    Supercharger - Elverson, PA - Peter J. Camiel Service Plaza

    I just stopped by and it’s still offline - can’t wait to see this station activate….

    Tesla MY haters on the highways

    Thank you to everyone for the viewpoints - all great ones! I think there are two issues to separate here. One issue is how fast you should be driving in the left-most lane when it is an HOV-designated lane (not the "fast lane" on other highways). The other issue is whether or not MYs and...

    Tesla MY haters on the highways

    I love sailing past the traffic in the HOV lane - it's now a Tesla express lane out here. Tapping on the brakes used to be my ICE way of dealing with tailgaters but with MY, I actually care about not getting into a fender bender 🤣. gotta try the slowly reducing speed trick!

    Tesla MY haters on the highways

    I was wondering about that, but have always drop out of AP when traffic starts to get congested so it's not like I'm phantom breaking and they have to break suddenly. The ones that drive me crazy are the cars that feel like you cut them off, they zoom around you and try to slice off your front...

    Tesla MY haters on the highways

    OK, so I don't think I drive that differently from when I had an ICE car to now. But as people start returning to the morning and evening commute, I've had more aggressive behavior from other drivers than at any time I can recall before the pandemic. If I'm AP'ing in the HOV lane at 80, or...

    Deciding on second EV, a non-Tesla

    Get ready for the HOT weather! :). I'm also in AZ and completely agree, the non-Tesla charging network is unreliable. Unless you want to charge at L2 speed. Then there's plenty around. After driving the MY for a few months, with a few longer distance trips, I don't really think much about...

    Model Y PPF and window tinting options in AZ

    BeauMoto in PHX area for PPF. He comes to you. Did the front for me and excellent job.

    Y vs X

    LOL! But even with the stiffer suspension, the seats are by far the most comfortable of any car I have owned. Now, I have not owned the highest end luxury cars, but cars in Model Y's price range, size, or class all have inferior seats IMHO. Completely agree on the handling. Would rather...

    Model Y Cargo box safe?

    Really? I’d love to see the data on that. Aerodynamics is a major factor versus weight. I have a trailer for kayaks and other lightweight gear that I used to use for another car. I haven’t taken it out yet with the Y but was looking forward to testing it out. I also have an old school Thule...

    Cell phone volume issue

    I have this issue too. iPhone 11.

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    This is correct, my Y doesn't have the option. It's definitely a lot stronger regen compared to the i3. But I kinda prefer it now. Makes 1-pedal driving effortless once you figure out how much pedal to use before releasing for full regen braking. Also really like the "hold" when the Y comes...

    Supercharger stations full?

    I am very impressed with the other SC stations across the AZ, NM, and CO areas. Clean, several options for bathrooms and eating, and generally pleasant experience. I'm sure it will be better as the new chargers are online...

    tire replacement already 10K miles!

    https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/burn+rubber jk! 10K seems really unusual. Even for OEM. Maybe highway roads are especially rough and eating up tires more than other roads?

    Supercharger - Gallup, NM

    I think it is 2 V2s. Was just through there last week and charging was slooooooooow ;).

    Supercharger stations full?

    Normally there are 4, but with new install there may be double that. The hotel where the SCs were located was really obnoxious - would not let folks go in to use the bathroom. Had to run like chickens across a busy, truck-infested road to a gas station across the street. Not much in this SC...
