    Supercharger - Bend, OR - SW. Industrial Way (LIVE Jun 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    Initially I agreed with you — but then, Bend is a tourist town. Every day, summer & winter, tons of visitors here for 3-4 days are heading up Cascades Lakes Hwy and returning to their hotels. Given that, it's not an illogical location at all.

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    John Day would be great, and either Prineville or Mitchell so those of us along the 97 (Bend, Madras) could hit the central Oregon attractions that aren't as far as John Day (like Painted Hills). The only problem being the installers would be shot on sight in Prineville. 😂

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    So bizarre that they leave it wide open and accessible, with no sign or tape or anything, almost as if they're trying to trick people into attempting a charge.

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    So has anyone tried it? It appears completely done, no construction tape or anything.

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    I rolled by there last night around midnight, and it's looking pretty good. All the underground work is done. Just need to finish the pavement and install the equipment.

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Mitchell, OR is my current "most wanted" supercharger location. That would open up every awesome day trip location.

    Let's talk about audio: Immersive Sound

    Since the Tesla stereo is so low-powered (because it's an electric car) it has inherently muddy sound and a weak low end that distorts at even modest volume. Immersive Sound is an attempt to compensate for this by adding a "wow factor" stereo chorus effect with a bit of stereo reverb. This...

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    I am sitting here in the parking lot right now, going by the description in the permit. I have driven everywhere and looked all over. No sign of any construction of any kind. Not even anything to post a picture of. ☹️

    A charger in John Day would be awesome.

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    I say Prineville is the #1 next most valuable location. Opens up the Ochocos. @Guvnah Curious, what makes you expect a service center in Bend?

    DIY fix for a dash rattle

    I have a persistent buzz/rattle in my dash: anytime the road is less smooth than a billiard table, it's constant. It comes from the red striped area. I can stop it easily by either pushing down on that area, or by pulling up where the red X is (I could probably jam a cork in there and stop it.)...

    Listen to Podcasts?

    Tesla even having a podcast app reminds me of a 4Runner we bought at a time when it only played MP3s bought from the Toyota music store. That probably died a horrible death after about 6 months. :-)

    Listen to Podcasts?

    Yes the continuation of the existing podcast works nicely, as with any Bluetooth device. But when that show ends and I want to browse to see what episodes are up from all the shows I listen to...

    Reason why no Apple Carplay

    I get this, but I'm not sure it's correct. Maps in CarPlay doesn't control anything; it's really just a moving image with audio alerts. Presumably CarPlay would exist in its own window, with Tesla nav still always on in the background, doing its normal Tesla duties. No expert, so I could easily...

    Way better trade-in price from Tesla than from CarMax

    I was trading in a beater 2013 Golf R with 100K miles. Tesla gave me $13,700 for it, and CarMax offered only $11,400. Giant surprise to me, as CarMax has always been VERY good to me with the prices they've paid. Data point for you, hope it's helpful to someone.

    Listen to Podcasts?

    I drive other cars, all of which I’ve installed CarPlay decks if they didn’t already have it. The ability to have my podcast list move with me from car to car, with the playhead position stored for each, is what made me fall in love with CarPlay. I’ll be honest: the loss of this feature made me...

    Any unauthorized person can use the car during charging?

    Ha! Thanks. Amazing how often I run into people, and where... :-)

    Why the "exclude" options on Sentry Mode?

    Exactly, but it turns red once I click it.

    Why the "exclude" options on Sentry Mode?

    Yes, no problem there.

    Why the "exclude" options on Sentry Mode?

    Just checked and I already do have that on. But I’ve never seen the Hal button be red unless I turn it on.

    Any unauthorized person can use the car during charging?

    No, check the OP. I made sure my phone and both keys were very far away in the house.

    Why the "exclude" options on Sentry Mode?

    How do you get it to be active all the time? Mine turns itself off each time I use the car. All I'm doing is clicking the little circle at the top right to turn it into Hal. Is there a step I'm missing?

    Any unauthorized person can use the car during charging?

    Thanks Big Earl. I just checked and this was already turned on.

    Why the "exclude" options on Sentry Mode?

    How do you get it to be active 100% of the time? My little button turns from Hal to Off each time I use the car, it does not appear to be a persistent function.

    Any unauthorized person can use the car during charging?

    Just charged at home last night for the first time. I made sure my phone and card keys were very far away, and verified that the screen was turned off and that it was getting cold inside the car. Then I waltzed in and entered (no phone or keys), sat down, and everything turned on for me, giving...

    Why the "exclude" options on Sentry Mode?

    Maybe I'm not understanding the function correctly — but if you have to hit the little Sentry Mode button every time you want to use it, then why are there the options to exclude locations like Home and Work? Just don't hit the button if you don't want to record there.

    2nd phone app user: Same Tesla account or separate?

    Took delivery yesterday, got my phone app set up great. Then when installing the app on my wife's phone, I wondered whether it makes any difference if we log in on her phone using my same Tesla account, or is there a reason to create a separate Tesla account for her? We're only ever going to...
