Not really, it depends on the location and layout of the chargers and whether there's space to actually form a cue line. A lot if times cars will just park in view of the station and it's up to you to notice who was there before you and just grab a spot when those before you have gotten a spot...

From my experience I have to log back in to all my accounts on the car after a software update.

I've had this happen several times and each time when I got there the charger was operational. Sometimes the stations will lose communication with the mothership so it shows as closed but it'll still work. Did you stop and see if it was really closed? It's showing operational right now. In...

There is no such thing as a "P60"

V4 pedestals, yes, but current implementation provides no advantage to Tesla users.

It's apparent by now that the approach of using the camera to detect rain is not technologically feasible. It's not because Tesla is in California (contrary to popular notion, it does rain in California and sometimes quite hard) that it won't be fixed, it's just not possible given the hardware...

They do with the MCU2 upgrade.

To bad Whister Peak and the Peak to Peak gondola aren't open yet. That's truly spectacular.

It's been showing as temporary closure on the app for nearly two months so I wouldn't take that as a sign of anything.

Yup, that's the route. We didn't know it was a college but we saw it, the sign just said Deep Springs Ranch and looked like a beautiful oasis in the desert which was ironic because the previous town we went through was named Oasis but it sure didn't look like one.

Just returned from a productive one week trip to Vegas/Reno. Not many superchargers since this was previously well traveled ground but saw four concerts and a visit to the MIL. Also did a new route from US95 in NV to US395 in CA over a remote and desolate pass, fun drive and panoramic views of...

@israndy @PLUS EV I'll be hitting Weed tomorrow on my way to Vegas but from where you guys are I'll be later.

It's been showing up like that for about six weeks.

Which is why I asked upthread which service center this was, it does make a difference. I have been going to Portland OR since my first Tesla in 2015 and they have been excellent but since they opened a center closer to me in Salem OR I have been going there and have had issues with them. I'm...

What hotel is this?

There's nothing wrong with the BMS calibration, by your photos the issue is clearly that the car is just stopping charging too early. It is correctly showing the rated milage at the indicated charge level of 60% and it is showing the correct milage when it actually does charge to 80%. You need...

Which Service Center is this?

No need to check anything. If you have a plain non-performance S85 you have a base motor, if you have a Peformance P85 you have a sport motor. If you want to upgrade an S to a P you need to put in a sport motor and edit the software configuration.

The motor assemblies are not the same. They both have what is referred to as an LDU, Large Drive Unit, but if you look in the parts catalog you'll see that there are two variations, a "base" unit and a "sport" unit with two different part numbers. The difference is a higher current inverter in...

No, the car constantly monitors the battery temp and has active temperature regulation.

Everyone blames camber but it's usually too much negative toe. Common problem. Have an alignment done.

Yesterday while in FSD I encountered a school bus, stopped in the opposite lane with red lights flashing and a couple of cars stopped for it in front of me. My car tried to pass the stopped cars and go head on into the school bus. I yanked it back in time but if anyone saw me they would've...

You completely misunderstood my response. @bmah is right, subject closed.

That's the Plan, Design, Build department that was layed off. Maintenance is done mostly by Tesla Energy division. Sites where cords have been severed have been put back in service rather quickly. Additionally, there is a separate thread for the layoff issue, no need to comment on it in...

No, negative toe (toe out) should never exceed .05. Any more than that will surely kill the inner tread.

How is large, out of spec negative toe okay?

Go and get your lifetime money back and take it somewhere else. That is a horrible rear alignment. Your problem is the huge negative toe on the rear (.13 deg left, .21right). Rear toe should be very close to zero, no wonder your inner tread is worn. Don't worry about camber arms untill you...

I see what you're talking about. Just go through the main menu to find it. https://recell-ev.com/model-s%2Fx-1

Web page works for me. Their FAQs explicity state they don't do upgrades. Additionally there's not much core value in those 60 packs, they're kinda crap. From the FAQ: Do You Offer Pack Upgrades? We wish the answer were different, but the short answer is 'No'. While a pack upgrade sounds...

For being limited, that's a pretty good haul. 😄

Yes, and I'm not really concerned either way. My point is if the company or an employee of the company violates their privacy policy, it would seem that they do have the ability to associate your car with your account and it's location which would be more concerning than having video of me...

Tesla already knows where my car is at all times. That seems far more intrusive than watching me drive.

I've charged at Mt. Shasta multiple times a year over the last nine years and have never had an issue, in fact it's one of our favorite stops. The grocery store, Burger King, Best Western where the old original 4 stall supercharger is.

Unfortunately this happens quite frequently.

What did you tell them? Ya know, they're not wrong;)

Nope, had to reenter but they saved. Before I created the new profile favorites wouldn't save either.

It's available for mid 14's and newer. Earlier than that requires a different wiring harness for the first generation onboard charger. The tech that installed mine was pretty sure they weren't going to make it available for those cars.

I travel in Canada quite a bit and used to use the Chademo until I got CCS. All the stations that have Chademo now also support CCS.

I dont know about the Highland but I've used the Chademo adapter successfully on my 2018 3 for years before they finally came out with the CCS retrofit. As for the Highland, it comes with CCS compatibility built in so why bother with Chademo, just get a CCS adapter.

I had same thing happen and all I did was delete my driver profile and make a new one and then the recent started saving again.

I dont think the performance option is encoded in the VIN. My P85 shows up as an 85S in carfax and other VIN decoders. My performance 3 shows up as a Long Range.

Sounds like an interesting idea, I doubt anybody has tried it. I nominate you to be the first, let us know how it goes.

This behavior is really annoying. It's particularly bad because the alarm beep is same one as when the car is throwing a serious, disabling type error. I had to turn off FSD yesterday because it kept waking up my wife every couple of minutes when it wasn't raining at all, just an occasional...

This is what I had to do, unfortunately, not all breaker boxes offer tandem breakers.

That's not how it works. The car displays current rated miles based on the current capacity of the battery. The only way to find actual miles is by driving it from full to empty.

You can't compare that 164 "actual" miles to 140 "rated". That 164 miles of actual range is out of a new car rated range of 208. If your car is showing 140 rated then your actual is only going to be less than 100.

S60s had a rated range of 208 when new, 140 now is pretty bad. The 60 batteries were crap. Between that and the issues surrounding Supercharging, I wouldn't touch a 60 for any price.

It appears Tesla jumped the gun and posted it on findus and in the app but it hasn't cleared final inspection and has been showing as temporary closure on the app for a couple of weeks.
