The last I heard is that Tesla disabled the aftermarket CCS adapters in latest software release. If anyone has any newer info, please reply.

I would like to see more superchargers also, of course; but we had two unpleasant experiences this past week. We charged at the supercharger in Greenville, AL (on the way to Pensacola), but system limited to 80% because it is a "busy" supercharger -in this case, 6 stalls, but only 5 of them...

Well, I answered my own question; see here: Setec usage blocked in current Tesla software release. This is very inconsiderate of Tesla if they don't have a solution of their own to offer... time will tell, I guess...

Just to verify - has everyone who bought the Setec adapter and tried it found that it does not work? I was interested in one of these because the Chademo chargers are few and unreliable (The Electrify America ones work about half the time, in my experience).... and I don't see an option to get...

Thanks for the info; I will plan to take car to Atlanta early in the year. I see a service schedule posted here, but it appears to apply to all models.

At 50k miles, I understand that the Model S battery coolant is supposed to be changed out; also brake fluid. Can anyone tell me - can a service rover do this from their truck, or does the car need to go into the Tesla maintenance depot for this?

This whole discussion (which I am completely on board with), tells me something - that the intuition that I have (having spent 30 years in the auto industry) that long distance charging (supercharging, if you will) is going to be the major gating factor to wholesale adoption of EVs, is true. The...

That must be it, I expect that the Brentwood SC is actually at a service/delivery center, there were Teslas everywhere. The difficulty here is that this is also a key stop on Interstate 65. Maybe next time I will try the CHAdeMO at the Mapco Mart on Moores Lane; that way I can eat a hot dog...

While traveling last week, I noticed a weird situation at the Brentwood (TN, near Nashville) supercharger - I wonder if anyone else noticed this, and/or if it is going on at other locations also. The Brentwood SC is in front of a Tesla showroom; there is a bank of 6 charging stations. It...

I think the owner's manual is downloaded and displayed when you request it (it may be stored locally for further use). I found when I waited for a while, the manual eventually appeared. It would never show up when I was in a location with poor connectivity (i.e., most of the state of Alabama)...

The disappearance of the manual must have been a bug. Over the weekend, Version 9 appeared, and the car has the manual after the Ver 9 upgrade installed.

OK, checked again. Still no owner's manual (either through the "T" menu or at the bottom left of the Settings page). I just realized: my car is out of warranty. Is distribution of the manual no longer supported when out of warranty?

That is an interesting thought... maybe this is still in the process of being transferred. (I did try rebooting the main screen, but that didn't help). Will check it again today and see if anything is different...

Today, I noticed that my Autopark feature did not seem to be working, so I thought, maybe I didn't do something right, so decided to look at the owner's manual. No dice on that....the whole thing is blank... seems to be a table of contents, but no text. The latest Release Notes page is also...

I have a 90D with 50K miles. 100% is 275 miles. I lose perhaps 3 - 4 miles a day when unplugged. - your 100% looks awfully low for a 90D. - something is apparently turned on, that you don't want. 21 miles per day vampire drain is definitely not normal.
