people are paying premiums for them. This is true now for almost every used car.

Hi all, I am planning on listing my beloved 2019 Model 3 Performance for sale, but thought I would post it here first. The car has black paint, white interior, performance upgrade package (carbon fiber spoiler, 20” rims, larger performance brakes, lowered suspension, track mode) and is also...

Wonder what they’re still waiting on at this point.

I like that shopping center better than most around here. They did a good job just making it look nicer with cool little paintings on certain exterior walls and the overall appearance looks neat and clean. I do think they need to improve the traffic flow though. The three way stop is a nightmare...

Anyone in the area care to provide an update?

It would do a lot if they at least changed the V2.5 chargers to v3 so you don’t have to power share. That would increase the number of cars served quite substantially. I personally would love a different location than North Hills. The area where Wegmans is one exit down I-440 on Wake Forest Rd...

SCORE! We need this and we need one in Asheboro or Candor!

How the F does Asheville get 3 Superchargers but Raleigh only has North Hills that’s always 90% full?????? I second Boone (or area between Winston and Boone) as needing a SC desperately. So does Greenville NC and Jacksonville.

The old Warsaw Supercharger location at the hotel was terrible. The owner/manager was a nut job. He would confront people who were charging telling them that Tesla hadn’t paid them rent, wouldn’t let people use the bathroom, etc. I heard horror stories. The Smithfield’s across the street is not...

Father in-law just reported that they’ve begun installing the pedestals!

Anyone live nearby able to give an update on the construction status?

The meter has been set, but it was flashing all zeroes when I stopped there last Friday. Chargers were dead and not lit up. I may be going to Wilmington today so if I have time to stop I will look. Unless there’s an issue with something, I don’t really quite understand why it’s just sitting in...

It would be very strange for Tesla to build two Superchargers only one exit apart on I-40.

I really hope a second Durham Supercharger along I-85 is constructed in North Durham, somewhere near the I-85/US-70 (I believe going to be called “I-840” once the East Side Connector opens). The one in Durham now is almost in Chapel Hill (cross the bridge on 40 and you’re in Chapel Hill/Orange...
