    Bicycle and the Model 3

    Again, thank you. To be clear, will I be able to close the trunk?

    Bicycle and the Model 3

    Please help me understand if a Model 3 can transport a bicycle and what is the maximum size. TIA

    Supercharger - Alabaster, AL

    From the description of your attempts to get it to work it seems to me that Tesla still needs to activate something. Have you tried to report the problem?

    Trenching? At this stage that seems very odd. Now I really want to know what happened during this install!

    Powerwall Placement in a Garage Question

    My garage is attached to the house which has a crawlspace and my garage walls are built upon concrete foundation block which is common. The actual wall surface is inset which creates a gap between the drywall surface and the floor of a few inches. I am looking for advice about mounting two...

    Supercharger - Alabaster, AL

    Without actually knowing I can only imagine the wiring must not have checked out for one reason or another and the remedy had already been predetermined from a similar prior installation problem at another location. Thanks for the photo update Grifon.

    Supercharger - Alabaster, AL

    but it seems unnecessarily wasteful. If the tear-out is the response or remedy to an incorrect equipment installation it seems the problem could be corrected with negotiation. Anyway, I've been following Supercharger installs since 2014 and I've seen some strange things. It will be...

    I think I am expressing the thing everyone here wants to know; What happened?

    Maybe this work site was hit and can be written off with an insurance settlement.

    Supercharger - Hendersonville, TN

    This is an embarrassment for anyone in Henderson professionally involved with permitting, engineering or construction of this Supercharger site. I understand that mistakes happen but the physical mistake of the transformer placement which is crucial should have been resolved quickly.

    Yeah I just saw this. The attachment shows 16 V4 Charge Posts! Woo Hoo!! whiplash Ohhh Nooo!

    What is your understanding of Tesla's progress with regard to Magic Dock on already existing Supercharger locations?

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    Well that's a pretty weird customer experience. It sure has my 3-month reimbursement delay beat.
  14. Jeff Hudson

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    Lol, yeah right? Don't think I didn't ask but this is the only way they do it. It gets even more odd in that there is a 3 month delay such that I windup cashing a cheque 3 months after their system records my generation - lol. Also, to clarify, my utility company does reimburse me per kWh on...

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    If you were referring to me you should know I was not complaining. Also, learning about the cost of electricity in other areas and the surrounding circumstances is revealing as to how good I have it here where I live. I'm beginning to lean towards this thinking mainly because I have no interest...
  16. Jeff Hudson

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    Thanks for the reply Daniel. Just to clarify my situation, I provide 100% of my Solar PV energy output exclusively to my utility company because it is wired to a separate generation meter and then to my grid-tied utility meter. I am reimbursed for all (100%) of it at a constantly (monthly)...

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    I'm going to sleep on it for now and by tomorrow I hope I'll understand better.
  18. Jeff Hudson

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    Thanks for the input. My situation is coming into focus. I have yet to initiate contact with the installer for a quote but your comment has me thinking about a variation on what you've suggested. What do you think about a subpanel leaving off my HVAC, have them slightly rewire my Solar PV to...

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    Here's the thing that's bothering me and that I may not have expressed as well as I should have. I do not generate enough energy to operate off grid as I would like to (as many of those present here claim they do - no animosity or jealousy) and adding Powerwall's does not effect my deficient...

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    I have a question about Powerwall that I've been wondering about for a while. Are Powerwall's connected the same for every installation when solar panels are involved?
  21. Jeff Hudson

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    Did you give any consideration to the ratio of how much energy you generate vs how much energy you consume? For example I generated a monthly average of 608 kWh/month over the past 2 years which means ideally I average about 20 kWh/day, while during the same period I consumed an average of 1,022...

    Can solar only be used to charge powerwalls during a power outage?

    Thank you, that is a good observation that I will take into consideration and it is helping me to make this decision.
  23. Jeff Hudson

    Should I get 1, or 2 powerwalls for my existing PV system?

    Any advice is welcome. I want to take advantage of the recent IRA and its 30% tax offset and I have an existing 6.76kW, 7yo PV system. I'm trying to decide between one or two Powerwalls. My consumption is greater than the PV system 10 months of the year. My HVAC would require two Powerwalls but...

    FSD Beta v11.x

    Thanks for the confirmation. Another question I've been meaning to get confirmation for is it also your experience that FSD Beta won't obey a manual signal to take a turn when it isn't following a pre-programmed navigation path? This has been my experience.
  25. Jeff Hudson

    FSD Beta v11.x

    I've been meaning to ask for a while now and my apologizes to this forum if this has already been asked and answered. Is it okay in your opinion to activate an FSD Beta drive without using navigation? I do this frequently and I am not bothered with having to exit FSD Beta either because of a...

    Supercharger - Gardendale, AL

    Now that you mention it - 6 stalls are odd for a V3 standard of 4 stalls to a cabinet.

    Supercharger - Gardendale, AL

    I predict this will be a busy Tesla Supercharger location with the North - South I-65 crowd.

    That Plugshare post was written on March 3, 2023 and should be considered no longer relevant other than the day it was written.

    Supercharger - Mount Juliet, TN

    Curiosity can often invite pure speculation but in this case I'd like to hear the rest of the story. I wonder if the existence of the alleged water pipe was known before digging commenced or after digging uncovered it.

    Supercharger - Barstow, CA - East Virginia Way (LIVE 19 Nov 2022, 8 V3 + 2 Urban stalls)

    72kW just means I get to stretch my legs a little longer and hey any dependable charging location is a good one until proven otherwise.🙄

    Supercharger - Henderson, NV - Paseo Verde Pkwy

    Is there a fee with admittance to the parking structure?

    Ha, ha, lol. Visiting Tesla owners ought to get a laugh out of this construction gaff.

    Supercharger - Crossville, TN - Genesis Road

    Many people opining about the Tesla Supercharger network or any DC Fast Charging network for that matter mistakenly think DC Fast Charging is either for long distance travel or local quick charging for those who choose to live where they cannot charge overnight. This is one of the very first...

    Supercharger - Crossville, TN - Genesis Road

    I think this site placement is a great example of how far ahead Tesla is planning. Superchargers are for both locals as well as travelers. This particular placement straddles I-40 at an interchange! It is also strategically located for East - West travelers between Nashville, Knoxville and...

    Supercharger - Mount Juliet, TN

    I count only 11 stalls.

    Supercharger - Bethesda, MD

    My guess is that you'll find it outside the parking structure.

    Supercharger - Leeds, AL

    That was Tesla's original solution in the EU but it's far from optimal for different charge port locations on various EV's. Until a charge port placement location is standardized I think the charge port placement necessitates a significantly longer charge cable to reach every EV charge port...

    Supercharger - Leeds, AL

    Maybe somebody conveniently close can take look to see the construction progress and post a few photos. I'm in north Alabama (Hazel Green) and when we next take a trip to the Gulf I am planning this detour for a mid trip charge.

    FSD Beta & Hands On The Wheel

    Please do not use these types of unauthorized devices designed to fool the Tesla Autopilot or FSD Beta software sensory input expectations. Plainly stated, it is irresponsible and dangerous to both the driver and other people. This point is not arguable. Tesla warns the driver each and every...

    FSD Beta & Hands On The Wheel

    Yes the driver is still prompted but the prompting comes from the software and not the steering wheel. The screen starts to pulse blue in the upper left and honestly it's a little hard to notice at first but it becomes more noticeable as the timer approaches a FSD Beta disconnect by the system...

    I sure hope the wheel stops are not on backorder :confused: so be careful backing in.

    That is precisely the conclusion I arrived at after posting. It would be interesting to see the machine that does the pulling.

    Wow nice catch. Ok, now I'm wondering all sorts of things 😆 but I won't bother you with my curiosity questions. Thanks for sharing.

    Supercharger - Huntsville, AL

    I'm wondering why I don't see the usual wiring and conduit protruding from the transformer pad.
  45. Jeff Hudson

    Supercharger - Huntsville, AL

    Yes! That sure looks like the correct Supercharger equipment. I wonder how long it'll take? I'll take the first guess with it being operational by July 27, 2022.

    Supercharger - Robertsdale, AL

    I can only see what this traffic situation is about using Google Maps which to be honest is pretty good. The Bucee's employee parking lot on the other side of the road looks like it could evolve into another larger Supercharger location.
  47. Jeff Hudson

    Supercharger - Issaquah, WA - Gilman Village

    Are the coordinates 47.540084, -122.041717 that are attached to this location correct? I does not look like a normal Tesla Supercharging location looking at it in Google Maps Street View.

    Thanks for that info as well as all the preceding info Dewg. I am now at Safety Score 99 and officially in the FSD-Beta queue with no expectations about when I'll get the FSD-Beta software update. Earlier today I installed a software update after reaching a 30 day Safety Score of 99 yesterday...

    The unofficial "when do I get my FSD beta update" FAQ

    I apologize in advance if this has already been answered but does the operator need to "do" something like pressing a button accepting admittance into the FSD-Beta? Does additional software need to be downloaded? I already know about requesting to participate in the FSD-Beta program (I have)...
