Hmm, interesting. Somehow mine failed in a way that was causing the 12v to drain. Guess it's a different failure mode. Still sucks...

Welp, just happened to me on a 2019 3 with around 50,000 miles. Got a notification on my phone that the 12v needed replacing, and when I went out to my car, it was completely dead. Had it towed to an SC, and after a bunch of troubleshooting, it turns out it was the PCS causing the 12v battery...

Yeah, I grew up in Chesterfield. It's about as safe as you can possibly get. So safe that the Chesterfield PD has nothing better to do than run speed traps, so be careful.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Chesterfield, but I've only had a few experiences. And yes, it was once a car museum, specializing in classic Mercedes. I went to a wedding there many years ago, the cars were the best part about it.

So a couple possibilities I wanted to toss out there: A couple months ago, I posted this about a utility locate request for Tesla. But the location is absolutely awful. I’ve been meaning to drive out there and see if anything’s going on, but haven’t had a chance. But, like I said, terrible...

Agreed, very strange location. I don't think it should be added to the map until we have more confirmation that it is an SC. I might head over there this weekend and see if there's anything going on.

I was checking out the Missouri utility marking ticket search, and found a recent ticket for Tesla charging station at 4051 BINGHAM AVE in the Bevo/Dutchtown area. The ticket was submitted by the same company that did the Brentwood SC earlier in the year. Seems like a very odd location, it’s...

I was in the area and decided to stop by for grins and charge for a few minutes even though I didn’t need a charge, and live 10 minutes away with 240v charging at home. Took me nearly 10 minutes to get from in front of Dierbergs on Eager Road to the charger. They really did pick the worst...

Utility locate request was submitted with a construction start date of today

Most MO Superchargers are around 25 cents. I did a road trip from STL to Vegas and they got more expensive the further west I went, IIRC Vegas was also 31 cents.

According to a post on the STL Tesla FB group, despite some fencing being blocked off, the chargers are live.

That was fast! How did this one manage to fly under the radar for so long? I'll be driving home to STL from Colorado next week. My overnight stop is Salina where I believe my hotel has an EV charger, so assume I leave there with 90. I won't have enough to make it to Concordia at least not...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I didn't edit anything ;) The trip was a piece of cake, I charged to 90% at ABQ and arrived at Gallup with 29% doing around 80 MPH the entire way.

Oh yeah, that’s been my big annoyance with the nav, it’s focusing on fewer, longer stops, whereas ABRP’s focus is on more frequent, shorter stops, which actually may be quicker since you’re charging from like 20-50 each time. I’ve been navigating SC to SC rather than letting it plan routes from...

After playing around some more, I think I must've had some settings incorrect in ABRP that was causing it to overestimate consumption, I reset it and now it's presenting a more reasonable route that doesn't involve charging to 100% at ABQ. I will follow what the in-car nav tells me to do, it...

I’m currently in Santa Fe and headed to Flagstaff next in my M3 LR AWD. I was planning out the route in ABRP and it has me charging to 100% at the ABQ SC to arrive in Gallup with 19%, is that accurate? It’s only 145 miles between chargers, and while I understand there’s an elevation change of a...

These photos are from the STL Tesla Facebook group, lots of good progress, I have a feeling this one's going to be done sooner rather than later. I wonder how this one flew under the radar for so long, surely the permit stage had to take months.

If the in-car nav tells people to take Brentwood Blvd to Rose Ave then it's not so bad. If it routes people down Eager Road through the Target parking lot, forget about it.

Photos from the STL Tesla FB group show this under construction! @Chuq @MarcoRP

Any theories on what all of the shipping containers previously at the site are for? I've noticed Mobile Mini branded containers in other Midwest SC construction photos, wondering if Tesla's been leasing this spot for awhile and using it as a staging area for SC equipment due to STL's central...

Saw some rumblings about this in the STL Tesla Facebook group, and pictures of shipping containers in this location but no confirmation they're for Tesla. However, I just did a search on the Missouri OneCall system for utility marking, and guess what I found...

My 3 is coming up on 2 years and 23,000 miles, and I'll be taking it on a road trip halfway across the US in a couple months. My concern is the 12V battery dying - it seems the car is supposed to give you plenty of warning that it needs to be replaced, but that's not always the case, and I...

Charged here today and was charged by the kwh (23 cents/kwh). All of my past Supercharges in Missouri have been by the minute (granted, my last Supercharge in Missouri was nearly a year ago). My understanding is they had to charge by the minute in states with restrictions on reselling...

Are you taking 64 out into WV then into MD? I did that drive a couple months ago. The Mt. Vernon SC is a 5 minute walk from a few gas stations and restaurants. The hotel that the SC is at was closed due to COVID back in July, it may be open now. Louisville's SC is sort of in the middle of...

I charged there last night and was getting over 100kw on the first charger I parked at. 2 or 3 others were charging as well, so everything seemed to be in working order.

What does it mean for Tesla to commission it? Is the charger available for use, and just needs Tesla to officially mark it as opened and add it to the nav? If I stopped there tomorrow, could I use it?

I hope it's turned on tomorrow. If so, I'll be there Friday! Edit: Hah, maybe not. That looks completely out of the way if I'm driving down 64, any time saved with V3 will be negated by that. It might come down to food options near by.

I'll be driving through Friday, what are the odds these are turned on by then? Also, any tips for the Mt. Vernon to Louisville stretch? This is my first Model 3 road trip, and with LR AWD it shouldn't be a problem, but the long stretch without a charger is making me a bit nervous. What speed...

My car was reporting it as closed, but I was able to charge there today. On one of the V3 chargers I got over 200kw for a few minutes on my Model 3. I went from 26% to 90% in 33 minutes. Saw a couple S and X charging at the V2 chargers. All seem to be working well so I’m not sure why the nav...

Thanks, but I'm not at all interested in used. I was under the impression that some people were getting discounts on new cars in inventory

I had ordered a car and received a VIN, with a scheduled delivery of tomorrow. I received a call today, telling me that it was still in California and definitely not arriving tomorrow. They have a similar car in inventory, except it’s red and has 19” wheels, so it’s $2,500 more. I don’t mind...

My delivery scheduled for tomorrow was delayed. Seems the car is still at Fremont. Wonderful.

I don't have my Model 3 yet, but I've been driving a 2018 Crosstrek with EyeSight for the past year and a half, and my impression is that AP is miles ahead of EyeSight's LKA. First of all, EyeSight turns off LKA below a certain speed, somewhere around 35 MPH. Does AP have a minimum speed, or...

How much did that cost if you don't mind me asking?

I don't have a delivery specialist, I ordered online and have had zero contact beyond the text to schedule my delivery appointment online. But I'll call Monday to make sure everything's on schedule and I can make the appropriate arrangements for time off work Friday.

I guess I’m just thinking that it’s over 30+ hours from the Fremont factory, so probably like 3 or 4 days with stops, especially at semi trailer speeds. Seems like it would be cutting it close. I’ll remain optimistic.

My delivery is scheduled for Friday in St. Louis, so if it’s 2-3 days from shipping I guess I should expect delivery to be pushed back? :(

Long range AWD, midnight silver, no FSD. I’m the opposite, I have a vin but no final payment option.

I just got my VIN, it’s 4081xx, can someone tell me what that means as far as build dates goes?

Ordered 7/13 (last Sunday) LR AWD Midnight Silver Metallic Aero Wheels Black Interior No FSD I received a text on Wednesday to schedule a delivery appointment - mine is scheduled for next Friday the 26th. But I have no VIN, I've had no contact with anyone from Tesla (other people say they're...
