The Treasury dept had simply delayed implementing some of the battery content restrictions until 2024 to give them and automakers time to work out all the details. It was unrelated to the aforementioned incremental increases in the minimum percentages of battery minerals/components from North...

Given the highly unusual traffic patterns on and around April 8th 2024 (the day of the eclipse) with people driving to/from the path of totality, I thought it would be valuable/interesting to create a thread for people to share their experiences, particularly any congestion (or lack thereof)...

Wow. The rebates are being awarded real slow. Only 306 in the past 3 weeks according to the figures on the website. Unless they pick up the pace significantly, it’ll take months before the rest get awarded.

I'm quite intrigued by how this all works with the adapter (although my understanding is certainly impeded by a lack of fully understanding how the existing CCS communication protocols work in practice. But with that said...) In the video that you linked here, the "Director of Charging...

V3 Superchargers have liquid cooled cables, so any extension cable would have to be extra thick and heavy to carry the same current without overheating. And I’m guessing it would also probably require temperature sensors at one or both ends to throttle the current in case of overheating at the...

That link isn't working for me. It got hyperlinked weird. This should work: https://www.tesla.com/findus?v=2&bounds=54.31521760104852,-58.133790250000004,21.940969366305985,-140.39941525&zoom=5&filters=supercharger,nacs,party

You also need to consider that due to charge port locations a Ford plugging in to a Supercharger will often block 2 stalls intead of just 1.

Sure. My point was just that as other OEMs get access to the Supercharger Network, there will be less reason to specifically buy a Tesla over one of those other OEMs specifically for DC charging.

The Supercharger Network + fast and reliable DC charging would've been another good choice in this poll. Although that unique benefit to Tesla will be significantly diminished over the coming years as other OEMs adopt NACS and get access to significant portions of the Supercharger Network.

I’m similarly perplexed by that claim. It shouldn’t be possible based on what we know. I’d think you should be safe, having mailed yours on Nov 1st. There are lots more rebates still yet to be awarded based on the latest numbers posted online as of Feb 13th. They seem to be taking their time.

An app update already went out (version 4.2.7) that fixed the issue for me. Pretty good turnaround time. 👍

I did some quick internet snooping, and this one is kinda bizarre... Per Google Maps / PlugShare / Yelp photos, as recently as last October there were parking signs at each parking spot. Half of the signs said "TESLA Vehicle Charging Only" and the other half said "TESLA 15 Minute General...

For reference, in this thread about someone with a similar issue, Tesla Service ended up replacing the "right side body controller and right rear window regulator assembly" to fix the issue.

Same here. It was working normally yesterday, then my iPhone installed the 4.2.5 version of the S3XY iOS app overnight, and now it won't connect to my phone today. I tried turning on/off bluetooth, restarting app, restarting the phone, unplugging and plugging back in the commander...
