I think that many of the drivers especially in the urban environments are ride share drivers, who wont be able to do the L2 route. I think the use case for renting/leasing these in the winter makes a lot less sense if you're reliant on DCFC and don't know the ins/outs of EVs or use bail outs...

in my area a lot of the uber guys have teslas, and in fact there was even some rental/lease program from them. Making a generalization, but probably safer to assume many of them dont have a garage or dedicated level 2 to use, and are more often using DCFC and dropping in at low SOC so they can...

tesla needs to do some kind of media release when they figure it out. the media is having a field day with it.

Will be interesting to get to the bottom of this. Last year when Colorado had shut downs, mostly CCS providers had issues and not SCs. Unfortunately, there are a lot of subtleties with cold weather EV driving that can become major issues. ie using 110v you wouldn't be able to charge in severely...

unfortunately w/ EVs you still need to think on your feet if stuff goes sideways.

I might change my opinion of the area. Seeing lots of clothes strewn about. Hope it’s not too sketch at night. I’m not from around here so not sure. Kinda giving me Aberdeen wa vibes.

8 stalls. Working. Nice little downtown area.

pretty sure ritzville has EA stalls. I know ellensburg has the ones at taco bell. The tokio and quincy would be good magic dock. Last time I was at quincy it was actually quite full which was surprise. At tokio, I've never had more than 2 others with me.

Stopped at the charger few days ago. Found a few safeway carts at the stalls. Hopefully this doesnt become a pattern. Obviously can't know for sure it's SC users, but it's not a good look.

I had a sausage egg croissant which was ok. The hazelnut oat milk latte was great tho. Hours are amazing.

The gravity coffee is huge. Even picnic tables inside.

Nice well lit. Next to huge gravity coffee and short walk away from Safeway. Stalls work.

hopefully its not like the flo one in naches. it is heinously priced. it's 40 cents a min and limited to 50kw. ouchie

still hope us 12 in packwood or morton would get one. big gap until yakima down that area

the current one often has a wait during peak times. not surprised they're making more

had a similar issue. this is what they did. i think they dented my fender in the process, so it made another issue. Correction: Diagnosis: Low Voltage Circuit Integrity Check Correction: Amplifier - Audio - External (Remove & Replace) - Remove and Replace Parts Replaced or Added Part...

I had body work done on my m3p. they had to replace the r. tail light and when i picked up from tesla the speakers didnt work. so i had to drop it off to service center again, and after i picked it up after the replaced the speakers i noticed this inside to outside dent in my r. rear. i know it...

wow the i90 corridor is going to have SCs every 20 miles lol. EA you get 4 in ritzville and ellensburg right?

would like to see packwood too. i think its #30 right now on the voting

It certainly looks like it. natural aluminum doesn't have a uniform appearance, kinda blotchy. my best guess.

yea saw that. looks almost better than the original lol (it would if it was uniform IMO)

Per service team "Hi, thank you for your message. The coating has no effect on the performance of the rotors. A replacement is not covered under warranty as this is a wear and tear item." There ya go.

On the m3p I don't think I can set it low/high. I have it set so the brakes are blended it w/ low regen modes and I try to use brakes a bit to keep rust off. Maybe I'm a bit too good at timing the regen during turns/stops.

no.

I got it in november. I had ceramic coating put on the rims to make them easier to clean. I use a detail spray to wash the spokes but thats about it. I dont overspray into it I don't think, and I definitely don't spray anything on the rotors/calipers themselves. The car has been pretty good...

Good to get an upgrade to 250 from the 150s at the OG

ooooh. once that happens ill be getting some better rotors. gross.

I made a service request. I'll see what they say. Probably "it's within spec"

nah. I noticed this happening about a month or two after I got car. No tracking, use mostly regen. Looks like paint or whatever they used maybe didnt cure right.

thanks. kinda looks crappy

Hi. There is this covering thats over my break rotors near where the bolts are that is chipping off. Its like a paint layer? Is this to be expected lol?

Looks like someone listened to me. Packwood, WA is on the list for votes on SC. Please vote for this. There is a desperate need for an SC between i-5 and yakima which goes through the southern region of Mt. Rainier. Please vote!!!!!! This view of the map I showed is a bit misleading. US 12 is...

I drove by this past weekend. was still down.

I have someone in my family who worked on f15s, I love the way the engines sound when the "turkey feathers" thrust nozzles change angles. Coolest mechanical sound.

this was my car today lol

My worry is that as the US is lallygagging hanging onto ICE vehicles til the last breath, china will continue to lead in the EV space. They are already starting to export to europe, asia, south america and beyond. When ICE cars are no longer sold new in the USA, your only choice for a cheap car...

I have michelin alpin snow tires on my M3P and it does well going up/down snoqualmie. I really hope tesla someday makes an SC on US12 in packwood or morton. Big gap in charging once off of interstates.

I'm not from cali, but I've heard that if r3 is on, basically road is closed. If it's r1/r2 sounds like you still need to carry chains. Seems kinda redundant to me. I think they treat studded tires as snow tires.

I have michelin alpins on my m3p. Works like a dream. If I lived in a very icy place, nokian makes a good studded winter tire too.

Makes you wonder. The place is definitely isolated.......

I generally never see anyone there. There aren't many amenities close to it aside from an older gas station which isn't in greatest shape. I generally stop in ellensburg when I'm going from west side to spokane. There are like 50 dining options you can walk to when car is charging. I think the...

My m3p was made in Nov. 2022. It comes w/ the new cameras. Interestingly, my mcu failed nearly immediately after I received it. They replaced the mcu with the current hw3 mcu (confirmed w/ serial). So although I think I have the new side cameras, don't believe it has hw4 hardware. The pillar...

I stopped around 530 am on a saturday. Sketchy even then

Good, this will be a busy charging site but Tacoma sorely needed one. I still think routes south of Mt. Rainier need one. Maybe around Morton or Packwood. Would be good for those that want to avoid the interstates getting to eastern washington.

Morton would be good spot too

I think the old kmart location in spanaway would be great spot for one. Nothing is being developed there. South of mt rainier there are no good charging options period for us 12 between i5 and yakima.
