    Supercharger - Salamanca, NY

    This supercharger is near the buffet entrance, which is not inside the casino area where IDs are checked. Theres a large bathroom and cafe there as well so you can go in there with whomever you'd like. Also, in Waterloo NY at the Del-Lago casino, there's a seperate entrance to the right (as...

    Supercharger - Salamanca, NY

    I called the casino and they said it's not online yet. The delay is apparently because of the recent cold snowy weather. I believe they still need to pave the area, which is hard to do when it's 11 below zero like tonight.

    Supercharger - Salamanca, NY

    I was at the Casino last week and the pedestals were lit up (looking from inside) so I assume that means they're powered on. I didn't think to check here first as I didn't have my Tesla and I assumed this charger was already online. Looks like it's not the case. I'll be heading back there in...

    Strange window fogging

    I have exactly the same problem. I drive for about 3 minutes to the expressway entrance ramp, then immediately my drivers side window fogs and freezes. This has only happened since the weather got cold. If anyone has solved this problem could you explain your HVAC settings? I can't get...

    Anyone else having "Loading Error" with Slacker

    This is going to be a real disappointing user experience for all the new owners out there as my screen reboots every 3 minutes and I can only listen to AM/FM radio. I have had mine for a couple years so I know that upgraded firmware comes frequently... it would be nice to know when that's planned.

    Slacker radio stuttering?

    I agree my slacker/tunein is broken completely. I love this feature I hope it's fixed soon.

    Blog Elon Musk to Exit Trump’s Advisory Councils

    Extremely simple minded from Elon... unusual for him and disappointing. The California/valley bubble must be finally getting to him.

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    I think you're probably right on both counts... Eastview is definitely where you'd want the Tesla store once NYS un-bans Tesla. If that ever happens!

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    Very disappointing to see victor as the "Rochester" choice. Not even in Monroe county and not on 390/southern access. Too bad. Henrietta was the obvious choice.

    NYC EZ Pass

    Mine never works consistently unless I hold it outside my window. Everyone says "not my problem" but it is... If it doesn't scan once you pay max toll for that segment. $37 every time! And they won't refund anything.

    Tesla mounting "aftermarket tires" (also check out this tire wear!!!)

    Poor form from Tesla. Any auto shop can mount wheels and tires for you. Here in Tesla wasteland (250+ miles from nearest SC) they tell me to use any shop nearby to mount tires and or wheels.

    Supercharger - Plattsburgh NY

    It's kind of sad that Silicon Valley companies still don't get how things are done here in New York State. It's pay to play boys and girls. Unfortunately until they understand we will continue to have no Uber, no Tesla expansion... And no fire department raffles. Thanks Eric Schneiderman...

    This is great stuff. I hope the Pennsylvania expansion continues!

    Autopilot bug reports

    Is there an official way to report bugs? My car lost both lane markings in the dash and almost drove me off the road. I was in the left lane and there was a single car in the right lane about 30 yards ahead of me on the NYS thruway yesterday. Light rain seemed to cause the AP to lose the lane...

    CLUNK

    I had the same problem when I hit a pothole and it flattened out a portion of my rear wheel. I'd have your wheels inspected.

    Supercharger - Plattsburgh NY

    Hopefully Tesla just paid the nyseg people who needed to be paid on this one. You can have principles and wait and wait... Or just pay. That said the North country is friendlier than western ny... I think it'll get done much more quickly than buffalo.

    Is Autopilot more reliable in cities with lots of Teslas traveling the highways?

    in addition to inertial data which is probably the most important to nav as its realtime and always available... I'm sure triangulation data and services are being considered via fixed cell towers and known wireless access points. The beauty of an always connected car. GPS is too unreliable to...

    real world all models 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times

    I think a different thread noted the importance of having a full or almost full charge to really get the best performance out of the vehicle. It would be good to note those measurements as well as the times for comparison.

    Tesla Needs a Service Center in Syracuse, NY

    I couldn't agree more that we need one. I spoke to a service adviser this week and if my car needs service but still drive able... It's $3 a mile each way to truck it to the nearest SC. Warranty covers non-drive able issues. After the 50k mile warranty is up... Then $3/mile regardless of what...

    Supercharger - Victor, NY

    Having a quick look at the map.. Rochester now appears to take the prize as largest metropolitan area without a Supercharger in the USA. Very proud... Of our regressive government here which makes things as difficult as possible for business. Especially Tesla but in general any new fangled...

    3G internet connection drops on Model S

    I think the only real fix is to get the 4g upgrade. This problem is super annoying... Every time I switch from wifi to 3G I get nothing. Half the time it comes back and the other half reboot is required.

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    $500. Then nothing apparently because of the communication vacuum. I'll start calculating the opportunity cost on the $500 soon. *edit: without this thread giving me some sort of info I would've either forgotten that I paid $500 or given up by now. So.. Thank you fellow upgraders for keeping...

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    Temporary hold sure sounds like an unforeseen issue has been uncovered with the upgrade. I guess it's better not to be the Guinea pig on this process. Especially 300 miles away from the SC.

    Shoot I picked Philadelphia over Cleveland... That said I can't get to Cleveland till Erie SC comes online or it gets warmer so I guess it's ok.

    Supercharger - Plattsburgh NY

    Queensbury is really good if you're coming from the west and headed to Vermont. The fastest route is through Amsterdam and Saratoga. Nobody goes through Albany... This will save 45 minutes to an hour. It also brings Tesla access to the high peaks and lake placid region. good spot.

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    Devon service center did their first upgrade 2/8. Not sure how many they've done since then, but rumor has it they had about 20ish to do total last I heard. Awesome... Thank you for the update! It gives me hope... Although not too much since this is the same company that took 35 days to ship...

    Pittsburgh Store / Service Center

    Tesla must be building a ring of service centers from 4 to 6 hours around Rochester.

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    thanks for the updates everyone. quick question for those that have scheduled or completed upgrades. do they give flexibility in date selection or is it a decree that they have chosen a date. I'm 6 hours out of the service center that will do the upgrade so need to plan accordingly.

    2016's getting pushed back?

    It's all worth it when it arrives. It looks like my P85D still holds the record of 35 days "In Transit"... at least for USA customers. It's amazing that a car could take 35 days to get across the country... but it did. Boy was I frustrated but I can't really remember it anymore. What I do...

    Supercharger - Erie, PA

    Nice. I stayed there last week in my ICE-mobile. There is a "BEER STORE" at the top of the aerial photograph above. Not that I'm advocating drinking and driving.. but in PA the beer is sold there and this one has a nice coffee shop setup to it with TV and everything. Great location.

    Ludicrous Upgrade Scheduling?

    Since I live roughly equidistant from 5 service centers I picked Philadelphia/Devon for my upgrade. Looks like I should've picked DC which is about the same distance away. Oh well... Ludicrous mode and icy roads don't really mix. I will continue to wait patiently for both spring and Luda mode.

    Hong Kong removes autopilot

    If it makes you feel better the communist government where I live - New York State - has banned Tesla expansion, Uber and now Fanduel/Draftkings. It really pisses me and a whole lot of other people off.... But they don't care.

    Local/Regional shop in WNY to get new wheels/tires

    Thanks for the feedback... I guess I was overthinking it! It's really good to know that the Service Center will support the use of OEM parts.

    Local/Regional shop in WNY to get new wheels/tires

    Since the nearest service center is 4+ hours away, can anyone let me know if they've had good/bad experiences with local shops putting on winter wheels and/or tires. Like, is Tesla ok with it.. do all the sensors work, etc. Not necessarily looking for public recommendations just overall...

    Hopefully they learned their lesson in Buffalo and made friends with Iberdrola workers BEFORE the project is ready for power hookup. Id like to be able to drive to Philly and Scranton sometime before spring!

    Supercharger - Buffalo, NY

    Pittsford would be sheer brilliance for Tesla. According to the Wikipedia wizards: "Pittsford has the highest average household income in New York State, North of the New York City metropolitan area."

    Is Autopilot subject to dirty sensors.?

    Well the autopilot will technically stop you before you crash into the back of the car in front that just drove off the road... Right? I can't wait till it snows... Tonight! Will report back tomorrow.

    That would be great news.. Although I thought Tesla is banned in these parts. Something changed in Albany?

    Is Autopilot subject to dirty sensors.?

    The autopilot doesn't work when it's raining if there is no traffic on the road. Must not be able to see the lines on the road. Driving home today I got nothing unless a car was in front of me. Seems like the the range of the radar is about 100 meters... Picks up cars around that range.
