    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    Like BCCA above, my service appt. only took about 35-40 minutes.

    Pyro Fuse Fuss

    2017 Model S 75D Received alert BMS_u031 to replace battery fuse a week or so ago. Made service appt. and received an estimate of $280. Took it in today and was told the repair was covered under the battery warranty. No charge.

    App shows car as parked even when car is being driven.

    I’m experiencing the same thing—shows parked while being driven. I suspect a bug in the app. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

    Supercharger - Tempe, AZ

    I was there late afternoon on the day before Thanksgiving. After reading these posts I was dreading the line I would find on such a heavy travel day. On the way there the nav kept saying “short wait” and then “medium wait,” but, when I arrived, there were three empty spots. Sometimes you get lucky.

    Supercharger - Yuma, AZ

    Not true now. I was at Yuma this afternoon. None of the new units were running. One or two of the older chargers were down as well. It was a mess. I got there just in time. At one point three cars were waiting.

    Tinting

    I used Affordable Window Tinting on Grant. That was four years ago. No problems.

    MCU2 Benefits

    Not true. I have a 2017 S75D. Originally FSD/HW2/MCU1. Upgraded to HW3/MCU2. I now have Sentry/Dashcam recording with notifications. No new cameras needed. Note though that front and side cameras are not full color. (Probably best described as washed out color.) Rear camera is full color. Later...

    Supercharger - Socorro, NM

    I’ve driven Albuquerque to TorC a number of times in my 75D. Usually not a problem, but once I did arrive with only 8% due to a headwind. You’ll probably be fine.

    Supercharger - Albuquerque NM

    I have driven I25 a number of times and used the Albuquerque supercharger. While it is strategically located to serve both I25 and I40, it can be a hassle to reach due to heavy traffic. It is located in the small parking lot of an Applebees restaurant and has only six stalls. Now apparently...

    Supercharger - Shelby, IA

    Yes, as I recall, the building is designed to look like an old fashioned red barn.

    Supercharger - Shelby, IA

    Just an FYI. I went through Shelby today. The gas station where the Superchargers are located is closed for remodeling, but the chargers are working. For food service and restrooms you’ll have to cross over to Loves on the other side of the interstate.

    Supercharger - Las Cruces, NM

    Yes, I agree that with Deming and El Paso superchargers in place, Las Cruces would be nice but is not really necessary. I also agree that Socorro, NM is necessary. It has been "coming soon" for a number of years. I have driven between Albuquerque and T or C a number of times without a problem...

    IRO DashCam - Model S AP2 unboxing

    Thanks. In your pictures it looks closer to the color of my car than in many other pictures I’ve seen. The variations probably result from varied lighting when the pictures are taken.

    IRO DashCam - Model S AP2 unboxing

    Question about color match.... I am thinking of getting one of these, but I note in the pictures on the net that the IRO dash cam appears to be medium to light gray. The mirror housing on my S 75D (AP2) is very dark gray, probably black. I know that colors in pictures on the net can be...
