Drive a 2016 90D. Stopped in with about 90mile left and immediately got about 75kw. Went to the bathroom in the mall and came back to 12kw. Moved and got 60+kw. Just a little bit irritating. The worst for me had been Truckee behind Safeway, where you could start in the 70’s and come back in...

Oooooops. I see what I didn’t see earlier

Terran- So logically there is no valid/considerate reason to take up 2 charging spots. Taking a look the car has temporary plates which means it’s new. The only reasons someone would take two spots would be 1) your car doesn’t fit, not the case 2) you parked quickly and we coming right back...

What is it that people think

Common sense is common and lazy......good call

I know why there is a delay in charging. Since the bay are not used heavily yet the transformers shut down. When you plug in to a sleeping unit it takes a bit to turn on. I waited by the fans to see what happened when I plugged and there was a delay as the unit starts back up.

Yes. It seems to be. One car charging on bay 6A and I plugged into others with no result, but I plugged on 6B and charged up. Problem is that 6B is handicapped, but I used it anyway. I am not sure if I needed to stay plugged in to let the other bays turn on, but I got the red ring of death on...

Live in Santa Rosa and I wish they would get this one done. The Ukiah charger is almost useless if your headed north. I need to use it going north to top off, but I am having to charge the top end which is always much slower and it still doesn’t make it possible to do much, other than drive...

Anybody else notice how many of the charging stations are troubled. Today 2a would not accept a connection for instance and more than one does not maintain KW’s and runs the numbers up and down several times a minute. I hope the work there brings the bad ones up to standard. Something else I...

One should check out Stanford's latest battery improvement......the challenge of a 100% lithium battery may have been overcome with the addition of a little graphene. Estimate 5 years to commercialization with doubling of capacity. This is going to be quite a ride and there is little doubt...

Roseville is by the galleria mall, anchored by Nordstrom, not only do I save thousands, but I could fully charge 3 tesla from zero with time left over. Vacaville is not much better. Wife saw me posting this and inserted "happy wife, happy life"
