    Wiki FSD’s Earliest Adopters Still Waiting

    Just started installing FSD supervised on my 2016 Model X.

    Supercharger - Sisters, OR (under construction Jan 2024, 8 V3 stalls)

    Would be interested if FSD's parking feature can get you within charging distance on it's own.

    Signature Model X battery and range concerns in Oregon

    Unfortunately the older cars still have the simplified energy screen and do not have the detailed analysis the newer cars have access too(even with the MCU upgrade). Something similar can be found in the phone App though it's hidden(Select 'Service->Vehicle Range->Range Analysis->Vehicle...

    Ancillary fees and taxes if purchasing from teslas Out of State“Used Inventory” ? Oregon specific details to be aware of?

    With a bit of "Google-Fu" I found this link to the state of Washington's web site(Exempt vehicle sales | Washington Department of Revenue) which states that vehicle sales to out of state parties are exempt from WA sales tax. I urge you however to do your OWN research to understand what you need...

    Looks like it is pending final electrical inspection.

    How to confirm if this 2016 MX includes FSD?

    2016 is when FSD(hardware) known as hardware 2 was released. Cars produced in the later part of the year are capable of having FSD. My 2016 model X has FSD. I did purchase the upgrade to MCU2 and have had the camera upgrade done as well. As for the car in question the included screenshots would...

    Supercharger - Coos Bay, OR (LIVE 25 Oct 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    Supercharger Voting is live again and Florence OR is currently sitting at #5 nationally. Going off the previous round winners the top 5 sites get pursued for construction, so there is a good chance we can get a SC in Florence. Additionally Packwood WA has moved into the #8 spot. I figure if we...

    Is CCS type 1 combo adaptor selling in Aliexprees OK to use?

    Look at it this way - you are trying to save $100 by getting a cheap knockoff adapter that might damage your $50,000 to $80,000 car. Not to mention the risk of being help responsible for possible damage to a $50,000 to $250,000 DC fast charger. Make your own decisions, but that seems a very...

    Supercharger - Coos Bay, OR (LIVE 25 Oct 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    It’s been a few weeks since the last update, and I was in the area. Looks like the work on Bennett has been done, at least the cones are all gone. Cabinets are on site but not set. Looks like it's still several weeks out. Grabbed some pictures.

    Excessive supercharging voids warranty?

    As far as unlimited supercharging is concerned, please remember those that have it, paid exorbitant prices for their vehicles at a time when Tesla was a niche automaker. They essentially bank rolled the build out of the supercharger network and the development of the newer more affordable cars...

    Oregon Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    I think you are actually missing the central point of my original post entirely. Florence is currently one of 6 potential SC locations in the PNW that you can currently vote for. The Florence SC location is the only one within the top 10 and the only one with a reasonable chance of taking one of...

    Excessive supercharging voids warranty?

    It really depends, at least for me, on what I'm doing in the kitchen. If I'm cooking it's the wild west in there. A pinch of this a handful of that. What do we have in the crisper drawer that needs to get used up? If I'm baking I get out a scale and consult the hygrometer, cause baking is...

    Excessive supercharging voids warranty?

    Let the war rage. Are you not entertained! Actually I was stationed in Europe so I can flip back and forth pretty easily. While over there I would get asked why Americans persist with imperial and I would always tell them it's because metric has no correlative for feet and inches, and that...

    The original S's & X's have a warranty period of time but no cap on mileage (?kilometerage?).

    Oregon Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Please see in Sig the ----> 2016 Model X. There are still a fair few of the older vehicles running around. New EPA range was only 257mi (downhill, with the wind at your back). With reasonable degradation, and following the 80% 10% guideline, the real world range of older gen cars is around...

    Supercharger - McDermitt, NV

    Tesla's twitter feed had a picture of cars charging so I would guess that's pretty official. Tabot Tietjen's post has a copy of it.

    Supercharger - Coos Bay, OR (LIVE 25 Oct 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    That EA charger is now marked as open, so there is a place to get a charge while we wait for the Supercharger to get built.

    Supercharger - Clackamas, OR (LIVE Jul 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    It's been posted in several different threads that there appears to be a national transformer shortage/backlog that has several sites sitting idle but otherwise complete. See below link for more details. Post by MrBrock in Newport Thread

    Supercharger - Coos Bay, OR (LIVE 25 Oct 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    Stopped on my way though and took some pics of the proposed spaces. I think the previous pictures are a different area of the parking lot. There were no dig markings so I’m guessing this is a long ways off still. The new EA station on the north end of town looked like it was just about ready...

    Looking for Hansshow Power Trunk and Frunk installer around Seattle

    YouTube has instructional videos of people installing them. When I installed the Autofrunk on my Model X I found those vidos more helpful than the actual instructions. Took me about 2 hours start to finish and it was reasonably easy. Recommend a power screwdriver as there are alot of fasteners...

    Supercharger - Ashland, OR (LIVE 1 Sep 2023, 24 V3 stalls)

    The Plaza hotel in Ashland has destination chargers on the lower level of the parking garage, though depending on what vehicle your driving it's a bit tight getting down to them. I took my Model X down and honestly was wondering if I would need baby oil and a shoe horn to get back out. A model 3...

    Is there a way to get notified of new Super Chargers opening?

    You can also use the map in the Tesla app under Location. By zooming out and scrolling around you can see the status of superchargers. Additionally superchargers will show their operational status 10/10 or 7/10 etc, in the Tesla app before they are updated in your in car navigation or on the...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    I charged at the Springfield SC on 1/6 and it seemed all the stalls were functional(I didn't check each myself but there were cars coming and going and nobody plugged in and then immediately switched to a different stall). Additionally the SC north of Springfield by the Harrisburg exit for I5 is...

    EV sales service center coming to Vancouver WA.

    When I made the post it was12/12, I went back and added the screen shot later (post time vs time shown in screen shot). Then thought to change the text 1 min later and was told by the system there is an hour time limit to edit posts. Kinda had to roll with it at that point. 😁

    EV sales service center coming to Vancouver WA.

    Just checked in the Tesla App and the chargers are listed as 12/12 available. Should be able to charge here.

    EV sales service center coming to Vancouver WA.

    There was no barrier in the parking lot when I was there on the 2nd. I have since travelled home and can't run by to check to see if anything has changed.

    EV sales service center coming to Vancouver WA.

    Don't know if it's significant but I noticed when I was there that the posted temporary occupancy notice expires on Jan 9th.

    2016 S60D Battery Upgrade to 75D

    I’m not sure that’s accurate. Tesla manufactured several different pack sizes including a 60 kWh battery for the model S from 2012 to 2016. And with Teslas manufacturing technique of ‘we switch to new parts when we run out of the old part’ it’s hard to know exactly what parts are present on a...

    2016 S60D Battery Upgrade to 75D

    If I remember correctly some 60 kWh cars were manufactured with the 75 kWh battery then software limited to 60 kWh. When people ‘upgraded’ the battery in these cars the physical battery did not charge, only the software restriction was removed(for a fee, of course). If the service center is...

    EV sales service center coming to Vancouver WA.

    Supercharger Voting Round 2

    There is a place on the voting site where you can suggest voting sites for the next round of voting. Additionally I know that the City Council of Coos Bay OR wanted to get a supercharger and approached Tesla with a city owned site. The site is now listed as "Coming Soon" on the Tesla Find Us...

    Supercharger - Creswell, OR

    Drove by the site on Wed 21st and site is not open. Didn't bother with pics as the site looks identical to previous pics in thread, though most of the site was Iced with pickup trucks when I was there. I can see that being a problem going forward at this location.
