Forgot one: Check-ins for 2024-05-19 - Watertown, NY (#539) Makes my total 546 now. Realized that I forgot to log that one when I saw that there weren't enough charge stops to cover the miles on that day of the road trip! Found it on my Tesla account and inserted it into the database for the...

With the caveat that it was years ago, I watched museum staff lock the outside restrooms at 5 PM when the museum closed.

IME they are open only when the museum is open.

Check-ins for 2024-05-07 - Minocqua, WI (#487) - Escanaba, MI (#488) 1769 miles thus far. Intermittent rain much of the day but we did see some sun in Escanaba. Lots of lakes in northern Wisconsin! Cool and rainy next to Lake Huron in St. Ignace tonight. A few rumbles of thunder.

Day 2 of our trip, another 600 miles and we are across the Plains before heavy weather moves in. Check-ins for 2024-05-05 - Gothenburg, NE (#476) - Kearney, NE (#477) - Grand Island, NE (#478) - Norfolk, NE (#479) (First to check-in) - Sioux City - Southern Hills Dr, IA (#480) -...

Check-ins for 2024-05-04 - Ogallala, NE (#474) - North Platte, NE (#475) Day 1 of our 7000 mile road trip, about 590 miles from home, across the mountains, to North Platte NE. I ordered a month of FSD and used it to drive essentially the entire trip, which made it a lot easier. A few glitches...

I was disappointed that the air wasn't as clear by afternoon as it was in the morning. This is the same sort of picture in 2016 with my then new-to-me Model S60: And this is what the south view looks like from our neighborhood picnic area at Inspiration Point: ^ 14 May 2014, the wide angle...

Just got 24.3.25 yesterday. The FSD version is 12.3.6, a change from 12.3.4 in my car, Y LR.

Taking advantage of a rare washed car: ^ On the county road that I use to get to my house. The tallest peak is Mt. Sneffels, 14,158 feet (4315 meters). It is featured on the front of Colorado driver's licenses. Heading out Saturday on a 7000 mile road trip to Canada and the eastern US.

^ Heading out on a 7000 mile road trip to Canada and eastern US (Acadia National Park, among other places) on Saturday. So, Vernal is all yours! Really glad to see it however — makes visiting Dinosaur National Monument a lot easier. Also opens up US 40 westbound from Craig.

^ That's the Gateway trip I mentioned upthread. Well worth doing!

^ Yes stoping has nothing to do with RWD or AWD, although tires matter a lot! Studded tires are best for ice, as you say, but they are hard on roads so I haven't used them in recent years, although they are legal here. I mostly push through snow and ice is less common in Colorado than in the...

Does anyone know if it is difficult to cancel a monthly FSD subscription? I really liked EAP with my recent free trial on a road trip — didn't try actual FSD. I'm about to head out on another 7000 mile road trip and EAP would be helpful, so $99 for a month of it, via the FSD subscription, would...

^ Lizard Head Pass is pretty scenic from Ridgway over Dallas Divide (State Highway 62) to Mountain Village (SH 145) and the Pass. From the Pass to Cortez it is ok — nice drive through the mountains but nothing special by Colorado standards. The Million Dollar Highway over Red Mountain Pass...

Monarch Pass is a lot more fun to drive than I-70. But if you want a really scenic and fun drive, try US 550 over Red Mountain Pass from Durango to Ouray. The section from Silverton to Ouray is known as the "Million Dollar Highway." Of course I am biased because little Ouray County, population...

CDOT has been doing highway construction in that area for several years. The road is closed at night and there are traffic holds during the day on weekdays. However, it was possible to bypass the hold with a detour, if desired. This closure is the bridge beyond the construction zone and bypass...

For those collecting in Colorado, please be aware that US 50 is closed at Blue Mesa Reservoir for an emergency bridge repair. This is expected to be a long term closure. So, no direct travel between Poncha Springs Supercharger Station and Montrose Supercharger Station (Monarch Pass/ Gunnison)...

Please be aware that US 50 is closed at Blue Mesa Reservoir for an emergency bridge repair. This is expected to be a long term closure. So, no traveling between Poncha Springs or Gunnison and Montrose for some time to come. I-70 is the best alternate route for travel between the Front Range and...

I have to get up a 270 foot steep, curved driveway in winter. There is no comparison between my many years with the Model S RWD with snow tires and the Model Y AWD with snow tires. I did a lot less shoveling this past winter because the Y could push through the snow and icy spots most of the...

For me, RWD versus AWD is more of a Sunbelt versus Snowbelt question. Having moved from a RWD S60 to AWD Y LR, I can say with certainty that AWD plus snow tires is a LOT better than RWD plus snow tires in difficult driving conditions. Not something that the OP in the Bay Area needs to...

I suppose it depends on what one is used to — I started with a 70 mile range LEAF in 2011 and got really good at hypermiling and opportunity charging, especially in winter. Now, coming from a short range S60 that was down to 166 RM after 164,000 miles, the range of my Y LR is terrific! Twice...

Back to the OP's original question. Around here there are lots of free public L2 charge stations and most are in the 6.6 (Chargepoint) to 7 or 8 kW range. They are 80% funded by a state grant system that, in turn, is paid for by a $50/year EV registration fee — $30 to roads and $20 to the charge...

That's what I do as well. Figured it out for myself about eight years ago — before Tesla started with the "preheating for faster Supercharging" protocol — on a cold night at Twin Falls ID. Supercharging the next morning didn't even start for ten or fifteen minutes while the battery warmed up...

The Supercharger Station is right next to I-70 on the south side (at a Sonic drive-in), so no way to check out that golf course from there. Nevertheless, that sure was a long way to go from Avon to play golf! I guess I'd say that I don't understand the fanaticism of golfers except that, well...

Island Acres or Rifle? Both are a long way from Avon and Vail! Island Acres is a section of James Robb State Park located along I-70 between Palisade and De Beque (the other section is in Fruita). River and canyon but no golf course, so far as I am aware. Just big a big picnic area and...

Cleaning up a stray relatively near my home (~140 miles). 22 April 2024: 473. Rifle, CO Had hoped to get this one as a first but it was too snowy that day and someone else nabbed it before the weather cleared here. Since we were practice camping last night at Island Acres on the Colorado...

In Montrose CO Tesla removed the bollards/signs between stalls when the station went to Magic Docks. It allowed non Tesla cars to nudge closer to help the short cables to reach. I would guess that is why curb stops are being removed from stations that are now open to non Tesla cars.

Long day getting home yesterday: Left Winnemucca for Elko and arrived to find it closed because the property owner was tarring the parking lot. I was down to 5%, later 3%. They directed us to what turned out to be an EA station at Walmart but I don't have the CCS adapter. Went back to the...

My wife of nine days REALLY liked your post!

?? Did a new one open? I thought I saw something in the database but couldn't find a new listing in my car. I was puzzled.

I've had my PLUGSIN plate for more than twelve years now. It is on my third EV! Used to draw interest from passersby in the early days.

I bought my Y LR to use, so I've put more than 11,000 miles on it in five months. Currently on a 2500 mile road trip to visit family in Oregon and have a 7000 mile road trip planned to Canada and eastern US for next month. This picture of my car is at a new Supercharger Station in Burley Idaho...

Nope. Doesn't work for the temporary FSD trial so far as I can see. The buttons are available for autosteer as usual but disappear when FSD is selected. If Tesla really wanted FSD trials to be useful they'd fix the bug.

My car won't allow the change to double pull for FSD. When I select FSD, the single pull/double pull fields are grayed out. Don't know why. Edit: I'm not the only one: Double Pull Selection Deactivated with FSD, Cruise Control not available.
