    Rear trunk won't open

    Just joined this club, 2015 70D, out of warranty. I ended up going through the steps on the video to pop the trunk, and once I got it opened, I then pulled the fuse for the power lift gate (fuse #42 in box #2 for 2015 vintage) and now it operates as a manual trunk (makes the premium package of...

    Supercharger - Meridian, MS

    Was there about a month ago traversing Atlanta to Dallas via I20. The mall is open, but on not much going on inside. The Hilton (Tru) is a nice backup, I've stayed there a few times.

    Supercharger - Birmingham, AL

    I came through Birmingham this past Sunday around 9am and was not bad at all. I was on I20 east bound (from Meridian MS) and tried to follow google maps nav on my phone (the in car nav does not show the bridge is out), and ended up missing an exit and had to take I65 south for a bit. I wound...

    Supercharger - Birmingham, AL

    I came through there a few weeks ago from east on I20 and it was not too bad, but don't follow the in car nav, it does not know the bridge is out. Use another nav device. I'll be hitting it from the west on Sunday, it will be interesting to see how to get there.

    Were early 70Ds with 230 EPA?

    2015 70D here as well. 240 was the epa, and charged to 100% last month and got 235 miles.

    Can charge but cannot supercharge

    I had this happen to me recently, ironically on a trip to McKinney from Atlanta. The car had trouble starting to charge at Superchargers along I-20 and finally when I got a hold of roadside they were able to see that the DC charger had developed a 'leak' which I thought was an odd symptom...

    Tesla went offline while on a trip and is not drawing any power. How screwed am I?

    this happened to me as well, the car was at the airport (and plugged in) for over a week and a few days into the trip I could not access it via the app. I thought for sure when I returned that my 12v battery would be dead, but it was just the center screen that went down. Luckily the car...

    Sunroof leaking

    @Whyrad I just dropped off my car, there is not a service bulletin on the pano roof leaking...sorry about that. This was just an issue that appeared on my car, the service tech said it happens to some cars but not a lot.

    Sunroof leaking

    Unfortunately i don’t have the bulletin in writing, I think it was told to me by a service technician when the leak was discovered during my annual service. I’m getting the work done on Wednesday and if I get the bulletin, I’ll post it so you can have it for your appointment.

    Sunroof leaking

    i am getting my pano roof seal replaced in a few days after a leak developed toward the front right driver side on my S, but my leak was not nearly as bad. I think the service center told me there was a service bulletin on the seal, but I’m not for certain. I have a 2015 build, pre-facelift...

    12v battery needs replacing after 7000 miles/9 months

    Dang, I think I remember reading about your dealings with Marietta when you were buying the car (at least I think it was you). Marietta is my local service center and they always seem to be on top of things when I needed service. Sorry for the nonchalant service you seem to be getting from...

    Need advice, first Long drive: Frisco to Birmingham, AL

    I did Atlanta to McKinney round trip last Thanksgiving in a MS 70D and it was not bad. The only nerve racking thing was on my way back from McKinney to Atl, the Shreveport supercharger was shown as down on the nav. That forced me to fully charge in Lindale to try to make Monroe, La which I think...

    Is there a Tesla Wave or hand sign?

    I’m always waving at other Teslas. I came from a Wrangler so the Jeep Wave is instinctive and carried over to the Tesla.

    Metro Atlanta Area Tesla Spotters Thread

    I’m always waving at other Tesla’s, I probably get 25% wave backs. I think a few times others have waved at me before I could initiate, which is always nice.

    Thinkware F750 shutdowns

    I have the Thinkware F750 dashcam on a pre facelift 70D with the hardwire kit wired to the fuse box. The camera goes into parking mode just fine, but only lasts a few hours then it shuts off. At one point, I think I heard the actual dashcam say it was shutting down due to low power draw, or...

    What happens if a Supercharger goes down while your are navigating to it?

    I had this happen this past Thanksgiving, traveling from Dallas to Atlanta, the Shreveport Supercharger went down as I was on my way. The navigation advised me to fully charge at Lindale, TX and skip Shreveport, re-routing me to Monroe LA and to slow down and watch the speed, because I have a...

    Steering rack click when reversing or inching over speedbumps....

    Most likely it is SB-16-32-001, had it done last year to my 2015 70D

    How do you plan to drive your Tesla?

    If you are referring to Peachy airport parking, that place is great...just remember to bring your UMC. I have used it several times and you can reserve an EV spot (there are about 50 spaces) but each time I go they have plenty of open spots.

    Share your holiday supercharging experiences

    Did a round trip from Atlanta to Dallas on the bookend weekends of Thanksgiving. On the outbound, driving west along I-20 did not see a single Tesla until Lindale and the return eastbound I-20 leg saw two other Teslas, one at Monroe and another one in Birmingham. Must seem like a foreign...

    Supercharger - Shreveport, LA

    The supercharger is working albeit at a lower rate, but not sure if it was my State of charge which was about 55% on arrival or the equipment. I ended up messaging someone on PlugShare who charged this morning with no issues which gave me the confidence to stop and charge.

    Supercharger - Shreveport, LA

    As of this morning, the nav is showing reduced power and just called roadside assist to confirm that the supercharger has no power. I'm sitting at Lindale waiting on a full charge to make Monroe in my 70D

    Supercharger - Birmingham, AL

    I successfully charged this morning, and stopped by Octane for some coffee but forgot to bring my parking ticket, and got dinged for the $1.50.

    Auburn or Greenville to Meridian

    I was watching the other thread on the Birmingham Supercharger like a hawk and saw that, so this is certainly good news. Thank you both @PLUS EV and @L.Robinson for the original advice, luckily I can ignore it now :)

    Supercharger - Birmingham, AL

    Yeah, but it is not showing on the car's nav yet. Just overly cautious I guess, but you are probably right.

    Supercharger - Birmingham, AL

    A confirmation would be great @JoshInBham. I'm planning on leaving Atlanta Friday morning to Dallas and a confirmation of this being open will make the trip a whole lot eaiser.

    Auburn or Greenville to Meridian

    Has anyone made a trek from either Auburn Supercharger (SpC) or Greenville SpC to Meridian SpC? I have a 70D w/ 19" tires. I'm planning on Atlanta to Dallas for Thanksgiving and barring a miracle Birmingham SpC turn on this week, trying to work out taking Hwy 80 from Auburn through Montgomery...

    Atlanta to Dallas via New Orleans

    I'm considering a trip from Atlanta to Dallas via New Orleans (and back) in November. Car is a 70D, single charger, 19" wheels. Want to see if anyone has any tips or stories or gotchas to pass along. I plan on breaking it up in 2 days staying at a destination hotel with an HPWC around New...

    OK to use more than one showroom?

    First post too… I’m in the Atlanta area and my first contact was with the Marietta location about 10 months ago. When I was ready to order, the Decatur location was open and a few of the Marietta guys moved over to that location, so I went there to test drive the 70D. I ordered the 70D from...
