So, we’re supercharging in Gainesville, FL & our X indicates we’re charged to the 80% parameter and suddenly an unexpected dramatic situation occurs: the dash & touchscreen start rapidly vacillating between “zero battery warning & charging complete” beeping & sending warnings about stopping...

Ditto that!

Ditto that!

Ours is long range X, we installed a NEMA 14-50 & that is plenty to charge her up to 80% over night. The electrician charged ~ $500 to run a very tidy overhead conduit from the 50amp breaker (25 ft.), to the 14-50. Otherwise the supercharger is ~ 15 miles north & another one ~ 25 miles south. I...

Thank you. We ended up going to Buford which was great because we had lunch @ Ed’s Montana Grill & I’d never had a bison burger. Lol. Then Tifton was “easy peasy” & the drive to Tallahassee was downright pleasant: great road. Finally, our last hurrah was a blue moon beam paddle in kayaks on Lake...

Yay . . . we’re here: happy birthday, hubby!

Of course, I’m so happy; the more the better; onward & upward; but, I gotta tell ya Asheville, NC needs at least one more supercharging station!

Hello, We’re hoping from this conversation that there is a Supercharger in Alpharetta because I’m thinking we would rather go there than Atlanta. IDK why I’m not getting a clear route with “PlugShare.” I’ll use the Tesla map in the car next, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Thanks...

Thank you, Shawn. I changed the navigation settings to your recommendations. And, we have the latest version update: (2020.24.6.9 9a5f3cf2c682). Ours doesn’t have a NA . . . I agree that I don’t always agree with the routes, ie: most of the time I prefer not to travel on the interstate locally...

Thanks, for your response but the routing problems I’m experiencing are for example: sending me to a suburban neighborhood for the UPS office in Gainesville; routing me circuitously through downtown Starke, FL to get to the Jacksonville Airport; going in the wrong direction for the UF Physicians...

Thanks. Shawn, Our 2019 X has an MCU2 with long range & full self-driving capability. Apologies, IDK what you mean by map data level.

Initially, I thought the navigation system would improve automatically. Evidently, that isn’t going to happen. I realize living rurally may be a challenge, but Gainesville, FL is a relatively large city & the route to the Jacksonville airport shouldn’t be that difficult. I guess I still have...

Indeed, we were informed of this a couple of weeks ago at the Jacksonville Service Center. However, I am certainly not flooring it every time I accelerate. In fact, I’m noticing a slight shudder even at a very reasonable acceleration rate. At this point we’re trying to reduce the suspension to...

Wow! That is awesome. I still have a gas pick up truck, but the cyber truck is on the horizon. We’re thinking the semi could pull a nice travel trailer.

We had an exercise in patience with Duke Energy to the tune of ~ 3 months, but it’s all good now. I have to admit it’s quite satisfying to monitor our energy use etc., between the solar panels, power walls, & the “grid.”

We’re all about Tesla too. Switched our solar system on yesterday. Is there a learning curb? You betcha. Am I envisioning driving a cyber truck? You betcha.

Indeed, I did have inflated expectations, (no pun intended). My GF with an older different model raved about their “on the spot service.” I’m thinking she was in a big city like DC. Anyway, I certainly should’ve done more homework before leaving on such a road trip. “All’s well that ends well.”...

Thanks, I’m glad you have such good access to their services. Being in Florida I’m not confident we even have the privilege of contacting their team. I understand towing is no charge for the first 50 miles. We’re not only in Florida, but we live in rural North Central Florida, and believe it or...

Oh no, we went on our road trip to Louisiana & back back before the lockdown.

Ok, that’s good information. We definitely did not want a patch on a basically new tire. IDK when we’ll be near a service center, but that tire will be addressed. Thanks.

Nikola Rocks On

Our Tesla X had a flat on I-10 in Florida. Of course, we were adequately warned on the dashboard by the drop in tire pressure, and we were able to determine how fast we were losing pressure by airing the tire up every ~ 50 miles, but we had to make a pivotal decision before taking the turn off...

Right, I noticed it was started in October, so my hopes are high for its completion in February because that would make it “sweet.” Thanks so much for replying.

Ok, that sounds way more reassuring than Slidell. I missed Baton Rouge. Probably because it wasn’t on our route. Well, thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I’m so glad I inquired!

Have you heard of Opelousas?

Greetings, We’re evidently headed into the heart of fossil fuel country in February, and it appears the closest supercharger to our destination is in Slidell, (2 hours away). Any suggestions besides not driving our Tesla and renting a car?

My husband Dana and I purchased our first Tesla in September of this year. Yesterday, we enjoyed a gathering of the Florida Tesla Enthusiasts at Laurel Oaks in Sarasota. We have almost 4000 miles on our newest member of the family. It’s an exquisite ride with a wonderful learning curve...

We had a great time meeting all the wonderful “like minded” people at our first FTE gathering. Zach & Dave were too funny. We’re looking forward to more gatherings. The next one being in Gainesville. Thanks Lawrence for all you do.
