Up and working well. Crooked Hammock Brewery is your closest bathroom and place for food and drinks. Although it doesn't show during your session the credit card charge does go through later.

These are from several days ago. They expect to finish the primary work this week and it could be within another week that it goes live from what I was told. Also, they were installing the writing for additional chargers to be added later if needed. I'll try to get by there tomorrow or Tuesday...

The last time it went down they had it back up pretty quickly. When I asked the manager at Buc-ee's he said he wasn't sure what happened but the electric company blamed Tesla and Tesla blamed the electric company. He really didn't seem to know.

The permit is now showing a cost of $125,000.

The address on the permit has been updated and it appears to be going exactly where I would have guessed. The location would put it close to shops/restaurants/bathrooms but it has a chance of being ICE'd. Beyond that parking lot is a cemetery so that's going to make for an interesting view...

That definitely caught my attention. It's going to be fun to look back on all of this in 4-5 years.

I thought some may find this interesting. Lex Fridman talks with Andrej Karpathy, the former director of AI at Tesla.

The English replay of their Tech Day is coming up tonight - XPENG - Official Website | XPENG Motors – XPENG (Global)

I'm not sure things are that bad for Telsa but I don't completely disagree with you either. My concern is that Tesla is more concerned with being first rather than being the best. I could definitely see others passing them unless Tesla makes some fundamental changes in its approach over the next...

Welcome to the Grand Strand! We have a decent amount of free chargers in the area and they are rarely unavailable. Check PlugShare to find those locations. If you visit the other outlets, on 501, you'll find free charging there as well.

I think we'll see EA at the Walmarts in the area before too long. I bought the connector recently because EA has chargers in a few of the locations I often travel to but it would be a nice option to have here as well.

I'm one of those people. I sold my home two weeks after getting my M3. I'll be in one of my rental properties until the spring and then we're moving over to a beach condo. We have no charging options on this property and very likely won't at the new condo. We do have several level 2 options in...

You're right about this being a place you travel to rather than through. With the population exploding up here, it's going to be helpful regardless of where they put the SC.

There's definitely a lot of possibilities there. I'm actually charging right now across the road. I'm going to head over there in a few minutes look around. They have plenty of parking but it gets crazy in there during the busier months. Honestly I don't know where I would put the SC up this...

I assume you're not familiar with the area but it's not laid out in a way that makes it very convenient. It's a busy retail location and I'm not sure how they would find an area close to any of those restrooms unless they choose a spot that will definitely struggle with iceing. Additionally, the...

I've pulled it up but right now there isn't any additional information online. I'll go by in the morning and get ideas of where they would likely put the station. Personally I'm not thrilled with what they chose because traffic is terrible around Barefoot and the amenities are not exactly what...

When I asked around a few weeks ago I was told it hasn't been decided. I'll check again. The old mall makes the most sense and there is a substation behind it that makes it even more likely IMO. We refer to it as the "dead mall" but they're planning to make a large section of it for restaurants...

It seems those people will have to wait until next month when the next beta release drops. I'm at 2022.28.2 as well so I'm not thrilled but it is that it is. We'll see what happens after AI Day.

Thanks for the info. And yes I have walk away activated and the phone acts as the key. Honestly this wasn't a big deal but since it was the first time it's happened I thought I would ask here.

I'm not even sure how to answer that. Obviously the alarm would be tripped by the broken window. It may make a little more sense if the window were open and someone were to reach in and open the door. But with someone in the car and later exiting the car it seems odd to me that the alarm would...

Thank you. I assumed it was something simple but I wanted to be sure I understood how it worked. It does seem that car should recognize the door was opened by someone inside.

I'm not sure this is the proper forum and apologize if not. I pulled up to my office and when I went in I turned climate control on for my girlfriend. She had the window cracked and she hung out in the car for about 10 minutes. When she decided to leave the car and come inside she says she did...

Although I've only owned my car for three months I've been watching the Myrtle SC for years and it's rarely busy but lately, that's changed and oddly it should be slower here now with the exception of Labor Day weekend. I have to admit I was wrong when I said they wouldn't add a second SC in...

Coastal's SC is up but it has been very busy lately. BTW, if you didn't see the earlier thread, we're getting a new SC in 2023 in North Myrtle Beach.

My car is showing the mall as full operational.

For the entire station to be down multiple days? I'm still new to the game so I didn't realize that could happen, especially at a SC that is three months old.

It's only 50 miles from me and we've had very little bad weather. I need to get over that way in the next few days so I'll definitely stop in and see if anyone can tell me what happened.

This is probably a dumb question but did you confirm that they're actually down? I've only charged there twice but I've been there 5-6 times and they are always up. I can't imagine what would take them offline that long.

I think that's exactly what he was doing. He seemed very confident that it was going to work and then a little shocked that it didn't. He was likely embarrassed because many of us were watching.

I keep up on all of that but I was surprised that he thought it would work on the SC. He's likely heard all of the talk about it coming and wanted to test it for himself. Personally I would hate having to lug that adapter around but I'm sure most wouldn't mind if that actually gave them access...

For the first time in the two years of watching my local SC it was full when I arrived. It quickly had my thinking about what it will be like having other EVs there as well. Within minutes it happened. This was the SC in Myrtle Beach, SC and I'm not sure why this guy thought it would work for...

I have a contact at the electric company and I'll check with them as well. The mall just makes more sense to me. Now what I'm really curious about is how many actual chargers they'll go with.

If I had to guess I would expect it to be at one of these two locations: Myrtle Beach Mall - 10177 N Kings Hwy, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572 Coastal North Town Center - Starwatch Dr, North Myrtle Beach, SC 29582 Both have ample parking and a lot of amenities. The mall may make more sense but it's...

Yes, I definitely will and Horry County will likely have the most information, especially online. I was just looking at the site you shared and I've used it before to reach out to them about adding chargers in the area. They've been quick to respond in the past so maybe I'll get something from...

Nice find! That's where I live so I'm all over this! It was very needed here and will be huge news for Tesla owners in this area and tourists.

It was listed on mine earlier and now it's not. Just to be clear you want to turn right at the entrance to Home Goods and Staples. Only two of us charging now. Edit: It's not showing the pricing but my account was charged.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I got excited when I noticed this thread because I don't often eat fast food but I do love Del Taco, which is on Harbison as well. Any time I come through that area I grab a bite there and this will give me another excuse to stop. :)

Most of the fees will be exactly the same for those of us in South Carolina so mine is the same as yours except I paid $678 in property taxes in Horry County.

Seimens makes a sizeable investment in Electrify America. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/seimens-invests-in-electrify-america-valuing-charging-network-at-2-45-billion/

I guess the real problem for me is I don't know what games should be there so I shouldn't have suggested they are missing. For example, I've always heard about Centipede, is that a current game? I was in a Model 3 two months ago that had Centipede and Missle Command, I don't have either of those.

No, they do not require one but you can use a controller.

Mine are the charge only ports so that may explain it but I do have a couple of games that work with the controller through the glovebox.

I've noticed my car only has a small number of games and not any of the classics that I've always read about. I did find some older threads from Dec/Jan that talked about having to get a software push if you don't have all of the games.

I bought the same console charger insert, the "Topfit for Tesla 2021 2022 USB LED Hub Compatible Docking Station of Center Console Smart Sensor(2021 Model 3 /Y)". It does fit great and looks really good. The only concern I have is I tried a PS4 controller with the data port and the car didn't...

Kroger is partnering with Volta to expand their chargers at supermarkets in several states: Kroger, the US's largest supermarket chain, is adding more level 2 and 3 EV chargers

It could be nothing more than getting the proper approval from those governments.

Yep, I just noticed it when I picked up in Charlotte on Sunday.

Hopefully he can have a family member or friend go over and give it a good look. Not the same as the owner doing it but it's better than waiting until he gets back. And no, they don't care about his situation.

I was thinking about something we could all do as you wait for the cars to be delivered and that would be to reach out to local businesses and as well city governments and inquire about their current EV charging options and their future plans. There are forms online that can you forward but...

As others have mentioned, I appreciate your enthusiasm and kind words to the folks here that get their VIN or cars! It's nice to see and adds to the positivity of the forum.
