I have regularly charged using a 115-125V 15 Amp outlet. At 115V it’s 3 miles per hour and at 125V it’s 4 miles per hour. However, do not have any other load on the circuit. If the garage door is on the same circuit unplug the car temporarily. If you want plug in a saw, leaf blower, etc...

Charging with Level II for overnight or a weekend would be acceptable. What would be better is that airports should install Level I (120V) chargers or outlets for longer term parking. Tampa International Remote and Economy parking has 120V chargers - it’s assumed the cars are parked for an...

Agree considering the problems owners have had with refurbished battery packs. A new pack should outlast its warranty.

The Tesla Chademo Adapter was useful and in actual use not that much slower than a Supercharger with older 125 kW Teslas. Using 50 kW Chademo charger there would be no charge taper until just before shut-off. A very useful alternative.

The question to ask is not ‘what is the car’s value?’ but rather how much do I like the car and how long I want to keep it? If you like the car and plan to keep it long term than a new battery with a 4 year warranty can be justified even future repair costs for other items. But if you’re only...

At some time all EV vehicles will experience low charge battery due to weather, terrain, or speed. The solution to get to the next charging station is to slow down. The point to slow down is when reported range is within 10% greater than distance to the charger. The slower you drive the less...

$200 is charge for pulling the battery and testing it.

For three weeks occasionally when shutting off my 2013 Model S Performance the “Car May not restart” would pop up. Then after upgrading to the latest software version the I got two errors, “ Car May not restart” and BMS w026. In addition upper power limit was lowered and regenerative brakes...

NERC requires it, ERCOT did not require it.

Elon moves the headquarters of Tesla to a state which it is illegal to sell Tesla cars.

Elon moves the headquarters to a state where you can't buy a Tesla unless you do it on-line and for the foreseeable future will remain with these restrictions. He moves to a state where Governor Abbot has stated that companies moving into Texas are de facto approving of Texas Republican social...

Buy it! For my 2013 Model S P85 my last service (June 2021) had an estimate of $2200 - replacing 12V battery, water in tail light, metal clanking sound from rear axle, stuck side view mirror. My cost $200. Since having the extended warranty I've saved over $8000 which included a drive unit...

My 2013 Model S P85 developed a loud metal clanking sound when going over bumps from the left rear wheel. The sound is best described as a piece of sheet metal hitting another piece of hard metal. The surprising service fix was replacing the left wheel parking brake. The service center also...

When I took in my 2013 Model S P85 for service of several faults the Rochester (Henrietta) Service Center added to change out the eMMC to the service without asking.

Savannah parking garages have time limits (3 hours) for use of chargers, both Tesla and J1772. My experience is that if you park late you can park overnight as long as you move by 7 am. You will get ticketed during the working hours including weekends. Holidays appear safer. The other things...

Sunday December 22 - other than truck parked with pallet on back no other crates on site.

My tire pressure sensors failed on my 2013 P85 with extended warranty. Other than the deductible the sensors and system was updated to display individual tire pressure and covered by the extended warranty.

Wow! Quick progress for 2 days - when I was there on Wednesday the crew was using a small backhoe to dig up the site.

OOPS, forgot to take a photo. Talked to the foreman to confirm Supercharger and he told me about one month timeline. Visited 10/30/19 at 4:50 pm.

8 Stalls will be installed.

Confirmed - started construction at the Sheetz Station Maynard St/I-180/US220-15. Located between the gas pumps and railroad. Should be completed in one month. Perfect location for US 15 drivers between Painted Post and Harrisburg.

You are correct. When I clicked through got Jose Antonio's Referral.

Did a Google search on Tesla and got this ad at the top of the search.

In August drove from Jacksonville FL to Seattle WA with an overnight drive from Sioux Falls SD to Seattle WA - 1500 miles with stops at Mt. Rushmore and Little Bighorn Battlefield. Left Sioux Falls SD at 6 am and arrived next day in Seattle WA 1 pm - only busy Supercharger was Ellensburg WA, I...

Version 9 is the updated Model 3 UI that has been adapted to the larger Model S and X screens by using the ‘always on’ navigation screen to fill up the empty space at the top of the screen. Since the Model 3 screen is ‘landscape’ sideways versus the Model S-X ‘portait’ tall the ‘extra’ windows...

Having a 2013 pre-Autopilot Model S I always keep the backup camera on as the Model S has big blind spots. I always glance at the display in heavy traffic before changing lanes. For me the split screen is a necessity with backup camera on top and navigation on the bottom.

Great news! I'm glad I got my Flo account and card. Now I don't have drive across Maine on a two lane highway from Bangor to Edmundston. Expressway all the way.

Up in Jacksonville Tesla placed the Superchargers correctly prevent locals from overusing them to for local area charging. Kingsland and St. Augustine are 40 miles from downtown. It's not worth it to just charge for Jacksonville owners. Even during the Christmas rush it was just the...

Opening 10 am Monday 11/23 Tesla Store by Talbots on Nordstrom end of mall drive. Opens 11/23 at 10 am. Six 80A HWPC chargers are being installed behind the store.

At the Sarasota store there are six HPWC chargers. Most likely the chargers are for demo cars along with two-three for public charging.

Just talked to service ranger picking my car up for it's annual service. He said the current plans for Jacksonville is to have a permanent local service range stationed here to handle the smaller jobs and adjustments with the local service ranger transporting cars for major service to Orlando.

Just after Supercharging yesterday when leaving the parking lot with the car on a short but steep slope waiting for traffic to clear on the road I received a Low Coolant Warning that last about a minute. I have driven more 200 miles since that time without additional warning. Any ideas?

If you see this error on a Signet CHAdeMO charger it shows the "Emergency" has tripped and needs resetting. To reset start the Charging session from the "Ready" screen touch 'button', select charger cord to use by touching the selection (if charger has SAE CCS and CHAdeMO connectors). If...

Is the yacht floor 2013-early 2014 with rubber grommet (around the edges of the floor) or the newer (later 2014) where the floor is held in by side trim and trim piece under the storage chubby?

It's 240 miles between the Ocala and Savannah Superchargers. A long way doable only at lower speeds. If you have a CHADeMO adapter there is Greenlots charger at the JEA Building on Main St. downtown. Or Ocala-Palatka-St. Augustine for the St. Augustine Supercharger. Depending on how much...

Plantation/Miami is no longer on the Tesla Supercharger map for either coming soon or 2015. It does show up on the 2016 map. This may represents a long delay for a new site selection.

Did you consider that the Hatch opener only comes with the $5000 interior upgrade package? It was taken out of the standard features that were in the Tech Package.

Weekend deliveries for Saturday are possible but be sure to contact Dania in advance as Saturdays are crowded with deliveries. My September, 2013 delivery was scheduled 3 weeks in advance as I came down from Jacksonville.

Beginnings of an Electric Vehicle backlash. The City of Plantation, Florida is holding up the issuance of a building permit for Superchargers on various conditions. One of the conditions is that Tesla cannot restrict parking to only Tesla or electric vehicles even if a 30 minute exemption...

Move it from Plantation, especially after the objection to place any restriction (and signs) limiting parking to electric vehicles regardless if there is a 30 minute limit (as usual for many Supercharger locations) for non-electric vehicles. Along with the objection that the 'Tesla' on the...

Sawgrass/I-75 would be a better travel corridor to site a Supercharger for travel to central-south Miami-Dade and Key West. Along with drivers from Ft. Myers / Naples on I-75.

Attention South Florida Tesla Owners! The last condition is Zoning DOES NOT want signs limiting parking to Tesla Vehicles and will not allow signs to be posted. An invitation to ICE'd Superchargers. Most of permit conditions are picky and some are very expensive - such as boring 3 feet under...

I insure Sept 2013 delivery P85 in northern Florida for $680 per year ($100,000/$300,000) through AARP Hartford. The insurance for my 2005 VW Passat Wagon TDI is more. I insure 3 cars for $2100 per year.

Tesla now lists the CHAdeMO adapter for $450 instead of $1000. However it is still listed as a'Available Soon'. Also the HWPC is now $750 the same price as the Model S ordering page.

Two service areas on the NJ Turnpike will get Superchargers according to NJ.com

Having the SuperCharger in Pembroke Pines off I-75 serves 3 purposes: 1. It's 140 miles from Fort Myers, whereas from Port St.Lucie is 100 miles. 2. It's on the best route for through travelers to the Keys. 3. Most of Dade County Population is west of I-95, the Pembroke Pines location serves...

Just got a e-mail from Blink about their new 'competitive' (IMHO stealing) rates of 39 to 79 cents per kWh for Level 2 charging, 49 to 69 cents per kWh for DC charging or where per kWh charging is not allowed or impractical - 4-6 cents per minute for Level 2 or $6.99-$9.99 session for DC...

Parked 8/29 at Mint St. Garage (Residence Inn) and there were 3 white Model S with California Mfg Tags plugged in. One 85 and two P85s. Gone the next morning before 9 am. Anything special happening?
