    Maryland HOV Sticker Solution?

    For the DIY folks, here's a link to the solution I made for my S: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/md-hov-sticker.78174/#post-1777655 The Permit Holder site linked above is probably more polished though :D

    Supercharger - Millersville, MD

    Bit of a necrobump without a lot of juice, but I swung through the WaWa location over the weekend and there still doesn't seem to be any action. There *was* a big conex container in the back parking lot on the south side. I did not see anything that would lead me to believe that it was...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    As an update to this post, I got a chance to drive around a bit in different lighting last night and the camera being darker was quite noticeable (I'm one of those weirdos that keeps the rear camera up all the time :D ). Unfortunately, I did not think to grab "action shots" while driving my...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I'm afraid I do not have any 2020 Model S/X data. Does anyone know if the rear camera changed model numbers throughout the years or have they always used the same camera? I feel like post-refresh had a different rear camera, but with similar quality/output to the MCU. Please correct me if I'm...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Got my MCU1->MCU2 upgrade done on my 2015 AP1.0 Model S last week. Since the rear camera conversation was already underway before my appointment I decided I'd get some comparison shots so I went out at night and took a couple pictures of the rear camera display in my garage (don't judge the...

    Recommendation for alignment in MD?

    While this isn't really the kind of answer you were looking for, I just had new tires put on and balanced with a request to the shop to also perform an alignment. They said they tried to hook their system up to my car but couldn't get it to work and that only Tesla could do the alignment. While...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Do you know what the manufacture date of your buddy's AP1 car is? I was able to at least schedule an appointment with Owings Mills for an AP1.0 upgrade to MCU2 (March 2015 S85) though I haven't heard anything past the estimate of repairs. I will note that the part number I had in my estimate...

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    Adding a possible AP1.0 car upgrade part number. I decided to try my hand at getting things scheduled via the App this weekend and today they generated an estimate for my car and scheduled a tentative appointment for the end of this month. We'll see if that actually happens though as the screen...

    Supercharger - Baltimore, MD - South Caton Avenue

    I hate giving no-change updates, but here we are. There is no evidence of construction at this Wawa location and the Development Review Committee records don't shed any new light on anything.

    Moving to Maryland

    Maryland is expensive. If you're working in south DC and planning on commuting in via your Model 3 (Performance, nice) then you can trade off some of the cost of the more metro Maryland counties with a slightly further commute from Charles or St Mary's. Southern Prince George's County is...

    Cooling post charging

    Yep, my BMS cooling loop pump runs pretty much all the time now. I can hear it when I'm (otherwise silently) rolling into work searching for parking. Before the beginning of this year when my MCU1 started to die, it was likely drowned out by the music I was playing, but since I now get to drive...

    Wiki Consolidated eMMC Thread (MCU repair) (Black Center Screen)

    I assume my car is approaching this failure based on the original post with symptoms. I came back from a work trip and after not driving the car for 3ish weeks none of the streaming options nor the USB playback would load (spin, loading error, skip, spin, loading error). MCU crashes have...

    Slower Than Usual Supercharging

    Just throwing my hat into the list of folks that sees reduced charging speed. I'm of split opinion, really. If my slowed rate of charge will guarantee longevity of my pack and its remaining capacity (down from 265 to 257 then closer to 250 after the update) then I might feel ok with that being...

    Supercharger - Baltimore, MD - South Caton Avenue

    Sorry, forgot to update over the weekend. I drove by the WaWa and there is still no evidence that any construction/alterations are happening or planning to happen. I did not swing by the other address referenced in the filing. As I said upthread, this location would be terrible for a...

    Supercharger - Baltimore, MD - South Caton Avenue

    I haven't swung up that way recently, but I can go again tonight maybe. The filing above doesn't really have anything new listed and the related filings reference a plot of land slightly north of the WaWa. I figured that the Hanover urban Supercharger down the road at The Hotel at Arundel...

    Supercharger - Laurel, MD

    I saw the Blue X mark on both the inoperative stalls this weekend when I swung through to top off. I had called the last time I was in that area for stall 3B but was on hold the entirety of my 40min charging session so I left. This time after consulting with some IRC folks, I used the...

    Supercharger - Laurel, MD

    I ended up using this Supercharger again on Monday and the 3B stall would not initiate a session. I moved to 2B and charged fine. A Model 3 attempted to use stall 3B a little while after I moved and was also unable to charge. I rolled down my window and told him I had an issue and he decided to...

    Supercharger - Laurel, MD

    Just since I said I'd check: When I stopped by last night all but one stall-pair had a car happily charging away so I pulled into the last un-paired stall (3B if memory serves) and initiated a session, which seemed to be functioning fine. Only pulling 50kW but I was also up at like 75% so I...

    Supercharger - Baltimore, MD - South Caton Avenue

    Hopefully, the delay is because they decided on a different location. Since it had been a while since an update, and the last post was kind enough to include the suspected location, I decided to swing by there on the way home from the Guinness Brewery. This WaWa is TINY; above that, it is...

    Supercharger - Annapolis MD

    If you're referring to the Halethorpe Supercharger, then the last post on its thread ( Halethorpe, MD Supercharger status? ) a little over a month ago lists the expected location. I haven't driven there yet but maybe I will this week! I *did* however drive by the Annapolis location on Saturday...

    Maryland HOV Permit

    Apologies for the delay, I couldn't find the original photos so I just ripped them from the thread. Here goes: I started out with buying a sheet of off-brand Lexan at the local Home improvement store ($4ish and another $5ish for the etching knife tool). I enlarged the bar code in case anyone...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    I had this as well, though I am on the older 3G system. I had switched back over to USB playback to see how random it might be. Came back to the car and loading errors galore. I just gave 'er a scroll wheel reboot without much further diagnosis and since it came back up on Slacker, which started...

    Tesla Chargers-Virginia Beach, Virginia

    While folks wait for these to be installed, there are a couple HPWCs at PRESS Wine Bar just west of the north end of the state park. I didn't get to use them last time I was down there because the road was super flooded. . Wine bar is cute and has good food/wine, if a little pricey. They had...

    Maryland HOV Permit

    If you don't want the sticker directly on your paint, you can follow what I rigged up in the thread below: MD HOV sticker This satisfies the requirement for the sticker to be secured w/in 12" of the rear license plate but with the benefit of not messing up your paint!

    Autopilot in DMV

    I end up switching my follow distance around a lot due to the nuances you describe. Follow distance set to 1 is more or less a "polite MD follow distance" it seems, anything greater is an invitation to other drivers to cut in (sans turn signal of course :D )

    Autopilot in DMV

    295 in... well, everywhere, tends to have terrible lane markings. That being said, so long as the traffic is stop and go (which is often) my AP1 car seems to handle things very well. The car is relying more on the car in front of it most of the time (based on what I see turn blue on the IC)...

    Iced windshield wipers. Second winter

    I had a little icing (also have SubZero package) today "driving" in the traffic. Two things helped me. 1st: I had the climate control running while I was at the location I was leaving from. This kept the windshield clear. 2nd: I used the Windshield Wiper Heater as well *but* I would...

    Supercharger - Chester, VA

    Yeah, I decided to try this one out on my trip down to Wilmington last weekend and there was an SUV ICE'ing one of the stalls. Was there when I arrived, was there when I left. He had his hood propped open, I assume, because there was some failure in his vehicle so I didn't expect that he'd be...

    Does this hole in bumper need covered?

    If you've got tape handy, might as well tape over the hole. Of course, I think our area is about to get hammered with some rain/thunderstorms (tomorrow and Monday) since I washed my car last night, so the tape might not last. I'd still probably tape it if it were me. I had a small fender bender...

    MD HOV Permit Picked Up

    1) I intended to only use the screws you call out, but the material ended up extending past the remaining 2 screw holes. In the end, all 4 screws went through the material. 2) The material is about a blades width smaller. I "measured" the exact tag size and cut on the inside of that line. 3) I...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    Nothing substantive to add here, but I figured for everyone's own internal metrics update I would mention that I also use exclusively Linux (like @amosnomor ). The twist for me is that my music currently is a menagorie of tags from Windows, Mac, and Linux sources. I'm going to re-rip...

    How do you split the gas cost?

    My friends and I always seem to have operated on a sort of barter system. Instead of splitting the cost of something, we'd just substitute paying for something else for the group. It usually worked out close enough. There's also the old addage about nobody riding for free; since our cars...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    Well, I have to echo the last page or so of posts. What once was random, now is not. I was optimistic that the USB playback behavior had returned to pre-version 8 randomness, but it really hasn't. Everything that y'all just posted is what I'm seeing with my playback as well. There are...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    Alright; I've been driving around only using USB for a few days now and I *think* that my playback is an acceptable level of random. At the very least, it is not dissimilar to the randomness of the 6dot and 7dot firmware (which also didn't seem super random). With the exception of 1 or 2 songs...

    Comprehensive USB Bug List

    Good to know. I just installed it as well and have been monitoring the randomness of my USB playback. I have somehow managed to avoid the copious rescan issue (knock on matte Obeche wood) so at least I can quickly access the same 7 "random" songs; hopefully my random is more random now but I'm...

    New Model S Places Itself into "Jack Mode" -- Anyone Else Seen This?
