I posted this photo of my S85D, nosecone style Near annual replacement of 12V battery is typical according to Tesla Service Tech It's been reposted by others.

I'm sure a few locals consider it a destination, but the biggest value of this supercharger is for visitors to nearby Yosemite National Park.

No need to "hmmmm" iPod/iPhone never worked over USB in any software release.

Yes, THANK GOD, the embedded firmware team isn't the same one working on the UI stuff. I don't know if it's the Linux UI folks being stretched thin, or being the most junior folks on the software team (GM always used to put junior mechanical engineers on the interiors, because that wouldn't...

Sure, if you're somewhere that has constant cellular connectivity. I live in the foothills of the Sierras. Cell reception is extremely spotty. I can't use any streaming data until I get out on a freeway 20 miles away. Tesla seems to have the same problem Apple does - they assume everyone has an...

My collection is hardly enormous. But, it's a pain to navigate without the quick select A B C D... buttons. Scrolling sucks - it's slow, and god forbid my finger isn't smoothly moving across the screen due to any sort of road imperfection, the car things I've selected an item and shows it. When...

That camper mode can't be engaged while the charging port is open. It's not possible to shift into neutral. And, once in camper mode, you can't open the charging door (at least on my March 2015 S85D) to plug in charger

Yes, it seems to. I had my S parked outdoors while I was working in the garage. It was plugged in (although not charging as it was already charged to the set limit). Every few minutes, I could hear the contactors on my HPWC click as the car's A/C turned on and started to draw power. I walked...

Of all the 8.0 new features, this one affects my everyday driving the most. I was shocked yesterday when I parked, paused an audiobook playing from my iPhone, did an errand, and came back to find it was all prepared to start the audiobook without having to reselect the iPhone as source. In the...

You've clearly never worked on a complex software project before. It isn't the actual programming of a checkbox that's difficult. What about testing, documentation, interactions with other features, how to handle upgrading software, worse what to do on a downgrade where the previous software has...

There is no solution that does not involve swapping the 90D for one that had thrm from the factory

And, someone pointed out the right scroll wheel only does temperature and sunroof, so they'll restore previous functionality

Argh. I hate it when companies "fix" things that aren't broken. I also used it to switch media - every time I get in the car, I roll it all the way down to select my iPhone even though that was the last audio source I was using when I got out of the car. I've used the right roller for screen...

I just bought a Mercedes Metris with flat mirrors on both sides because the European 'aspherical ' right mirror is not permitted in the US, so Mercedes put on a flat right mirror for the US market.

Mine has been disabled by updates.

I'm confused. You just described the cruise control stalk that's in my March 2015 S85D. Up, down, back, forward. No tiny baby fingered buttons.

I had other reasons for shunting the relay to keep the 12v socket live. And, once I'd done that, since I park inside in a garage, the simplest (for me) was to plug the charger into the 12v socket. The charger itself is outside the car in my case as there it came with a decently long cable on the...

Bummer. Prime spots are more likely to be ICEd

Is it sufficient to insert just the J1772 adapter? I fear the UMC will just get trampled on

My 19" MXM on S85D lasted about 38,000 mi. I was pleased that the wear was even fronts to rears (only rotated them once), and the wear across each tire was even.

Many, many, many. Napa lasted almost a year as I recall. Fremont-2 is at 301 days since construction started.

The photos were originally posted by me Near annual replacement of 12V battery is typical according to Tesla Service Tech In my March 2015 S85D, left hand drive, the fuseboxes are in the frunk under the the removable panel that runs across the rear of the funk near the windshield.

Tell the M-I-L that the internet thanks her!

Are you aware of the laws regarding drones in the US? You know it's a no fly zone but you want to fly anyway? I'd suggest you are one of the idiots ruining the hobby. You have registered with the FAA? Right?

Rather than do this plug/unplug dance, why not keave the car plugged in all night, but just turn down the amps from 40 to 20 or 30. That should be fine unless your RV has the A/C running.

Yeah, the truckee sc hasn't been very fast, when i'm not paired. 200mph on a 30% full battery rather than the near 300mph I'd expect., Brockway is faster. Perhaps this is intentional to wean us away from truckee. There's more to do at truckee, though.

The first part often this just isn't true. Most means more than half in California. That's just not true. Not bt a long shot, and I've been to every SC in CA except the ones right in LA and the Napa SC which wasn't yet open the last time I drove by it. And, short of Tejon ranch, which...

Aww damnit. Why can't they stop fixing the things that are not broken? I use that exact feature on abc news, too.

My hometown of Monroe, LA finally getting it's supercharger right off i20! • /r/teslamotors Not mine

That's a pretty looking X

Of the 95 superchargers I've been to, this is definitely my favorite. There are picnic tables on both sides of the Best Western. I've been there 7-8 times in the last year and never had to wait. yet. But, Califorinia is becoming less and less fun for traveling as the number of Tesla vehicles...

Thanks! I think this makes Louisville,KY to St Louis doable without having to head north to Indianapolis first

FYI to those in California that may not know, the max speed for any vehicle towing a trailer in California is 55mph. And, like trucks, there are lane restrictions in California. 2-lane: right lane except to pass. 3 or more lanes: right lane except to pass, and then only in the next lane over...

Off topic, but Mr Big, please consider joining the Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association, COPA. There is an enormous amount of information and support there for those who fly or own a Cirrus. Their training weekends, called CPPP, are top notch. In the past, COPA, more so than Cirrus itself, has...

You and I seem to be in the minority.

Imgur user claims power on "next week". Seems unlikely of no transformer! Laurel Maryland Tesla Supercharger JUST FINISHED (8 new stalls)

> Fatality was best possible outcome for Tesla I'd be banned for typing what I think about you posting that.

It's very relevant to the holders of nearly 400,000 Model 3 reservations.

Yep, WiFi at Rocklin in the SC parking spots is very poor for some reason. If I need internet connectivity (streaming audio) while charging there, I turn off WiFi altogether.

The press and others are closely observing delivery rate precisely because it is a measure of success. Elon Musk has made very public and very bold delivery rate promises. Some would say absurd. So, it really is meaningful to compare actual performance against promised performance as a...

I hit Ukiah this week for the first time. It's in a nice looking parking lot across the street from a park, and it seems nice on first glance. But, this is the only SC I've ever been to where I took out my phone and pulled up the dialer screen ready to dial 911. And, I've been to some sketchy...

I love it when people throw around, "unacceptable " Clearly it is acceptable to you as you have accepted it.

Tesla shows the supercharger station as open Sulphur Springs, TX | Tesla Motors

Dang, another outlet mall where Tesla owners will treat the charging stalls as extended parking spots.

Hey, that's my car! :-). This continues to work fine for me.

This place sells what you're looking for. DC Input Battery Chargers for Lead Acid and SLA Batteries, for charging batteries from vehicles and other low voltage sources, 6 Volt, 12 Volt, 24 Volt, 36 Volt, 48 Volt, 12V It's nice to see the photo I took of my S's fuse box being used to help...

I wouldn't consider St. Augstine my least favorite SC, but you're right about that food court. I stopped on a cross country road trip, and it was crapping down rain. And, the food court sucked!

There's no question that the Tesla requires longer than an ICE. But there are lots of factors that add to the ICE minimum possible drive time; bladder, pets, spouse, and kids. The difference becomes less as more and longer ICE stops are required. I've done several trips where I kept records of...

I had service last month at the Rocklin (NE Sacramento) center. They had no Tesla loaners, but they had a small stack of pre-printed Enterprise rental agreements with three Enterprise cars outside the front door. The front desk lady just filled my name in; I initialed some things, and she handed...

Dual motor S have the same motors front and back unless they are "P" models in which case the rear motor is the same rear motor used in the rear wheel only model S.
