Over 30,000 miles and have yet to get pulled over about it. I'm sure if I ever do get pulled over they'll say something about it but until then I'm leaving it off.

That Advanced Data Technology trailer was at the Supercharger expansion here in North Aurora so it's pretty much a guarantee that it's Superchargers.

Actually the 30 minute signs were always there with the older chargers.

I'm not a big fan of this. That just puts a lot more wear on your brakes just to feel like your regen braking. I'd rather coast which would save my brakes and also be more energy efficient since you're not losing the energy you used. Noted: I'm not saying you're wrong or that is a dumb idea. If...

Without checking thickness of the cable the only way to tell the difference is the signs beside the chargers. The old ones say general parking is limited to 30 minutes while the new ones don't. Also I just checked the map again while I was driving by and it states that the max charge rate at...

Also they added a separate fenced off area for all the new equipment when they did the install here. It didn't look like they touched the original power equipment.

Hopefully they'll fix it. Like I said though there is nothing visually there yet to indicate which stations are 250kw which if this is your first time there can be a problem.

Sorry, I edited my post after you posted. I checked in navigation and it says that all spots are 150kw. Seems kind of weird for new chargers to be 150KW though. I have a base Model 3 so I can't test if that's true or not since I can only charge up to 120kw. Maybe someone can check. Also I...

Everything is good to go, they're are all open. No visual indicator that the new spots are 250kw though which might get confusing if they are. The in car navigation still shows them all to be 150kw though

They're not live. They're currently still covered

The extra spots should be active soon. They had the bags off one day last week but put them back on. They got the fence around the new power station so not sure how far they're on completing all the hook ups.

Ok, that's a weird spot for a van accessible handicap spot. Does this mean we're getting a Tesla Van soon ;)? It's a new sign and there is plenty of space in between chargers for wheelchair accessibility. Have people converted their Model X for wheelchair access?

Can confirm, they're putting in 8 more stalls at this location.

Looks like new chargers are being installed. Anyone know if they're for EA or is there going to be more Superchargers installed?

Weird mine was quoted at being $214 here in Illinois. I had a tech come and replace it today and supposedly there is a recall on them so it should be fixed for free. The quote is just for Tesla's record or incase it wasn't covered under warranty. Mine was delivered 9/2021 but was part of the...

Yeah when you look at the cover it seems like only the cheap 3D printed like plastic that goes around the metal pole that actuates is not supported by anything. Since the plastic goes around the metal pole the part that connects it to the cover is hollow. So it's easy to see how it can snap so...

I just had this happen. I was trying to use a Volta charger that I guess was not functioning. So I tried pulling the cable in and out a couple times just to make sure I just didn't have the connection seated improperly. The cover came down onto the adapter so I slightly pulled up on it to open...

As a final update, all 12 stations are operational.

Yeah and it seemed like every week they went up like 5 cents which is odd.

Open, I was going to take a picture of the other side where a car was charging but there was someone in the Model X so I skipped it.

Nice, my prediction was right for once. They will probably start this right after they finish the Oswego lot hopefully.

Why not go to the Portillo's while you charge? It's not that far of a walk. Just make sure it's not busy.

Even though this seems to be the quickest way to get navigation to and from set destinations it still requires my input every single time. Since the feature is there to have it automatically handle that function it's kind of annoying that it doesn't work just because I go to work a little early.

If they were red yes but they're orange in my case. I see the red ones when I warm up my car in the morning. I only started seeing the orange ones last week when I'm charging.

I'm having this problem right now and part of me feels like it was due to charging at a supercharger in the rain last night. When I was charging there were 3 orange squiggly lines in the app next to my battery percentage. On my way back to the car I accidently hit the climate short cut in the...

My home and work addresses are already set though which is why it worked on 3rd shift. Unless you're suggesting something else I'm not sure what you mean.

Yeah, I don't really need navigation for home but I thought it was nice to see it automated and would like to see it automated for my "weird" schedule. It would be nice to use this simple feature even if I have to manually put in my work hours in once to get it to understand what's going on...

Which is still weird then because I went to work at 7pm and came home at 4:30am that one week. Wish they allowed to set the time in settings.

I only noticed just last week when I had to work an 8PM-4AM schedule that the car will route you to work and home. Obviously not that huge of a deal considering I know how to get to get to work and home but whenever I leave for work at 3:30AM for my 4AM shift it never pops up. Even now that I'm...

2021 SR+ I find this works best since I don't have a sub. Bass is very sharp and punchy but obviously lacking but vocals and music have great separation. I find nothing to be muddy or drowned out.

Extra bit of detail is that the Oswego Supercharger if it is going to be at the Meijer then it's kind of weird timing since a 2 years ago the Meijer put in 4 Electrify America chargers there but nothing else. At the same time the Naperville Meijer got both EA and Superchargers installed. Kind of...

I've had my car since September and it feels a lot worse in the past month then it did in the initial 5. At the start I thought it was just an issue with the cold or snow. Maybe the road was getting more bumps and pits due to the cold weather. Maybe my tires being low was an issue (they dropped...

Also a good excuse to not run front plates.

I've been hoping this would happen but I have no idea where they'd put it. I guess the aisle closest to Lowes. Otherwise the side of the building by RT 38

Nice, if I ever need to charge but also want to warm up my battery this will be a great alternate option outside of the North Aurora Supercharger and the Naperville one. Can't wait for it to open.

Obviously that wasn't the intended meaning of the statement "no power loss". They probably meant no horsepower loss.

Yeah I told her it was probably just a recall and to follow through. Just didn't hear anything mentioned recently so I didn't know if was an old thing that Tesla finally got around to hitting them up about or what.

My Aunt has a Model Y she picked up in March (not sure if it's 2020 or 2021). She just got this message on her screen. Does this have to do with the same recall? I'm not seeing any other posts about it so it doesn't seem to be a message sent out in mass. Anyone got this before?

The charging curve on the LFP Model 3 I own is really good. It doesn't go below 40Kwh after 80%. It's actually too good because it doesn't give me enough time to have dinner before my car is at 90%+. 2022 models will probably be the same way.

I do regret not subscribing to it for the month just for that drive but it's too late for that. I wouldn't think it's worth it for $10,000 though or constantly paying $200 a month. That's mainly because I have a short daily drive and even on the road trip I felt adaptive was good enough.

I just used adaptive cruise control instead of Autopilot. I went from Chicago to DC and back and it's mainly 2 lane highways. I felt it wasn't worth it since I kept having to change lanes which disengages Autopilot. So I would have to reenable it. Adaptive cruise allowed me to focus less on my...

I drove from DC to Illinois the other week. I drove from DC to Breezewood, PA. Stopped for probably 30 minutes tops to charge and then drove from another 2 hours+ to the next super charger and still it required me to pre condition for 40 minutes. It seems to take a lot to pre condition when it's...

2021.36.5.5 is what I was on when I had my car preheat at work before I went to a charger 5 minutes away. I just got 36.8 today but I'll see if it gets any better.

So now that fall is kicking in and temperatures are getting down into the 40's in the midwest at least how is everything going? Especially for those who don't charge at home how has that situation been for you? I'm noticing it's taking a lot longer to precondition my battery for charge. Even at...

I got it on the 22nd of last month. I was given a pick up date of Saturday the 25th but it was actually available on the 20th at the service center. I had to get a bunch of things ready in a hurry though so it took me 2 days before I was able to pick it up. I've now had it for 2 weeks and it has...

I traded in my 2015 Corolla with 63,000 miles with 1 small dent and what look like a small chunk of clear coat rubbed off from some debris on the road. I got a $11,200 which was a little more then what Carvana and Carmax were offering and I don't have to pay taxes on the sale to boot.

If you bought it through existing inventory then you got LFP. That's the only way to get it.

Just picked up my 21 SR+ LFP today. This is such a gem. This is going to be so much fun.

True it's not a great financial move but in this current market it's not that bad. Right now I have about $4,000 in extra value in my car due to high demand for used cars. If I keep it and don't get a new car that $11,000 in value will disappear eventually. By next year my Corolla might only be...

I still have an order for December-January on an order I placed at the end of July. It's blue with 19in rims so I didn't even get in the long white paint line.
