    Memphis Service Center?!

    Had my S in for service this week, got to talking with the rep and found out they're planning to relocate to Covington Pike at the start of 2021. As part of the move he said they'd be a proper Tesla "dealership" able to accept deliveries and handle more vehicles for service. ETA was 4-5 months...

    Nashville to Memphis and back

    This is quite an old thread, there are now Superchargers in Jackson and Memphis. Little Rock is still a WIP but just keep up with the thread for it and you'll be fine when it comes online. I drove Memphis - Charlotte round trip two weeks ago averaging 80mph and I never once had any range...

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    Yeah I avoided using the term "favorite" since asking Memphians for their favorite BBQ joint usually sparks a holy war; that said I will second getting comissary, it's worth it just not as easy to get to for out of towners. Suffice to say THX1139 there is no right or wrong answer for good BBQ...

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    Walking distance not so much, but a very short Uber ride (<2 miles) would take you to a few. Corky's is a little to the west on Poplar (just on the other side of East I-240), that's a pretty good crowdpleaser as they cater to most types of BBQ. Pyro's (in the SpC parking lot) is a local pizza...

    "Charge cable fault"

    Since it's only day 3 I'd chalk it up to user error, my first few weeks of ownership were filled with little learning experiences (e.g. optimal angle to insert the charging plug). That said if the problem persists make certain to contact an electrician and Tesla. I had my UMC throw the same...

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    It's possible they've updated the configuration as last night I was able to break 80kW on it (had cold batteries and a 30% SoC). Kept a solid 75kW until I disconnected around 65% SoC. My new UMC arrived last night so I won't be using the SpC nearly as frequently now.

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    Over here at the supercharger now, Tesla reps from Nashville are here doing some test drives for prospective customers in town. Got to test drive a XP90D while my lowly S85 was charging. Things of interest, they know the Memphis SpC is underperforming (the rep wasn't sure why) and they don't...

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    Originally there was going to be an event for the launch of the Memphis SpC but it got cancelled with the delays. Does anyone know if that event is going to be rescheduled? And would anyone have interest in doing a meetup now that we've got our SpC online? Also fun side note, my UMC failed last...

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    Stopped by to test every charger pair (1B, 2A, 3A, and 4B) and they all topped out at ~40kW and settled in around 38kW. I started off at 60% charge so it could easily go above the limits we've been seeing. After calling support about the issue the rep stated "my battery was too cold to accept...

    Good to know. I'm hopeful we're still in the burn-in phase for the new SpC equipment and once everything proves stable they unlock the full speed charging capability.

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    Has there ever been definitive proof of geofencing for locals? I can imagine they would for the heavier users but considering this is such a new installation I'm concerned it's a bad configuration. At this point I'm more worried for people passing through, since the Memphis-Jackson SpC combo...

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    The charger is starting to worry me a bit. I tried 3B at lunch today and it was never able to break 50kW. At the start no one else was there, when I returned someone was on 1A. I'm hoping the chargers output is just limited initially until they've verified everything is working properly.

    Supercharger - Memphis, TN

    I've never seen my car default to 100% when supercharging (but it usually is set there since supercharging usually = road trip). I'll be stopping by today around lunch time to test them out since it seems that no one is able to pull more than 70kW (both CSFTN and carlow's pics both show 70kW...

    Allowed to take photos. The tech had to take his site photos first. The white S in the photo is his car running a test charge.

    I'm sitting at the Supercharger now, we will be live in 30 minutes. Tech is here now, can't take any pictures yet (he asked me not to).
