    Superchargers in Hawaii (location speculation, general discussion)

    I was vacationing on the Big Island earlier this month, and was very surprised at the large number of Teslas — all models — that I saw, considering the lack of infrastructure. There was even one brave soul driving the Saddle Road from Hilo toward Kailua. 240V home charging must be huge! Had...

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    AIM-9 is short range. If you want something really useful you need to hang an AIM-120 on it.

    Illinois Tollway doesn’t recognize EL plate

    A front plate mounted transponder ended my 2019 Model 3 I-Pass woes. On the other hand, my wife's 2021 Model Y uses a windshield mounted transponder just fine. Go figure.

    Discussion: Model 3 Price reductions - Jan / April / Oct 2023 and all other pricing discussions

    It makes sense because the total cost of ownership is going to be a lot less than the Tucson over the next 4-5 years. No oil changes. No belts or hoses to break. No starter. No alternator. None of the dozen or more points of failure that will make operating the Tucson more expensive. Plus the...

    Tesla doesn't advertise on Yahoo. They're still being paid to minimize the coming tidal wave. At least they made clear which model was the best selling model for 2023 Q1.

    LRs are available from inventory but they don't last long. All the LRs in Chicagoland were snapped up shortly, but a couple more just showed up. Inventory | Tesla If you see this in time the cars will still be for sale, but probably not after today. (update — one of them gone!)

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    $60k cars are not mainstream, they are luxury vehicles. When I bought my Model 3 in 2019, I expect to pay somewhere in the $30ks, not the $45k that it ended up being. 3 and Y are popular and gaining momentum, but many people are locked out by the price.

    If it is that corner, I hope they relabel the SuC as Lombard as that corner is technically part of.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Supercharger - Oak Brook, IL

    That was really fast, because I drove by there on Sunday and there was still a bunch of construction equipment on site. I tested voice command "Navigate to Oak Brook Supercharger" this morning, and it gave me a choice of the library, the bath and tennis club, and a couple other destination...

    Supercharger - Bolingbrook, IL

    I charged here today, and as I drove in I thought a pickup truck was ICEing some of the 150kW stalls. As I turned in, I saw orange cones in front of those stalls, and a guy from the truck working on something. Maybe an upgrade to the older stalls, or fixing some intermittent power problem with...

    Work continues apace at the Oak Brook SC. I dropped by this morning and talked to the guys installing the panel from ComEd and the transformers. They had no target date of availability. "We tell Tesla the work is done, they turn it on when they're ready."

    Supercharger - Oak Brook, IL

    Maybe the traffic analysis shows more southbound Teslas in this part of DuPage County than northbound, hence an easier right turn in / right turn out after charging.

    Okay, the name of the strip mall is The Oaks of Oak Brook. There is a Panera for food, drink, bathroom, and wifi. The lat/long is 41.854716667 / -87.9583277778. I didn't see any transformer. The layout is two rows of four back-to-back. Here are some photos.

    I just saw the pedestals today with orange construction fence around them. The site is in the little strip mall on 16th Street on the west side of Route 83 across from the Oak Brook Mall. I'll get some pictures tomorrow morning.

    I fixed this by navigating to Home while parked in my garage. I think the car forgot where home was after the update. Walk away lock works normally now.

    Car Locks at Home

    This started happening to my 2019 Model 3 after I updated to 2021.32.10. Like you I've gone through all the steps of changing the settings, but the UI seems to be ignoring the checkbox. Now I have to turn walkaway lock off when I get home, and back on when I go for a ride somewhere.

    2021.32.x

    2019 3 SR+ — 2021.32.10 broke the walkaway lock exception for home. Car automatically locks even at home. :(
