    Supercharger - Hauppauge, NY

    I stopped by here on Saturday on my way out east. I had enough juice to make it to Manorville and considered draining my battery deeper to get a faster charging rate, but i needent have worried. I plugged in for 15 minutes and added about 95 miles of Rated Range. Please see my charging stats...

    Supercharger - Brooklyn, NY

    I rode in an Uber Model Y the other day and was told that the driver owned that particular vehicle and had 6 months free supercharging. i agree with most that cars with TLC plates should not have access to free supercharging. I told him that the math would look a lot different once his free...

    Supercharger - New York City - W 75th Street

    I actually decided to use this chather last night and had a pretty decent experience. the parking fees here are rediculous.. $49/hr for the 1st hour after 10 am... but you get the full 72 kW and my car said that it was getting 74kW for more than 40 minutes.. which I think is wonderful. there...

    Supercharger - Brooklyn, NY

    i'm currious, do all these TLC vehicles pay to charge? or are they getting free supercharging? at $0.49/kWh it sounds to me like SCing is more expensive than gas. my S85D battery failed at the eed of October 2023 and when I went to Tesla in Redhook in early November to reair/replace the...

    Ford says owners can start using superchargers today (Feb 29)

    so no 72 KW SuperChargers for non-tesla vehicles? that's disappointing. The urban chargers in and arround Manhattan are my primary source of charging my S85D. I had intended on getting an R1S in Januray 2024 for my birthday but when my 85D battery pack failed in November fo 2023 and I had it...

    Interview with Tesla Supercharger Team member

    This is the SCer that is georgaphically closest to my home but it as attocious parking fees and I therefore almost never use it. in a pinch, i'll stop by this location early in the morning b/c the "earlybird" parking rate is "reasonable" there is a starbucks around the corner where one might...

    Supercharger - Brooklyn, NY - N. 12th Street

    parking has gone up to $22 for the 1st hour (up from the long time price of $11) second hour is still an extra $4 (i belive it is per hr, but i've never stayed at this location more than 2 hrs so I cannot say) Still cheaper than the garages in Manhattan, but not nearly the savings it once was...

    Supercharger - Manhattan - Vesey St, NY

    I decided to stop by this location yesterday as I needed a charge and didn't have time to drive out to Williamsburg last night anbd I had another disappointing charging experience. these chargers seem to max out at 56 KW rather than 72 or 74 KW that I generally get from other "urban" SCers...

    Maximum battery charge level reduced - warranty about to expire

    I too suspect the OP will get a "new" 90 KW battery. I expect same will be software limited to what a new 85 KW battery would max out at. on the off chance that they do have an older 85KW battery lying around (I am told these are all but exhausted as far as 1st party repalcement packs from...

    Maximum battery charge level reduced - warranty about to expire

    While I was figuring out what to do with my battery repalcement (3rd party refurb vs "new" 90 KW pack with a 48 month, 48,000 mile waranty from Tesla) and I was going back and forth with the Tesla reps, they told me I could "drop the car off at any time." I had an appintment for Nov 8th and was...

    Maximum battery charge level reduced - warranty about to expire

    If I were you I would do whatever you needed to do to make sure Tesla sees your car prior to the expiration of the warranty. If you alert them to the issue prior to the expiration, their policy is to honor the warranty as the issue arose prior to the expiration of the warranty. However, As...

    Are we stuck with low supercharge 2015 s 85d?

    I stopped by the SC in N Bergen next to the Starbucks last Sunday 10.15.23 to test my SCing speeds and I am happy to report the results were better than anticipated. Although TeslaFi reports a max of 94 KW, I definately saw the charging ramp up to 106 KW and stay above 100 KW for several...

    Interview with Tesla Supercharger Team member

    I listed to the podcast starting from 7:22 and found it most informative as a Manhattan resident without a dedicated parking space to park or charge. I went back and listed to the conversation in it's entirety. Mr. Xiao made a few eronious assumptions regarding parking and charging in the 5...
