    Supercharger - Quartzsite, AZ - Main Event Lane

    I am here now, can confirm car routed to the other one. This one is better for visiting Terribles. Amazing site!

    Supercharger - Early, TX

    Ah, I didnt really check the cefco, but i checked the lots behind it and didn't notice anything.

    Supercharger - Early, TX

    No sign of construction today! Busy, small lot. I concur it's not a great place for even a 4-stall supercharger..

    Supercharger - Early, TX

    Driving Abilene to Austin on Monday, will scout this one when I pass through.

    Supercharger - Marina del Rey, CA (under construction Jan 2024, 10 stalls)

    Wow i'm here often. This is a much better location than the hotel one, even though its only a short walk away. Though that lot has limited parking and this will take a chunk of it.

    Supercharger - San Antonio, TX - North Loop 1604 East

    Packed full today, 1pm on a Saturday. Had to wait 20sec for someone to pull out.

    Supercharger - Sherman Oaks, CA - Ventura Blvd. (LIVE 13 Dec 2022, 40 V3 stalls)

    10pm you should still be able to get validated at the movie theatre, never had a theatre employee not validate me anywhere. They don't get paid enough to care. 1am or later may have issues though...

    Supercharger - Hollywood, CA (under construction Sep 2023, 32 stalls + diner)

    The diner is finally here! Tesla has submitted an application for a diner and EV charging stations at 7001 Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood (very close to WeHo) THE DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING RESTAURANT AND CONSTRUCTION, USE, AND MAINTENANCE OF A NEW 9,300 SQUARE-FOOT RESTAURANT, DRIVE-IN...

    Supercharger - Los Angeles, CA - Venice Crossroads (LIVE 9 Mar 2023, 44 V3 stalls)

    Stopped by and spotted the famous green barriers.... .... but they are just sealing the pavement surface. Could still be prep for construction?

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Both buttons fell off my yoke almost immediately. Anyone recommend some better sticking method or better tape for staying on the back of the MS yoke?

    S3XY buttons at Abstract Ocean

    Just got these installed! I am loving the fan up/down control. What i would like would be able to share one button for fan up/down. Can the buttons do like double tap or long press for certain features? Maybe something like double tap for down and single for up. Really, if we could do double...

    2021 Refresh Factory Firmware Hold

    I also just got 2021.40.6! Looks like our batch just got pushed together.

    2021 Refresh Factory Firmware Hold

    Just passed 1120 miles on my first road trip. Nothing yet. Team 2021.31.103. Can confirm Refresh MS fits thru a tree.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Wow, quite nice indeed. I am still on 2021.31.103 since Oct 28 waiting for yours. Just checking in on my former waiting compadres here, keep the faith! The car exists. A few folks checked mine out while parked at Kettleman today as we are still a bit of a rare breed.

    Wiki Superchargers Visited

    Dirt in the charging connector can also cause this. Worth checking.

    Supercharger - Kettleman City, CA - Bernard Dr. (LIVE, 56 V3 stalls)

    I was also there today a little later than the above poster and caught the workers removing the chain link fencing. One of them said it would be on for thanksgiving weekend.

    2021 Refresh Factory Firmware Hold

    Well, we are a bit different , (OP and I) just took delivery Oct 28+29, which is just over 2 weeks old. Since you say you haven't driven it much until Oct 19 -- I wonder if it's not just time based, if it's also mileage or number of trips based. That would actually make a lot of sense from...

    Supercharger - Santa Monica, CA (LIVE 18 Feb 2022, 62 V3 stalls)

    The temporary SCs were open today and on the in car nav. Attendant stated I could charge for 30 mins max.

    Supercharger - Culver City, CA - 11924 Washington Blvd. (LIVE 17 Feb 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    I took a quick walk thru the parking lot today, no signs of construction. Most of the retail stores are un-leased and empty. All the spots look reserved for retail, not sure where the residents park, but they were all full.

    2021 Refresh Factory Firmware Hold

    After searching a bit on the forums i see a lot of folks saying 4 ish weeks. A bit annoying.
  21. benh57

    Supercharger - Ladera Heights, CA (permit filed, 12 V3 stalls)

    Missed this one! Right by my place, too. Will be good for reducing load on Culver City. Hopefully they will put it in the center of the lot (usually center in front of CVS is relatively few cars) and not back behind the complex which seems a bit sketchy to me.

    I'm also on 2021.31.103, waiting since 10/28. When did you take delivery? Nothing pending yet...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    I've had my car for ~4 days now but i'm addicted to this thread. Anyway, here's a few pics to tide y'all over. Also I learned why it was delayed a week since they left the card -- kicked back twice due to Paint! Seam on frunk is a bit mis aligned. May be able to fix it myself. It does seem...

    Supercharger - Hermosa Beach, CA (LIVE 9 Jun 2020, 20 V3 stalls)

    Tesla is selling 1M cars per year and Hermosa has a high percentage of affluent apartment dwellers, a lot of them in the buildings just north of these charrgers... I imagine this will be filled up often in a year or two.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Took delivery Thursday, Oct 28 at 5pm! I had an appt for Friday but they told me Thurs was available so i took it. In the car was a white card indicating they kicked it back for Paint issues on Oct 23. Car is of course amazing. I noticed no quality issues but haven't had enough time for a full...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Well, they delayed me -- tentatively for Friday 10/29 now (but they will ping me if it comes earlier, sounds like that does happen sometimes from this thread...) Man, getting a Tesla is like the cheese on a string, they keep pulling it away. So, i could still use a ride over perhaps if you are...

    Delivery appt scheduled for 1PM Sunday @ MDR! @Ryanflynn wanna give me a ride from Westchester? :D

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Also got a VIN today! MF and EDD narrowed to Oct 22-30. Making nov 2 is looking promising.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    RN1149 -- Interesting update on my order today and it looks like another person above had it as well. Last night i was Oct 17->Nov 11, today I am Oct 19-> Nov 2. Hopefully, this means Tesla is going to be trying to get folks 'on the cusp' of the CA Clean Fuel reward decrease (Nov 2nd) their...

    $1,500 California Clean Fuel Reward

    Ugh. I'm fully paid up (since i barely lost a car at eoq) with an EDD of Oct 13 -> Nov 10, i wonder if Tesla will notice and hit me for the extra $750 if it doesn't make 11/1..
  31. benh57

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Encouraging to see a fellow 1149 taking delivery though. I am holding now at Oct 13-Nov 10, no VIN yet. SA is oddly optimistic that I will see a car soon.
  32. benh57

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Still holding steady at Oct 7-27. Gonna let Tesla keep the cash I has paid in hopes it gets me prioritized, SA thinks it will.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Welp, my old vin is gone and i show Feb now. Maybe it is the Feb that means ‘VIN imminent’
  34. benh57

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Yikes. Your order date, and config is very similar to mine. You're lucky you didn't pay yet. My SA says i will be 'head of the line' now though, especially since i've paid already. Maybe that will prevent me from being re-scheduled to Feb?

    DISASTER Had my VIN, was asked to submit final payment, did so, Loan check on my VIN 5YJSA1E59MF447353 was fedexed overnight from DCU in MA to Tesla, insurance was set up using 5YJSA1E59MF447353... .. and I get a call from my SA saying my VIN had a 'build issue' and i'll be getting a new VIN...

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Heyo, i woke up today to a VIN! No delivery appt or MVPA yet, just asked my SA if he could generate the docs so i can finalize loan.

    Congrats! Things happen fast when they happen! So, poster above who ‘doesn’t expect it in the next 4 days’ I wouldn’t be so sure.

    Supercharger - Bakersfield, CA - Copus Rd. (LIVE, 20 V3 stalls)

    A truck stop is coming here, as mentioned earlier in the thread. Easy to miss though.

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Team eoq push checking in, edd goes forward 2 days every 2 days. Scared by the reports of sudden jumps to December. Sep 24-30 for me still. Tbh October would be fine by me. If it pops up Friday or Sat/Sun at this point getting the loan finalized will be a scramble for sure. Hoping to attempt...

    Supercharger - Culver City, CA - Washington Boulevard (LIVE 23 Nov 2021, 8 V3 stalls)

    $2 for first hour, goes up $1 for each additional hour. I think that went to like 5-6 hours, forget exact max.
  43. benh57

    2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

    Mine had the same move today. Sep 22-30 to 24-30. Maybe we’re in same SoCal batch.

    Supercharger - Culver City, CA - Washington Boulevard (LIVE 23 Nov 2021, 8 V3 stalls)

    More pics. This isn't a great spot for a charger IMO -- it's right at the bend in a tiny structure, Teslas pulling into the spots will back up traffic flow on a very small tight corner for everyone getting to higher levels of the structure.
  45. benh57

    Supercharger - Culver City, CA - Washington Boulevard (LIVE 23 Nov 2021, 8 V3 stalls)

    Confirmed construction underway! V3 chargers on second floor. This is a paid parking structure. I see 7 pedestals but only 5 spots marked on the ground currently. Will post a few more pics in a bit.

    Longshot anyone on here see or own the Model 3 in San Francisco with the Plate BatMobile?
