That sounds like a very unlikely location for a Supercharger. Most likely it is a destination charger and whoever you talked to was confused.

I saw a Model Y there today at lunch that might have been Tesla testing the Supercharger. Most of the fence was still up though.

Makes sense that it's another Meijer location. I had assumed it would be downtown but L2 charging is good enough there.

To me, having brown wood with a black & white interior looks out of place. I would not be thrilled with being forced into this combination if I were buying a new Model X since that's all that is offered on the refresh. I love the matte obeche in my Model X and it's a shame Tesla ever...

I find it interesting that Tesla's website identifies this only as a Store, rather than a Gallery or Service Center like Clarkston.

I took my Model X in for the steering bolt recall and it came back with a squeak like the one you're describing. Never had any issue prior to this service visit. Does it make sense for the two to be related? I'm green when it comes to anything mechanical with the car.

There is metal trim on the rim of the cupholders and the handle on the console door. Even though it's graphite, you could probably get away with it since they are small pieces.

The wood colors match up with seat color as follows: Linear Dark Ash -> White Figured Ash Burl -> Black Oak -> Cream The switchover to Graphite trim occurred in Spring 2018, at the same time Oak/Cream was introduced. The items labeled Graphite are for cars built since then. Previous builds...

This legislation is dead for now. It would have to be reintroduced with the new session and start the process over again. Luckily the bill's sponsor is no longer in office so hopefully it does not come up.

The driving parts were obviously staged, but overall the movie did a great job showing off actual features of the Model X. It did bug me a bit that the dashboard display was always the Car Off view, and the center display had the older style menu bar.

That refers to a targeted opening year, not the store Target. Of course, this year is completely unrealistic given the lack of activity thus far.

There hasn't been ANY new Supercharger construction started in Michigan this year. All they've done is finish up sites that were started last year.

As a reservation holder, I received an email from Rivian today informing me about new legislation going through the Michigan House of Representatives. This is House Bill 6233. At first it sounded like it was just trying to close all the loopholes that Tesla used in their settlement with the...

I received the recall notice email last week. I haven't had any issues and it doesn't sound that serious, but I will certainly look to have it fixed.

Not having a heated steering wheel is a deal breaker for me. I never had one before the Model X, and now I wouldn't give it up. I suffer from cold hands and the heated wheel is the most effective way I've found to warm them up.
