    Supercharger - Missoula, MT

    Moderator note: The first 8 posts in this thread come from two different threads about the Missoula, MT Supercharger. To those of you travelling along I-90 this weekend: Use Butte+Superior not Missoula! I was at Missoula last night after coming from Cort D'Alene. Plugged in to 2B and went to...

    Supercharger - Ritzville, WA

    I realize asking eastern Washington to compost is a tall order, but is it to much to ask not to burn bushes with gasoline next to the supercharger? Sorry for gigantic pictures, best I can do from mobile right now.

    Supercharger - Coeur d'Alene, ID (LIVE Feb 2015, 6 V2 + 8 V3 stalls)

    That'd be great! I'd love to make sure. I'll check back next week!

    Supercharger - Coeur d'Alene, ID (LIVE Feb 2015, 6 V2 + 8 V3 stalls)

    Any news on someone testing the Coeur D'Alene connection? I'm planning on driving out Seattle to Butte, MT on 3/13 and depending on which car we choose, mine or my girlfriend's ICE, depends on this location's readiness.

    Seattle to Santa Barbara Roadtrip

    Have fun, i just got back from taking my 85 from Seattle to San Luis Obispo (just north of Santa Barbara). It's a fun drive, I'm compiling my stats for actual mileage consumption per leg now.

    Any update on the now quiet SDK rumors

    Fixed that for you. :-P I really hope it's just a case of "what Tesla is currently telling front-line employees". Seems to be Tesla's M.O., to set expectations lower, informing the Sales team of the more likely scenario (presumably for plausible deniability) and then surprising everyone. This...

    Negative attitudes towards the Model S in Seattle?

    I've actually had quite the opposite. I get a great deal of questions about it, and I've been sticking to my commitment to myself: Always answer questions when i'm asked. For 6 months now, the questions haven't slowed down and I'm still excited to answer them. I have noticed the questions...

    Supercharger - Centralia, WA

    Daytrip to Portland (from Seattle) a total success due to these being installed! On the way home, pulled in with 6 miles left, had 180 in the time it took us to eat some teriyaki. Max charge rate observed: (Also, unlike boiling water, a watched car *does* charge) Victory!

    Any update on the now quiet SDK rumors

    This. Even if it was just limited "read-only" access to features (so we don't brick our car), it would really start to open people up to the true potential of driving a computer around. Yes, they do have more important things to work on, but this *should* be pretty high on the list. For...

    Supercharger - Centralia, WA

    Anyone (super)charged at Centralia? I see lots of people posting their observed kW rates & mph of charge for Burlington but the Centralia thread is surprisingly quiet. I'll be hitting up at 8-9am tomorrow on my way to Portland from Seattle, but was hoping for some more positive reports before...

    Any update on the now quiet SDK rumors

    There were many rumors of an SDK coming out for the Tesla, but after a fairly involved search, i have been able to find no updates more than musings and rumors. Has anyone heard anything or found a source i might have overlooked?

    I'm planning on doing a Seattle->Portland->Seattle daytrip this Saturday. I really hope that the Supercharger is operational by then.

    Yeah, i'd love to see how Centralia is doing. Exciting to see Burlington start to move electrons, hopefully Centralia will too? I'm hoping to do a Portland trip this weekend and it would be so convenient!

    Supercharger - Burlington, WA

    Yea, I'd be willing to make the drive from Seattle, just for fun to meet other Tesla owners and to educate myself on the range left from a Max Charge on a Seatle->burlington->Bellingham and back daytrip. The last time I made the trip to Vancouver, i was driving modestly and watching Watts/Mi...

    Bellingham Test Drive Event July 14th

    I got an email from them too. I just puzzled at why they didn't filter their list for owners. Or send a separate email saying "tell your friends"... or "we know you wont let them drive yours, so let them drive ours!"

    Supercharger - Burlington, WA

    I stopped by yesterday, in addition to the marks visible in Andyrebele's pictures, there was a whole bunch of newish looking bright orange paint. I didn't get any pictures since it didn't add any real information, but i'm excited to see it as it progresses.

    Why is Tesla putting a supercharger in Seattle?

    There are many threads that talk about this and the possibilities on how to fix it. I'm sure that someone will come up with something, Push Notifications through the app, digital Placards with cell phone numbers when someone else needs the spot, something. It won't be a problem forever...

    Those damn Germans (And their New Li Ion Battery)

    I'm not saying that we'd get much more energy out of these, but the longevity of the batteries is much improved. And we'll never have to change the batteries again due to degradation. The power density they mentioned 1100 W/kg in the 18650 form factor, compares to the upper bound for current...

    Those damn Germans (And their New Li Ion Battery)

    This is exciting news. By the time it's mass market and in the mainstream battery market, its likely Tesla will have incorporated it (or something like it) in their batteries and when i replace my pack in 8(?) years, i'll never have to do it again...

    Supercharger - Burlington, WA

    I'm currently on a Seattle to BC day trip, surface street bypass isn't so bad, 15 min. Can we get this topic back on the supercharger? Anyone have info on availability date?

    Looking to charge in Seattle

    I own an S (fueled by solar panels!) and you can borrow my 14-50. I'm in Wallingford near gasworks. I'm on plug share or you can PM me if you'd like details.

    Recommendations for carging location on a Seattle -> VancouverBC Daytrip

    Nope. :-( Thanks for the info guys, i'm targeting the J1772 in Blaine, WA on the way North and maybe again on the way and back. Does anyone have any insights into how busy it is? I'll also probably check out the Burlington WA supercharger location, exciting!!

    Recommendations for carging location on a Seattle -> VancouverBC Daytrip

    Thinking of taking my 85kW on its first road trip to Vancouver,BC from Seattle. I'm not staying up there more than an afternoon, so i'd like an option to charge a little while up there. It's a 250 mi round trip so with conservative driving i should be able to make it, but I was wondering if...

    Unlocking the Doors from inside

    After 1+ week of playing around with my new baby, I think the easiest way for me to do it (if i'm not shifting into park and i'm leaving it in drive w/ foot on brake), is just go to CONTROLS > UNLOCK. This extends the handles.

    Night/Day Display Preference auto resetting?

    I like the Night Mode display better. Its fits in with my black dash & black interior better. The color scheme is easier to look at. And I like it regardless of Day or Night outside. HOWEVER, it ALWAYS resets to "Auto" every time I turn the car off (put the car into park). Every time I have...

    A few pictures of mine. The logo shot has been 'shopped to try and eliminate me as much as possible, so don't trust the color but it makes a good Facebook profile picture. ;-) Also, I liked the front quarter shot because it shows it in light and dark. After three days and 250 miles on my...

    Tracking Multi-red production and sequencing

    Apparently I'm the first red Tesla on the road in Seattle. Followed very shortly by 8369 who had an appt at 1:30. Including mine there were 4 reds in the delivery warehouse. :-) Pics to follow when I'm done driving. So you know.... In 250 miles or so.

    No, i think that means your phone wasn't connecting to Tesla (or the internet). The two notifications i saw were: Before: There are no cars associated with this MyTesla account. Your car may not be ready. After: Mobile App Remote Access is OFF: Turn Remote Access ON from the vehicle's...

    Nor did I. I did some research and ordered these: http://www.skenedesign.com/FPBracket/index.shtml, which look much less invasive to the nose cone. There look to be some pretty good options for where to install them and how high they sit. I'll see how long i can go without a front plate, but...

    Twin chargers physically included with all cars

    I pick up mine tomorrow with no twin chargers, so, i'll take a look to see if i have a second. I hope not since I don't want the weight if it doesn't need to be there. Thats really frustrating that your high power charger doesn't work. Also, the Performance edition has a different power...

    Totally agree, Congrats xhawk! For the record, my Delivery specialist told me today, probably about the time my car was being unloaded in Seattle that it was being loaded on a truck in Fremont CA for transit. My car must have been shipped about the time that it's mobile app went live. I...

    Exactly what I was thinking. The rear wheel well or rear passenger door is almost identical. And probably (In a store) the rear of the car is more illuminated by similar artificial light.
