    Looking for people's experience at Superchargers in the Midwest

    We have used all the Superchargers mentioned by OP except Angola. No issues with ICEing in the spring during our roadtrip to and from New Jersey. Saw at most 2 other Model Ses at each SC. Here's a link to the TM forum with good information on most Superchargers...

    The crossing guard at my son's school thought that I put the lashes on to keep my husband out of the driver's seat.

    First long-ish distance trip for the MS on its 1st bday....to Wisc. Dells

    We made the trip to the Dells this winter in our 60 kWh Model S. 140 miles from our house to Madison in 20F not a problem. We charged to 19x miles at Madison, had the car unplugged for 3 days in single digit temperatures, some driving around and had enough to make it back to Madison. It was our...

    Model S Technical / Mechanical Issues

    mknox, depending on how long you are staying in Chicago, you might want to contact the Highland Park Service Center as they have a supercharger at that location.

    If You Could Order Again, What Options Would You Get

    My bare-bones configuration was a 40 kWh Model S with pano roof. We ended up with a blue 60 with pano/ tech/ tan leather/ obeche gloss/ SC/ air. I have the pano open when temp is warmer than 50F. Not so popular with the rest of the family: too much sun/wind/ noise/ heat when open. No issues...

    easy for kid to start the car?

    My 10 year old has set up his own driver profile. At 4'9" or so, he can reach the pedals. His 60 lbs in the driver's seat and foot on the brake pedal turns on the car.

    What do you do for work? Just passing time waiting for updates from Tesla :)

    Ooooh! I love to drive. My son loves pizza. We can outvote my husband (who doesn't like to drive or pizza) and show up at your place :)

    Single Women Tesla Owners

    I guess I don't technically qualify since I am married and put my husband's name on the registration along with mine. He wasn't at the delivery and I had to forge his signature. I have driven at least 14,000 of the 14,270 miles on the car. Here is my "girly" Model S. Em, check out the TM...

    Strange Color on Charge Port

    Sorry, changed to public. Actually, that happened just before a planned 2000 mile trip. I wasn't sure what that meant, called Service and they replaced it. I didn't want any complications while out of town!

    There is some noise but not loud enough that you wouldn't be able to make a phone call.

    Never mind. Didn't read the previous posts! No noise while driving. Minimal when parked.

    Firmware 5.9

    No noise whatsoever with lowering (5.9, ..94). I have it set at >55 MPH and have checked from time to time to see if it actually lowers since it is not that noticeable.

    Same here. Used Madison x2, Rockford x1, Highland Park x2 and never saw another Model S charging while we were there. Yet to make it to Pleasant Prairie.

    Roadtrip

    You should be fine! Especially in the flat midwest and now that it's warmer. Just keep an eye on your energy usage on the way up and you'll get the hang of it by the time you come back.

    Actually, that's 70. You forgot to cross off Maumee, OH. I probably wouldn't be able to get Pleasant Prairie, WI until late spring/ early summer. North shore/ Wisconsin guys?

    Supercharger - Cranberry, PA (NW of Pittsburgh)

    Cranberry is not listed on the TM website but shows up in the car. We will plan to make it a stop on the way back to Chicago from NJ tomorrow so we are not the slowest car on the highway. Maybe we can be the first non-PA resident to supercharge there :)

    Supercharger - Cranberry, PA (NW of Pittsburgh)

    Thanks. I will have to see how the energy usage is to that point. Got <300 wH/ mile (rated range) over the weekend averaging 65 MPH. But with rain in the forecast in OH on Saturday, I might take JakeP up on the offer. Nothing much close to Somerset on Plugshare.

    Didn't suffice, hence reboot both car and phone (each seemed to blame the other) per service center advice

    Firmware 5.8.6/7/8/9/10

    My Model S wouldn't connect with my iPhone last week prior to 5.8.8. TM had me disconnect the phone from the car, the car from the phone, reboot the car, turn phone off/ on and then reconnect to solve the problem.
