As far as I know, Tesla announcing something has never been a requirement for placing a pin on supercharge.info. Many a supercharger has gone clear to open without Tesla announcing anything. Maybe the permit pin does have to wait till the permit is actually approved but I didn't think that was...

I don't understand what is going on with this. Yes this location was part of the Tesla leak but Marco did come up with a permit that has been submitted for this location. Why shouldn't it be given a permit pin?

The backside parking spots are rarely needed for ICE parking. They had to protect the pedestals as mentioned above so Tesla provided the curbs to do that. It is not uncommon to see people charging off the back side.

Not much of a photo but shows some work being done with a google street view for reference. Will try to get more detail.

I have verbal confirmation of digging from my daughter who lives in Hines. Am trying to get a picture from her and will post here when I do.

Was there last week Thursday and saw no work being done yet.

I just wish they would put the supercharger in Adin along 299. The only way for me to get my 2015 S up to Burns to visit is to go the long way around through Bend. The supercharger in Burns is a start tho.

I've got a daughter living in Burns. I've asked her to keep an eye on it for me. Will let you all know if anything starts to happen. I will be going up there the end of August or first of September in any case and will check also.

Same here.

My 2015 MS will slow down for at least some curves. I have a couple of 20 mph curves near my house on a rural road that it anticipates and slows down for. I wont say that it does a smooth job of navigating the corner, however.

I charge my 2015 Model S to 90% every night and haven't seen significant degradation of the battery. It currently has about 46K miles on it and still charges to about 259 with a full charge which is only 6 miles of degradation. I bought it with 32 K so no idea how it was treated before I...

It appears like most of the points have been covered pretty well here. One point that has only been briefly mentioned that I think you should research (or perhaps someone else already has) is this. If you charge every day to 100% and assuming a 3 year lease you could quite likely have less...

I would need to see it with the wires pulled out of the box to say for sure but it appears to be 120. I see the white neutral wires tied together and what appears to be just one other wirenut with all of the 120 volt wires tied together. If there are more connections inside the box that aren’t...

Just tried them. The cabinets are powered but the chargers aren’t. The Tesla light isn’t lit and they don’t work.

Hopefully Tesla is thinking about the Corning holiday traffic jam and will have this one up for you.

Charging stands and cabinets are installed and the utility transformer is powered up. Looks like it’s just waiting to be commissioned. They only installed two of the three cabinets and eight of the twelve chargers. Looks like the rest are reserved for a future expansion.

Doesn’t EVgo have a 45 minute charging limit? Is this what your talking about?

Get the Stats app. It allows you to set charging reminders. If the charge state is below your set limit at your set time it sends you a reminder to charge

My car (2015 MS) doesn't do this. I charge to 90% every night and have full regen the first mile.

I am on NEM 1 and grandfathered to November 2020 I believe. I am wondering if I expand my solar system by November which will force me to NEM 2 will I get an extension on my grandfathering for 5 years. Per this Explore EV Fundamentals

Check out the Williams CA site. I believe it is an in construction V3. Supercharger - Williams CA (under construction Aug 2019)

There is a difference between production issues and technical issues. The one is just a matter of scale if the numbers work. The other requires solving of problems that may be insurmountable.

True. A small needle nose pliers might be able to reach in and repair that but I'm not sure.

Tesla doesn't provide any information about their chargers until they are open. You can go here for information on new superchargers in the permit and construction process. supercharge.info I don't see that Pensacola currently has one in permit process so I wouldn't expect to see one in the next...

This would be an easy solution to your problem.

If you pull the fuses you can test the fuse block with a multimeter and figure out which side of the fuse is the powered side and which side is the load side. They could have fuses on those wires closer to the dashcam which would fuse everything from that point on but would still leave the...

I can't see the back side of the fuse. Did you actually pull the fuse out and look at the connection? I suspect the spade part of those connectors is bent down at a 90 degree angle and pushed into fuse holder beside the fuse. I have never seen it done this way before and don't think its a...

I don't think its a bad area. The superchargers are just around the corner and they are putting up more lighting around them. Williams is a small farming town and I don't think they have a big crime problem. I didn't feel unsafe when I took the pictures and it was already pretty dark. I do...

I leave my key fob in the car in my garage without a significant vampire drain problem. It may be higher than some but not anything like the OP.

I also took some photos of the EV-GO station that is just around the corner. Only about 100 feet away.

I was by there this evening. The construction fence is gone and all the paving striping and signage is done. No equipment on site yet but the conduit is run to the power pole, no wires in it yet. 12 chargers, some have signs allowing 30 minute general parking and some don’t.

When we first got our S I had the creep off but I couldn't get used to parking on a bit of an incline. If your parking space is a bit uphill with a curb/bush/wall in front of it you have to apply the accelerator to go up the incline and then stab the brake at exactly the right moment to stop...

When I was there last weekend I counted 12 pads either installed or waiting to be installed.

I agree. Breakers can and do go bad. It sounds like the breaker slowly heats up and by the time it reaches full charge it finally trips. Breakers should trip instantaneously when you have a short circuit, but a breaker that is exposed to an amperage that is close to its tripping point can...

Probably would allow you to skip Corning on the way home tho?

Here you go.

I bought a used 2015 S85 from Tesla in May. I had no way of knowing if the $800 PG&E rebate had ever been paid on the car so I decided to apply for it. What did I have to lose? If it had been paid they would just reject my application. If not, I'll take the $800 thank you very much. Turns...

The studies that say that batteries cause more environmental harm than ICE typically use some flawed assumptions as the starting point of the study. For instance the study that said that a M3 used more CO2 then a diesel Mercedes used the assumption that the battery would only last for 93,000...

Power wall is the Tesla battery system.

My 2015 just had the MCU replaced a couple months ago and my screen did the same thing after it updated a few days ago. Rebooted and it’s been fine ever since.

They are working on it today. They told me they would be shutting off power tomorrow night at midnight to do the connection. Then it has to be inspected etc. He thought it would be going on Monday.

I was by there this morning. A couple of things. There are two Charge Point chargers with two connections each mixed in with the superchargers so this is a shared charging area. Maybe that is normal (I'm new and have only charged at a supercharger once so not sure what normal is)...

https://www.cars.com/articles/whats-the-most-crash-prone-car-1420692141385/ This article gives a little perspective on the claims that Tesla owners are safer because they are driving more expensive cars etc. Turns out that claim is not necessarily true either. The most accident prone cars tend...
