Bummer! If this is what Tesla owners gave to look forward to with Supercharger “sharing,” I’m not very hopeful. Half the bats were ICE’d and another two were straddled by a Chevrolet EV and a third, while looking like a Tesla SC had only a non-Tesla connector. Crazy. 😝

With the hoards that will pass through San Antonio in April, for total eclipse viewing in the Hill Country, this SC is needed. Wish they’d get their act together. (Austin has about a dozen SCs, but S.A., a larger city, has three. )

Thanks, but that would be adding to my woes: still the same boring Tesla color pallet. From what I’ve seen, a well-done wrap would give me a “new”, better protected and a uniquely colored Y.

Traded in my little red 2018 M3 last August for a new MY. Thought I'd save a couple of grand by getting the "midnight silver metallic." Now, I see myself on just about every corner.... boring. So, I'm seriously considering getting a full colored PPF wrap in a dark metallic green. Any thoughts...

I have same problem and it’s not consistent. I wrote to TuneIn support and they claim these “pre-roll” ads are inserted by the various stations themselves and not TuneIn. I beg to differ. I seriously doubt the Radio Classique in France is inserting ads for Shaw’s Supermarkets or even Macy’s...

Like Searover6, I picked up my 2018 Model 3 in Mt. Kisko, NY, got transit plates and drove home to Brunswick, Maine to register my car and pay the sales tax. I could not have done that in Massachusetts, unfortunately. Now, it seems like people here are going to New Jersey to pick up their new...

Thanks, "Woof." That may have been my problem, but I'll never know. This morning, I decided to just take the car our for a short drive and see what happened. Backing out of the garage, the scraping noise was very apparent, but within 100 meters of my house, the scraping noise stopped and never...

Went to back my Model 3 out of garage, loud clanging, screeching coming from left-right wheel, at even slowest speed, forward or reverse. Drove it back into garage, after making a video to send to Tesla Service. All Tesla is offering me is an appointment at their Danvers/Peabody service...

About to make my third long road trip in my Model 3 DM/LR. So far, I've found the online AAA TripTik to provide the best routing details (including SuperChargers), but it cannot help me determine my range and which SCs I need to include. What do some of you use for trip planning that can...

Reminds me of when I was a boy, growing up in Texas in the 1950’s. Every Ford you saw came with this on their rear window. Wonder if Tesla will do likewise?

The new TI UI is a hodge-podge mess, with users' "Favorites" broken up across different categories, but not all Favorites can be found anywhere! They have added categories (radio stations) I don't even want. Even when logged on with my TI premium account, I can't access all my Favorites. They...

Not only does the TuneIn service keep logging me out, but when I am logged on, not all my "Favorites" are available. The new UI is complex and hard to navigate, especially while driving. Some of my Favorites are present, but broken up across various categories. There is no longer a single...

My sweet "Amber" is now eighteen months old. Red was my only choice... all my neighbors voted and it was unanimous. I've never regretted getting a red Model 3. Hey, my first car, some fifty years ago was a red Opal Kadett! I made a month-long road trip from Maine to Texas earlier this year...

Texas has been hostile to Tesla over the years, overly restricting its operations and sales. I guess that might change. Maybe those good ol' boys in Austin finally see oil is not the wave of the future.

Living in Maine, I have a two hour drive to our nearest SC in Peabody (North Short) Massachusetts. Other than a long dive, I've had nothing but excellent service. They have an attentive and knowledgeable Service Manager, Shawn, who takes care of us from scheduling to completion. Nice...
