    Supercharger - Iowa City, IA

    This is in my former neighborhood in Iowa City. Easier access than Coralville for anyone traveling E/W on I-80. I agree, doesn't help N/S 218 travelers at all. Insider tip ... The Hilltop Tap is directly across the street from this new charger location and was my neighborhood bar. It looks a...

    Supercharger - Gilman, IL

    Any updates on the Gilman IL Supercharger location. Planning a trip through that area in the next 30 days it's key to know if this will be available. The Tesla web site says it's available. Supercharge.info says it's been down for 8 days. Most recent comment here is that it's offline...

    2020 Model 3 LR AWD vs. Bambi ... it was a draw!

    To clarify ... cruise control and auto-pilot were not engaged but "Automated Emergency Braking" was turned on.

    2020 Model 3 LR AWD vs. Bambi ... it was a draw!

    About 3 blocks from my house in a residential neighborhood I had this close encounter with a deer. Right-hand video is the front camera - you can watch it approach and then "bounce" off and pick up on the left camera view. Notably, the Tesla Model 3 did NOT do any braking on its own. Neither...

    Location based charging limit? Home vs. work.

    30000 miles per year x 300 wh/mi = 9000 kWh * $0.15 (residential rate) = $1350 vs. ZERO. Seems almost like real money to me.

    Location based charging limit? Home vs. work.

    Thanks to @RoBoRaT and @MorrisonHiker for sifting through my post and identifying the real question: How to take advantage of free (and green) charging at my office as much as possible. I will do some experimenting. I do have the STATS app that allows some additional scheduling. Note that I also...

    Location based charging limit? Home vs. work.

    I have LR AWD and a 100 mile round trip commute. Free charging at my office with 40 amp level 2 ... about 35 mi/hr charging. I have 240V outlet in my home garage and have been using the mobile charger and plugging it in regularly at home to make sure I have enough range at all times. Now ...

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    Took delivery of my Model 3 as scheduled last weekend. The Chicago-Westmont location was very busy with deliveries and test drives. They definitely could use a few more staff members to handle the workload. I had to wait about 1/2 hour beyond my scheduled time but when they got to me it went...

    LR AWD Waiting Room

    Delivery of my Blue LR AWD tomorrow afternoon at Chicago-Westmont. Ordered on 10/22. Had to call Tesla sales a few times to push along the online process and get the VIN for insurance purposes, etc. Didn't get the contract updated until I called Westmont directly two days ago. They told me the...
