Most of the stations in OK are run by a company called Francis Energy. I have not had an issue with payments they work via CC, EVgateway app or an RFID card you can get from them. They have had problems lately about getting parts to fix broken chargers, so there are some chargers out of...

I have used my CCS adapter a lot now. In OK there are 5 supercharger locations but around 250 CCS stations. The CCS ones are everywhere.

Well I never found out what happened with my cabin camera. I traded it in for a new Model 3. I tried to get it into service during the 2 weeks prior to trade in, but of course you cannot get an appointment in 2 weeks...

One thing that might be holding it up is compatibility with different vendor's chargers. I got a new Model 3 last week and wanted to try out the new CCS charge adapter. My 2018 prior M3 did not have the hardware support. I stopped at a station that had 2 different brands of chargers. One...

I just scheduled service for my cabin camera. It does not like to work in the mornings. In the afternoons I do not have an issue with it. I suspected a calibration problem. Bad lighting seems to cause it to complain. It went away after a few minutes until the last update where now it...

In Oklahoma the entire "Indian Territories" area is now black: When you drive into these areas the map is all black. I really do not like it since it very hard to read street names.

Hopefully Tesla releases a CCS adapter in NA soon. Looks like EA is going to stop putting in chademo adapters: https://www.evnewsdaily.com/2021/07/29/electrify-america-to-phase-out-chademo-29-july-2021/ The South Korean one passed certification and is supposed to come out during the second...

Well my Model 3 upper control arms started to squeak really bad. I have 100k miles on it. I had Tesla replace them and it made a huge difference in road noise. As described in previous posts in this and other threads, I pretty much sound treated the whole car (August 2018 AWD M3) and still...

They should allow transfer of FSD to a new Tesla for current FSD customers. Many have had this for years with little more than automatic lane changing sort of working. Perhaps if you pay full price you get 1-2 transfers in the first 7 years of ownership. If they allow 2 transfers, you could...

I believe that it is just trade offs they make. Each adjustment has positive and negative effects. It could help your particular driving route/situation, or it could hurt it. Adjusting, for example, autosteering to handle one case could cause it to behave slightly worse in some situations...

It would in some cases. I drive on Highways that go through towns, the speed limit drops down and the Tesla slows as the speed limit slows. When the speed limit goes up it will go up as long as it is under the speed you originally had set. So, in TX with 75 MPH speed limits, entering a town...

I believe it also only sees them when it thinks you are in town/city limits based on GPS. I live off a road that goes out of town for a mile between the interstate and my house. It now sees the speed limit signs and has a speed limit when I get off the interstate (used to not know the speed...

Oklahoma is covered with CHAdeMO chargers if you have the adapter...

On interstates it appears to only go via its GPS and MAP data, not what the camera sees. If you get on a federal/state highway you will have a very different experience. I have yet to see it "see" a sign over 65 MPH. Many TX highways I have been on in the past week where you are stuck doing...

It is very useful in Oklahoma, 5 superchargers in the state but hundreds of CHAdeMO stations all over. CHAdeMO is expensive (31 cents per minute plus $1 activation), but they are convenient.
