We’ve discussed the new Buccees 1 exit to the east. It was delayed but now appears back on track. “Buc-ee’s received approval from the Amarillo Planning and Zoning Commission during Monday’s meeting to rezone an additional 3.38 acres of land adjacent to Interstate 40 and Juett Attebury Road for...

I have a Tesla wall connector , connected to WiFi, and running the Tesla app on iPhone with version 4.23. Supposedly we can control the connector and set schedules there via the app. I have looked at the Add Devices section of the 4.23 app but I am not seeing any way to connect the Wall...

I entered the lottery for the in-person ticket to the 2022 shareholder meeting at the Austin gigafactory. I got the email yesterday that I was picked. I’ve never been to one of these and had a few questions. How long do they last ? None of the Tesla online product announcements ever seem to...

Another contact tells me Amarillo is getting a second supercharger, and this time it's a fabulous location. The "Toot N Totem" facility at I-40 and Lakeside. This is on the east side of town and would compliment the one on the west side of town. Neither one is super convenient to I-27, but...

Came across this TDLR submission today: What caught my eye was "addition of new charging equipment". Perhaps something publicly available such as an urban supercharger ? Project Name: Tesla Center St. Elmo Project Number: TABS2021007376 Facility Name: 500 E. St Elmo Rd Location Address: 500...

I discovered I couldn't access my Powerwalls on the Tesla app yesterday, ironically while watching the Battery Day livestream. I discovered that the Powerwalls were no longer connected to my WiFi network, which was odd. Tesla support for Powerwalls is far superior to the car support. I...

I heard from a reliable source that Tesla was looking to do more collision and paint work on its own in Dallas. A couple things back that up. I was there getting service and stopped at the Burger King on Mockingbird. Behind Burger King the parking lot was filled with about 50 brand new Tesla's...

Moderator note (bmah): The first few posts in this thread are a merger of two different threads. This just popped up on TDLR. Tesla EV Charging Installation - Brownsville, TX Project Number: TABS2020011691 Facility Name: HEB Plus Location Address: 2155 Paredes Line Road Brownsville, TX 78521...

Anyone seen this ? I have a 2013 Model S 85. While driving, particularly on colder days, the red 'Jack Mode' icon comes on, with a warning that active suspension has been disabled, and the car can potentially be unstable. So far, the active suspension is working fine. No issues driving. I...

AMARILLO Just found a surprise at the local Sam's Club at Westgate Parkway in west Amarillo. Behind a fenced off area (with dark plastic, to prevent peeking inside) were 4 Electrify American units with CCS and Chademo plugs on them. They appear to be a couple weeks from completion, and they...

This is odd, since there is ALREADY a supercharger in Junction. New Dig TESS request posted in parking lot of motel, listed as being for TESLA. JUNCTION, TX 111 MARTINEZ ST Intersecting Street: I-10 Location of Work: THE PARKING LOT AND ROAD FRONTAGE DRIVING DIRECTIONS: DRIVE TO THE DAYS INN...

With drama like this, you should put in a bid for a reality TV show. Something like 'The Real Teslas of the Rockies"

This guy tried and failed. Warrant: Funds for Tesla vehicle seized during kidnapping, sex trafficking investigation LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A Lubbock man was arrested in Clovis, New Mexico earlier this month after he was accused of an aggravated kidnapping which happened in Lubbock. Officials...

Is there any way, with the Tesla or any 3rd party app, to modify the charge rate remotely? Here why I'm asking: I have solar panels at home. We are in one of those unfortunate areas without Net Metering. This time of year purchasing electricity from Xcel costs about $0.10, and if I produce...

"LeEco Holdings founder Jia Yueting, whose company’s businesses include online video, electric cars and smartphones, was a rising star in China’s tech industry who aimed to take on Apple, Tesla and Netflix. He also invested in U.S. electric-car startup Faraday Future. But the company has been...

Driving back this evening to Amarillo from a meeting wrapping up this evening in Southlake, I decided to make an overnight stop in Vernon rather than take the long way around via Denton / Ardmore / OKC / Shamrock. I was pleasantly SHOCKED to find a Tesla HPWC at the Vernon Hampton Inn. They...

I feel like I need to be calling Click and Clack on Car Talk for this one. My better half likes to close her car door by pushing on the upper distal corner of the door. Most cars now have metal frames around the window, so for all our other cars this a a metal piece of the door. But on the...

Although Amarillo's supercharger is still in eternal 'Coming Soon' status, it could be useful for Texas to Colorado drivers to know what the drive is like from Amarillo to the Trinidad SC. Executive Summary: Westbound to Trinidad: Trip at reduced speed consumed 252 of my 261 rated miles...

This place is on my bucket list. The US Army opens the Trinity Site for visitors for only two days a year. The next day is October 3, at 8am - 2pm. The parking lot is a 1/8 mile walk to the actual ground zero. I wanted to throw out a possible meetup and Tesla caravan to the New Mexico site...

I could trade in my MS for this. The TF-Xâ„¢ | Terrafugia If they pull this off, I'd want a pilots license.

For those of you who use an Apple Watch, have you noticed that sometimes your iPhone fails to pair with your Tesla ? I initially thought this was a problem with a firmware update (I'm on .239) , but then realized it happened only when I had forgotten to unlock my Apple Watch when putting it on...

We had a great turnout for the Shamrock St. Patrick's Day Parade & Festival to celebrate the new Tesla Supercharger at U-Drop Inn. I'll post more later, but Shamrock had perfect weather and a huge crowd turn out for the parade. We then regrouped at the Supercharger / U-Drop Inn where there was...

I got confirmation from HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS HOTEL & SUITES MIDTOWN that they are getting the ABQ Superchargers. Address: 2500 Menaul Blvd NE, Albuquerque NM 87107 This makes sense, since all of the other I-40 superchargers at at Holiday Inn Express locations from ABQ to Amarillo My contact...

I just received the following from the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS in Santa Rosa, NM Their address is 2516 Historic Route 66, Santa Rosa, NM 88435 "Hi there ....,Yes we are getting a Tesla supercharger which should be up an running in less then 2 weeks. It is currently being installed as we speak...

Just heard a rumor that the Holiday Inn Express & Suites at 8330 W Amarillo Blvd would be the site. This section of Amarillo Blvd is the former Route 66, and would be accessed from the Soncy Drive exit from I-40 or, if coming from the west, exiting on Business I-40. I called the Holiday Inn...

To celebrate Texas' newest Supercharger in Shamrock, we are organizing a contingent of Teslas to join the parade on SATURDAY MARCH 14. I have submitted a parade entry form. You can see more about the Parade and all the festivities at http://www.shamrocktexas.net/parade . This year's theme is...

Supercharger - Shamrock TX at Route 66 icon "U-Drop Inn" underway I just had confirmation from folks in Shamrock, TX that construction is underway at the famous Route 66 icon "U-Drop Inn" They even featured U-Drop Inn in the Pixar classic "Cars" U-Drop Inn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia...

I've had a Blink in my garage since March 2011 when my Leaf arrived. Outside of it needing a new SD Card once to boot from, it's been reliable. After we added the Tesla, I didn't mind so much that it could only deliver 30 amps when the MS can handle 40 amps. I was surprised the last 3 -4...

Right now Amarillo does not yet have it's supercharger. For those who are passing through on I-40, a local B&B has installed a NEMA 14-50 in their driveway for guests who stay overnight. http://www.lacasita.freeservers.com/index.htm La Casita del Sol is a recently restored home converted to...

<Tilting_at_Windmills> Perhaps I'm being picky, but my renewal for the registration for my Model S lists the Fuel Type as GAS. I'm returning it for payment , with a note on the registration renewal notice that this is incorrect, and they need to fix it. Just seems a bit odd that a state as...

Looks like even the UT student body is aware of anti-competitive rules preventing direct Tesla sales here. http://www.dailytexanonline.com/opinion/2013/09/10/horns-down-for-sept-11-tesla-in-texas The Daily Texan Editorial Board was echoing the sentiments of NPR's StateImpact Texas on the...

I-27 TxDOT rest stop north of Abernathy My motives Once you drive the Tesla, you really want to do all of your driving in your Tesla. Other cars are just not nearly as fun. Thus when I needed from Amarillo to Austin, Texas to pick up my daughters at college, I immediately wanted to drive...
