    Supercharger - Novato, CA (LIVE 28 Mar 2020, 20 V2 stalls)

    Management is obligated to provide so many general parking places based on the size of the Shopping Center, which is pretty big. Putting up the general parking, EV charging preferred signs, allows them to count the SuC parking spots as general parking that applies to their quota.

    @sxnahm great review of Marin City SUC. You'll like Corte Madera and Greenbrae. Far more amenities! Enjoy your contribution. Thanks for the video!

    Not to be picky, but how about a Model S pre-facelift, nosecone model? Support the "classics"! Oh yeah, since we are there, how about caps, too!! Glad you are doing this. New energy!

    Supercharger - Greenbrae, CA (LIVE 16 Dec 2020, 14 urban stalls)

    I tried to charge there Tuesday, 12/15. No juice then. So they must have thrown the switch on Wednesday. Charged up on Saturday 12/19. This should pull volume from Corte Madera. Same urban chargers.

    Tesla is playing a waiting game. But the class action suit will go beyond our warranty periods? Maybe they are hoping the longer it drags out, the smaller our class action group will get?

    Swung by today. Same situation. All set up and the switch is not flipped on. Looks like 20 urban chargers in two banks on either side of the transformer.

    It is all about lost battery capacity measured in kWh. When you talk about "range" Tesla will tell you that you are not driving your car correctly. With 2019.16.1 I lost 15% kWh overnight. Forget about miles. That is an arbitrary measurement. My kWh dropped from 73 kWh of capacity to 62 kWh...

    Suggest we ALL look at this as battery degradation measured in kWh. We have been down the mileage range discussion previously and it gets all shot up in light of the many variables. What determines range? wh/mi, that is a huge variable based on wind rain, speed and many more things that Tesla...

    Wow, so sorry to hear about their closure. No surprise in our times. But hey, they were my saving grace when I did the leg from Boise to Winnemucca in my MS P85+. Southbound, we just made it.

    The primary issue they are skirting, and will never acknowledge, is this reduces the chance of our older 85kWh batteries from spontaneously combusting due to dendrites forming. That is the real issue that needs our focus. Who cares about battery life if it all bursts into flames? That is my...

    Hey Folks. Sometime ago, there was a monitoring sheet where they monitor P85 and P85+ build date between Sept - Dec, 2014. These are RWD and has AP1 hardware built in. I've been searching for hours for this link posted here in TMC but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone point me to the right...

    Interested to see how the kW sharing will happen. Easy with the 120KW chargers split between two stalls. But 250kW how is that split between 4 stalls, or is it?

    I didn't see the article. But that is a conversation I had previously with the SuC valet they used to have on duty there. Yes, these SuCs would heat up and shut down. Several years ago they used this site as a test for liquid cooled charging cables. They were much thinner. But in time they...

    Dropped by at 4:00 pm today, 12/12. Wide open. Appears all 20 stalls are operating. Although the Tesla Nav map indicated "limited operation". My "old" P85+ got a solid 115kW at about 40% SOC. Tapered from there, but still a strong 80kW over 50%. I did notice that the cables are thinner and...

    Recommendation near San Francisco for lift kit install

    A lift kit? As a Jeep guy in a previous life you got my attention. What model are you lifting (X?). What size tires & rims are you planning to install? Interested to see how this works out.

    Confused about definitions

    I think it is a 2017 Model S Your nominal, usable and buffer are consistent with other models. My P85+ started life with 82kWh nominal, 77kWh usable with a 5kWh buffer. The latter is to prevent "bricking".
