    Tesla Hates Nevada

    Indeed puzzling as no one can cross the middle of Nevada in any direction. It’s been over 4 years and I still have to detour through Salt lake 4-6 trips a year.

    Supercharger - Ely, NV

    Here's my original thread about Nevada chargers. Over 3 years later and still no charger in Ely. I always have to detour through Salt Lake. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7911220/

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    What the hell, Tesla? It has been over 3 years since I first posted this issue. STILL there is no way drive North-South through Nevada in a Tesla. You also can't drive East-West on Hwy 50. I travel 4-6 times per year from Vegas to Twin Falls and always have to go far out of the way through Salt...

    Free Supercharging transfer opportunity

    Hard to believe they wont transfer both FSD and FUSC. I paid $96,000for X-LR in 2019 and a new X is $89,600 if they transferred FSD also. Seriously, I would buy that today if they would. What would they loose in transferring it? I wonder if my FUSC can be transferred anyway since it is listed...

    Tesla offers to transfer lifetime free supercharging to new vehicle

    Wow! I paid $96,000 for my 2019X LR and can buy a new one for $94,000 and still have my Free unlimited supercharging! They have my attention. I would jump today if they also transferred the FSD. Why would they not?? Does not cost them any more and I will not buy the the $15,000 FSD.

    2019 Model X Long Range Raven - HV battery replacement

    Likewise, they paid for everything and supplied a loaner vehicle. The refurbished battery has about 300 mile range while my old one had about 295 miles. Very satisfied overall.

    2019 Model X Long Range Raven - HV battery replacement

    Follow up: Wow, great customer service. They replaced the battery and paid for everything. It was done a week sooner than quoted. I noticed my new battery can charge above 190 kW and stays at higher current throughout the charge session. My old battery never charged that fast.

    Supercharger - Ely, NV

    It’s been 3 years…. Why can’t a Tesla cross the state of Nevada yet without huge detours? Come on, Tesla!

    2019 Model X Long Range Raven - HV battery replacement

    Yes, looks that way. My October 2019 Raven, 66,000 miles, HV Battery just failed while supercharging. They will replace it with a refurbished unit next Tuesday. I have unlimited free supercharging so I use that about 90% of the time. I asked about paying to upgrade the battery but they said...

    Collision Repair Phoenix AZ area

    My 2019 X-LR was hit in the rear. Tesla directed me to check with Third Party collision repair centers found here: Collision Support | Tesla I'm looking for referral or other info in choosing one in the Phoenix AZ area. All advice warmly welcomed. Lawrence

    The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

    2019 X-LR, I had the shudder problem. They repaired it under warranty and it has performed perfect for the last 20,000 miles.

    The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

    Tesla replaced some parts and that fixed the shudder issue in my 2019 X-LR. Perhaps its just me but I don't seem to have as fast acceleration as before the fix. It seems OK when I lower the chassis all the way. Perhaps part of the fix was to reduce power at higher settings.

    Wow RayK! Where did you find that info? Thanks a million! I'll be traveling south in January. I hope Tesla has it working by then.

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    Thanks wws, My 2019X-LR came with J1772 adapter. I used it once to test it. Since I have lifetime unlimited free supercharging, I prefer to use Tesla network. Besides, I would not want to take a chance of not being able to charge at all in case the other brand chargers are not working. There...

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    Coincidence: I'm in Las Vegas today on a road trip to Montana. Once again I must follow the interstate through Utah which is far out of the way to get to the Bitterroot Valley. If Tesla would put superchargers in Ely, life would be so much better. Why are they totally neglecting this major N-S...

    Wiki FSD Beta 10.4

    How often should I report FSD beta errors while I’m driving? I talking about pressing the small camera icon at the top right of my screen (model X). The software fails often on city streets. Should I send everything It does wrong? Thank you.
  17. RVTechNomad

    FSD beta testers, is your Safety Score gone from the app?

    That is my concern. I received the beta FSD a few days ago and so far the car drives like a maniac on AP compared to how I drive. I don’t want it revoked because of how AP is acting.

    Supercharger - Ely, NV

    Hurry! I am headed North next week!;) Thanks, I wil be watching this thread as my trips to Montana Bitterroot Valley need to go through Ely. This will save me many hours by not having to go around the entire State of Nevada just to get home.

    12 volt battery warranty issue

    October 2019 X-LR, 30,000 miles. I have an mobile appointment to replace the 12V battery. The service rep told me it is covered by my 4 year warranty.

    Voice command button not working

    I have the same issue in late model 2019 X-LR. After a software update, the voice command button does nothing; the horn activates the voice comand and the driver door exterior open bar activates the voice commend when pressed. How can this possibly be hardware issue when the problem started...

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    I did use I-15 a few months ago to go to Bitterroot Vally MT. It is quite a bit longer and I don't get to see any of the beautiful NV back roads (interstate all the way).

    Blog Public Beta for Starlink Internet Service Coming Soon

    Cable? Microwave? I wish! There is nothing. If I drive 14 miles I can connect to a Verizon tower and use my cell phone for internet.

    Blog Public Beta for Starlink Internet Service Coming Soon

    How can Starlink be reached to apply for the Beta test? I live in the mountains in a community of about 200 people. Lat 45.9131789 , Long-113.7415134 In our community we have no cellular service, no internet except for dial-up modems, no DSL, a POTS phone service that is very noisy and unusable...

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    Wow! It would cost $50 at the location you linked. They want $5 plus 0.50/kWh to charge there. I had no idea it is so expensive to use other chargers. I have free supercharging but I didn't realize how valuable it is.

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    I'll take 50kW in a New York minute because it means I can travel that route.

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    Oh, I did not think about that. Wow, it's 320 miles. If they put one in Fallon it is still 250 miles. Hwy 50 is such a great road trip compared to the interstate.

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    Great work! I think Tesla should have a form for a location in city or town and let them do the research.

    Looks great but how do you get the site owners info?

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    Perhaps you are seeing something on that page that I am not. That page form is asking for the contact name, phone number, property address and type, email and more for the person in Ely where a supercharger will be located. The only info I have is the city, State and Zip code. The form requires...

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    Thank you, Akikiki. The form on that page is asking for details about a specific location that I don't have. That won't help as I don't know anyone there to research a location. Is there a page to just recommend a city or town so Tesla can look into it?

    Tesla Hates Nevada

    OK, maybe not, but there is a BIG hole in the middle of the state preventing travel without a huge detour. I normally travel across the state of Nevada 2 times each year. From Arizona we pass through Las Vegas heading due north on Hwy 93 on our way to the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. From Las...

    The shudder problem: Current status (end of February 2020)

    My 2019 X-LR Raven had a heavy thump in the rear motor when you gently accelerate for <1 second then let off the pedal. Thump-thump. The service dept. had 3 techs get in the car while I reproduced the noise several times. When I picked up the car, they told me it was normal because I was using...

    Nervous about suspension/Axel issues and shuddering...HELP!

    Hello, I am in Yuma, AZ, the roads are very well done and marked. I purchased the X-LR new in October. Which problems are you asking about? The acceleration grinding noise in the front started on our first road trip. We started with about 2500 miles and the trip was 4500 Miles in December to...

    Nervous about suspension/Axel issues and shuddering...HELP!

    Hello Plan B, Why do you say I should delete my post? My point in replying to the OP is to help people know what could happen to them if the buy a Tesla. Some people won't take it very well as it requires much patience to deal with Tesla. As far as selling my car, I am not even considering...

    Nervous about suspension/Axel issues and shuddering...HELP!

    Yes, cancel your order unless you have extreme patience. I own a late 2019 X-LR and it has loads of problems. Here's my biggest issue: There is NO HUMAN CUSTOMER SERVICE from Tesla. Every attempt to contact them leads back to using the App to schedule an appointment. It is a 6 hour round trip...

    Model X Timeline - From Prototype to Production

    I have been waiting over 4 weeks. My delivery advisor wrote back and said, " Your order is in part of a larger challenge with Tesla in that Tesla has a lot of cars to manufacture, transport and deliver by the end of this month...." That puts the delivery time at 8-9 weeks. They still show the...

    Model X Timeline - From Prototype to Production

    I ordered on 7-30-19. Red Exterior / Cream Interior / 5 seats / FSD. No vin yet. They should take down the "2 Weeks Delivery" on the order page.
