Almost done! Just need to finish the two lamp posts, some new asphalt and painted lines.

Matching your main panel brand is a good idea in case you have to relocate some of the circuits. Your electrician can advise in your particular situation.

Nice write up. I wonder if the parts and/or fitment have changed over time. On my 2012 Model S P85, the chrome piece does not protrude as much. The antenna piece you found inside the bumper is part of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Also, as you take off the motor shield, keep in mind...

One 100A breaker in the main panel. This single circuit is shared by all 'connected' HPWCs. From here this circuit feeds either a junction box with splices going to multiple HPWCs or instead a sub-pannel with multiple 100A breakers feeding multiple HPWCs. A sub-panel is used instead of the...

I stopped by today as well. Posts for the car connectors are going in.

All cars in US manufactured after 2007 are required to have TPMS system. The early Model S had the sensors but not the digital readout on IC. The newer continental brand TPMS started in September 2014 at VIN P50900.

To display the pressure monitor, I use the spin dial on either left or right side and select "Car Status". I can see pressure reading going up as the car is moving and tires get warmer. When parked, after several minutes the pressure changes to "--". I assume while not moving, the sensors go...

The 6th super charger is in the second row all by itself. See photo earlier in this thread. There will definitely be charging for 12 cars.

Not by choice. I was getting the "Pressure Monitoring System needs Service" error. Service center rep stated that the main unit needed to be replaced. Technician removed the older type Baolong brand unit and replaced with newer Continental brand, along with 4 new tire sensors. I now get to...

I stopped by on Friday. Green transformer is now in place...

I was afraid that any automated car wash would scratch up the 21" rims. Can anyone comment If this is a problem? Also the paint on my CPO model S looks great, it was very well maintained by the previous owner, so I decided to hand wash my car going forward. No leaks here.

Concrete pad is in place with 6 Superchargers (12 cars) and gray power switch/distribution centers. I didn't see the transformer, it's supposed to be 40 feet out on a parking lot island.

My 2012 model S P85 was amazing the day I bought it. Today, it is more capable and to me, it feels even more amazing. People can't believe it's a 4 year old car. I'm thrilled to drive my 'outdated' Tesla EV and I'm planning on enjoying it for years to come.

Thanks. I'll try to check on progress once per week. By the way, that's not my X. Another tesla owner was at the restaurant when I took the pics. Mine is the old-school model S P85.

Yes, just a few feet away is a QDOBA Mexican Eats. Sheraton hotel has a Starbucks. Stop & Shop grocery store is in the adjacent parking lot.

I stopped by today. Construction is underway...

For a Tesla, the NY State inspection is a 'Safety Inspection' only, the emissions part is not done as you have no emissions. The mechanic will most likely want to take one of the wheels off to check the brake pads. Make sure to tell them to place the lift precisely under the lift pads (these...

To answer the original question, Nema 5-30 to Nema 14-50 adapter to charge tesla can be created but you do have better options as others suggested. Your 5-30 receptacle is 120v (hot, neutral and ground). I have made a TT-30 adapter which is also 120v 30A but different shape, usually found on...

I had my Tesla inspected at Mavis (used to be STP) on Rt 303 near Rt 59 overpass. The mechanic lifted the car and took the front wheel off to inspect the brakes. I asked him to be super careful with positioning the lift directly on the pads and away from the battery. I also showed him how to set...

I was in Atlantic City for the Memorial Day weekend and decided to check on the progress. 8 chargers total. Seven back-in type and one pull-in forward. Electrical is not connected yet. There is a Bonefish Grill restaurant around the corner and the grocery store has a cafe. The friendly...

This is huge for me. Trips to Atlantic city will be so much easier! Pictures anyone?

I got the 7.1 software update installed on my P85. No Spotify here. According to the firmware change log, Spotify is only for AutoPilot vehicles. Really?

+1. I got the TSportline TST 19" package preinstalled with TPMS and tires balanced ready to go. I use the 19s during winter months. These have been great and look like a smaller version of my 21" turbines. TPMS reset via console. Caution on the little screw that holds the brake disks. Both...

I have tan performance interior with 1st gen seats. I really like the neutral/natural color and the gray doesn't stand out at all. In fact it nicely complements the interior with the dark floor. Also, I happen to have carbon fiber trim and gray paint so all that that goes well...

They're coming to the East coast too! I took a delivery of my Model S only yesterday. When I was pairing my iPhone, I saw a few Model Ss and one Model X in the list. I could not see it anywhere but I was told it's a signature X getting delivered.

Model X will most likely have larger tire circumference than the S. Many SUVs come with much bigger tires than sedans. So perhaps both 20" and 22" rims may have plenty of tire sidewall. We won't know until the tire size is revealed.

Around here, the potholes are extremely bad when temperatures fluctuate and keep dipping below freezing at night. Snow melts during the day and water goes into the cracks in the road and then freezes up at night, as ice expands, it busts up all the asphalt. Summer time is not so bad unless you...

To me, the blue Model X in recent sightings looks really good. I think the larger rims give it a more aggressive look and nicer proportions. This is terrible because in New York, potholes are not kind on rims with low profile tires. Hopefully there will be enough sidewall to protect the...

Similar shape but smaller? I like both of these, styling and CUV shape in general have similarities to model X but sizewise neither of these can fit 7 passengers.

Happy Birthday, Nikola Tesla! Born on July 10, 1856, in Smiljan (now Croatia), Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, engineer and physicist. Tesla is most famously known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity system.

I passed a Toyota Venza the other day and thought it may be same size and has similarities. Rear window is different but if you slice it somewhat it may be a good comparison.

The rims have more spokes than standard S wheels.

Do you have to show up in person at an EZ-Pass service center to request a specific account type? Shadowinstallz, when you switched from port authority, did you do this by mail, website or in person? I'm in the same boat, I now have the port authority green but live in Rockland so NYS Thruway...
