There are signs up now stating "Authorized Use Only"... I'm quite sure these are just meant for the showroom and not for general public. I know sometimes the showrooms will let you charge if they aren't using it..but that's case by case and requires you to park and go ask anyway. Supercharger...

I'm still not seeing the permit on supercharge.info so I also submitted today too. Christmas in Washington! Bellevue, Issaquah, Lynnwood, Vancouver. Awesome.

This is so spectacular. Christmas coming early for Washington now. We have permits and, for a couple..construction... now for Issaquah, Lynnwood, Bellevue, and Vancouver

AAA Washington announced a mobile electric car charging service a few years ago. However, not sure if this is still offered as they don't seem to say anything on the website now. Out of juice? AAA debuts Washington roadside charging service for electric cars

Thanks OP. I will say it was more accurate with just basic settings than evtripplanner was even with a lot of fiddling. I mapped my recent trip from Seattle to Seaside in both tools. Although evtripplanner was a little more accurate given temp settings and tweaking, I had to discover a lot of...

Hi from Seattle to Redmond! I'm not understanding your post... do you mean that the navi was very accurate, enough to swear by? Or that it was very inaccurate and made you swear? ;-)

That's not our experience, putting the top strap up and over next to the headrest, as indicated in the manual, works great for ours (Orbit). Tension it down and it stays put quite nicely.

I've noticed the same. Music is far louder outside my X as compared to the Audi Q7 (with regular speakers, not the fancy ones mentioned earlier in the post). Frankly I feel the same about road noise inside the car, for a $90k vehicle the road noise is pretty loud. In comparison the Q7 sounds...

I've seen this type of rationalization before, but nobody has any idea what your state of charge is, regardless whether you have a short or long range EV. Nobody should be touching other people's cars/cables or taking it upon themselves to determine whether someone "deserves" a charge. If your...

My wintertime range hit is about -25% (30's and 40's in hilly Seattle)

Wow it looks like people had a lot of varied experience. I had a very good one... our front passenger latch failed but was able to hold the door closed enough to drive (warnings going off but door stayed shut). Drove to the SC in Seattle, they took it in immediately and had it fixed in 45...

Yes, verrrry slow to ramp up the wipers even on second sensitivity. I find myself manually triggering it all the time if not on constant wipe. The problem (in my unscientific experience) seems to be that it just takes a very long time to notice the rain level. Almost as though the "rain...

Good point, I hadn't thought of all that hot metal keeping my toesies toasty :-)

Does everyone else's liftgate just craaaaawwll upward? Seriously it seems like it's just groaning and straining to get that back end up. SC looked at it and tweaked a little but it still is slow as crap.

For my Model X 75 I found the Model S 90D 21" to be pretty accurate with a payload of 500. Frankly the temp settings don't make much difference.

lol that REALLY would have pissed her off!

On a drive in 36 degree weather I definitely noticed the "cold feet" syndrome. However a quick fix was simply to open the fan controls and manually set to blow air on feet and on windshield (for ongoing defrost). I also cranked up the fan speed manually. With a higher fan speed blowing on my...

Hills and cold have a significant impact. I'm not traversing passes, but in hilly Seattle in this wintertime I'm seeing roughly 25% less range. To play it safe I've been calculating everything around 2/3. ie if my charge says 200 miles, I plan on making 120 miles safely. That's admittedly...

PSA: This falls into the "DOH" category. Just a reminder for folks, if you open the rear trunk and then open a FWD, you *will* end up with snow on the heads of your family in the middle row seats. My daughter was not amused.

BTW folks for those that feel this is a cold weather issue, see this thread where the same issue was experienced by someone in summer HELP: Stuck at a supercharger and the car won't charge

Well I guess your "mileage may vary" (guess we also need a new phrase heh). It happened to me at 3% and Tesla Tech Support verified it was expected behavior. Just wanted to put it out there as a PSA for folks in case they find themselves in the same situation and are wondering (like me)...

Hi bush - yes it was cold, about 36 F. However Tech Support said it wasn't a temperature thing, it was a charge thing. Based on some other posts I'm guessing (unverified) that you'd see the same behavior in the summertime.

Verified this with Tech Support this weekend, I ended up at a Supercharger with about 3% battery in my 75D Model X. Plugged in and the screen showed 0 Kw, no miles charged, and a 90 minute charge time. The energy showed brief runs to 6Kw and back down to 0. Per tech support this is expected...

I used it mostly to get a mental idea of when I need to plan trips or skip that noise and just head out with confidence and no navi.

Hi just wanted to add my own experience, I had this happen today on my X. I was down around 5%. Screen said 1 hour 20 to charge but 0 kw. It would occasions flicker to 6kw and back to 0. Called tech support and they confirmed when battery is very low around 5% the supercharger trickle...

I found the NU-CORD to be a little cheaper than Camco but very heavy duty, very happy with it so far. 25 footer: https://www.amazon.com/NU-CORD-94552E-25-Feet-50-Amp-Extension/dp/B005GXPXVM They also carry a 50 foot

Hi all there's a great planning resource that I found here How Far Can I Travel With this tool you can calculate range around a point taking major roads into account, not just a general circle. Results can then be input into Google Maps to be saved. I used this to generate a 75 mile "no...

Thanks guys, after reading this thread my right FWD started snapping intermittently on open. You jinxed me. ;-) Just a note actually to say thanks for the posts on this issue, anytime I have an issue with the X I know I can typically find someone who has experienced it also and maybe has a...

We had that issue, took it to Service Center, they looked at it right away and replaced the sensor on the door latch. 30 minutes in and out.

It's not an uncommon reported issue... to the point that some suggest buying small Faraday bags for your remote! Personally the only issue I had was leaning against the car with key in pocket and bump! the doors all closed. There's an option to disable that as you probably already know.

Yes known issue with 8.0, when leaving the car while a song is playing on Slacker, then returning later, the song will resume and play for 30s and then jump to the next. Not sure this invalidates the entire media player experience though... I personally find the changes very welcome. Waaaaay...

God I thought it was just me. Maybe it's a PNW/Seattle thing? Wiper clean going up, big ol smear coming down. Light or heavy rain, doesn't matter. I got some Aquapel for my rear camera to try to help with the visibility in rain but am leery of putting it on the windshield. I had bad RainX...

Similar complaint, I think I might know the issue though - seems like the "ramp up" period is too slow. If the sensor is taking an average over several reads and adjusting the wipers to that average rain level, it appears that it's doing it across too much time. I've noticed my wipers start...

One thing to check - I had to explicitly turn on the "Traffic based routing" in the Settings...Apps...Navigation screen. It was off by default.

Guys it's misleading to say the Bellevue site has a Supercharger. They have a high amp charger for service use only while your car is being repaired or prepped for delivery. There's no public Supercharger in Bellevue.

Thanks OP, ordered. Great for next trip to Mom's house :-)

+1 for memory seats tied to fobs Middle seats should return all the way to locked position, and front seats should return to original position, when the third row passenger has sat down and pressed the "back" button on the second row seat. Instead I end up manually picking my profile a second...

Tesla McTeslaface? Sorry had to be done. We actually named ours Tango after a favorite penguin character in one of my daughter's books.

Heheh, love Bank's ship names. Good source for games like Star Citizen also.

Unfortunately I haven't found anything better, has anyone? It's a pretty small sample size of 400 users. Nice thing is you can tell when a new version has released. Other than that, though, not a lot to glean here.

Wait... what? There's a Supercharger at Bellevue Service Center. edit - no there is not. Just called the center and spoke to the sales staff. He firmly confirmed there is NO supercharger at the new Bellevue 20th St location. He said they are working on "maybe" getting a couple of outdoor...

One of the Tesla salespeople told me 2 years ago that a supercharger was going to be installed near the I-5 / I-90 interchange. Again that was 2 years ago so who knows what's happening with the plans there. She seemed pretty confident though, and yes if you look at the "2016" Supercharger map...

This morning I woke up to a software update. The update FINALLY(!) adds a setting to turn off the one-press-all-door-close functionality on the keyfob. I would have loved it even better if there was an option to make it double click or triple, but being able to turn off the accidental pocket...
