this is part PSA and part rant so mods, feel free to move to another thread if you feel that is appropriate. the charger at the very end (1A I think) had someone with VERY strong perfume on their hands use it. This was exacerbated by the fact that the button to open the charge port didn't...

As Bruce mentioned, there are a lot of factors that go into your charge rate. The biggest correlation to charge rate i've seen it SOC. I have often gotten 70kW when I first plug in, but it gradually slows down after that. I've heard temperature also impacts it, but i'm still gather data see...

thanks for the heads up - if the tires are the acoustic with foam, then this is true. I was a bit reluctant to use the slime anyways cause i've heard it may require you to replace your tpms sensors as well. last time we had a flat on our prius, AAA came to look at it and gave us two options -...

I bought a slime kit (mine is an older version) in case I get a flat and don't want to wait for AAA. The kit has an air compressor in it, and I've thought about using it to inflate my tires (if they are under-inflated) while I charge. Personally haven't tried it yet, but a friend did and say...

I still see a page for the maintenance plans, but it doesn't list the prices (I think it used to). However, if I log on to my account, I still see the maintenance plans and prices. For the Model S, the 3 year plan is $1550 and the 4 year plan is $2325.

no, they would get a red one. purple ones are for those that have never had a hov sticker, so if you have a white sticker (and aren't on the pre-2017 list), then you'd get a red one. The red one is good for 3 years and is an extension for those that only got up to 2 years of use from their...

sorry man, that sucks. I had a similar experience after I bought my CPO that I got in 2018. I called that same number and had them check the VIN. They said that the car had never had HOV stickers. (the CPO actually had no stickers when I received it). Applied for HOV stickers and got white...

Thanks for the insight. I went to Dublin SC this morning to test it out. It makes sense that the battery would charge slower when it is cold. The odd thing for me is that it started at a high rate (went up to 230MPH pretty quickly), then gradually dropped. It was probably at 140MPH for most...

Mine is an 85Kw battery and I have it set to 95% (just as a safeguard in case I don't make it back to the car before it hits 90% - which is what I usually charge to). I'm going to try the Dublin SC next time to see if there is any difference (or how much difference there is).

Slow is right. At 75%, the rate has trickled down to 27kW at 91mi/hr. Hopefully it’s better for the battery

Yeah, I know - I was trying to say that I haven't been able to get 72kW on these chargers.

I do find that the charge rate (miles & kw) on these is lower compared to non-urban chargers. If I get close to 72kW, then my rate is usually in the 220-240mi/hr range. However, the two times I charged here, I was getting closer to 40-50kw at the start and around 150mi/hr. Not sure if it's to...

still waiting on my pre-printed REG1000. did get a notice for my other evs that the white and green stickers are expiring for those vehicles and cannot be used starting 2019. didn't get one for my tesla. will just fill out a new one and send it in instead of waiting.

i'm still waiting, but considering just sending in a form myself

what are cars w/o AP at all called? APZero? Mine is a 2013 :)

planning to go up to napa this weekend - how busy is this sc on saturdays and how fast is the charge rate?

quite an interesting thread. would be good to know the chargepoint stations pricing structure for the one that op is using. see some that are near that address, but can't see the specific one that op is using. did some calculations and generally seems like the cost/hr is a little over $2/hr...

According to the map, the location isn't at the outlets, it's downtown.

Okay, I installed the updated. It was 2018.26 and the release notes listed minor bugs and fixes and the new navigation (I thought we already had new nav installed a few months ago). I guess this is new new nav.

I have a 2013 S 85 running 2018.16 Just got a notification of a software update. Two questions: 1. any idea what version of software I will be installing? 2. any reason to NOT to install? Thanks in advance.

seems like the urban chargers have a lower max kW charge limit (the East PA one is like this too). Has anyone noticed a slower charge rate with these?

i don't use it frequently, but the nav has worked well for me when I have used it. much more convenient for it to show up on the MCU and the dash and it's definitely better since that last update - queues for upcoming streets and directions pretty comparable to google nav.

called special processing unit today to ask about why I got white stickers and whether i'm eligible for re-applying at the end of the year. didn't quite understand the exact reason he gave but he said get the red stickers has to do with supply. he also checked my plates and said that I should...

applied for stickers in late march and got them today - expected red stickers but got white ones. :confused:

applied 3/22 check cashed 4/26 stickers received 5/7 Mine is a 2013 CPO which didn't have HOV stickers on it when I received it. I called the DMV special processing unit (HOV stickers) to check if my VIN had ever had HOV stickers issued and they said no. I assumed I would be receiving red...

HOV stickers travel with the car not with owner. if you buy a used MS with white stickers, then the date that the original stickers were issued will determine eligibility for reapplying for red stickers in 2019. If the stickers were initially issued prior to 2017, then you won't be able to...

Thanks Ivan. I should read the thread more carefully next time :(

How often can you go on tours and how many can you take each time?

check cashed yesterday. BEAUTIFUL red stickers should be on their way. :eek:

Yeah, didn’t mean to imply that it was a software limitation that was restricting speed. MCU/browser speed up could plausibly enable faster download speeds. Yes, whatever the reason, happy to have a faster MCU.

I was on .12, waiting for .14 then .16. brought in to SC for warranty repair and asked if they could push the latest update. just picked up the car and the MCU feels a lot more responsive. in addition, it seems to have taken the lid of the LTE speed. html5test was 174 on the .12 and is now...

Rear Facing Seats FOR SALE

app is back (at least for me)

there are a number of things that you can't do with the car connection down but I was thinking, I guess it's just a "regular car" now with a key and all.

apparently I've written checks for two other things for $22 each, both of which were cashed after I sent in my HOV sticker application. what a tease.

making me jealous - would love the increase speed for the MCU. waiting.....

Looking into heatshield for the pano sunroof vs. the Tesla pano shades. Has anyone used the heatshield for pano sunroof? Curious to see how well it works. Checked with heatshield and they told me the pano ones have suction cups to help it stay. Might be a little weird to use when driving...

A couple of things based on my experience: yes, you can get the car's slacker account. send it as a request with your car's VIN and request the username and password some things that you can do with the person slacker account log in from a computer/mobile app turn on high bitrate sound (not...

My friend just installed TezLab and seems to be having more drain than normal (plus his phone battery drains faster too). Do you think TezLab polling (even when the app is not fired up) is causing extra/phantom drain? I've also seen some folks post their tezlab results and the phantom drain...

could the tezlab app be causing some of the phantom draining due to polling?

are these all weather or standard floor mats? And which floor mats are they (front, middle, trunk, etc.) Thanks!

I suspect it is possible that the maps may download first, but then need to be unpacked. Don't know if download only happens on wifi, but I can imagine that it downloaded on wifi and can unpack anywhere when the car is idle.

surprised to see 5 mi vampire drain last night (usually 2 mi), followed shortly by the thought that it _might_ be the new maps. Pleased to be greeted by the new nav beta notification when I got in the car. Hopefully 2018.14 isn't far behind.

have people been able to identify under what circumstances a software update will be pushed/notified or is it pretty much across the board? I assumed it would happen overnight when the car is connected to wifi. I'm on 2018.12 but don't have new maps or 2018.14 yet. just got my car back from...

The whole ordeal around the changed to the used/cpo tesla program has been pretty crazy. At first I was mad, especially for tooth cause it was totally a bait and switch and it's horrible that he had to go through (and is still going through that experience). Then I calmed down and read some of...

Looking for wisdom from those with experience with service centers. Brought my 3 week old CPO in to have a list of things checked out/fixed to my local Tesla Service Center on Tuesday morning. I spoke with them ahead of time to get an idea of how long it would take based on my list and they...

what size xpel or 3m do I need to install these stickers? is one preferable over the other? do I just look for it at amazon or is there recommended place to buy? Thanks!

for those that have a silver tesla (like me) and want to see what the red stickers look like on it, my friend spotted a model 3 with red hov stickers and sent me a picture. The red doesn't look horrible - kind of blends with the brakelights. Still, I'm going to have a hard time putting them on...

Yes, that is the impression that I got. And would get sent new red stickers that they'd have to put over or in place of the prior ones.

Thanks for the info Ketchups! Lucky that your car is red. I don't know if I can bear to put them on my silver one. White would be have just fine, but red aren't going to blend in at all! :(
