The 2022 Massachusetts Climate Bill (signed by Charlie Baker) had the requirement that the utilities start to offer off-peak electric rates for EV charging. It’s been a year and a half since that passed. Anyone know if there are any updates on progress implementing this? What to know about...

I think @kayak1 meant to charge a Tesla at a magic dock enabled supercharger with magic dock + the Tesla CCS1 adapters (usually used to charge a Tesla at Electrify America, EVGo, etc)

And I voted for locations in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Quebec.

I suggested: Vermont Stowe Jay New Hampshire Gorham Ossipee New York North Hudson Maine Carrabassett Camden

Wow! That's amazing speed. Why aren't most new sites prefab? Is Tesla constrained in how many prefab units they can build?

Tesla (thankfully) seems to be on a roll with installing new v3 or v4 stations near existing v2 units: Chestnut Hill (Newton), MA Dedham, MA Framingham, MA I'm looking forward to seeing more of this.

Thanks. I went back and looked. I was thinking of your comments on the Darien, CT that's still in the planning phase.

Is that the first v4 in New England north of Connecticut?

Thanks! Any chance they're putting longer cables on there? That's desperately need if they are planning on opening these stations up without causing chaos. For non-Teslas and for Cybertruck.

Station was down and covers were off when I drove up I-95 this morning.

My wishlist for the holiday update: Enable ESS H.E.L.P. rapid flashing hazard lights (they recently enabled this post crash, but it would be useful whenever you turn on the hazards). Enable matrix headlights CarPlay Better voice recognition commands (it still can't take "tune to ninety point...

Hopefully it can get some good community momentum behind it!

With FY2023 NEVI plans approved last Sept (2022), is there any central/official website for tracking all planned NEVI-funded charging installations and their status (state approved, permitted, construction started, construction completed, powered up, and open)? Or any crowdsourced website with...

Thanks for tracking the local updates and letting us know what's happening.

@Tdreamer, do you know if the 2/22 planning board meeting happened? And if the property owner did anything to make the PB happy?

I deleted the app and reinstalled it and I'm up and running again. I'm glad this happened when I was home and out-and-about with my wallet. If this happened while I was running, I would have been in trouble.

Iphone 14 pro with Tesla app 4.20.69.

This morning my phone stopped working as a key after 8 months of ownership. There was abew app update three days ago that says the key card is no longer required for pairing. I haven't paired any new keys in many months. But could this be related?? I've restarted my phone. I've restarted the...

I agree with that. I fully expect that the same contract or a near identical contract was probably used.

I really hope it's better than Lexington's Charepoint units, which are only 60kW. Come on, it's 2023. New DCFC units should be 150kW minimum.

Is there any way for the trunk to open full height in certain locations? (home and work where there's no garage; other places I go might be in garages. It seems like the safer way is to list places approved for full height.)

FWIW, I've found that I need to precondition the battery (navigate to charger) for at least 45 min to get ideal charging speeds.

It's on the car navigation now!

I went to the charger to check it out tonight. It still wasn't in the car maps at 8pm. But it did indeed charge. (Well, I only plugged in for 30-60 sec to see it start charging.)

Yay! It's in the app too.

The meter was rotating through displays:

What are the steps between getting a meter and opening to customers? I'm guessing the meter means everything is all set from the Eversourse side and it's all in Tesla's court?

WE HAVE A METER!! 🎉

Those are all good suggestions. The font sizes for different controls should be adjustable. We all have different eye sight limitations. And it should be easier to see at a glance while we're driving.

Thanks for explaining some possibilities. We definitely need more CCS chargers for the non-tesla drivers.

this is the bottom of the pole. Is the second conduit for for current setup? Future expansion? For CCS chargers (the northbound rest area in Lexington recently had two Chargepoint chargers installed)?

Yup. Still no meter. I did grab a clearer photo of the pole (in daylight):

Looks like we have the wires on the pole hooked up!! No meter yet.

Supercharge.info only allows you to filter by region (global region) and country. It's too bad you can't filter by state.

No official way to register for notification. But there's the wonderful supercharge.info (community-driven feed of supercharger updates). It also has links to the Tesla Motor Club forum entry for each SC station, link to google maps, and link to the Tesla (if there's a marker on Tesla's map)...

I swung by to check just now. The wires on the telephone pole are still not hooked up.

The IRS has posted a page listing cars that qualify based on final assembly and what the MSRP price cap is for each car based on if it's a car or SUV. 5 seat Model Y is a car and subject to $55k limit. 7 seat Model Y is an SUV and is subject to a $80k limit. Ford Mustang Mach E is a car ($55k...

The pole looks the same today. No meter yet.

That info was from an EU site, so it may or may not be on Hyundai cars sold in the US.

I googled it. It's Hyundai Safe Exit Assist. Safe Exit Assist: how does it work?

And make sure you have the setting set to allow the Tesla app to run in the background.

Adding remote start with key fob. When you're in an area without good cell coverage or wifi (my driveway in metro Boston), being able to start (and stop) preconditioning with the key fob would be really critical (with winter having arrived with a vengeance).

Adding one more. But in the app and website, not the car. I want to be able to see the charging cost by hour of day and current occupancy of each SC in the app and on the website. As far as I know, it's only available on the in-car screen. Am I missing it somewhere?

Adding cooled seats to the list.

Love my Model Y, but there's always room for improvement...What features would you like to see Tesla make for Model Y or Model 3? Let's classify this as either A) software updates or B) hardware upgrades (for new cars and possibly retrofitting to existing cars). I'll start... A) Software...

Just swung by on my way home. I don't remember what the pole looked like before. But there's a metal conduit coming from the ground with some wires coming out. But they're not connected to anything overhead.

This is timely for me. I bought some 18" wheels from Tsportline (to downsize from 19" stock wheels) and some crossclimate2 tires from Costco. Costco wouldn't install them because they were lower load rating (103) than stock Gemini wheels/tires my car came with (104), despite the fact that the...

Weekly update. Still no transformer as of 12/3.

No fence, but also no transformer or meter.

I drove past the station on the highway today (11/26) and it looked like the chain link fencing was gone. I was already past the exit or I would have stopped to check it out.
