    what's the subscription FSD rate for people with existing EAP?

    Do you not have three options under AutoPilot? Three buttons at the top of the AutoPilot section: FSD on the right, AutoSteer, then TACC on the left. Now that FSD is only $2,000 for us EAP holders, I may pull the trigger. The max speed fluctuations and unnecessary lane changer are my biggest...

    Drive Unit Replacement

    Back in October 2022, I had my drive unit replaced under warranty- 1025598-00-T - should I consider having the retrofit to eliminate the chance of lubricant in the inverter? This was in my 2015 P85D that thinks it is a P90D - battery pack replaced in January 2020 and retrofits required P90D...

    Supercharger - Cape Canaveral, FL

    Isn’t the location depicted in the drawing and the image south of the restaurant? This would make it in the southeast corner of the property - or am I reading it wrong?

    Supercharger - Indianapolis, IN - East 86th Street

    Transformer is in place, but no meter yet. Getting close to activation. Covers have been placed to prevent vandalism, I suppose.

    Supercharger - Indianapolis, IN - Waterway Blvd

    I lived in Lockefield Gardens a long time ago (1988-1994), but there weren't any Teslas back then :) I never understood the placement of the Capitol Supercharger. Anywhere at White River State Park would have been awesome (except during Victory Field events). I may use this one once Elanco's...

    GM Servicing Tesla... profits GM how?

    I have no idea how franchise fees are garnered, but I would be surprised if any of that would go to GM for work done by a GM dealer on a Tesla. It boggles the mind that GM is bragging about it - as if this is a new revenue source for them. For GM dealers, perhaps. For the mother ship, not likely.

    GM Servicing Tesla... profits GM how?

    But it is paid to the dealer not to GM. No money is going to GM, but they get bragging rights? GM gets nothing out of a dealer servicing a Tesla and getting paid by the Tesla owner. What am I missing?

    My trunk has a mind of its own - opens randomly

    This is now happening on my 2023 Model Y. It has also happened in the past on my 2015 Model S. For the Model S, a software update at some point seemed to fix the issue. It hasn't occurred on the Model S in over six months. Brought home the Model Y December 5, just started - once in Feb and...

    GM Servicing Tesla... profits GM how?

    I have read it before, but GM president Mark Reuss has been quoted that GM dealers have built a business servicing Teslas. That is not hard to understand between tires, wheels and well-document repairs (e.g. Model S door handles). What I don't understand is how in the heck this benefits GM...

    Supercharger - Lebanon, IN

    Stopped on my way back to Fishers from Crawfordsville. Looks complete except transformer from power company. There are 12 stalls, not 8 as originally reported!

    11? Strange as each cabinet supports 4 stalls. Did they run out of space?

    Best wireless game controller for Tesla games

    I bought two of these when they were on sale for less than $29 each, primarily to use with the 2023 Model Y, but work great in the Model S with MCU 2 as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WBYFX24?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

    Supercharger - New Boston, TX

    Possible that one had a conditioned battery. If two are traveling together you may not think to engage the navigation system in both vehicles to take you to the Supercharger. Use the nav (in both) since it will warm the battery as you approach the Supercharger for faster (and consistent) charging.

    Supercharger - New Boston, TX

    Odd that you had such a disparity in charging rates. It is a V3, so no sharing should have impacted your charge. Did you report it? I am interested as this will be faster than Texarkana in my new Model Y on the way to my brother’s in Wylie. My old Model S wouldn’t care. My boys love Olive Garden...

    Supercharger - Mount Juliet, TN

    Especially one that has a McDonald’s inside which means that many Tesla drivers will visit. But there is also Cheddars next door (almost always busy) and a Firestone Complete Auto Care Center next door as well (they worked my my P85D when I lived there).

    Can you delay delivery to wait on Model Y improvements?

    Tesla doesn’t, but the IRS does. If Tesla honors a tax credit, it is reported to the IRS and will be reflected as a claimed tax credit. If you don’t qualify, I’m sure you would be able to rectify when you file your return. I doubt sellers would be liable. This is speculation, of course...

    Supercharger - Mount Juliet, TN

    About time! Only 2 1/2 years after I moved away from Mount Juliet. Tip, don’t try to turn into McDonald’s if coming from the interstate. Go past Cheddar’s to the next light and turn left and left again. It is much easier to head south back onto the interstate after your charge.

    Can you delay delivery to wait on Model Y improvements?

    I am disappointed that Tesla is not taking a more proactive approach. Certainly, Tesla has buyers who would not be eligible for the incentive that starts in January - those over the income limit, corporate purchases such as Hertz. Why wouldn't Tesla prioritize which to schedule for delivery and...

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    Gen 2 HPWC can handle up to 80 amps as long as your wiring and breaker are rated for 100 amps. I had this setup for my 2013 P85 that had dual chargers. I can count on one hand the times that it was useful. Typically those were race home and charge while loading the car for a road trip. Even...

    Supercharger - Fort Valley, GA

    This will indeed be a busy one. As @ItsNotAboutTheMoney said, this will make the straight shot bypassing Macon and the I-16 interchange much more viable. The stretch from Chattanooga (including Chattanooga itself) to Orlando is getting filled in. I’m actually. Glad this did NOT get V4. That...

    To MCU2 or not to MCU2?

    It really depends. Generally, I suspect MCU2. However, my MCU2 took a day. My battery swap took ten days. Seven days for the battery to arrive and three days to retrofit the 90kWh pack into my P85D. Most of the time was retrofitting firmware.

    Supercharger - Lexington, KY - Meijer Way

    Just stopped at the other Supercharger. Ugh. Wait. Tesla needs to expand this one. Nicely off I-75, but waiting is not good, especially at a V2.

    I must say an odd location considering the existing site at the Meijer to the north and the permitted site at Nora to the south.

    Supercharger - Hendersonville, TN

    I agree. A relatively busy mall so far off I-65 doesn’t make sense to me. River gate would seemed to have been a better choice for the northern approach to Nashville.

    Supercharger - Jasper, FL

    We did stop here Saturday on our way back from Orlando. Probably the most convenient SuC proximal to I-75, but just a quickie mart, bathrooms and a Wendy’s. But hey, easy off/on!
  42. tpedwards

    Supercharger - Jasper, FL

    Yes! Even though my max charge rate is only 115kW, I was charging at 65kW. I could have charged in Jasper (and should have), but when the boys are sleeping in the car, drive as long as I can!

    Supercharger - Jasper, FL

    We were indeed slated to stop there at Jasper and I was prepared to get Frosties, but my boys were asleep at the time and I elected to continue on to Lake City. Lake City’s 6 stalls were busy. Being V2 (shared), charging was slow. Traffic was horrible around Ocala, further south on Saturday evening.

    Thoughts on buying an older Model S P85

    I’m surprised that there isn’t more consideration for third party shops that will refurb the modules that need such. @$37k to get your beloved P85 back, why wouldn’t you consider an independent shop? Even shipping the car both ways could be far less expensive than Tesla. Plus, some offer...

    Value of 2012 Model S Signature P85 w/out working battery

    Yes, but range is not as long as some the refurb 85’s that are 350V and get over 270 miles. By the way, the inside of my is now labeled P90D (binnacle and about screen), but the badge on the back still says P85D. I consider myself lucky that my range was higher with the refurb battery than with...

    Value of 2012 Model S Signature P85 w/out working battery

    I certainly did retain FUSC when my 85kWh battery was replaced with a 90kWh pack (under warranty, thank goodness). Mine is 400V; 248 rated miles @100% SOC. Incidentally, it has been pegged at 248 miles since replaced over two years ago.
