    Supercharger - Mountain View, CA - 1049 El Monte Ave (under construction, 12 V3 stalls)

    Just found construction on a new supercharger in Mountain View CA on El Monte Av! The power cabinets seem to be installed already with construction started on the supercharger stalls just beginning.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    And I do still have my '65 Chevy Impala! Yea, it does need some notable work to be drivable again though.

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    I really doubt that Tesla has AC on any car that is on or off! I have a 2012 MS P90 and it has never been like that. I'm pretty sure that the AC units have only gotten better!

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    In my 2012 MS P85/90 I get 360Wh/mi lifetime 87K+ miles. Since last charge is currently 307 and current trip is 297. I am always impressed when I get below 300!

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    After an update a while ago the ghost texts stopped showing for me up but there are certainly a lot of issues with the current interface! Maybe they should also put up a small window on the MCU with concurrent but more powerful controls. Wouldn't hurt if they could better support group messages...

    Model S Software/Firmware wishlist

    And when a text message is not correctly recognized as being html format, the voice spells out every word and takes forever! 😬 Then if navigation voice interrupts the text message reading, it comes back afterwards and you can't stop it! 🤯

    Supercharger - Marysville, CA (LIVE 6 Feb 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    I grew up in Marysville and am not surprised to see something like that. Not the most progressive place around... 🤔

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    Tinning a wire with solder is not a good idea for anything that can get hot. The solder can melt, increasing the resistance and therefore the temperature which can cause a fire!

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    10 years ago today I took a picture of my chauffeur Gizmo driving my Tesla MS P85! He's gone now but this sure brings back great memories!

    Oregon Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    In 2013 my wife and I drove our, then new, MS P85 from the SF bay area up 5 to Portland, then over to Yellowstone, down to Denver, over to Kansas City. Then back to Denver, down to Albuquerque, over to the Grand Canyon, then Vegas and home again. We drove 5540 miles total over 3 weeks. We...

    Oregon Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Harris Ranch on I-5 in CA now has 98 superchargers! So, yes. I wouldn't be surprised if 50 superchargers in OR

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    You are correct. I overstated the current. I didn't know that the M3 SR/RWD had such a small charger.

    Model S - HPWC (High Power Wall Connector)

    My 2012 MSP charges at 80 amps. But I know that the onboard charger was increased to 72 amps from 40 amps and the second charger was removed. As far as I know yours should charge at the full 72 amps unless there is an issue with either the wall charger or onboard charger.

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    Yes, that's what I tried to say... 🤔
