Must be the lowest traffic of all superchargers. Not on a street-- down a driveway to the parking lot behind a restaurant.

What kind of snake? Gopher? Boa?

I've had my Model 3 outside for months now while the wife's Model S is in the garage. My last car, a 1987 Acura Integra, became a host for a gigantic rat colony while it was parked outside inactive for a couple years. Thanks to those who posted comments-- SMAIset and wws and 95 Gator-- love...

That is in our backyard. We may drive over tomorrow and charge for a few minutes to check it out. But no way that we would use it instead of our own outlets in our garage. We bought shares in the company way before the 5 to 1 split and I can't see us doing anything that would hurt our...

Time for a new circuit box? Are you running 100 amps?

What circuit box do you have? 100 amps? 200 amps? Maybe time to replace it?

Other than taking it into Service you've got to have another person drive so you can crawl around in the back and find the source of the rattle (or drive while they do that). Have a few rags with you so you can stuff them in wherever you hear noise.

Well yes and no. No because Duluth is on route into Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Not everyone knows about the UP. What a grand piece of America-- unspoiled and beautiful, or at least it was in the mid 1980s when I was last there (In Marquette at Northern Michigan University). I'd like to go...

We'll have to check that out. Is it as good as Wickenburg Arizona? That was awesome. I can't think of a way that it could have been better. Have you been to that one?

They do offer something in that direction at the design HQ, in Hawthorne California-- the big chart on the wall near the front door shows the most-used superchargers in the world--

Sorry, I have confusement. WHICH 8-stall location would you use most???

We've charged there a couple times and it's been half full. I remember talking to the family in the Model S next to us last time. That's the one in the same parking lot with the big Casino, right? For BerTX: I'm staying with my nomination of Shamrock Texas for least used. The Nevada ones have...

I took the left rear seat down and had my daughter crawl under the back support cardboard to look and feel for anything rattling. She has a white 2018 Model 3. She couldn't find anything but she did stuff a rag into the area behind the left rear seat top and no more rattle! It makes such a...

So there are 24 superchargers at Buena Park (see Find Us | Tesla But it is not THIS Buena Park... I'll see if there is another thread for the OTHER Buena Park . Vern Edit a few minutes later YES there is ANOTHER Buena Park-- see Supercharger - Buena Park, CA - Beach Boulevard (LIVE 17 Jun...

Lines at Quartzsite. My Goodness. We've been there 2 times, and of all the superchargers in the western United States, Quartzsite is by far the most pathetic. People line up to charge there? For reference, I'd say the best Tesla Supercharger Station in the Western United States is Wickenburg...
