Okay, Tesla, let's scrub this a little.

I have the same problem. This new Charge Stats section of the app is a wonderful concept to measure usage -- the first I've seen in 9+ years of Model S ownership. But, like you, my app, inflexibly and precisely, classifies my Work charging as Other. Another wrinkle for me is that the app...

This is a huge development -- notably on the Indiana Toll Road where the Big-Oil partnership with state government has been rigid and unyielding. But there are national takeaways: 1. The pit-stop simplicity of rest-area refueling can save almost two hours on a family trip between, say...

Elon and Franz have to be elated that their original Model S design and engineering have held up so well. My guess is the Model S will get its first major upgrade (since 2012) as soon as the first wave of major all-electric competition has been launched and evaluated. Tesla must be -- or...

Can anyone confirm the status of the Grand Ave Supercharger now that the Chicago Service Center relocated to Elston Ave in November 2019? I see no indication of a shutdown at supercharge.info.

I visited the Angola, Indiana, Supercharger this morning in my Model S with 36 miles estimated range remaining. I backed into the nearest charger (sixth of six), labeled 2B and began charging. Because this charger was only logging at about 70 kW and 80 mi/hr of charging, I moved left all the...

Imminent.

An interesting wrinkle in Illinois was that since at least 2013 you could pay what's now $35 for two years of non-customizable electric plates versus a base of $101 each year for regular passenger plates -- an obvious reward for being environmentally responsible. But it was optional; and if you...

I stopped by the Chicago service center when it happened to me, and they popped it out in a few seconds. That doesn't discount the larger design issue, but at least it's an easy fix -- and an incentive to keep anything slimmer than an iPhone atop the console.

A quick update for beleaguered Ohioans who feel like they're being picked on: Now that the new Atlanta supercharger is open, Sawmill is the only Tesla Supercharger still under construction in an even more colossal rectangle -- starting at the North Pole, heading down to Palm Springs CA...

I'm hoping to charge here as I drive through Ohio this coming Saturday the 25th. And it's interesting that if you draw a line from the North Pole down to Palm Springs, all the way across to Baltimore, and then back to the North Pole, the only Tesla Supercharger currently under construction --...

On the otherwise wonderful supercharger.info website, I just clicked on the Angola IN 'discuss' button and got Mishawaka IN instead. Does anybody know who to contact to get supercharger.info to fix that link -- Angola's an early, funky, sometimes maddening Supercharger location that deserves a...

One of my biggest complaints during 4+ years in a Model S was a pivotal plot point in tonight's "Curb Your Enthusiasm". You'll have to watch it, but Larry was driving Ted Danson's new red Model S, stopped behind a police cruiser, when the light changed. Somebody in the writer's room must own...

Great news for Chicago visitors (if supercharge.info is to be believed) -- a 10-stall Supercharger is being built in the Aqua/Radisson Blu parking garage south of the Chicago River near Millennium Park. A superb location.
