The transferable part, I fully agree with and would probably add to brand loyalty if being able to transfer a feature you never got to use but paid for to another purchase with hopes that it may become usable at some point. Seems like more buyers would be enticed to pay for FSD if it was fully...

Unfortunately, you are right. I think some locations with this many superchargers in locations outside Nevada have some spots with this 30-minute general parking but others with charging only signage. That would be helpful if a location is determined to be a frequently used charging location...

Wish I was.

Not sure what anyone could do in 30 minutes at this location unless they were just picking up or dropping off someone/something. Maybe running across the street to place a quick sports bet but that's about it. If they enforce the 30 minutes it won't be too appealing to ICE this location unless...

My phone asked me if I wanted to share an SMS in my car. After that, it was able to display and read the text I get but it won't let me respond. Even when it hears me it only types it out a small percentage of the time and has only sent the message once. In other words, your only missing more...

I'm envious

Same here

Mine won't even play the song I request anymore even though it prints it on the screen then another song just starts.

Yep...Voice is now completely useless in my car. Lost what used to work.

I want to try it after I run my battery down low enough to get a real feel for the 250w potential. This time of year, I normally charge when I hit below the 50% level so letting it get down to 8-10% would mean I'd have to run it down by driving it with that as my sole purpose or give up my...

From posts I've read about the v3 charger in Las Vegas, they don't have a parking fee unless you're parked there for a certain time and most are charged to a satisfactory level before the parking fees become applicable. It seems right that with the higher charge rate at a v3 supercharger, your...

I wouldn't mind if they gated the lot entry with a passcode like they have at the Las Vegas v3 lot. Seems like it would keep non-Tesla vehicles out and it is easy to get the code to enter the lot on the navigation screen as I've seen demoed in videos but haven't tried myself.

I got the update to 40.2.1 the same night I posted above. The best thing I like about it is the lane changes on AP are so much smoother and quicker. The stop sign and stop light recognition must work on HW 2.5 cars as I saw a video from Frugal Tesla Guy testing on his Model 3 with HW 2.5 but I...

That would be great if they do!

I thought v3 superchargers aren't paired. Seems like those that have visited the v3 superchargers in Las Vegas have reported them not being numbered whereas v2 superchargers are usually marked with a number and letter so users will know which stalls are being shared. I hope they are v3 and I...

I'm wondering the same about the stop sign recognition. I'm on HW 2.5 with FSD on the books but no idea when my car will be upgraded to the new HW 3 so not sure how much the division between the two HWs will be before the roll-out increases. Anyone with HW 2.5 get the OTA 40.X and will report...

Living here, I may never use this supercharger but I'm sure happy to see it going in. The surge in Teslas in this town has exploded as rightly it should since 7-10k jobs or more are directly and indirectly thanks to Tesla and that doesn't include all the additional revenue brought in from the...

Must have just missed you there. We were eating at the buffet that they provide free for veterans on Veterans Day and we plugged in the Tesla destination charger while eating. Added 47 miles and full stomach all for free. That is the same view we had walking back to our car.

I believe there is one included in the Tesla tutorial videos that are included in the car and online besides the numerous ones from several YouTubers.

I find that urban chargers seem to work great for the very reasons you state. With the games, YouTube, Netflix, etc., the car is usually ready before I am anyway. Not sharing and knowing what to expect if there's an open spot is a big plus when driving in highly populated Tesla locations. I'm...

I have no idea how many preorders they have but I hope it's more than they can make for quite some time as I only want Tesla to succeed in the biggest way possible. I'd always dreamed of owning a Tesla ever since the original Roadster but never thought I'd be able to get one. When Elon...

Since I live locally and mostly charge at home I can't speak from experience on this charger but I was hoping when Tesla opened the service center here that they would include some additional superchargers. Several casinos have L2 charging that I will use occasionally when going there but if...

This reduced charge rate and 8-9 not working makes me wonder if the utility/power customer (casino) is responsible. Maybe the construction going on so close that power is coming from a temporary source/transformer that can't handle the full load demand. Just guessing as it seems weird that one...

If it only has 1" more ground clearance with less range than our Model 3, we'll probably wait to see the specs and price of the Tesla pickup before making a decision. Our 3 car 600 sqft garage currently has a '12 Leaf, '16 Rogue, and '18 Model 3 along with the normal other garage stuff like a...

I need the exterior dimensions before placing an order since I refuse to park outside of my garage at home and have more than one vehicle sharing that space. My wife told me yesterday that the Model Y would probably be the only vehicle she would agree to trade off our Awd Rogue for. This is...

With the Model Y current spec range being 300 miles LR Rwd and 280 mile LR Awd. I'm keeping our Model 3 LR Rwd as the other benefits of trading it, for now, don't outweigh the range loss for us personally. If a change in battery chemistry or type allows an equal range or better, we would...

We do take our dog with us on our annual trip across the country that takes 5 days driving 6k+ miles there and back. We stay in Red Roof Inns that are very pet-friendly and when we stop I walk the dog while my wife does her thing then I do mine. We eat fast food not requiring sitting inside...

I noticed that irony and thought how Tesla could spin it as helping people to avoid heart attacks by allowing those lifesaving naps./s

Much easier to leave pets at home or take them out of the car. Our dog loves to go for a ride but I never leave him in the car for any reason. I've actually had a dog decide to chew my dash off one time in the winter/fall with the windows halfway down so the temp was perfect for him. There...

What was your state of charge when you began charging? I understand that the higher level can't be reached unless you begin with a very low charge like 2-5% and the battery at the right temperature to accept the high rate of charge.

Been using Enhanced AP for over a year every chance I get. Yes it still requires paying attention and yes it does do some things differently than I would prefer. It has required me to take over more times than I can keep track of. The fact that I was able to take over because I was paying...

You know if the blinker is on and you press it the same direction you did to put it on, it will cancel, right? I found this tip from the Like Tesla YouTube channel and have used it many times since.

Lone Pine isn't too far away.

They probably didn't care about the damage to their own car because it was probably stolen so they will probably get away with the whole thing unless caught before ditching the car...which is unlikely.

Beah Buggy 2 appears to load quicker on HW3 cars from the videos I've seen on line...;-)

I was surprised to see this when traveling once. I could understand if they started pumping fuel and had to rush in for a restroom need but to just park at the gas pump and not even be fueling was quite unexpected when I was waiting to fuel while driving our ICE SUV before buying our Model 3...

I bought EAP when I purchased my car over a year ago this month and paid $5k for it. It has vastly improved just in that time frame. I had always intended to buy FSD after benefiting from the tax credit and when it went on sale for an additional $2k instead of the $4k I had expected to pay, I...

Supercharge.info is reporting it as 18 stalls so one extreme to the other. 14 is the correct number as shown by the pictures as you point out.

Looks like Target stores are ahead of many others when it comes to supporting EV charging. Saw a few when last in CA and hope that the trend continues. Would be nice to see the Target in Sparks, NV add some as it would be close to the freeway and along I80 so very nice location when travelling...

It is a sad statement about how some people are just pigs no matter what they drive.

I've checked the supercharger here on the in-car app since reading your post and it normally shows 1-2 out of the 6 in use during the weekday midday hours. I've also charged in Hawthorne, NV a couple of times and was the only one there both times. The store at the chargers has restrooms and...

I live in Reno but have never used the superchargers here as charging at home is my normal place so can't really report on how busy they get or when. They are located at the Atlantis Casino and I believe they are valet parking but not sure. Sorry I'm not more help.

Was by there earlier today. Looks like they're getting close.

This is why many of us AP users report after a trip that the car did 90% of the driving. It's that 10% that hypervigilance made us decide to take over or not engage it to begin with. Compared to when I got my car last June, it's vastly improved. This is a growing tech and it learns over time...

Great article and well thought out. When we drove our Model 3 down there from Reno this past January, one of the charging spots that we used was the exact parking spot you pictured in Carlsbad. We also charged in Lake Elsinore so reading your experience brought back memories of our trip that...

They've been saying the same crap for the last 15 years and Tesla just keeps growing and getting bigger and better. My Model 3 is the best vehicle I've ever owned and it's the only one that has gotten better and will keep getting better over time. Name another that can do that at any price and...

I agree and it's why I am not crying to loudly about the $1k price drop 2 hours after I jumped on the FSD option the day they dropped it from $5k after purchase down to $3k and then a few hours later the same day it went to $2k. I contacted Tesla after reading they were refunding that $1k for...

I actually avoided that location while visiting that area even though I had read about it being free for Model 3 owners also. The nightmare stories about long wait times or having to charge at 2am just to avoid the lines didn't make saving a few $ seem worth the effort. I charged in Carlsbad...

Yes but it depends on several factors. Many S/X vehicles are grandfathered in. Some Model P3D owners got in at the right time to avoid ever paying for it. Some owners used a referral code and depending on what they were buying either got a lifetime or a limited time supercharging. Now some...

I'm under the impression that the car has to have a OTA in order to accept the higher charge rate (250) due to the battery prep heating/cooling) on the drive to use it. That may or may not be true for the bump up from 120 to 145 but the supercharger itself would have to have the capability to...
