I'm on Android app 4.23.2-1815 and still can't add my wall connector (USA).

I had a few false starts, but I think the thing that actually resulted in success was forgetting the car in my bluetooth settings and pairing again using the car's bluetooth menu. The things I actually did were to: delete the key in the car forget the car in the car security section of the...

Transformer is in!

I clearly overestimated the significance of this development and apparently the risk of scrappers in South Chesterfield too. Almost two weeks later and there is no development. This feels like a stupid thing were they were waiting on inspection and the inspector failed them for having not...

My free charging ended in January, but it looks like Tesla is aware of the free supercharging hangover. I guess if I had manually reboot the car (updates don't count) after my free charging period ended it wouldn't have happened. I really wish more things were available cross platform (Car...

Can we talk about how expensive the rate is at this location? $0.34/kWh when the retail rate is like $0.11; easily 300% markup and they probably get lower pricing than retail. And this is a 150kWh location, so it's slower to boot. I hope the Colonial Heights location gets a transformer soon and...

I just had this happen for my first non-free supercharger visit (meaning I've never seen this work properly, all my supercharging to the point was free from using a referral code). I was charged for the stop, but when selecting the super charger on the map, it did not show any rate information...

They pulled the supply lines from the utility (at the existing 150kVA transformer) through the conduit for the supercharger transformer. Given the risk of theft, I feel like that means the transformer is coming very soon. They are wrist thick wires, so even aluminum would be a target of scrappers.

I go a few times a week for lunch and will definitely post when I see that big green box show up (750kVA, 480VAC 3-Phase output). The one at the Sheetz on Midlothian has been waiting for a transformer even longer. Maybe both will show up at the same time.

Compressor is installed on the other side of the lot now. Still no transformer.

Still no sign of the transformer, nor a new location for the air compressor.

It looks like Tesla is now targeting locations based on actual car location and state of charge data as well as time added to trips for cars in transit. I don't think amenities top the list anymore. They may even be tracking locations of phones with the Tesla app to figure out where people spend...

Future me here: When the update freeze finally lifted after MONTHS, things improved drastically and I use cruise control and autopilot all the time. However, my new issue is sometimes my wipers decide they need to full blast on clear sunny days. A couple times it was from a spot of dirt on in...

I charged here mid January and I have to be honest, the location is not great as far as amenities. Royal Farms is no Wawa and you can't really walk to anything else. Convenient as far as getting on-off the major roads though and fast charging. I'd give it a 3/10. Similar story where I am, they...

Like all vision-only cars, my wipers go into Auto when using cruise control or lane-assist and cannot be taken out of auto. In the fall, I had a major issue with the wipers turning on randomly on dry, sunny days, this was especially true when driving through mottled shadows cast by the sun...
