    CCS Adapter for North America

    Thanks everybody for your replies! I should have checked the plugshare locations near me more carefully. There's a dealership nearby that should have reasonably fast charging, and I'll check my plug when it arrives! We like to do long roadtrips to see our adult children, etc. and if the CCS...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    P.S. Here in my Baltimore suburb, I'm thankfully surrounded with lots of free charging with the J-1772 standard. I've had my Tesla for over a year and have essentially never charged at home. Free charging at work and at the Starbucks I like to go to. Still, where are the CCS stations going...

    CCS Adapter for North America

    It is and thanks for you all finding them. The ones you've identified are mostly car dealerships nearby, which is better than nothing. Most won't let you charge w/out being in the car; however, that's better than nothing.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Said near my home, not in Baltimore area.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Indeed I did try plugshare, exactly as you suggest. And I also tried it for the destination I'd like to go about 1000 miles away. No CCS chargers near me or there, but didn't check in between.

    CCS Adapter for North America

    Happily ordered the CCS adapter. I'm sure that I could decipher posts in this thread to answer the question I'm about to pose; however, I'd like to know how prevalent are CCS chargers in the US? Based on my quick search for ones near my home, the answer is not very prevalent. Will this change...

    No camping in your car.

    I was told that some states, such as PA, have laws on the books that prevent car camping that were enacted before there were EVs. Of course, you'd want to prevent people from camping in an ICE car and using AC, but PA, evidently, hasn't kept up with the times. I didn't have any issues in VA...

    No camping in your car.

    I forgot to say that space was pretty tight in my Model 3 camping experience. I did this experiment when my wife was traveling. There was (barely) enough room for me and my dog. It wouldn't have worked for 2 adults. I somewhat regret not getting a Model Y for this reason, although we don't...

    No camping in your car.

    This happened to me at KOV campsite in PA. I had reserved it and prepaid. They told me it was state law. When I asked to get my money back, they called the owner to make an exception for me. I was testing out camping in my Model 3 with my dog. If I had to bail, fortunately I was just a...

    Problems using RV camper sites?

    I just got back from a one night stay at a KOA in PA. The wife was away and I wanted to see how “camping mode” would work for me and my dog, sleeping inside my Model 3. It ended up being fine and not too cramped for the dog and me. Certainly more room than business class lay-flat seating on...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    Happy to say that a week after I called them to complain about how long things were taking for me everything has been taken care of. My utility company gave me the PTO today. Tesla didn't know this when I called them right after getting the email. Still, I was not on hold very long and they...

    How long between inspection and PTO? [various areas]

    Here in MD my installation/inspection was completed in mid-June. Nothing was happening. I called Tesla on Monday this week (8 weeks later) to complain and they said there was nothing they could do. Well, could be a coincidence, but on Tuesday got an email from utility saying that they got the...

    One Year post-PTO Solar Roof in MD

    Thanks for your reply. Tesla hasn't submitted anything to BGE and it's been almost 2 months. Not happy about that. Have called them a couple of times. They say that in the contract I signed it says PTO can take up to 90 days. I tell them that I didn't "read the fine print" and might not...

    One Year post-PTO Solar Roof in MD

    I'm in Maryland and have been waiting for about 2 months for PTO. wjgjr was your extremely long PTO due in part to the COVID lockdown starting right after your installation? Not happy with my wait so far and I hope I don't have to wait 4 months or so like you did!

    PTO finally approved but Tesla App not working

    How long did it take for PTO? I'm at about 7 weeks, which I think really is unacceptable.

    Using a Credit Card or Paypal to pay for Tesla Solar

    Can't believe how long it takes for PTO. Seems like they accept your payment and then take forever to send paperwork to your utility company. Disappointing!! I don't have power walls. Here in Maryland they aren't cost effective since we have few power outages and good net metering policies.

    Did this delay your permission to turn on the system?

    Using a Credit Card or Paypal to pay for Tesla Solar

    It has been 2 weeks since I paid in full using a credit card for my solar installation and I am still getting emails and texts saying that final payment is due. This is annoying and I called about this a couple of days ago and thought things would be resolved so that I do not continue getting...

    Amazon Echo Auto - Sirius XM

    Both calls and texts function as if there were no Echo. So, for instance, you answer incoming calls using the car (and listen through car speakers)...

    It also works well for playing Apple music if you link your Apple music account to your alexa account.

    Using a Credit Card or Paypal to pay for Tesla Solar

    My system is much smaller. Only about $7.5 for a 4.1kW system here in Maryland. I'm hoping it will cover about 2/3 of our electricity. Wanted to get 8.2kW but the plan they had for us was to put almost half of the panels on the north side of the house which also has big time shade issues...

    Using a Credit Card or Paypal to pay for Tesla Solar

    Just used credit card using the 873.973.7652. Eventually worked. First time call was disconnected while representative was putting me on hold prior to getting my card number. Had been on hold for 60+ minutes and so not happy. Called again and waited another 60+ min but it worked. Happy to...
