Confirmed: the Savannah airport supercharger is being disassembled.

I'll go check it out this weekend.

Tesla indicates that this charger is partially operational today, but I didn't have time to confirm. If nobody beats me to it, I'll test it on 2/6.

Are you really experienced using FSD? It sounds like you weren't either applying torque to the steering wheel or manipulating the scroll wheels... letting the car know you're there and paying attention. There are some quirks, for sure, but this sounds like you weren't giving the car the right...

I like the part about simple BLE commands to the car for charging-start & charging-stop. I'm somewhat handy with Arduino, and I might give that a try, if I can get an Arduino Giga or Arduino Nano 33 BLE to pair with the car. Any tips on that step? The other part of "excess solar", though, is...

How did you get it to prioritize the PW before charging the car? I thought from what's been said that the only way to do that is to set the PW reserve to 100%... which kind of prevents discharging from the PW unless the grid is down.

This. For those wanting to fill the PW before dumping excess into the car (to avoid exporting at the cheap price that the utility wants to pay), I think someone suggested raising the PW reserve threshold to ensure the PW gets charged up before the car. The problem is that when the PW is below...

It's happening. Somehow, charting the rarity of my car's software... helps maintain my sanity. I'm (still) in the green 10.69.25 group. The straight lines and smooth curves are mesmerizing. FWIW, they seem to be updating 10.69 variants impartially.

You're implying that we know FSD was engaged (or AP, or TACC). We do not.

Can any Walnut Creek locals confirm the exact location is here, northbound, just past the N. Main St. interchange? As a Walnut Creek ex-pat, and intermediate Google Maps user, I'm about 98% confident. An East Bay Times article (sorry, paywall) says it's at the Treat Blvd. exit, but I think...

Not sure what reinvigorated this thread. At any rate, these techniques are well-proven in literature by Dr. W.E. Coyote and the Acme Corporation, et. al.

This is incorrect. TACC/AP/FSD can be engaged with set speed higher than the speed limit with feet on the floor.

Driver was responsible for controlling the vehicle. Stopping from highway speed, in the middle of a lane change, in a dark tunnel... is a pretty despicable move.

Just to kick around the solar trickle charge idea a little. It isn't really feasible to trickle charge a high voltage battery. To do so, you'd need to generate hundreds of DC Volts, and there isn't really a mechanism for a Tesla to DC charge without a Tesla Supercharger (which has...
