This really isn't that unusual. We almost never see permits before mid-April.

Yeah I'm going to give it another month or two before getting pessimistic about 2024.

Why do you say that? The network has been expanding at a pretty steady pace the last few years, and now they have government funding. Permits don't usually start up until April/May here.

Haven't seen anything yet, but considering we gained 9 last year, I would predict a similar amount for 2024. Tesla's Find Us page was always unreliable, and they have really pulled back from listing "Coming Soon" locations. Locations I would bet money on this year are: Virginia Grand Rapids...

Looks like it won't be available to the public, but I thought it was an interesting find, nonetheless. https://mn.itic.occinc.com/mnrecApp/ticketSearchAndStatusView.jsp?enc=Du57QCdC36MfSgXjIPr1qAEBmEebq%2F8ZyyaXyRx%2BglgTKC6UKpHwiJ87hwVO9aS4 First or second hit on Google shows "NA-US-MN-HERTZ...

I don't know the extent of the damage, and the timing just seemed too coincidental. Didn't want to seem overly speculative given that extra information. Also, under Job Number, it says "230327 TOFTE LIGHT POLE" I guess we'll see.

Possible expansion, or L2 chargers? Just stumbled across this: https://www.searchandstatus.com/mnrecApp/ticketSearchAndStatusView.jsp?enc=pIaYlKcVj%2FkGI7etvp84dbXxHq3IuIHwD5pFddAdyDtVB0g6PnqzPZhF%2BGPz6TJh Disregard. Likely just repairs, according to some damage reported on Plugshare. Sorry...

Mankato, MN.

I use Michelin Crossclimate 2s. Wow, $275 is way too steep - that has changed dramatically since the last time I had them do it. Pretty sure it was close to $100 back in 2020. That's really odd that the other shops are telling you that. I've never heard of them needing to 'calibrate' anything...

Lol what? Any tire shop should be able to. I take mine to Tires Plus. It's a wheel alignment, not a pack replacement. For what it's worth, the Tesla service centers will do it for a pretty reasonable price as well.

This is pretty awesome. It will eliminate the need to stop at Dows most of the time when I need to head to Des Moines.

If they are the urban chargers, it’s funny they didn’t just put them down at the Southdale center

About time! Definitely an appreciable upgrade. Now if they could just work on an upgrade path for La Crosse... The old 120kW sites are a bit painful at times 😅

Age is a much bigger factor with lead-acid batteries than mileage. How many years old is it? I received no warnings - one day my cabin lights just started fading and the MCU and windows went whacky. Then my car wouldn't start - hence starting this thread. Menards has the correct battery size...

Still better than zero.
