Strange. I pulled in there on Sunday, and there were 8. However the first two I tried only charged about 13 miles before giving me a red ring, and stopping charging. Not had that issue before, and luckily didn't need more range to make it back to Houston. I wonder if only 4 are fully functional...

Last camping trip: 1 x 8 person tent, 1 x gazebo, 2 kid camp chairs, 2 adult camp chairs. Oh, and 2 x kid clothing bags. In the cubby I have Tesla branded case that fits the cubby perfectly, loaded with stove, gas, camp kitchen supplies etc etc. you have to see it to believe that much stuff...

I work for a major operator in Eagleford, Permian and other on and offshore oil & gas fields. There are 3 or more Teslas in our HQ parking garage in Houston. Mine is one. I tend to find that most geoscientists think that man made climate change is a thing, and are perhaps more aware than most...

I was at the galleria today. Parked right next to the Tesla area, and saw some new signs. Seems to contradict the message you got from the mothership! All spots were full, I think of demo cars, but I was able to get a couple of electrons whilst there in a neighboring bay.

Thanks for your report. That's a little concerning about Sweetwater. It would be nice to know what Tesla think the issue is or was, and if it is resolved. Every time we do a road trip, my wife is a little concerned about the enforced stops every 200 miles, and if a charger was down that would...

Ok, I do see what you're saying here, but I just recently returned from a 622 mile drive, almost entirely on interstates, and almost entirely on autopilot, and had maybe 5 times (in the 9 hours and 17 minutes of driving) when the I got the 'muting the music' level of the warning. Maybe my...

Are Perkins Road and S Acadian Thruway open fully? Google still says not, but I find that hard to believe after a week!

We charged at Slidell on Sat 13th, and called Tesla to verify status of Baton Rouge. They said that it was experiencing significantly reduced power, but they didn't share details. As it turned out, I-12 was then closed, and we stopped for the day. On Sunday morning we headed the I-10 route to...

Having no spare was a considerable negative for me when considering Model S. I decided to take the chance however, although do have the Tesla inflators and repair kit if needed. In my previous vehicle, a 2007 Nissan xTerra, I had about 5 flats over 7 years. Most I think were in our back...

Another vote for Android Auto! I'd love a CarPlay or Android Auto interface. Ideally the android one, as I personally like the speed at which Google iterates and improves their big data offerings. I would hope that it is possible with the epic tesla screen and hardware, and I think it would be...

Edge here.

S6 works fine for me so far. No issues with any sync or audio.
