    Supercharger - Cupertino, CA - Stevens Creek Blvd (LIVE 17 Nov 2020, 28 V3 stalls)

    Anyone know why, and for how long this entire site is out of action? N/A since Tuesday [or maybe longer even ]

    Hearst Castle - Tesla destination chargers

    Heading there in April - is there a fee for using the chargers there or is it free for ticketed visitors?

    Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - Geary Blvd. (LIVE 20 May 2021, 16 V3 + 18 Urban stalls)

    And Tesla's own website states quite clearly these are 'superchargers' even if slower.. 'Free Supercharging for Life' is 'Free Supercharging for life' is it not, regardless of what kind of 'Supercharger' you use??

    Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - Geary Blvd. (LIVE 20 May 2021, 16 V3 + 18 Urban stalls)

    All the SC's there were full the other day, and my wife plugged into a Level 2 for a short period of time. We got the 'free Supercharging for life ' deal when buying the car, so, for the first time ever, got charged for using one of the L2? A grand, unholy sum of 39c for 1KWH ! - Am simply...

    Service center Bay Area

    I've been told by a couple of high end/high volume Fremont detailers and body shops that the Fremont Service center is particularly bad also, both from their experience and that anecdotally of their customers. This of course is very disappointing given its proximity to the Factory [if one was to...

    Tesla App shows cameras need upgrade on vehicle that has MCU2 and new cameras for FSD Beta?

    I'm due for my camera upgrade end of month - I know the cameras are superior to my current version, am very curious if it means my Sentry Mode camera feeds for these will now be in higher resolution and in true-color [ie all other cameras apart from the reversing camera] ? For Sentry Mode...

    Service center Bay Area

    Here's my 2 local Bay Area service center experiences - net - there's now 2 less for me to choose from [my decision] 1) MCU Upgrade from V1 to V2 in San Francisco: Service tech mangled screen install, left wires dangling inside the car and asked me to sign off, and damaged the wood fascia to...

    Tesla App shows cameras need upgrade on vehicle that has MCU2 and new cameras for FSD Beta?

    My Nov 2016 FSD Model S is scheduled for a Mobile Service upgrade of the cameras next week. FWIW I already have the MCU2 Upgrade if that makes a difference? Based on previous horror-story experiences involving any kind of Tesla Service, I'm expecting problems, not the least that they contact me...

    2022.20.9 / App requires now Location permissions on phone to see car on map

    A few months ago, I could see the car's location and speed, on the map, without any form of GPS requirement on my phone. Now, I must switch on location permissions, and I only see the car's location on the map. Speed if applicable, on the main menu. This doesn't feel like progress at all...

    2022.20.9 / App requires now Location permissions on phone to see car on map

    I get this prompt. Like I said, 99% of the time I never have location services switched on in my iPhone. And I've never had to enable it on historically for this purpose. The only time I've ever used location services enabled in the Tesla App was for summon when it obviously needs my location...

    2022.20.9 / App requires now Location permissions on phone to see car on map

    Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but site-search didn't surface; I seldom have location permissions enabled on my iPhone [iOS 16 now if that's relevant] - usually only for navigating city/transit etc or Google Maps etc. But as a rule, it's off 99% of the time. but as of now, the Tesla...

    Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - 16th St (LIVE 7 Jul 2023, 12 stalls)

    So do this mean they're starting construction on it soon? Hope the Wifi/Cellphone reception's good there, would never leave any car unoccupied here

    USB Music - cover art

    For high quality album [and often Single/EP too] artwork @ 1000PX I highly recommend Fanart.Tv. Unlike some other sites, no drama, no login or password required. The artwork also seems to be something of a showcase for Photoshoppers- old album artwork is enhanced, scanned fonts from artwork...

    USB Music - cover art

    Anxiously awaiting this [still on 2021.36.5.1] and hoping the hours I invested for my home streaming DAC system thoughtfully tagging all metadata and embedding album art [even to the album single level - "OCD Alert" ;) ] will again be rewarded, and not sabotaged by some lousy 'matching'...

    Monument Valley Scenic Drive - in a Model S?

    We've just come back from Monument Valley over Thanksgiving [2021] We really did have big concerns about charging availability as we drove to Monument Valley from Sedona, the last Supercharger on that route being 150kw's in Flagstaff in the parking lot of a Marriott. Although somewhat weary...

    In the spirit of 'if you don't ask you don't get', fwiw I joined up & tweeted Mr Musk himself, feel free to pile in with re-tweets or whatever might help to "amplify the signal of our collective discontent towards resolution" [no pun intended on that resolution !! 😜 ] at the link below, ..trust...

    Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - Geary Blvd. (LIVE 20 May 2021, 16 V3 + 18 Urban stalls)

    out of curiosity, is there any "definition" of what qualifies as 'Compact' ? e.g. would a Model X 'infringe' on that definition ??? if it doesn't why would they bother even painting that on these stalls

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    Thank you very much - by chance any "full length side view" shots ? looks fantastic

    Show off your aftermarket wheels.

    Might I request photos of specifically Model S in Midnight Silver with "Sonic Carbon" genuine [not knock off] Arachnids [I think the Grey ones were quite rare in referral circles compared to silver or black, but I know they exist ! or perhaps they were called a different colour?] Many thanks...

    Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - Geary Blvd. (LIVE 20 May 2021, 16 V3 + 18 Urban stalls)

    Thanks - yes my question is basically "If I was shopping at this site and was happy to have a slower charging rate so how would I know which was a V2 or V3?"

    Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - Geary Blvd. (LIVE 20 May 2021, 16 V3 + 18 Urban stalls)

    Sorry if this is an obvious - [though I couldn't find much of an answer on Google fwiw !] - at a site with both L2 & L3 Superchargers, how do you tell the difference when selecting which Supercharger - [ie particularly when planning a shopping visit and happy to have a slower charge rate] any...

    Supercharger - San Francisco, CA - 16th St (LIVE 7 Jul 2023, 12 stalls)

    Does the building permit application specify which level the chargers were planned for? Seriously, Potrero/16th is so ghetto there will be a marked difference in usage depending on whether the chargers are upper or lower level; Upper implies some level of 'crowdsourced' security while you...

    Charging Flap interior 'rubber cover'

    The ~ trapezoid 'rubber cover' on the interior of my 2017 Model S charging port cover keeps detaching - it appears to have a low grade metal backing, and a couple of rubber 'lugs' which in my case, aren't broken, but simply won't hold the 'cover' in place. Any suggestions for glue or otherwise...

    Arachnid Tire bundle - still Pilot Super Sport not Sport 4S?

    Wondered if any Arachnid referral owners/"winners" can confirm the bundled Michelins remain Super Sport and Sport 4S is not an option? The Sport 4S ~ replaced the Super Sport several years ago for most purposes & is arguably the better tire now. [CupSport not really a valid alternative since...

    For what it's worth, am not seeing the 16th & Potrero site on the Tesla Supercharger 'coming soon' map indicator [not sure how reliable it is ?]. Believe me, you'd want to either stay in your car or make sure your Sentry Mode was recording all 5 cameras there, that location has gone so ghetto...

    MCU1 S Owners: Logic FOR/AGAINST Tesla's $2,500 "Infotainment Upgrade"? (Not required for FSD)

    My 2016 Model S currently has FSD, AP2 and MCU1, I am scheduled to get my AP2 -> HW3 and MCU1 ->2 upgrade done this week. Main motivation for this upgrade is that I plan to get an aftermarket hifi system installed this summer [only have basic in my Model S] & have read that Tesla service...

    Tesla Model S insurance in cost of ownership calculator
