On the Supercharger Voting page: ttps://www.tesla.com/supercharger-voting?v=2 the gray icon is for "Coming soon Supercharger locations" (click the Legend button in the lower-left corner). Note that this is different than the regular Supercharger map -- on that map the gray icon is for...

Me too. I have mine set to only charge my VIN number, but I did that by talking to the Wall Connector directly in 2021 when I installed it. My Wall Connector is outside, so limiting the VIN number is important. I really wanted to do that via the App going forward since the process to talk...

Thanks! Would an actual permit be filed with EpicLA, or somewhere else? Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow | no FSD | made/delivered Oct 2021

The link in Post #1 still has the tag in EpicLA: Plan Number: RPAP2022011284 Parcel Number: 3251013054 49771 Gorman Post Road , Lebec, CA, 93243 And the PDF link from the one stop notes that occurred on Feb 14 is on this page...

Here is a "before" picture for the new superchargers destined for Vasco Plaza in Livermore: Scott -- 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range, red/white, tow

The SuperChargers don't have power -- I opened my charge point using my screen. Since the SuperChargers didn't have power, I wanted to see what my car said. See screen photo above. My car knew that something was plugged in, but there was no communication. Zooming-in on one of my photos shows...

As of June 9, they were not operational yet. But they certainly do look nice! :cool: The chargers are in the shopping center on the south side of Jack London Blvd (i.e. not in the Outlet Center). Next to See's Candies on the far eastern edge of that shopping center. I did plug...

Below is the table from Tirerack for the Bridgestone Turanza EZ. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?message=singleSize&tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Turanza+EV&cameFrom=selectOE&partnum=545WR9TEVXL The UTQC isn't listed on the TireRack web page for some reason, but I've seen other...

Here is a cross post to the thread for how to open the frunk with a small battery when the 12V lead-acid battery dies: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/12v-battery-failure-unable-to-access-frunk.241339/page-2 The thread also contains a lively discussion of alkaline or lithium. Post #23...

I would hope that Tesla has already addressed the transformer issue (i.e. sitting in a Tesla warehouse somewhere) and just needs a high voltage cable from PG&E. It would be really cool if Tesla got their 32 SuperChargers operational before those EVgo units. :cool: I drove by that EVgo...

Jack London has been updated on the Tesla map. Is says Q3 2023 and this seems to be consistent with the rate of progress on the construction. Scott -- 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range, red/white, tow

On a related note, here is the pointer to the Vasco Road, Livermore, supercharger bank now in the planning stages: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supercharger-livermore-ca-vasco-plaza-permit-found-32-stalls.302773/ Scott -- 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range, red/white, tow

It is a good location just before the climb over the Altamont Pass; near the corner of Vasco Road and I-580. The next closest SuperCharger bank is in Tracy and that might be a tad far for folks near empty and wanting some piece-of-mind. This location might also be easier to get to than the...

Here is the latest status as of Friday May 12. There are 16 superchargers at the facility. The 16th is off to the right in this photo. Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow | no FSD | made/delivered Oct 2021

California is doing well on the SuperCharger voting page: https://www.tesla.com/supercharger-voting?v=2 Several of the pins are in the hills or before a hill climb. The pin in Livermore (east of San Francisco) is just before the climb over the 1009-foot Altamont Pass. Scott -- 2021...

The SuperCharger map has been updated and says Q2 2023 for the Jack London dot. Gee, it is Q2, has anybody seen any construction there? Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow | no FSD | made/delivered Oct 2021

The Q2 Tesla supercharger voting is now open: https://www.tesla.com/supercharger-voting?v=2 There aren't very many choices this quarter. There is a pin in a great spot just before the climb over the Altamont Pass on the interstate: Scott -- 2021 Tesla Model Y Long Range, red/white, tow

Well, they are down again. I took some photos this time: Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow | no FSD | made/delivered Oct 2021

The jack-stands aren't on the pucks. The floor-jack lifts the car on the pucks, and the jack-stands go under by the wheels. When I had 3 wheels on the jack-stands, the diagonal raised off of the jack-stand by about an inch (so, it was only on 2 jack stands before I started to raise the 4th...

Thanks. 255/55R18 tires are 29.04" diameter so I am upgrading to those tires+wheels once my existing factory tires are out of tread. Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow | no FSD | made/delivered Oct 2021

At 10,000 and 20,000 miles, I had taken my 2021 MYLR car to Americas Tire for rotations. I just passed 30,000 and mentioned to my teenage son that I'd go get the tires rotated. But he surprised me and said, "Hey dad, why don't we rotate the tires ourselves?". I already had everything...

Update: these superchargers are showing as being available again. So they appear to have been off-line for about a day. The screen in my Tesla showed a gray dot instead of the usual red dot with a number in it. Regret not taking a photo... Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5...

The SuperChargers at the hotel are unavailable. They show as a gray circle on the Tesla screen last night and this morning. I drove by and there were no vehicles (which is rare) but didn't try to test them. No work trucks were present and each station had its red Tesla illuminated and the...

Yep, my mistake based on the initial reports. The newest version that supports CCS+NACS is the magic dock with 1 cable and the semi-captive CCS adapter. The Livermore Vasco road pin is doing well in the Tesla voting, so hopefully between that and the Jack London we'll actually get a new...

update: the new MagicDock has 1 cable. Looks like a nice design. I hope that the Jack London Blvd. site gets it. Federal dollars are specified for a 1-mile distance from the interstate and the Jack London Blvd. site is indeed within those guidelines. Additionally, the Tesla world-wide...

Before you mount it, please check to see if it will fit in the frunk or the under-trunk? This is what is holding me back on getting a spare. I really want one but even a Modern Spare is too large to put anywhere -- well, except that chobra put his in the back seat :cool: Thanks, Scott --...

I saw it referenced from this blurb 7 months ago: https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/862/details-leak-about-tesla-s-upcoming-v4-superchargers Regardless, folks could also vote for that pin on the Tesla voting page on the east side of Livermore. Putting something there before the Altamont seems...

Any indication if these will be Version 4 (Tesla + CCS cables) ? I'm also hoping that folks vote for that pin on the SuperCharging voting map (post #10). Livermore really needs something on the east side of town. Thanks, Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow | no FSD |...

Since the proposed SuperChargers for Jack London Blvd. appear to be delayed, I just voted in this quarter's voting for the Livermore pin (on I-580) out near LLNL. This should benefit folks on the east side of Livermore and help with commuting just before the Altamont Pass...

People have reported seeing differences because of the covers. Rimetrix (the wheel cover folks) looked at milage differences between the Tesla Gemini covers and their covers (which I own). Likewise, the tire itself also makes a difference (as does tire pressure). The difference between 330...

This thread has a discussion on ordering and part numbers for the comfort suspension parts: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/new-comfort-suspension-switch-over-dates.284493/ Most folks seem to be reporting that parts are listed in the catalog, may or may not be available, and not as a...

According to the Model Y manual, here are the OEM sizes: Tire Size Location Size 19" Front/Rear 255/45R19 XL 20" Front/Rear 255/40R20 XL 21" Front 255/35R21 XL 21" Rear 275/35R21 XL Wheel Diameter Location Width (in) Offset (mm) 19" Front/Rear 9.5 45 20" Front/Rear 9.5 45...

This kind, with the roller belt, works fine for me: This kind, with the conveyor belt, is what I have problems with: I've tried it twice now and had problems both times. Mister Car Wash, Turlock, California, Monte Vista Avenue (across from the university). The roller belt pushes the...

Do any of the PIAA owners have an update about their long-term experiences? I'm asking because the FarmProject guy reviewed wipers; both new and after 12 months. He liked the PIAA, but he liked the Bosch Icon ones better. The Bosch Icon's do fit on Tesla Model Y: 19OE and 26OE, get the...

For protector, I use GYEON Quartz LeatherShield : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N57S9O6 For cleaner, I use Chemical Guys Speed Wipe : ttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FALVU9Y and a microfiber cloth. I do the Gyeon every six months and I'm still on my first kit. I have white seats...

You may need to put a check in the check-box as shown in Post #9. Those check-boxes are a new feature and only some of them are checked by default. Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow | no FSD | made/delivered Oct 2021

As a follow-up to a previous message (my post #11). I went through a conveyer-belt style car wash this morning instead of my usual roller-track style. It literally took 70 seconds to get the process to work. I did my normal process: 1. Car icon 2. Service 3. brake 4. Car Wash Mode 5...

Thanks to JimmyPo and blecchus_rex for their comments. Like Ted H mentioned, it appears that the Wall Monitor app is the only way to talk to the Wall Connector in the US. I have the free Wall Monitor app on my iPhone from the App Store. It shows voltage, frequency, charge info, and the...

I have 22.41.2 and I am using the Wall Monitor app. According to the Wall Monitor app, it says 231 Volts at 59.93 Hertz. Voltage appears to fluctuate by 1 Volt and Hertz by 0.05 Hertz. My Fluke says that is it 241 Volts (unloaded measurement; not drawing any current at the time of the...

It is January 2023 and I don't seem to be able to add my Gen 3 Wall Connector to my Tesla App on my iPhone My App is version 4.16.1-1536. According to reports several months ago, the process is supposed to be: Launch the Tesla App Profile (the face outline in the upper-right corner)...

The gray SuperCharger icon on the Tesla map for "coming soon" has disappeared. So either they've pushed it even farther into the future or deleted plans entirely. Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow | no FSD | made/delivered Oct 2021

I wasn't able to get the suction cup to work either. See my Post #94 and #96 for photos of the technique that I use. 100% reliable so far and I've removed all four of them twice now for tire rotations (at 10,000 and 20,000 miles). Scott -- MYLR | Red ext | White int | 19" | 5 seats | tow |...

I'm now running 2022.40.4 and we still can't turn off the passenger vent if it is on. If no one is sitting there and the passenger vent is off, I can tap to turn it on. But can't tap to turn it off again. At least the incredibly convoluted multi-step process to fool the system still works...

Yes, multiple shops. The problem, which I now realize, is that I had tried chain shops. The kid behind the counter brings it up on the computer, doesn't see 18-inch listed, and says that it doesn't fit. So I tried a local Mom-and-Pop shop in the next town over. No problem. They said that...

My post in this thread (post #104) shows mine from EVmudflaps. They have been on my car for 11 months now and still are fine. Granted, this is Central California weather; no snow, mud, or salt. They've been through the bristle-brush car-wash 4 dozen times. Yes, they are pricey but they...

I appreciate the advice. However, why don't I just hand someone some money and have them do all of that? I've tried my local shops, they bring up "Tesla Model Y" on their screen, see 19", 20" , 21" as OEM sizes, then say "blah blah blah legal liability blah blah blah" for 18" wheels. I...

I heard back from Tsportline ("Customer Service Team", without an actual name): Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately we do not offer the tire that you are inquiring about. Please consider the options that we offer or you can just purchase the wheels and a set of TPMS sensors. Take them to...

The material value of a "used" battery is about the same as the material value of a "new" battery. The lithium, nickel, manganese, and cobalt are still there. The differential cost is the labor/machines needed to make the battery. This is opposite of ICE engines and transmissions where...

I'm very interested in switching from my 19" Gemini's to 18" to improve the wide quality. To make a difference, a larger sidewall is needed (which an 18" wheel allows). I'm interested in the Tsportline TSR18 wheels in black (which they show with a November ship date). I've sent a message to...

I'll come to the defense of the key fob. I like mine and never wave the card around or dink with my phone. Kudo's to Tesla for providing multiple choices to customers: card, fob, and phone. People can decide which one they like. For always-on phone people, the phone works great. For...
