    taking long time to turn on / start up: 2013 Model S 60

    I had this happening when I had MCU1, in my 2013 S85. My workaround was to turn off the Energy Savings in the settings. Because I don't drive the car every day, I usually left the Energy Savings on, and just turned it off during road trips, or other occasions. Since then, I got the MCU2...

    Supercharger - Altoona, IA

    True... not much around. Luckily, the Kum & Go is a new, nice location, with some seating. Google Maps Google Maps (and an Anytime Fitness across the street, to work off those Cinnamon Rolls ;) )

    Supercharger - Altoona, IA

    Things are looking promising for the planned Supercharger in Altoona, IA. I did a quick search of the city permits, and found an entry from 11/26/18: "KUM & GO - TESLA CHARGING STATION" Address: 1430 1st Ave N, Altoona, IA Google Maps Link: Permit Reports | City of Altoona, Iowa Go to...

    Using TM-Spy to see Model S data.

    I have similar car info to Benjamin: 3 years old, 38.7k miles, Original B battery. Pack 71.5. (voltage cell spread of 5mV) Interestingly today, when I plugged in, the car's rated range jumped pretty quickly from 189, to 193, as we had a cool night last night, however, the pack reading...

    Using TM-Spy to see Model S data.

    Just got version 0.0.1 up and running on my iPhone 6! Thanks to Gary for the LE Link Suggestion... ChrisTX for the cable, and of course, Turbo3 for the stellar coding you're doing! I am guessing this pack value (72.8) is a better indicator of degradation than the Rated Miles. And dang it...

    Installed a Charger Meter for under $20

    For what it’s worth, I had a few notes regarding charging efficiency. I use a Blink EVSE that is capped at 24 amps. At the end of each charging session, it shows the kWh used, and then I compared it to the kWh added to the battery (as reported by the Remote S app). Below are my results...

    Supercharger - Albuquerque NM

    Yep, I experienced the 40amp cap as well when I passed through Winrock about 6 weeks ago. Picture attached to give others an idea of the power to expect. There was another forum member who got a higher rate of current than I did on the same day. So I don't know if they throttled it down...

    Scottsdale to Syracuse, NY via Flagstaff to Blanding

    As an added data point, although I didn't go all the way to Blanding, I did just go from Flagstaff to Bluff for a rafting trip. My rated miles were 217 with 2 adults and 100 lbs payload. If you need more juice in Bluff, as mentioned earlier, try the Cottonwood RV park, and go eat at the...

    CHAdeMO Make/Model Review — Using with a Tesla

    Hello all! I just wanted to contribute to the CHAdeMO thread with my early results. Last week I tried out a Nissan station (Pinnacle Nissan) in Scottsdale. It worked like a charm, but only gave about 14kW. I didn't post because unfortunately I didn't get the charger specs, other than the...

    Teslas in Movies & TV

    Here's my first attempt at posting a screen grab from that episode. The exchange about the charge port is pretty funny, but it was great exposure for the S. It's Season 4, Episode 3 @ about 28 minutes. (Revenge : Ashes | Season 4 Episode 3 Watch Full Episode - ABC.com)

    It IS possible to charge at 24A from a 120V TT-30 plug...

    I'm VIN 3340, with a B Battery, and get the same results. The owner at Point of Rocks Campground in Prescott, AZ likes the idea of electric cars, but only has a couple 50 amps available, so I settled for a 30 amp just so I could test out my TT-30, since it wasn't too urgent. In the name of...

    It IS possible to charge at 24A from a 120V TT-30 plug...

    Yesterday, I was up at Watson Lake, AZ, and tried out my TT-30 to 14-50 adapter for the first time. I also hit the 20A cap. (Occasionally it would hover above and hit 21A.) Have we determined it's the newer VIN chargers, or is there a possibility it's newer UMC's that allow the higher limit?

    Undesired reset to 30 Amps

    The 40 amp limit is proper for your UMC, and a 50 amp circuit. You want the Tesla to pull a max of 80% of the circuit. (So a 30 amp dryer circuit, you would pull 24 maximum). As for your 30 amp decrease, it sounds like you might have some fluctuating voltage. As a safety precaution, the...

    Filter by Hotels with PlugShare

    Just tried the iPhone app, and it works now to filter just hotels. When you're in the map mode, just tap the Search (magnifying glass) in the top right. You'll be presented with "Everything, Hotels, Food" as filter options. Select Hotels, and voila! Great addition indeed!

    Volta public chargers

    I've charged at the Quarter south garage, and got 32A/199V=19mph. A couple other Volta's I've tried in the valley are Shea/Tatum by Einstein Bagels (32A/204V=20mph), and Ahwatukee Foothills Towne Center... I-10/Ray Rd (31A/235V=21mph) [pic attached of this one] There's also one at Arrowhead...

    Supercharger - Kingman, AZ

    Just completed my Phoenix to Vegas drive today. And a first visit to a Supercharger! Wow. Even though I've seen all the charging stats posted on the forum, there's nothing like seeing all those stats on your own screen! I was the only one there and was happy (understatement) to see 120 kW...

    Supercharger - Las Vegas, NV - Bridger Ave.

    I was just there tonight actually, and was pleased to see that they have not only have 2 in the North garage, but another 2 in the South garage. It was a busy night there. All 4 spots were full. (Volt, plug-in Ford Fusion, and a Leaf were charging… one Beemer was ICEing) These Volta units...

    Arizona Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    awesome… good luck. I'm sure many Phoenicians will be watching for your stats. I'll be doing the drive next month, but in an S85, so the crucial point will be at Dazzo's, and I'll need to know if I need a maint charge to make it to Kingman from there. Also, I'm curious to know how your...

    Supercharger - Kingman, AZ

    Nicely done Paul! I will be doing this drive also in about a month… wish me luck in getting to Kingman! :) I'm considering Dazzo's RV park in Wikieup as a backup. If anyone has the opportunity, I'd love to know how many rated miles it takes from Dazzo's to the Kingman supercharger.

    Nice find, Bareyb! I just added it. Not only does it have the clock, I like the Stocks and Weather pages too. (it looks like the news one isn't loading right now)
