I've had my S85 for a little over a year, and about have about 13,500 miles on it. Recently my engine has started making a buzzing sound, which sounds very similar to a cicada bug. It happens regularly, and is most noticeable at low speeds during light acceleration....like in a parking lot or...

Just got off the phone with the motel, and they have multiple 120v outlets for use, and they have overnight camper spots with 30amp hookups. I feel like I've looked into the 30amp hookup before,,,and it wasn't a great option,,but nevertheless, a 120v will do. So I should be good to go....and my...

Thx evp...that is only about 2 miles from my hotel, which is great. Did you actually charge there?

Thanks all. I will definitely call ahead to the motel and see if they have an outlet available.

Thanks Robert, Yes, it's not far enough from the SC where I'd absolutely have to charge....which gives me some peace of mind. I have called that phone number a few times, and no answer. Oh well. There have been a few check-ins at the charger, and I've seen pics of a motorcycle, and some other...

So I'm meeting some in-laws here for an annual get-together....and I'd like to drive my Model S. I'll head down 95, fill up at Lumberton....then about 80 miles to Hartsville. Luckily there 'seems to be' a public EV charger about 2 miles from my hotel, in Centennial Park. Anyone ever use this...

Oll, how did the wrap turn out? I have a guy doing prep today then modesta coating tomorrow. I was originally going to do the gtechniq crystal serum, but got a price break courtesy of tesla! My guy noticed tons of swirls all over from delivery detailing polisher....tesla agreed to pay for...

Yep, I ended up buying that same thing. Also got 2 adapters off evseadapters.com...for the 14-30 and 10-30. That cord is super heavy, but this seems to be a decent 'general' solution. Just need to dial down the amps when using the adapters.

This was my first inclination a few months back....but whenever I think I've got a decent extension cord solution, I find out that I've got to cut the cord open and do some minor electrical surgery. I'm looking to avoid this. The basic stuff seems pretty easy, but I'm also well aware that I...

That cord seems to work fine, if you need an extension for 50 amp charging....but I'm looking for a flexible solution that fits multiple outlets. For me, it seems that an extended umc would fill those gaps for destination charging. If you have that cord, and come across a 10-30,,then you're...

I'm thinking about having this done....and just wanted to see if others have tried. I'm planning on having 30 feet added,,,making 50 feet total. The extra length has amperage/volt loss issues, so it was recommended that the extended cord should not charge above 24A. I have 2 cords BTW.....the...

Anyone else had this problem? Each time I log in to the app...it warns me to switch off of range charge. Each time I make this change, no problem. I check the console in the car and charging % looks as expected. I then check the app, and it again warns me to switch from range mode....and...

What kind of issues? Just curious, I'm taking delivery tomorrow.

Nothing in the vicinity on plug share...but there is an rv campground about 10 miles away with 50 amp charging.(not listed on plug share) Also campground with 30 amp about a mile away...but I don't have an adapter...and it sound like those tt-30 outlets are relatively worthless for the s.

The in-laws' lake house has a previously used, now unused 10-30,(laundry room was repurposed) on the front a front room in the house. anyone know if electricians would generally kill the juice to an old outlet like this? Or would it typically still be live? if that outlet is dead...or I'm just...
