reviving this old thread. But the only way I have found is in the car and taping on the SC's. I did a trip recently and don't mind driving at night, so I planned it so I would hit the first SC just after 10p which is when the SC rate fell to $.21/kWh peak time in the middle'sh of the day it...

I totally agree and I used to live near there. It is not a straight forward exit and charge and back on. Also with construction the highway 43, I believe all summer of 2022, it will get more complicated. But it is a good distance to Oak Creek, Sheboygan or Menomonee Falls so physically it's a...

I have never been in that ramp, I hope it is free to get in to charge?

Has anyone seen any progress on this? We drove through last night and saw the new Culvers from the highway but at 2am didn't want to go drive around looking for them :)

Carl, it doesn't hurt the car at all to not be pre-conditioned, the car won't let you do things to the battery to damage it, it will just reduce power if it is really cold and have little to no regen. Last winter our car would sit outside for 12+ hours at -15F or -25C and the car works fine...

A few days ago we turned on our rear defrost on and about a minute later heard a loud crack. Thought it was odd. Then we noticed the rear glass is cracked right along one of the defrost lines and there is a burn mark on the glass on the defrost line. Is there any way the defrost caused this...

Is it just me but when I put the car in reverse the wipers turn on in the fastest mode, it seems to do this pretty regularly, can't image what the thought is, maybe the back camera is dirty so it turns the front wiper on? I also have resorted to turning off auto mode until I actually need it, I...

Yes and then if you are at a SC charging with another EV and know you are paying more than the Tesla cars are paying, it would make you think about switching...

Someone said when they talked to the install people from Menomonie Falls they said they were working on the Bayshore Mall as well as Woodman's in Racine/ Pleasant Prairie one as well, but a couple of weeks behind Menomonie. But no one asked them exactly where it was.

Now that Menomonee Falls is just about done has anyone figured out where this actually is? Inside the ramp?

RTPEV I agree on the cost per mile, but I have yet to find a person in the real world that has even a guess as to what it would be in their vehicle, But when I told them if I "fuel" my car at home it cost me $2 a gallon and my car gets 120 mpg, they all see to understand that. I do agree that...

RTPEV you are correct, our M3 wasn't intended to be the cheapest thing to drive that 600 mile trip, but it previously worked out that way. It is the least expensive driving locally, since we have PV on our house and pay only $.0603 per kWh with off peak rates. I did do some more math and...

My understanding this is across the US. My guess is they are implementing this as they are opening up to other cars using SC's. This now compares makes taking our Chevy Volt (40 mpg) the same as taking our M3 600 miles, right about $45, which is a bummer... The M3 used to cost about $20 or...

Anyone been by Menomonie lately, any news?

OHHHHHHH I heard rumors about it being there as well. If you hear anything report back, we are in that area a lot with kids swimming at the Schroeder YMCA in Brown Deer for big swim meets, so I always have to stop in Sheboygan and make sure I am above 60 to get to Schroeder and back up to...

Is there something besides the J1772 near the Kohls at the mall?

The rumor I heard is for Tesla to get the federal funds as a charging network they need to have their charger network "open" and again the rumor is they may add CCS (and maybe chadmo?) to the existing SC sites so current EV's could charge at a Tesla supercharger. I like this option, if true...

Not sure if you found them or if they might be in this box, but I bought one similar to this one for all the missing clips and have good luck finding one close enough so far. I have used far too many in the past few years :)...

Our Orbitals were also starting to rattle so I took them off and used gaff tape on each pinch point where it grabs the stock wheel which stopped the rattling. I did see a tiny bit of scraping in the same stop so this should also help with the scratching as well. The part I REALLY don't like...

I would have to look again with the filter out, but the drain was below the AC coil and air filter, I highly doubt, even foaming, it would get very far up the coil spraying it in from the bottom, but I have never tried...

Joe so do you think the recirc is throwing the water back on the filters? In looking at it I am confused as to how the condensate / water is getting all over the filters?

Just throwing this out there after looking in the filter area and see the pictures of the same filter / duct area above, my thought is now to leave the fan set to 5 or less. My thought (and I could be totally wrong) is that on a 5'ish or lower fan speed it allows the water to fall normally and...

Same here can't seem to connect to the car lately. Even when I know the car is awake and charging, it just spins and times out and can't connect. After a few tries it will usually connect. But sometimes it won't. I also noticed this after updating to 2021.12.25.7 I did reboot the car and the...

We have a Dec 2018, technically I think it is the mid range version? I have scan my tesla and the battery was at 115F when we started and 135F when we left. From TeslaFi North 26th Street, Escanaba, Michigan 49829, United States 7:24 PM* - 7:32 PM* 8 Minutes 41% 15% - 56% Used: 24.4 kWh...

Just wanted to throw this out. We live in Green Bay, Wi and we took a day trip up to Fayette state park and Kitch-iti-kipi or Big Springs state park. We had a 8 minute stop on the way up and 7 minute on the way home, but we made it no problem. We only had one fellow Tesla on both stops, but...

I wonder with the new hepa filter under the hood on the Y will fix the wet filter smell problem? Do the S's and X's with that larger pre-filter have the smell problem as well? I am really tempted to try only the pre-filter or intake filter and leave the ones out. It does look like the...

I don't understand why recirc would make the smell / problem worse. I would think recirc air would have less humidity in the air and thus less condensation on the coils and less potential for nasty things to grow in there. But I can see fresh air would force more fresh air though the coils and...

Any dirt moved yet?

If I recall correctly we would loose FM radio going from 2.5 to 3.0? Or am I incorrect?

Any guesses as to when they might be back to turn the Soo SC on? Or when Escy might come on line? We are heading to Garden mid August and hoping we can take the Tesla instead of the ice :)

Out of curiosity, we have HW2.5. Is all they change the one board to HW3.0? Do they mess with cameras or the display at all? Recently I drove a newer Y with 3.0 and the driving display had much more info on it, displaying speed limit signs as I pass them ect. also the display seemed to...

Yes it would be nice if the software saw an error or problem with the 12v battery it would just keep the DC2DCC on all the time while continuously showing you the warning. While it is less common if a cell actually shorts out, the max you can charge it would be ~2v less that what it should be...

I can see in teslafi our powered down between 15 and 45 minutes, not sure why it changes sometimes, but eventually it goes to sleep and it is obvious, you can hear the main contactor "clunk" open and no more whirring, pump or fan noises. smatthew I am guessing you tried turning off sentry mode...

Along those lines I made "favorites" called "super xxx" with xxx being the location of the supercharger to navigate to. Sometimes when I am in a hurry I like the pre-conditioning and sometimes when I know I am going to take longer at the stop I use the favorite so it won't precondition.

We have had the same issues. The simple things are make sure the foot wells aren't damp/wet, that gets warmed up with air blowing across them and makes the windows fog. Since we ruled that out on ours we leave it set for windshield defrost with a manual fan speed at least 5, that seems to...

Dumb cruise control that can work without sensors. I am so tired of winter driving when we have to stop every 20 minutes to clear the sensors or just give up and drive with my foot. And yes we have tried rain-x and never wet and many others, rain-x seems to help the most, but nothing works in...

So I saw the pack temp at 28F and it was charging the pack at 3.5kW. I wonder at what pack temp it will heat up the pack up before charging from AC at all. According to that article it was below freezing, which my pack was, but still charging at 3.5kW. Maybe I was right at that limit? My...

Jim I am confused, did you open the door and physical start the HVAC and left the door cracked? I also have Scan My Tesla and actually did a similar thing this am. I think the difference may be I have a 2018 SR (single motor). All I did was tell the car to start charging, never opening the...

Yes it will turn the EVSE back on and start drawing power from the wall. Even if was only a 15 a 120 vac outlet it will do this. And the way you have it is best as the battery will already be at your set point so it isn't trying to calculate what it needs to charge the battery and what it...

If your plugged in to grid power (and don't have off peak times set) it will pull the max it can from grid power and if it needs more it will pull from the battery, but once it warms the cabin to the set temp and that heater ramps down it will start adding the battery power back to your battery...

My thoughts exactly. I can change it myself easily enough and if it happened during a snowstorm while out shopping, that wouldn't be fun. Also waiting on the time for a ranger to come and replace even if the car happened to be at home seems silly. I wouldn't want them to waste 5 hours of...

Is it true I can just buy a "spare" or replacement 12v battery from a tesla service center? I looked at the battery swapping procedure and can do that no problem. Our closest service center is 120 miles from here but we are occasionally near there and would like to just get one as a spare...

"Scan My Tesla" was reporting the mid pack at 42F with the pack at about 55% and our car had the snowflake. I will keep watching it and see if at least our car has a common temps it comes on. I know I have seen the pack at 39F with no snowflake, so there must be some other temps or cell...

I have noticed that driving our 2018 M3 in winter the drivers window frost's over below 10F, even with normal cabin heat on. I recently watched a video from Bjorn and he pointed out that his 2018 always frosted up as well, but the 2021 he was testing out didn't frost over and it was -20C out...

Nice! three #4's in a 3/4" = tight :)

I agree with the all of the above and would add the wall connector is likely safer as it is hard wired rather than a physical plug. Granted a 14-50 is pretty solid, but a 14-50 is also not intended to plugged in and unplugged frequently. Basically just adding another failure point, again...

Yes get at least that 6-20 installed asap, it will only get colder for a month or two here. Also leave it plugged in as much as you can. Are you in the UP or down under the bridge? I believe what happens is once you hit a certain temp it starts to try to warm up the battery. These temps...

Way out there, but I imagine the electronics would not like 480 or 277?

I agree that it just backs up, but we are charging at 32 amps from 40% to 70%, maybe 3 hours, it's set for 7a and starts charging at 6p? I don't think so. Also when it is working it tells you on the screen something let set to complete charging at 7a and it didn't do that when I plugged it in...

Mine was intermittent as well, on Monday when I plugged it in it started charging right away, unplugged it and checked and it was set on, so I switched it to all week, hoping that is it, plugged it in and it worked, at least the last 3 days it worked...
