Not sure how to ping the supercharge.info people, as it's still listed as V3 on there. Also, this isn't on Plugshare yet, so someone posted one of these photos to the wrong site (the PowerNode charging site under construction up the road).

Or a concession to the NACS future with varied charge port locations?

I forgot about the Ryzen thing. If I had to speculate, it was to save money on licensing. Whether it was Tesla or AMD who made that call, I dunno... Thank you for confirming it's not just me.

Kinda crazy no one flagged this as an issue before/during install.

I subscribed to a month of premium connectivity and I also got a brand-new phone (Pixel 7 Pro) and no AAC. My theories in order of perceived likelihood: 1) It never had AAC and I'm an idiot; 2) It had AAC and it's been removed, either on-purpose, to save licensing costs, or because of a bug 3a)...

Was able to do this, for the most part. As expected, the first two stops (Myrtle Creek & Medford) were quite short with barely enough time to use the bathroom, let alone eat. I think in the summer I could skip Myrtle Creek. Once in central valley, it wasn't too much trouble. Some smaller sites...

I was there a few weeks ago on a Saturday and the SC looked fairly busy. The main parking garage has free level 2 charging (32A) and parking is free on weekends. The mess hall has some decent food options and the park behind it is a nice place to take a stroll if you can bear the slower charging...

I think previously those two rows were angled parking, so they had to re-stripe both rows to straighten.

I won't make it down tonight but it's live on the app...

Pedestals are still bagged as of 1PM today. A single contractor truck was onsite, although just looked like he was doing a quick inspection (i.e. no tools or crew). Possibly unrelated but SCE had damn near 30 contractors of different types up Muirlands, Southeast of the site. Digging and also...

I was just at Castaic, which has spots on either side. The side that everyone was using had the "EV Charging Only" red sign. Interestingly, it was the opposite side stall that had the classic black and white bump stop.

Maybe they'll put in landscaping or hardscaping that will make clear what side to approach from...

Yeah I know about the charging curve, and that my car can't even take the full 250kW. But the advantage to me is that when I plug in and expect a 25 minute charge, it doesn't suddenly turn into 35 minutes because someone pulled into the adjoining spot. It happened more than once on my last trip...

Going to do this trip again soon, and attempt 250's only. Will create some strange short legs in southern Oregon, but that's fine as long as things are not too busy. I have a random question about standard Autopilot. I had a couple of the so-called "phantom braking" events on my prior trip, to...

That is odd. I've not been to the area but found this on old Street View, perhaps the circled water runoff drain proved an impediment to pedestal installation.

Yeah, I read all the threads before my purchase. I don't need audiophile grade audio, but I can definitely tell the difference between SBC and AAC. If anyone else would like to test, I used the Android app "Bluetooth Codec Changer" to get the screenshot above. It worked fine for me and then I...

People gonna start unplugging each other. Charger drama in the OC!

Looks like they still need to do a slurry seal and re-stripe, right?

Doesn't look like we need "proof of life", but here it is anyway. $0.33/kWh

I thought for sure I posted an edit, but it seems that's time limited: - The title should read "SBC Codec", not SBD - Car is '23 M3 RWD - Phone is Galaxy S20 FE - Same result on Galaxy S21

When I got in this car in October, the audio quality was better than any other car I'd been in. My wife and I both commented on it, before anything else - performance, driving dynamics - "wow, this sounds great!" I noticed a few days ago that the audio quality was noticeably worse and...

Just judging by all the reports of full SCs in Irvine, as well as the EA sites. Got an earful about THE INFRASTRUCTURE ISN'T THERE from a e-tron driver when I wandered over to take a look at the EA site at Jeffrey and Trabuco. If I had to rely on DCFC, instead of readily available L2, it would...

I know many don't have a choice, but I don't think I could handle owning and EV in south OC without home or work charging.

Today it's probably iced literally.

I should have been more clear that it was a Model 3 VIN. I understand this was mostly about the MY losing the tax credit, but wanted to respond specifically to the application not accepting any 2023 VINs. It will now, if the car is eligible.

As of yesterday, the Oregon CVRP application accepted my 2023 VIN.

I'm wondering if Tesla is purposely sending me to 150kW sites because by LFP car maxes out at 170kW. That would be fine if not for the splitting which burned me twice on the return trip. I think I'm just not going to accept Corning as a charging stop again...

Thanks. I figured it would have come up before if it wasn't user error.

I switched the mobile connector before a thorough test. But I'm curious which parry (car or EVSE) is responsible for doing the 80% calculation (i.e. a 30A circuit can only provide 24A continuous), and why it didn't happen correctly in this case.

My dad has a Siemens E348556, 30A wall mounted EVSE, with a J-1772 connector. He uses it to successfully charge his Nissan Leaf daily. I brought my M3 over for the first time and tried to charge using the Tesla provided adapter. I've used the adapter successfully elsewhere, but it didn't work...

Day 2 was Firebaugh, Bakersfield, and Anaheim. Two things I noticed that I'm sure have been mentioned before... it can be indecisive. When I left it picked Bakersfield. After Firebaugh I made a small change to my destination and then it said Buttonwillow... and then halfway there switched to...

So my overall takeaway from day 1 of this journey is that following the car navigation, even when it does "the wrong thing" is generally fine. E.g. it brought me to 150kw chargers on 3 of 4 stops, had me charge into the 90's twice, and had me stop with over 55% once. But after using the...

Is it common for businesses listed in the nav as bathrooms to restrict access to paying customers? AFAIK, there is absolutely nothing else around here so if you were to stop outside of business hours (or just didn't want to eat or drink) you'd be out of luck?

OD: 3/5/22 M3 RWD MSM, Black interior, 18" aero, no FSD/EAP Original EDD July-Aug, which eventually became Oct-Nov. I didn't keep track of every change, but it was down to a 2 week window before VIN assignment. VIN assigned on 10/9, delivery scheduling on 10/11, pickup on 10/14.

This is the "product" I'm referring to. It seems to imply that the J1772 could be disconnected from the adapter, even if the adapter remains locked into the car. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/j1772-adapter-lock.162524/

It's too bad Tesla doesn't label the split units more clearly. Seems like a good way to make an enemy without knowing it! I'll prioritize 250kW, of course, but that's another question. With the LFP battery the initial reviews coming out of Europe last year (Tesla Bjorn, etc) seemed to show...

Yes I've been looking around on PlugShare to see what's around my usual stomping grounds. I did notice some somewhat hostile comments left in the reviews about Tesla's using the J1772 chargers... I also noticed the ring accessory to prevent someone from unplugging from the adapter. Is this a...

Thanks, all, for the additional insights.

Thanks for all the tips! I don't know how closely the web-based trip "planner" (Go Anywhere | Tesla) and in-car navigation match, but I've heard Tesla nav skews for longer driving legs and longer charging stops, whereas something like ABRP seems to do more frequent, but shorter stops (although...

I'm sure Tesla has their own algorithm for SC placement, but you have to assume lack of major highways (toll road excepted) and high percentage of single-family homes (i.e. garages) plays into the lack of SC in inland south county. In any case, I heartily recommend El Conejito in this shopping...

Thanks for the reply. It's an interesting idea, and I wonder how predictable the behavior of Tesla drivers is. There is the early adopter enthusiast contingent, and then the luxury car segment buyer. One may assume the former is more likely to do their own route planning and ignore the nav...

It appears I am too new to "Like" posts yet, but I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

I finally have a VIN for my RWD 3 and so am thinking about my first road trip to Southern California (from southern Willamette Valley). I know there are users here that make this (or portions of this) trip fairly frequently, so I'm curious if there's anything in particular I should be aware of...
