    Supercharger - Knightdale, NC

    LOL, seems like a lot of interest in this location! Not sure if it's because of the popular location or because more people have Teslas now but between the picture above, and the other person I saw get out of a mini-van to take a picture and myself that makes at least 3 people checking on the...

    Supercharger - Colonial Heights, VA - Conduit Road

    Nice find, and thanks for the pics! Assuming the local power company is efficient it seems like they should easily meet their Q4 2023 goal.

    Potential Supercharger-Wilkesboro, NC

    I always keep my eye out for construction for a potential SuC location in Wilksboro, NC since it seem like a prime location between Winston-Salem and Boone. I saw the Sheetz going in and was thinking that it might be a potential spot as well so thanks for making the post for us to discuss. It...

    How Aggressive Should Tesla Be with Variable Pricing to Manage Supercharger Congestion? (i.e. Should Tesla jack rates at chronically congested SCers?)

    If there are 2 locations close enough (10-15 minutes) to each other then I do think there should be a tiny incentive to use the underutilized location. 25% seems about right for someone to ponder why this station is 56cents for 45center down the roads but not enough to think they are being price...

    Supercharger - Boone, NC

    Every time I see someone parked in one of the pull-in spots I try to "randomly" cross paths with the person and say something like. "Oh, by the way those spots you pull-in are for people with bike racks and stuff on the back, next time try not to use that kind if the normal ones are open". I...

    Do MLY come with matrix headlights?

    This information is not correct. I have a "2023" Fremont Model Y LR (11/'22 build) and it does not have matrix headlights.

    Early production 2022 MY LR without Ryzen / Li-Ion - deal breaker?

    Personally the Li-Ion batter isn't a big deal, but the AMD Ryzen is a meaningful upgrade so it would be a deal breaker for me. Each person's budget is different but since the infotainment screen is the heart of the car I would value the difference be worth about $5k. Other things to keep an eye...

    Supercharger - Knightdale, NC

    I stopped by on Saturday to snag some more pics and be nosy since I assumed there wouldn't be any workers there. The crew is wasting no time to get things installed. Check out the printed and shipped date on the purchase order tag and it looks like most of the conduit is already in place. Even...

    FSD discussion

    See my post #419,376 on June 30th where I first reported that build 2023.20.7 was the first build to have FSD beta merged into the main branch so that all cars are on the same build (even AP1 cars). Then my post #419,417 that has the different FSD beta builds between 11.4.4 and 11.3.6

    Whoa, that was quick and it looks like they mean business! ⚡The 3 Supercharger cabinets are already on site!!! I had been following the progress of the permit and didn't expect anything more than some spray paint on the ground but I guess the site isn't updated as fast as the construction crews...

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

    What is also interesting is that one YouTube analyst "Meet Kevin" just said yesterday morning that the recent trend of pre-market being red but then closing green is similar to Oct 2021. Things might be looking bullish but who really knows what is going to happen now. 🤞

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

    No, they are the urban 72 kW Super chargers. More info on them here and here. The v4 Superchargers are much bigger and taller and say "TESLA" on them rather than just the red logo. Also, the handle/connector latches onto the middle of the pedestal when not in use on a v4 (because it is bigger)...

    If anyone needed to be more bullish on FSD... with the change of the referral program they removed the ability to outright purchase FSD. You could previously purchase FSD for like 150,000 credits and now you can only buy 3 months worth for 10,000 credits.

    Both builds have it. Check out TeslaFi.com Firmware Tracker 2023.7.20 is FSD 11.4.4 2023.20.7 is an older FSD 11.3.6 (even though the build number is newer, it has an older build of FSD) I'm not trying say that my AP1 has the FSB beta (it wont ever get it, I know this), I am just saying that...

    Something interesting just happened. My 2016 AP1 S 90D is now updating to 2023.20.7 normally not a big deal but this is the same build number that FSD beta 11.3.6 is built on. This is the first time that I know of that a non-FSD capable car has received the same build as a FSD beta car. My...

    Clarity around CAC imbalances, voltage imbalances, bad bricks, and battery warranty - 2015 90D

    See post #4 and #12. Stress and heat, pretty much doing the opposite of what's good for a battery. 😇 It was in the app but cutoff on that screenshot. I tried to get it again just now but that field wouldn't populate. Like you said the beta app is a little buggy 😂

    Clarity around CAC imbalances, voltage imbalances, bad bricks, and battery warranty - 2015 90D

    62.6 kWh Nominal full pack is REALLY bad and probably going to fail soon. I would suggest "helping it" if you are still under warranty. For reference my 90 pack is 76.9 kWh with 83k miles. @seenhear @hybridbear You need to go into the Google store settings and sign up for the "Join Beta" for...

    12V battery source

    Tesla directly is 100% the best route to go. I think for a Model S battery and install is only about $150. Also make sure that you have the correct battery setup in the 2023.20.4.1 service menu: 2023.20.4.1 Service menu: low voltage battery option added

    FSD v12.x (end to end AI)

    I wonder if there is any relation of v12 beta FSD and v12 version of the Tesla car OS. v11 Car OS was released Christmas holiday time in 2021: Introducing Software V11.0 | Tesla but FSD beta was only on the 10.X build around that time.

    Bait and Switch?

    1. Tesla doesn't set the rates since they don't lend out the money themselves. They work with lending partners (Well Fargo, etc) to setup your loan. 2. Rates have been going up month over month the past year as the Fed has raises their rates to fight inflation. Yet gain, Tesla has no control...

    Near annual replacement of 12V battery is typical according to Tesla Service Tech

    temp nema 5-15 extension cord 25 ft safe?

    No, Tesla does not recommend using an extension cord, ever. With that said.. if a person were do use a 25ft extension cord for an application of extended use with a high load on it, then a 12 gauge extension cord would be what is suggested. The lower the gauge wire, the bigger the wire size...
