    Supercharger - Needles, CA (4 V2 stalls)

    Another dreadful trip on I-40. I charged to 100% in Barstow on my 100D (ignoring suggestion to charge to 80%). Thank goodness I did. I got to the Needles supercharger and 2 stalls of the 4 were dead. Multiple people waiting… On a non-holiday weekend. So I went on to Kingman, Az and...

    Supercharger - Kingman, AZ

    Traveling along I-40 between Flagstaff and Barstow continues to be miserable With my Tesla. Kingman and Needles superchargers are generally overloaded which dramatically increases the trip time. So sadly I’m back to driving my ICE vehicle. The continued lack of attention from Tesla for...

    Supercharger - Kingman, AZ

    The superchargers between Flagstaff and Barstow (specifically - Needles & Kingman) are terribly Insufficient. We are traveling today and the weather is very hot (excess of 110 degrees) so I needed to stop at both… Charging to 90% at each and I got to Barstow with 15% battery left. First at...

    Anyone here got a Roadie or raspberry pi zero setup in the model s?

    My 2017 Tesla Model S (MCU 1) got the AP3 upgrade a couple of months ago... So I bought the roadie... I checked the box that I knew it didn't work with a MCU 1 car. I plugged it in and it couldn't boot all of the way. I got an email from the Roadie guys that it wouldn't work since it draws...

    Yellow borders on main screen- A new fix

    Can't be "fixed" by software only hidden. The problem is that the glue used is not UV stabilized, so it yellows over time. I am also seeing this yellowing on the bottom edge of the instrument cluster display :-(. So if I was trying to hide this... I would match the yellow edge with he...

    Tesla Model S 21" Silver Arachnid Wheels and Tires - gently used

    No on the pothole. The slow leak was apparent as soon as I took delivery of the wheels. The independent tire shop that also looked at it thinks in the tire.

    Tesla Model S 21" Silver Arachnid Wheels and Tires - gently used

    I have a set of the 21" Silver Arachnid Wheels and Tires. Been on the car for about 9 months. Tread measurement is 7/32 to 8/32 left. New was 10/32. No rash on the wheels, they look great. The right rear tire seems to have a very slow leak, but Tesla checked it and didn't find anything...

    Model S Battery Range only 251 miles. Normal?

    Doesn't sound normal for a car that is less than a month old. Some degradation is going to happen, my 2014 Model S P85 had less than 6% loss in 3 years. My 2017 P100 (now 19 months old) has only lost 3 miles. In both cars, loss of range in the first 6 months was not noticeable at all.

    Need Solid Tips on Removing CA HOV Stickers

    I just went thru this process. Warming is helpful, but just keep it warm and not very hot, you can burn the paint and that will make it much worse. Here is what I did, I think warming the sticker first would have helped to minimize the work. But I didn't do that ;-) 1) I removed the...

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2018, 16 stalls)

    I just looked at the map in the car and the Milpitas supercharger is no longer listed. Perhaps there is a problem. Looking at the location, the natural way to get to the supercharger off of Calaveras Blvd. which then takes you right by the main entry to the hotel. I doubt the hotel had...

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2018, 16 stalls)

    Yes, I meant the car nav for map. I referenced the SOC since I had the feeling that was a normal rate, but since I don't supercharge often I wasn't sure.

    Supercharger - Milpitas, CA (LIVE 15 Nov 2018, 16 stalls)

    Silicon Valley Clean Energy CCA (Santa Clara County)

    I had a long conversation with Silicon Valley Clean Energy yesterday. They told me that the delivery charges work the same as before with net metering... With the only difference being that SVCE will pay more for excess power generation. I guess I will let it run and see what happens.

    When to know if a switched 12V is On or Off?

    The dash cam is only 5watts (measured), but I believe the DC-DC has to keep topping off the 12V battery and that is why so much energy is consumed as the DC-DC is probably not efficient for just 12V charging.

    When to know if a switched 12V is On or Off?

    For those who did an always install of the blackvue camera... I did this with my model s. I measured how much power the blackvue uses and it is about 5W... So parked 8 hours it would consume just 40W... Pretty low. But what I see is that if I do this I loose about 5 miles of range over 8...

    Touchscreen unresponsive?

    Starting a couple of weeks ago I started to have this problem... Didn't have for the last year and now it happens almost daily. Looks like something broken in software since a reboot has so far always fixed it.

    New California car pool laws?

    So I think of it this way. People who want to retain HOV access will sell their EV and get a new one to get the new HOV sticker. These used EV will be purchased by someone who knows it can't get HOV sticker. This has the effect of increasing the used EV market.

    Tesla scaling back service loaners for Model S owners?

    Careful with the free car wash. At some service centers they just wipe down the car with a cloth and detail spray :-(. I decline the car wash now.

    Rebooting while driving with "Easy Entry" is dangerous

    Powerwall 2: Installation

    Thanks very much for your help. Yes there are two 200A double pole breakers. I figured the gateway was rated @ 200A. It would be OK to have just 1/2 the house on backup power, we don't loose power too often.

    Tesla went offline while on a trip and is not drawing any power. How screwed am I?

    Very interesting thread. When I go on longer trips I drop the charge rate to 50% and let the battery bleed off power. When I get back I reset to my normal SOC of 70% (I have a short commute and only charge up when I plan on a longer trip. I had noticed a couple of times when I was gone two...

    Charge dropping to 30A

    I had a similar problem... The failure mode turned out to be a defective on-board charger. It was getting too hot. When it gets hot it self-projects and limits charging. If you can try to charge someplace else this would eliminate your charging setup at home. Otherwise take it into your...
