You got some other replies about this, but I recently started a thread on the same thing - Backtracking with Frequent Superchargers in Route The issue seems to happen when you have a Supercharger in the Trip list, but don't need to charge at it. It seems to rarely happen if you only include the...

Ouch on 42 cents/kWh for a home electricity rate! The only time I’ve seen rates that high was in conjunction with a time-of-use rate, where it was that high during the weekday afternoon, but much cheaper overnight. TOU rates can be easily handled with charging timers. Even though I have a flat...

The only Tesla vehicles that actually read speed limit signs are all 10 years old. Anything recent uses a database, which as you found is not always accurate. It’s working as designed…

There are plans for NEVI funded stations along US-400, US-81, and I-35. While I haven’t heard that actual construction has started, these were announced a few months ago. The future sites include Emporia, Flying J, 4215 W Hwy 50 (I-35) Garden City, Love’s, 3285 E U.S. 50 (U.S. 400)...

Oh yeah, already thinking about making a trip out to Florida or California - I have relatives on both souther corners of the country. Fertile hunting grounds in both those locations! Planning another 8 years before retiring, so can't really start in on the never-ending loops around the US quite...

As many others did, I did a large roadtrip for viewing the total solar eclipse. I had a vacation request on the books at work for 6.5 years since the last total eclipse happened to make sure I had the time off from work for viewing. Some of the potential areas that I was targeting for my...

@giorgian00, Various max speeds are in play when using autopilot, depending upon the road in question. On my vehicle (2018 Model 3 with Enhanced Autopilot feature and equipped with radar module), the various speed limits while using Autosteer are as follows: 45 mph - if the speed limit is...

How is the wire going into the ground block right above the open ground block you pointed to? It looks like there is a piece of reflective metal (maybe it's reflective plastic) and then at least a single similar connector on the other side of that support bracket.

I am not a tax lawyer, but that is my interpretation of the tax code. If you're wanting to claim the EVSE tax credit for the service upgrade, that should be done with the same installation job. Waiting to do the service upgrade until a later date would make it difficult to argue that they are...

Bummer, sorry about the travel delays. I saw huge traffic delays on Apple Maps on I-89 with everyone heading South out of totality while I was enjoying the evening with family in Waterbury. Stayed put on Monday and then drove home the next day. No traffic encountered on Tuesday/Wednesday on...

I don’t quite know what’s going on here. 2.5 hours ago when I was in Valencia, IL, it was flagged as temporarily closed. 30 minutes later, the status showed fine. Charging here now at an otherwise empty site. I’m only getting 70 kW, but that’s expected since I’m at almost 80%.

I missed that you said you were on the 3 lightning bolts screen. I skimmed the message a little too much I guess. :) That is a strange one. Only other thing I can think to check is if you have cellular connectivity - status bar on the top of the settings screen… Sorry on not having any real...

While planning my day for the supercharging.life “contest”, I would like to add the next several stations into my route. I’ve found that adding more than two stations and even sometimes when adding the 2nd station to the route where you don’t need to charge confuses the navigation software and...

I have the same version on my Model 3 - no issues seeing the Tesla Supercharger locations on the map. Touch the map to bring up the search box on the top left corner and the 4 icons on the top right corner; touch the lightning bolt to show nearby Superchargers. I believe there are also 1 and 3...

Over the last 24-48 hours, the forecasts for cloud cover in the AR, MO, IL, and IN have dramatically improved! Best of luck to everyone tomorrow! https://www.pivotalweather.com/eclipse2024/?m=nbm&p=cloudcover_labeled&r=conus

First alert: North Canton, OH

Any idea about this closure?

First alert - Vandalia, IL

You're not planning on road-tripping on the day of the actual eclipse (Monday the 8th), so I wouldn't expect any trouble with charger access during this trip. The people that will run into problems are the people that wait until the morning of the 8th to leave home and don't account for any...

No idea what the specific part number is, but these are called "lift support ball studs". Even if you can't find a Tesla-specific part, you should be able to find a generic replacement. You'll likely need to get a wrench on the back side of that piece of sheet metal to replace them.

There is no chance that this site will be available in 3 weeks for travel to/from the total solar eclipse. With a 10-day approval window for the building permit, that’s 1 week down already just to get the plans approved. I’m thinking more like your (late) summer travel plans can include this site.

Maybe I've already asked this or otherwise missed a previous discussion, but now that the network is open to Ford and soon to be other vehicle manufacturers, is this a Tesla-only game, or will charging a non-Tesla vehicle count as a valid check-in at a Tesla Supercharger for the game? In other...

When you are checking on the web site, are you on a "real" computer, or are you accessing the "mobile" version of the web site from your phone or tablet? Many web sites have a mobile interface that is a stripped down version of the full blown software from Windows/macOS/Linux. It sounds like...

If your firewall isn’t logging the blocked connections and the vendor (Tesla) isn’t able to tell you what’s required, it’s time to break out a packet capture tool like Wireshark (tcpdump) to capture the relevant details. The problem with that is getting the relevant traffic to the device running...

Note that the $100 is not a deposit and doesn't go towards the purchase of the vehicle at all. It's a "membership" in the club of the first people that will be allowed to order the new vehicle at some point in the future. The fee is refundable up until they send you the invite to submit your...

The original stock OEM tires on my 2018 Model 3 LR RWD lasted 52,900 miles. The replacement Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires have just shy of 50,000 miles on them and are going to need to be replaced in a few months. In my experience, the tires on an EV are able to last for a normal...

Not a Tesla vehicle, but a Tesla Supercharger in the background of a shot in S1E4 of Tracker on CBS - supposedly in Missoula, MT.

When the mobile service folks have to drive a long distance, they will usually batch up several service tickets into a single trip to a specific area. They did that for us in Wichita for the first several years of my ownership. Late last year, they finally had enough owners here to justify a...

My records show I got that feature on 2023-06-19 when upgrading from version 2023.12.9.1 to 2023.20.4.1. Resetting the Tire Service Mileage is supposed to be done each time you rotate or replace tires. From the manual: This allows your vehicle to reset the learned tire settings and improve your...

This is a common scam attack vector that I've heard talked about several times. Based off the thread title, I knew what you encountered and was happy to see that you didn't get suckered in by this scam. I'm surprised the scam report you found was for only $27. I thought most of the time, they...

Interesting on the BMW check-in - AFAIK, the RAN (Rivian Adventure Network) is currently for Rivian vehicles only. One of the images you posted mentions that. I’m guessing the BMW check-in is for someone that has multiple vehicles or hasn’t properly updated heir profile. Rivian is supposedly...

The supported process to screencast from a phone to a vehicle screen is Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Tesla supports neither solution. There are hacks that relay video through the web browser from a phone, but these really are just hacks. Some of these use external hardware like the Raspberry...

2 Volts from the 12 Volt battery - Since you got a voltage reading, you were reading the voltage of the 12 Volt battery. The battery is discharged and very likely needs replacing. While you can possibly charge the battery up, with the battery getting discharged that low, it's on its last leg...

TheMoneyGuyShow guidance for a vehicle purchase is “20/3/8” 20% down - avoid being immediately upside down on the loan 3 year loan term - none of this 96 month loan garbage Monthly payment of at most 8% of your gross pay - also less than your monthly retirement savings Cash purchase for luxury...

Tesla currently enables billing on accounts with 6 or more Wall Connectors. It sounds like the apartment complex only had a single charging station, which means they wouldn't be eligible for billing. https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/wall-connector https://www.tesla.com/charging-partners...

Yeah, not a global issue. the phone as a key feature is working fine on my iPhone with iOS 17.1.2. Besides the other suggestions, you might also want to force-quit the Tesla app on your iPhone and restart the app.

Bummer! (would have just given a thumbs-down, but that's a pretty ambiguous tag...)

That sounds like they’ve got a nice system to help the batteries operate nicely in the cold weather. The Taiga should satisfy many people’s needs and should work out well. Now, to wait for a few years and see the ongoing reliability of the snowmobile.

I’ve got the backup camera added on my tray. The second icon below…

One of the first replies to a Google query for “Tesla app tray” was https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/models/en_us/GUID-518C51C1-E9AC-4A68-AE12-07F4FF8C881E.html#CONCEPT_BB5_H5W_FSB

It looks like the tire in the 2nd picture has a date code of 3222 - 32nd week of 2022 or mid-August 2022. Not brand new from the factory, but not crazy old either.

The Lucid Air is probably a good indicator for how pricing on the various trim levels on the Gravity will interact with range. Air Pure - $78,900 - 406 miles Air Touring - $96,500 - 406 miles Air Grand Touring - $140,500 - 516 miles If I was a betting man, there will be a Gravity Pure trim...

There was another thread a few years ago here... https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/taiga-electric-snowmobile-launch.187201/

This would be a great option if it’s sold for $50k. With pricing on ICE pickups, I don’t see that as likely. I expect another one of these $75-100k beasts. If so, I don’t understand the point. I’d rather just have an R1T with a max pack for decent range while towing. I keep waiting for an...

The Honda in your picture is posted in a stall posted as "60 minutes parking", and is available for any vehicle, not just a Tesla or someone else that can eventually use this stall through upcoming compatibility. Until EVs reach a higher critical mass (let's say 50% of all vehicles on the...

https://electrek.co/2023/10/24/tesla-planning-controversial-congestion-fee-supercharger/ This is the news/rumor that they are likely thinking about. Nothing like this has been implemented, so anything stated definitively regarding this policy is simply someone making a guess and stating it as a...

Any electrician should be able to check this for you. The process I would expect is to: verify the terminals on the circuit breaker are properly torqued, start a charging session and use a clamp ammeter to verify the vehicle is charging at 40 Amps. If the terminals were loose and needed...

First, read the Owner’s Manual. There is LOTS of good information in there. I read the manual cover to cover before I took delivery, because I knew there were differences between Tesla vehicles and other manufacturers. I have mine set to save the last 10 minutes of dashcam video if I ever honk...

Are you just used to seeing A/B on the charging pedestals? Those are for v1 and v2 Supercharger sites (150 kW and lower) which have two charging pedestals per cabinet. The newer v3 Supercharger sites support 250 kW per vehicle and have a different architecture (4 pedestals per cabinet), so they...
