    Supercharger - Laguna Hills, CA - Moulton Pkwy (LIVE 2 Nov 2023, 16 V3 stalls)

    Location doesn’t show up in the car, but I spotted it in my Tesla app map. There’s a weird mix of back in and pull in stalls, maybe something under the ground in certain locations.

    Is it possible to upgrade a 75d to a larger battery when It's time to replace it?

    Just need to be cautious about the warranty. Mine was unlimited miles 8 years, they’ve changed that since.

    Is it possible to upgrade a 75d to a larger battery when It's time to replace it?

    Not sure. But I don’t think you’d want to pay ~$13k or however expensive it is for a brand new pack. If your 75 is working fine just stick with it. Having the pack fail under warranty and getting a range upgrade then is more worth.

    Is it possible to upgrade a 75d to a larger battery when It's time to replace it?

    When my 70 failed under warranty, I asked them if they were willing to put in a 90 for me. They agreed for $3000 out of pocket (since 70 was going to be no cost). They said they couldn’t do the 100kwh battery because it was too heavy for the non 100kwh battery car frames or suspension.

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA - Barber Ln. (under construction Nov 2023, 20 stalls, Ulferts Center)

    Weekends here are a nightmare, lots of people end up parking on Barber Ln, tight spots too and lots of weird corners, so I think they might install them along the outer perimeter

    HV Battery service

    Arrived at Kettleman City with 9%, now I’m at 54% only going 79kw… might try unplugging it then plugging it back in.

    HV Battery service

    Anybody starting to see slower charging speeds? I’ve only been able to reach 120kw on my first charge… I’m in California with good temps. I’ve also noticed that when plugging in at low SoC, my pack can’t hold a good curve. If I arrive with 5%, I can only hold above 100kw until 30%, whereas if I...

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA - South Abbott Avenue (LIVE 8 Jun 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    Seems like there is progress being made here. Hope it opens sometime in May. Also saw a PG&E truck here when I left

    Thump sound when turning

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I think the issue was a Clorox Fabric Spray Bottle 😂. Because my car is the older MS with no front motor, I have an extra deep Frunk, where the canister was blocked in and rolling around.

    Supercharger - Cerritos, CA - Los Cerritos Center (LIVE 4 Sep 2020, 20 urban stalls)

    It says the new stalls are out of order so they aren’t active.

    Loud Suspension Thump at Low Speeds or Sharp Turns

    Any lead on this issue? I have almost the same noise and it’s driving me nuts.

    Thump sound when turning

    I get this loud thump sound when turning my car at any speed. Any ideas?

    Supercharger - Cerritos, CA - Los Cerritos Center (LIVE 4 Sep 2020, 20 urban stalls)

    The only issue I imagine with having mismatched speeds are people who don’t know the difference just plugging into whichever one they see. I still see lots of confusion at V2 stalls that share power, people still plugging in next to each other haha.

    Supercharger - Cerritos, CA - Los Cerritos Center (LIVE 4 Sep 2020, 20 urban stalls)

    looks like 8 was the number confirmed earlier. Too bad they couldn’t install another 4, there is definitely space.

    Early Model S battery replacements

    I get 297 miles rated. I honestly don’t feel a performance difference, but my dad said he felt the car was faster… might just be in our head. I did notice my motor was a lot louder, especially noticeable when going lower speeds, I’m not sure if installation missed some sound deadening piece or...

    Early Model S battery replacements

    My warranty ends November 2023 so I was able to bring it to Tesla for a cost free replacement. I actually opted to upgrade my pack from 70->90kwh for $3000. My drive unit is still original so I’m hoping that fails before end of this year…

    First Road Trip in my 2022 Model S

    I usually never go with Teslas recommended stops. While I’m charging at the first station, I see which station I should go to next, based off of distance, charging speeds, etc. The one time I let Tesla decide where to charge it led us 10 minutes away from the I-5, which wasn’t super ideal. It...

    Early Model S battery replacements

    Hard to get an exact answer with so many different variables like weather and charging habits. Could be someone living in colder climates, constantly draining the battery below 20%, always supercharging. My 2015 MS 70 battery failed after 190k miles with roughly 20 occurrences of draining to 0%...

    HV Battery service

    Don’t recall mentioning that I had to take pics. After I received the error message, I filed a service ticket and they were able to verify with car logs that the issue was most likely a failed battery.

    HV Battery service

    Not too sure either, my degradation was slightly higher, 210 miles at 100%. However I used to supercharge the car whenever I got the chance, since it was free and my current living situation only allows me to charge on 110v outlet. Frequent road trips in the past pushing the battery to below 5%...

    Supercharger - Costa Mesa, CA (LIVE 10 Apr 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    Superchargers at the mall aren’t a new concept, Tesla should also be considering that some people consider the surrounding amenities while charging. That’s why you see spots in shopping centers, restaurants, etc. I don’t see how putting it in a furniture store plaza is that great either, cause...

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA - South Abbott Avenue (LIVE 8 Jun 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    Yeah and it’ll take at least 10 minutes to walk across the street. Because there is no crosswalk on Calaveras and Abbott 🤷‍♂️

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA - South Abbott Avenue (LIVE 8 Jun 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    Too bad it's in kind of a dead spot. Would've been way better if it was in the shopping center with Paris Baguette and Grocery Outlet.

    Supercharger - Costa Mesa, CA (LIVE 10 Apr 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    too bad they don't build one in the south coast mall

    2013 Model S won't boot up or drive after parked overnight

    No shade but I think you should’ve spent more time researching on this forum, I was clueless about this whole process a month ago but I’ve learned a lot by reading up on different threads. 20k is no small sum of money and you definitely could’ve called Tesla to speak to someone about it. I know...

    2013 Model S won't boot up or drive after parked overnight

    Isn’t there a section in the trip display that shows your current trip and since last charge, both showing your Wh/mi efficiency? That’s good enough to gauge if you’re driving conservatively or not. I believe in your case, your display will always show 85, it’s just sometimes Tesla will unlock...

    2013 Model S won't boot up or drive after parked overnight

    Just do current rated miles / battery SoC %. So for example my pack (same as your new one btw) is 201/.68 or 296 miles.

    Can’t you just calculate the range?

    Thanks for this video, I’m planning a trip from SoCal to Vegas soon, that should be fun only having to stop once for a few minutes. :) Happy Thanksgiving

    HV Battery service

    Held off posting this info since I was going to add on my charging stats, but seems like we'll get something from @Videomatic3 . Just wanted to share some data points if anyone else is interested in this process. Before the swap I owned a 2015 MS 70 pack no. 1055893-00-C. Had around 190k miles...

    Instrument Cluster Screen Glare

    Got my instrument cluster screen replaced when they did the MCU 2.0 upgrade but I noticed it’s super reflective. Any chance the SC forgot to take off the protective film? I understand under sunlight the screens can do this but when I’m driving it’s like I’m looking into a mirror.

    HV Battery service

    haven’t taken the car supercharging yet but they ended up updating the car to 90 on 11/22. I left service on 11/17. My max range is around 297, you should be getting the same.

    How long did it take for them to upgrade the configuration? I’m currently waiting for mine to upgrade and I’m really impatient haha.

    HV Battery service

    Got the new 1014116-00-C battery installed. However, since my car used to have a 70kwh pack, the service team said they would need to submit the final invoice to Tesla and then my car will get updated in 1 business week for it to reflect the increase pack size. So it seems right now I have a...

    2013 Model S won't boot up or drive after parked overnight

    How good is the charging curve? Whats the max kw, and where does it usually sit at before tapering? My car is getting a new 90kwh pack, presumably the 1014116-00-C and I'm excited to not be chargegated like my current pack with 200k miles on it. Thanks in advance!

    HV Battery service

    At first they offered the 70kwh, but then I asked out of curiosity and that’s when they offered to do the 90kwh battery pack. I was also a little skeptical if they would so I was pleasantly surprised. Also the battery pack arrived yesterday so I was able to bring it into service. Total waiting...

    HV Battery service

    I’m because I’m opting to upgrade to a 90kwh battery from my original 70kwh battery. With the bigger battery means new hardware.

    HV Battery service

    They charged me around 4100 including labor and Southern California tax. The cost of the battery upgrade was 3000 plus 220 diagnostic fee for the bms fault code. They also need to replace rear suspension components and other misc items. I asked if I could have the 100kwh battery pack but they...

    HV Battery service

    Recently got an issue with my MS 70 HV battery and going to get it replaced under warranty. Decided to upgrade the pack to 90kwh but on my invoice they listed this battery part BATTERY RANGE 1.00 UPGRADE, 70KWH TO 90KWH, MSX(1091845- 09-A) From reading the forums, A revision is capped at 90kw...
