Stopped here on 12.29.23 direct from Omaha. OS temp was about 25. SOC was 30%. Still only got 50kw!! Anyone with more recent experience? Will be coming thru again and will need to chose. Thanks.

Charged here back in Dec. I was the only car there, SOC was 50%, and still only got 50kw from the 250! Can anyone share their experience with this charger as I'll be coming thru soon and will need to chose. Thanks.

This is one of the biggest screwups the SC Team has ever made! There are distant corners of the parking lot (NE best) that very likely would have worked. Instead, we get bad feelings and bad PR. Tesla should take responsibility, bite the bullet, and move it!! It's going to get much much...

Sorry, coming to this thread so late because my 2016 MX didn't have this problem. But my newly purchased used 2020 MX definitely has it. It disengages repeatedly on a clear road, without warning, with my hands applying proper rotational torque. It disengages repeatedly. 5 or 6 or 7 times...

Sorry, coming to this thread late because my 2016 MX didn't have the problem. My newly purchased used 2020 MX definitely has it. It disengages repeatedly on clear road, without warning. 5 or 6 or 7 times in under 5 minutes. Indefinitely if I keep trying. Yes, I'm putting firm torque on the...

The site is super active. Ground torn up and tons of machines, equipment and Tesla charge tower boxes sitting behind steel fencing. It's a real life Supercharger installation!

How did you message Tesla that got you such a quick response? I've tried many addresses and response time is terrible.

I recently ordered a Gen 2 NEMA Adapter kit but rec'd a J1772 connector! Yes, the phone number 925-273-8240 is still on the shipping label and is still 100% busy, and [email protected] still doesn't respond. Guess I'm in for a long ordeal.

Hey Tesla, please develop Sentry Mode for the 2016 MX. Yes, we know it could have a limited functionality due to the hardware NOT on the car, But at least it'd be better than nothing.

I hung a curtain in the middle of my garage and drove at it slowly. Several times. The car (2016 MX) did not apply the brakes. Don't know it it's the low speed (creep) or what. May try to find a way to do same thing at a higher speed some day.

Might have to unhook and park the trailer nearby. Or maybe someone will build an extension chord of proper weight and specs and length to reach.

Love the FWDs! They are defining. Major reason for my choice in 2016. Especially fun in a parade with them open, music playing, and second row seats occupied by waving dignitaries and a German Shephard. Now, if I could just get the "door-open warning bell" to shut off........ Luckily it's...

The yolk steering wheel is crap. Many of us drive with one hand at 12 o'clock ALL THE TIME. They need to make it an OPTION, nothing more.

Charged here last night for the first time in a long time. First tried tower 3B but the cable would not fully seat into the port. Charging never started (car kept reporting 'open charge port' - it was open!). Tried forcing it in deeper about 4 times. Never got any green 'charging' lights on...

For the newbie to the Sioux City supercharger conversation, here’s the current situation: Construction on the Tesla SC has not been started. Tesla is still saying “Second Qtr 2021”, but who knows. For now, the best you can do is Chademo. But luckily there are two (or so I’ve been told. I...
