https://supercharge.info/map?siteID=7771 Found by MarcoRP, 12 charging posts + solar canopy + battery storage planned for 3745 Railroad Ave., Pittsburg, CA: @Guacahummus @Big Earl @corywright Bruce.

Looking for a sanity check on this... East Bay Powerwall (3 x Powerwall 2) + Solar (5.8kW) owner, using Marin Clean Energy (MCE) as a community choice aggregator and PG&E for transmission, EV2-A rate plan with NEM 1.0, Powerwalls configured for Time-Based-Control. Solar is generally enough to...

My family and I rented a Model Y from Hertz on a recent vacation to Orlando, FL. We used it for a little less than a week, mostly around the Orlando area, but we did a day trip to Fort Lauderdale. Hertz and Tesla did a very good job setting the cars up so that Tesla owners will feel right at...

TLDR: "The uploaded image is too big" error message on TMC might refer to a limit on the physical (pixel) dimensions of an image, not the number of bytes in the file. Got a brand new iPhone 15 Pro to replace my old iPhone 11. I started getting a bunch of new problems uploading files into...

Tesla Owners of the East Bay and MarcoRP pointed out a Supercharger under construction at 1600 Palos Verdes Mall, Walnut Creek, CA. This is on the back side of the mall, easiest entrance is from Camino Verde. There are bases for 9 posts in the middle of the parking lot and another 3 posts next...

supercharge.info From Marco's Weekly Supercharger column, 12 stalls at 1881 Ygnacio Valley Rd., Walnut Creek, CA: The Weekly Supercharger: California Love!! - TeslaNorth.com @Guacahummus @corywright @Big Earl Bruce.

Nicole Mossinger, via Tesla Owners of the East Bay Facebook, has reported a 12-stall Supercharger under construction on Newark Blvd, a block north of the civic center. It appears to be in the parking lot of the shopping center on the southwest corner of Newark Blvd. and Mayhews Landing Rd...

(Map generated by TeslaFi from trip data) I took my 2022 Model X on a "Supercharger hunting" trip from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas, during the extended weekend of July 13-17. The goal of the trip was to log charges at as many unvisited Superchargers...

By chance I happened to find a new Supercharger site in the early stages of construction in a little strip mall called Galleria at 47998 (?) Warm Springs Blvd., Fremont, CA. My wife and I drove in here to go to a small Chinese grocery store, and were instantly annoyed by some construction...

A posting on a local Facebook group has pictures of Supercharger cabinets (still on pallets) that are claimed to be in the parking lot of the Safeway in Dixon, CA. (The pictures themselves were just close-ups of labels on the packed-up cabinets.) I believe that Safeway is at 1235 Stratford Ave...

Photos by Ajay Chand, posted to the Facebook group for Tesla Owners of the East Bay and used with permission. He gives the location as being behind the Aloft Hotel, with an estimated 18 stalls. @corywright @Big Earl @homero89 Bruce.

Gateway 1, software 22.36.6, and iOS app 4.19.0-1639. "Manage Access" looks like it allows you to give access to Tesla Energy systems to other people (presumably they have to have MyTesla accounts)? I don't remember seeing this before, or being aware this was possible. (Caveat: I haven't...

My family and I did a road trip with our Long Range Model X from the San Francisco Bay Area to Las Vegas, NV over an extended Presidents Day weekend. I did a little Supercharger hunting on the trip, so the charging stops in this trip report aren't necessarily as efficient as possible. We did...

MarcoRPTesla on Twitter has found permitting activity for a new Supercharger at 6770 Santa Rita Rd., Pleasanton, CA: @Big Earl @corywright @tes-s Bruce.

Coming from a 2015 Model S, which I though was already lacking in physical controls, I was somewhat dismayed to see that the 2021+ Palladium Model X (and S presumably) has even fewer buttons, etc. and makes even more functions dependent on the touch screen. The S3XY Buttons seem like a partial...

This past Memorial Day weekend we took our 2022 “Palladium” Long Range Model X on its first road trip from the San Francisco Bay Area to Southern California. We’ve done this trip a few times before in a 2015 Model S, but never around Memorial Day. As usual the main objectives were eating...

Back in July 2018, I wrote this post: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/my-s85d-and-tesla-life-at-50k-miles.124224/ It concluded with, "Looking forward to the next 50,000 miles." My car (2015 S85D) passed that milestone (100,000 miles) a little over a week ago! Updated stats (and...

Over the past few days (?) I've seen intermittent errors that look like the attached screenshot. I can't find any particular pattern (time of day, type of operation, area of forums, etc.). This condition will randomly persist through reloads but generally will clear if I'm persistent enough...

It’s up! Somehow we missed all the construction. In the parking lot of the Chevron…8 V3 stalls. Bruce. Edit: actually I’m not sure if this is the same site or a totally new one we didn’t know about before. Someone want to try to figure this out and I’ll do thread maintenance later when I...

Can anyone think of a reason (other than heat or system startup) that some (but not all) of the fans on a multi-PW2 system would running at full speed? I have a Powerwall system consisting of 3 x PW2 and 1 x Gateway 1. They're hanging on the wall inside my garage. Inside temperature is about...

We did a road trip during (sort of) the Independence Day 2021 weekend from the SF Bay Area to lovely Portland OR. This was our first road trip since pre-pandemic days. We knew a lot of people would be out on the road so we tried to time most of our driving for what we thought would be non-peak...

Solar City (now Tesla Energy) installed PV system sometime around 2009. Tesla Model S bought in 2015. Tesla Powerwalls bought and installed in 2019. From the Powerwall installation in 2019 until sometime recently, my Tesla app (iOS) showed my car and Powerwall system, as expected. For the first...

TMC California Supercharger Locations FAQ Maintained by @bmah Last updated: 12 November 2022 A compilation of frequently-asked questions, with answers, on the “California Supercharger Locations” sub-forum on the Tesla Motors Club (TMC) Web forums (California Supercharger locations). Much of...

We just came out of a 40-hour PG&E PSPS event that was originally supposed to last around 24 hours. Powerwalls and solar worked great. Our solar system is slightly undersized, it was not designed with this use case in mind. But it was good enough to keep the lights on, fridge cold, and HVAC...

About 10 years ago I bought a 5.8kW system from Solar City (long before they were acquired by Tesla). It came with a little "Solarguard" box, which gets solar production statistics wirelessly from the inverter (a Fronius IG Plus) and pushed them to some server at Tesla Energy so I could view...

TMC is probably a ways away from this happening...I think. Message Boards Bruce.

Just leaving this here without comment: This tech entrepreneur is building a Tesla off-roading resort near Yosemite Bruce.

We did a trip from the Bay Area to Reno over Presidents Day weekend, primarily to see a concert in Reno, but also to log visits to a few Superchargers. Let me say up front that this is not a good example of how to road-trip efficiently in a Tesla, because we deliberately did many more...

Around 0330 local time this morning, my Powerwall gateway picked up software 1.44.3. (I could tell because when it's updating, it stops responding to my data poller for a few minutes, which shows up as a drop-out of data on various graphs.) No release notes, and so far I'm not able to discern...

On the Tesla iOS app, there's a section of the "Customize" screen for Powerwalls where you can enable or disable Storm Watch. Below that is a little icon of a storm cloud and a Powerwall, with some animated circles around them. As far as I can remember it looks and behaves exactly the same way...

I was doing some off-grid testing on my Powerwalls today, and I have noticed some of the time the mobile app displays a menu item and graphic for "Performance" (what I am accustomed to) and other times it has a graphic for "Impact". At first I thought it was because I just had a newer version...

From one of my co-workers on my work's Slack: I've been doing a lot of regex puzzles lately and watching space stuff. Was thinking about having a "\sX" shirt made. Bruce.

What’s the traffic like on the way to Fish Camp from Fresno? Planning a trip starting from Fresno, going up to FIsh Camp for the Yosemite Mountain & Sugar Pine Railroad (which I haven’t ridden for like 40 years, when I was a kid), touch-and-go visit to the Supercharger, and then back to Fresno...

Leaving commentary about PG&E management out of the picture and focusing on technical aspects... I got a blurb today by email from PG&E about their procedures for shutting off electricity to high-fire danger areas to mitigate the risk of wildfires such as we have been having in California. It...

Alright, I haven't seen this in almost four years of Tesla ownership, and I'm stumped. Model S 85D with tech package plus Autopilot (AP1 obviously), April 2015 build, running 2018.50.6, all systems operational. I started up the car this morning and I saw, on the IC. very faint grey numerals...

After about a month with Powerwalls, I’ve come up with a few questions about the mobile app (currently running iOS app version 3.8.3): 1. Am I supposed to get an alert when I lose my grid connection? In various tests I’ve never seen this. I do get charging notifications, etc. for my Model S...

I've been reading this forum for a year or so, and I'm wondering about how the boosters are identified. For a given mission we'll learn that it's booster B1051 (or whatever) that's launching it. So my question is...when the rocket is on the pad and you're looking at it, how do you know if it's...

Weird thing I noticed: The set of Superchargers in the "Nearby Superchargers" section of the Tesla app seems to be non-deterministic, or at least not solely dependent on the car's location. Maybe this is only observable in places that have a high density of Superchargers. I've observed this...

A couple months ago, my wife and I did a 3-day Tesla road trip from the Bay Area to the SoCal area. This weekend (Presidents Day Weekend, 2019) we did an encore of that trip, taking our son this time. This trip was mainly about sightseeing and (no surprise to anyone who knows us in real life)...

My wife and I did a 3-day Tesla road trip in our S85D, a round-trip from the SF Bay Area to LA, over Christmas. The mission priorities were to: Add to my list of visited Superchargers, find some good food, and meet up with some family friends who were also visiting the the LA area. This was...

Any TMC folks going to the NDEW event in Berkeley, CA tomorrow? If so, stop by and say hi, I'll be there for about the first half. Car as per my sig and me as per my avatar. National Drive Electric Week Event - Berkeley I'm struck by the fact that of the EVs registered to attend this event...

One of my co-workers rides an electric skateboard, and I learned today that it has regen braking just like a Tesla. And just like a Tesla, if the board has a full battery, you don't get much if any regen braking. The big difference is that the Tesla also has friction brakes...unlike my...

Three years and a few months ago, I took delivery of a brand new Tesla Model S 85D. Today its odometer passed 50,000 miles! A few stats (as of the end of the day today): Miles on odometer: 50,069 Lifetime average wH/mi: Somewhere between 312 and 317 (uncertainty due to Tesla technician...

I think this is my thousandth post to TMC. Does this mean I can get my pony now? :D Bruce.

I'm looking for some functionality that will help me with this use case: I'm reading threads with unread messages, and I see something I want to comment on, just not right now. Maybe I want to be sure I read to the end of the thread before writing a reply (wow imagine that) or it's too hard to...

This is a stupid, weird thing to post about but what the heck, maybe someone might find this useful or at least entertaining. Before every trip where I anticipate needing to charge (from any type of charger) I put my UMC plus various assorted adapters into the circular bag that Tesla provided...

Got this in my Facebook feed from a local news blog...presenting without comment... Tesla, Prius Go Head To Head In Lafayette – No Fissionable Reaction | News24-680.com Bruce. EDIT: No major injuries, one party apparently walked to a nearby urgent care clinic.

For no good reason, I was looking through the (US) Model S design center this evening (after the removal of the 60/60D) and a few things caught my eye: 1. The roof options are now "Glass roof" (standard) and "Sunroof" (+$2000). It doesn't look like there's a body color roof option. 2. The...
