I recently installed the latest update and it includes the walk-away door lock with the option of excluding home. Pretty simple, check the box if you want to exclude auto door lock at home. In my case the answer would be yes, check the box and hold the unlocked condition. However I don’t...

Tesla continues to pass over Charleston, they keep moving the supercharger target date back. The City of Charleston has a few J1772 chargers in the muni parking ramps which helps but obviously a supercharger station is well past due for this major tourist destination. The 2021 PGA is scheduled...

The irony here is that I-26 from I-95 to Charleston is designated and posted as an alternate fuel corridor and along that route there is only one Tesla charging source (semi-public destination charger at Springhill Suites in N. Charleston).I assume there is some federal funding that goes with...

We never go to the SC coast without a long extension cord.

I have been lobbying for destination chargers on Kiawah for over a year. You may be aware that the Sanctuary Resort has a destination charger but they charge a $25 valet fee and priority goes to resort guests. I have paid the valet fee on occasion but last year the car came back with curb rash...

Charleston, SC - Badly needed; never the bride and always the bridesmaid - Charleston, SC Kiawah Island, SC - The Hamptons of the Southeast, too many Teslas to count and the closest supercharger is 95 miles away - Kiawah Island, SC

There seems to have been a great deal of stupid surrounding this project. The broken windows may not be the end of the mistakes.

Well there were people who thought the Aztec was really cool too! However the Aztec is mild on the fugly scale compared to this disaster. I'm sure Tesla will be able to sell some, but Tesla has totally missed the opportunity to score big in the pickup truck market. The earlier Tesla truck...

This area desperately needs a supercharger, the closest Tesla level 3 is in Santee, 85 miles from Charleston. In a pinch I have used the Tesla destination chargers at the Springhill Suites on I-26 for some comfort miles on my way back to Santee. The Springhill Suites at this location does not...

This afternoon I did a follow-up on the Tesla charging station telephone number I posted...it turns out that this is a direct line to technical support for Tesla HOME charger installation. He could not give me a telephone number for anyone connected with the Supercharger team, but there is an...

Yup! Are you in SC?

Yes, in fact that has been our new charging routine; stop at Santee, get a full charge and continue to the coast. If we don't do a lot of driving in the Charleston area we should have enough to get back to Santee. If we find that we are close to running out of range, we stop at the Springhill...

We have used the Sanctuary charger on several occasions, but it isn't public and it really isn't convenient. They only have one, so if there is more than one Tesla on the property you have to wait your turn. And the charger is in the hotel loading dock area, so your car has to be valeted...

Charleston is not transparent when it comes to various permit processes. If you need a building permit in a hurry you are on the wrong planet. There are a number of good sites in Charleston or near the 526 beltline (the airport for example). I keep searching for information on a Charleston...

Good to know.
