We charged here this evening. We were only getting about 64 kW at number one a.

We are due to be heading eastbound in a couple of weeks; I have my fingers crossed in doubles. This will make the Baton Rouge - Destin trip much easier.

UPDATE: I did get word from the SC, and my appointment was last Thursday. The installation was quick, the service (at the New Orleans SC) was very good, and I am back up and running the roads again. Not that I'm going anywhere much, but at least, I can zip when I do!

No, I got my wife to double-check, and they were dead.

I may just look into that. I'll keep you all posted if it happens.

Greetings, All, On May 1, I notified Tesla that the MCU on my 2016 S was not functioning. I received an email from them, stating that they would let me know when the part would be available so that I could make an appointment to bring it in. They also stated that they would keep me updated...

I was recommended to Tire Engineers by one of the Tesla rangers. He said that they use that location for all of their service work. I had had a previous bad experience with Tire Engineers, but decided to go for a consultation on two of my current tires that seemed to have more wear than they...

Our S90D is at 30,000 and going strong, without any battery concerns.

I like the crackling fire sound. I tried the "Romance" playlist, and some of the songs are fine, but some remind me more of the "Sleasy Porn Theater" mode.

Yep, we keep an ice chest up there, just in case we come across unexpected foodstuffs, and the EZ Pass is just wedged between it and the front carpeting. We haven't had a problem with it working, although we did discover that somehow, the clerk at the EZ Pass store had failed to actuate it, so...

For the first several months that we owned our car, we just used the 110v. outlet. For overnight charging, it was never a problem for us. Bob Anyone else surviving on charging on a regular outlet?

That looks just like the EzTags we use in Texas. I'd love for it to be in the frunk instead of on my window. I have one of those EZPass transponders that mount to the front plate. I keep mine in the frunk, and it does fine.

Haha, I did unplug it for a minute, then plugged it back in!

Got v.9 yesterday and installed it, have IOS ver. 3.6.0 on phone, but cannot connect via phone. Deleted and re-installed, but to no avail. 2016 S90D, AP1, any suggestions? Bob

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Bienvenu de la sud de la Louisianne.

That Igloo for my frunk is a part # 01716001. I looked on the Igloo site, and on Amazon, and they don't seem to show it anymore. Ido see that it was made in 2013, so it isn't as old as I thought. I think that I bought it at an Academy Sports store. height 13", depth 11", width 19".

At least you know that it cyber-floats.

It is intermittent on my S also. It used to be more consistent. I rarely used it, perhaps it got offended.....

I'm in for the night, and I don't know if the spaces are similar in the Model 3 as compared to the Model S, but I have coolers in both spaces. I will check tomorrow morning, and get the models for you to test out. As I recall, in the frunk, there is an Igloo brand marine cooler that fits...

Louisiana also. Perhaps it's a regional thing.

Sounds good. Happy "motoring". Bob

It seems like I read that the Tesla server was going to be down in the middle of the night a couple of nights ago. I had the same problem, deleted and reinstalled the app, and it is doing fine for me now.

Just as a matter of wonderment, are you going to the meetup in New Orleans this Saturday? If you see a S just like yours headed there, it might be me, I'm in Baton Rouge also. Bob

I am forwarding information about this event. We have these gatherings for the owners and those interested in the South Louisiana area. I wanted to post this just in case there were any owners, travellers, or interested parties that might be in the area. Come on out, you are welcome! Bob C...

Yep, I have been "saluted" more than once for doing nothing more than driving an electric car. You are, however, correct. Bless Their Hearts is a fully appropriate comment. By the way, if you get a wild hair and want to have a road trip, there is a Tesla Meetup next Saturday Morning at City...

I just spotted a Model 3 at the Supercharger in Baton Rouge yesterday. Two guys were giving it a "test run" from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. to Palm Springs, Ca. They were pleased as punch at this point of the trip, and headed westbound, grinning.....

Perhaps a good NASCAR plate frame would do the trick! The season starts tomorrow.

Don't worry about the lack of skiing, especially if you like water. Think Water Skiing!!!

On a similar note, (the note being disposal of critters), should you ever have a cockroach in your car, I have successfully done this: Drink a beer. Put the empty beer can on its side on the floorboard of your car. Let it sit there overnight. The next morning, go out to the car, open the...

My OEM silicone key chain/holder is stretching out and does not hold the key the way it used to. I am worried I’ll lose my key. Mine was doing a similar thing. I took the key out, and washed the silicone part in hot water and Dawn detergent, and let it dry. When I put it back on, it was...

And, of course, having so little snow, people here freak out at just the possibility of snow. Schools close, as do government offices, and the drivers, well, they start at a low point, and go down from there. I don't know what would happen if we got, say, a foot or more. We would all probably...

Here in S. Louisiana, we really have no concept of what a winter tire is. I'm not being sarcastic or anything, we might get snow once every 5 years or so, and it only freezes about 5-10 times in the winter, and that is usually only dipping to 32 for a few hours. It is good to know, however...

I have a 90D. It seemed like we were using more energy, but I knew that we were covered on that short of a trip no matter what. It was strange to see the Wh's up around 360 or so when going 45 mph.

Here in South Louisiana, we get snow about once every 5 or 6 years. I had to drive from Baton Rouge to New Orleans this morning, and dang, it takes a while to acclimate to it. Judging by the number of vehicles in the ditches, a lot of folks idn't learn very well. I was doing 45-50 on the...

I passed through the Love's a few days ago, in my ICE truck and camper. No one was at home at the superchargers.

I find that if I press and hold the icon, it works. It used to work with just a momentary press of the icon.

I have 17.32.6, and have also noticed that Homelink is not consistent now. I first noticed it about a month or so ago. It used to work at first touch, every time. Now, I have to visually check to ensure that my door is up when entering, and down when exiting. Sometimes, it takes several...

Most folks give me a thumbs up if they recognize the car. However, I have had at least two instances of folks presenting me with another digit over the course of the last year. I don't have any idea why, though I speculate that perhaps, since I am in oil country, that that may have something...

Yes, but if one has a bit of time after charging, there is a circular lake with a lot of fancy ould homes around it just a couple of blocks away.

Oh, sorry, there is a place called Parrains on the other side of the entrance ramp that one can see behind the superchargers. I like it a lot better than Acme, but that may just be my taste buds. Galatoire's is across the parking lot, and is good but pricey. Down the way from Trader Joe's on...

We were coming back from Houston on Saturday evening, and stopped in Lake Charles. I don't know what was going on, but my wife asked, "Are they trying to make a statement"? Here is the picture. My only thought is that there was a Buffalo Wild Wings across the parking lot (also filled with BIG...

Today marks our one year anniversary of taking delivery on our S90D. We picked it up in N. Houston, and (nervously) drove it to our friends' home in the Woodlands. That weekend, we acclimated ourselves to the basic driving functions of this new mode of transportation and, at the end of the...

The Baton Rouge Supercharger is often shown on the nav system as being almost full. I have only seen one or two of the stalls occupied at most, and usually, there are no cars there. There is little, if any ICEing there, as it is away from most of the storefronts. And yes, OooohNooo, ANY place...

Yeah, the Huntsville route might be a good option. Lake Charles supercharger might be affected by the storm, and I agree about the scenic factor.

Last year, when I went from Baton Rouge to Austin for SXSW, I-10 was flooded, and we had to go through Dallas. It was about an 11 hour trip in an ICE mobile. If you decide to go that way, that is at least some information for you. If you do go through Houston, we would like to hear about the...
