See if you had free supercharging on FSD as a start. Batteries can be recycled at redwood materials and other companies, there's battery value just as a "crusher vehicle". Also there are battery repair shops in California that know how to fix a few bad batteries (that Tesla won't fix). And now...

I was hoping this would be a magic dock site. Also the location name should not be Leavenworth, how about Coles Corner? Anything but L.

I wish I had a local place in Seattle that could have replaced them for me, but I paid tesla the $1800 or whatever it was. That particular repair seems like highway robbery since the parts are cheap and the videos make it look fairly easy. If I had any guts I'd have bought some heavy duty lifts...

Thanks for that, it's a great resource. Is there a mailing list that would tell me when there are new magic docks, kind of an addition to your tableau viz? I missed the one at Forks, WA until I saw it on your tableau viz!

As of this date in Oct 2023, new hotel is under construction, no charging here.

This is great, I hope that they add some on the other side of the state too. I guess putting two of them so close together means there was an easier training or maintenance process. I want one them in the Seattle area. It's my understanding it's an easy adaptation and just needs a software...

I have exactly the same problem, 2015 s that had complained for a while of random parking brake problems and then after I get my Tesla service last week and mentioned it to them they said I need a new caliper and they ordered it and then I came home and it was permanently locked now. I'm going...

Hi, I have a 2015 S85. I'm looking for a privacy or sun shade. I think the window format didn't significantly change until the advent of the Plaid. I'm looking for covers for the back and/or side windows especially, wanting to block it out if you were camping or sleeping in the back. I see...

The dealers have so much political power/campaign finance bribery power. It's hard to see how they will not pass laws to protect them even more. I wonder what the limits are. I just got a Rivian truck in Washington state, apparently only Tesla has a "dealer not needed exclusion" here. Rivian...

If you only drive 20 miles a day, just use a regular 120v outlet. You'll get 3.5 or 4 miles of range added per house. Dont tell anyone but since 2012(!) I've never bothered to upgrade my power. A few times I've plugged into my drier outlet for faster power, but that about 40-50 miles of range...

Thanks for the friendly notice. I think I got to the inactive thread via google search for yakima supercharger ;-)

Surprised no one has posted about this. There is actually a supercharger in Yakima - next to a Bob's Burgers. There is another small brewpub with outdoor dining directly behind the supercharger area, next to the trampoline center. It's fine, not that much around it, except a mall across the street.

I'm excited for these other dc chargers to get installed everywhere. tesla us should sell an expensive converter for ccs. I'm also looking forward to my next Rivian coming soon ;-) I've had a tesla since 2012 but I'm hoping the rivian will have that magic mix of range, cool features, and charger...

You are exactly rIght, T3SLAROD. When I put the down payment on my first tesla in 2011, I heard all that same stuff about it would never happen, never be worth it, it would be a golf cart, too expensive. Rivian does really feel like they have excellent potential to repeat Tesla's success. I...
