    Supercharger - Key West, FL

    Tesla Charging Winter 2023 Supercharger location winners were announced a little over a month ago. Yet I see no mention of Key West being one of the winners besides the tweet. Nothing on Supercharger.Info or Tesla official map of SuperCharger locations and coming soon locations.

Likes a smaller car. Should he drive it like once per week? Otherwise should we just leave it plugged in in the...

    New Marketplace type? Vacation Rentals or anything?

    So we just bought a vacation rental in Key West. We will be making it EV friendly and thought maybe offering it to fellow Tesla owners would be a good thing. I looked at Marketplace and we dont have a category that fits for vacation rentals or for something outside of cars and car parts. Any...

    So we just bought a vacation rental in Key West Florida. Question should we have a Tesla Charger installed or should we go more generic? Tesla Charger supports the Tesla community. Generic supports anyone. Thoughts?

    Amazes me no Supercharger on east side of Arkansas

    Still amazes me that Tesla has yet to put up a Supercharger west of Memphis in Arkansas or in Blytheville or Forest City. Yes selfish on our part but, traveling from Chicago to visit my sister in Little Rock and soon my niece in Dallas is a pain since you need to drive 26 miles out of your way...

    Charging slow with cable that came with 3

    We noticed yesterday that our 3 seemed to barely charge overnight. So yesterday we took the cable for our S and plugged into the same 40AMP wall jack (House built in 2017 and we have 3 220 jacks in garage) and charging was normal so it appears to be the cable that came with the 3. I noticed...

    Safety features of vehicles in the age of terrorists

    Now I am not someone that is scared of terrorists. I truly believe that we have far more riskier things in life and statistics back this up. Still with the terrorist act in Charlottesville and Barcelona and cars having more and more sensors. Why not an automatic cutoff of the ability for a car...

    Arkansas or North Dakota, which will be last?

    Arkansas is basically surrounded now. Crazy that nothing seems to be going on in Arkansas. I am thinking North Dakota is going to be charged up first.

    How will reservation priority work?

    Tesla said that employees get first priority then current owners then new owners. So at the end of the day today (or some other time period) will Tesla take all the orders and then first grab the employees and sort them by order date and time. Then take the current owners and do the same...

    Hope for Little Rock and Memphis

    See that a Supercharger is permitted in Sulphur Spring, TX. That looks like the start of a spur from Dallas to Little Rock and then to Memphis. Really no other reason to put another Supercharger around Dallas on that stretch of road. Think we should expect to see permits soon for Texarkana...

    Our Volts have an indicator light that changes when the car is fully charged. Does the Model S do the same?

    So was watching a video yesterday from Bloomberg. I just cant believe that the actual vehicle is selling at a loss? Now I can see Tesla as a whole losing money right now. With R&D on the Model 3, with R&D and ramping up production on the Model X, etc. With building out the Supervharger...
