    Anyone wondering about the "Coming Soon" Supercharger Stations in Florida?

    eh - per google is is an office building and town homes across from city hall. Closer to dixie hwy than 95. not exactly where I would have put it. There is a big publix shopping center right off 95 that would have been much better. from my selfish point of view 5 t

    CPO Experience Advice

    There is a mythical 70 point check list. It might be "Do we have their money yet" 70 times. My nose cone had a crack, and yes I could see it in the pictures, and yes, they told me they would be glad to fix it for $800. The windshield had a chip, and they replaced that on a due bill no problem...

    It looks like there is a bit of a crinkle in the fender rim. Since it's in the picture, they won't cover it. (IMHO) - However, if it is more than cosmetic, i.e, a dent or damage, that makes it questionable. In any case, flying out to pick up the car is a risk. Unfortunately, they put you in a...

    Charging to 100% b/c you're staying longer at public charging

    I believe it is half full. So at a super charger with two stalls, if you are there and one empty, it is half full. In any case, unless you are doing a big trip after you unplug, I wouldn't charge to 100% at all, free or not. Supercharger Idle Fee The Tesla app allows owners to remotely monitor...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    I upgraded to 28.3.1 this morning and charged tonight, zero difference in charging and range. However, the earlier update did give me a bit more range. Charge rate is lower all across the SOC range. I am still below the range I was consistently hitting a few months ago

    Battery cooling after supercharging longer?

    i noticed the higher energy use as well, the average for the first few miles was over 500, with a peak at 1100. My average speed was about 15 mph. And yes the fan\pump was going on high for a few minutes of that. I thought for a second i should sit at the charger for a bit to stabilize, but...

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    Well - for what its worth, my range went up a bit after updating to 2019.28.2 320fba0. It is a single point. My first SC after updating. The chart doesn't reflect it as Teslafi doesn't record all my charges, but on getting my car, charging and range were very solid, repeatable numbers. Then SW...

    Want to buy a used Tesla with fusc how do I know...

    cars built in 2016 and before should have it, with exception of certain S60's (where it was an option) and cars with salvage titles. Consider the actual value to you compared to buying a used car from Tesla or a new M3. Warranty is worth more than free super charging. It is a nice perk, but what...

    Can the car connect to a WiFi extender?

    I have a NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender AC750 (EX3700) which works fine. I use teslafi to access and store my car stats so having a reliable data connection is worthwhile. Do you have the built in cell data working solidly at home ? Not having home wifi connection is not a killer issue, but nice...

    Unlimited supercharging disappearing from used/cpo cars

    I looked at a bunch of 2013 cars on ev-cpo and, yes, the option is now "pay per use" supercharging. It could be a coding issue - but if they did remove it, it may be to help relieve congestion at SC sites. Since they are selling the car, they can do things like add the AP in if it wasn't bought...

    here are my data points, i do not have any tool to look at cell voltages, but i plotted my SC charging. My range was very stable as well as my charging on several superchargers was pretty much on top of each other. Then my charging rate dropped significantly when at a low SOC. Orange is may and...

    MCU black screen and reboot

    If my car has been sitting for a few days, when I start it again, my slacker radio plays the current song and then stops. It won’t load any other song or station. Ten minutes later the MCU goes black and reboots. 2019.24.1

    Explosion across from supercharging station (Plantation FL)

    It's back open. The app said 9 out of 16 free, which was not right and did not change as people came and went. A few ICE parked to look at the damage across the street. I saw one supercharger cable was on the ground, i went to hang it up, and found the little pin to hold the cable was gone. The...

    Explosion across from supercharging station (Plantation FL)

    There were people there and there is a video of a Tesla owner who was charging at the time. Link posted in different thread by mociaf9 https://twitter.com/i/videos/1147572912859299842 However the "two totaled" seems pretty unbelievable, unless a needing a wash constitutes being totaled on a...

    Explosion across from supercharging station (Plantation FL)

    I live a few miles from here and charge there regularly. It is not even in the same strip mall. Absolutely no indication or pictures of 5 damaged tesla's, let alone two totaled. Certainly, there was damage. Yes, it is closed, as is the whole stretch of roads and stores around there. The parking...

    Be Careful parking at Logan-Got a ticket

    This is where a simple 120v outlet would be best, no need for high power charging if you are leaving your car for anything more than a few hours. If they had the charge points etc in the short term lot, that would make sense as they turn over quickly. Since the 120v might take a day to fully...

    Welcome to the board and glad you are excited about Tesla's - they really are a innovative and game changing company. With that said, sometimes game changers and innovation can be rocky. Elon has vision, which he talks about, but I would not bank on making money from a self driving taxi too...

    Volkswagen’s answer to Tesla is a Volkswagen bus????

    The big selling point is that you can leave the radio on ;) Actually, it is a pretty savvy move. RV parks have the power hook up to charge. People love the van. People will want to customize it, I don't see it as a competitor to car sales, but a new market position...

    Sales tax buying used Tesla out of state?

    I bought from Tesla and had them ship car for $2k to Florida. I had a trade in, and trade in had to be handed in to the same delivery location as car was picked up from. They did offer to ship the car NC to Las Vegas or Phoenix if it was in southern CA. So being delivered in FL meant it was much...

    Sales tax buying used Tesla out of state?

    I believe CA charges sales tax. For you to drive it, it needs to be registered. If I were you, I'd ship it. Private Party is a bit more complicated, as they probably need you there and have a CA title to transfer. When I looked at buying a Tesla from Tesla in CA, they told me I had to pay tax if...

    FUD - Businesses insider "The star of 'Aladdin' claims a defect in his Tesla Model 3"

    You can see bark on the wheel. Hard to get tree impact on a wheel that was not there. And he must have been going a tad over the speed limit. That is not a 25-35 mph crash. So high speed out of control - leaves road, into tree. Tesla's fault.

    Supercharging upgrade

    If you were charging at 120 and someone pulled in next to you and your charge rate dropped in half, you might not be best pleased. If you ramped down naturally and the car next to you could ramp up, that seems to be reasonable

    Tesla forced an update of my P85D to 2019.16.2

    The good news is, if you are Swedish, you can change the language to your native tongue. It might actually be the "battery safety" update, and as a safety update, there was not a lot of choice.
