    Looks like two supercharger stalls and 6 wall connector stalls.

    Supercharger - Draper, UT

    Woot. I drive this road at least once a week. Will definitely stop and post pictures as progress becomes visible.

    "Air Conditioning Reduced" message

    Well shiiiit. Answer: it won’t, at all. It starts charging, the A/C compressor groans trying to kick in, and then it stops charging. I am now at the only destination charger within 50 miles, in the only room they had left available. Talk about an adventure :(.

    "Air Conditioning Reduced" message

    Any idea how slow supercharging will be without A/C? I’m on a road trip and my compressor “grenaded itself” (the tech’s words!) on the way out. They weren’t able to get parts in before I have to head back, so I’m going to go at night, but I’m worried it’s going to take hours to charge if the...

    Supercharger - Beaver, UT

    Man, they really need to put more chargers here. On my way south, there were 3 of 4 in use. Now it’s full, and I’m second in line (and my brother will make 3 when he gets here in a few minutes). 4 chargers just doesn’t cut it anymore anywhere except the most remote of locations.

    It was one less. I FINALLY picked up my M3P- yesterday morning. I had to park my trade in in not-a-parking spot, and the 3 in handicap to transfer stuff over.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    Ditto. I’m a June 28 order that was first contacted for delivery in August. Home under construction, and I’m trying to make all the pins fall - in order - within a week or two in November.

    The thing which may prevent truck companies from ordering Tesla Semis

    I think it’s pretty obvious why Tesla wants tight controls of repairs. Look at the body shop situation. 3rd parties that are paying to play, and getting trained, and it’s still a complete shitshow.

    Portable Charging

    That sounds amazing. Until you think about the range you could have if you towed an extra 55 gallon tank behind (or the back of?) a regular SUV. I kinda want to do the math to see which would be longer.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    You should probably leave me out of this. I had a VIN, but voluntarily deferred for financial reasons until our new home is done (which I swear is slipping by a week every week!). I’ll probably be a November delivery.

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    I’m going to cry if that’s an MCRed, white, P, aero. It could have been mine!!! (Which I voluntarily delayed a few months due to financial situation)

    Falcon Heavy - General Discussion

It only becomes a problem when back and forth happens for many pages, with the...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    Wait what? I'm totally planning on putting snow tires on my 18" aeros. Just cause Tesla doesn't provide an 18" snow tire kit, why couldn't I just order https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Bridgestone&tireModel=Blizzak+LM001&partnum=345VR8LM001XL and put them on?

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    Yuup. Editing your design, in any way, is considered changing config. But if you already have VIN and vehicle on the way, they should be able to just flip the switch for you.

    Very loud fan noise from frunk area with AC on...

    44k is a fairly high VIN. The swapped coolant lines only affected at most the first 10k. Your Model S having been driven is likely why it was quieter - a car just sitting there hasn't had any air moving across it to cool it down. I definitely notice my X is extremely loud when it has been...

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    Our destination was Akron, Ohio. About 45 minutes from a supercharger (though it has a coming soon pin in 2019 now). Where we were staying wasn’t convenient to any destination or other L2 chargers, so I’d drive about 10 minutes and “juice up” at a Nissan dealership each night for half an hour or so.

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    I've been there! It's where I stopped to pick up a CHaDeMO adapter on my cross-country road trip this bring. Congrats Garlan! It's been a long wait with soooooo many forum posts.

    P3D with Performance Upgrade and Black Interior status

    ... and I'm now off the sheet. My delivery advisor successfully delayed delivery for me (at my request) until October (after we move): "I’ll unmatch your current Performance Model 3."

    P Delivery -- Good News Thread

    I'm pretty sure I have a VIN, just don't know what it is. Got the e-mail from delivery advisor today to confirm payment and trade-in, and then he'll schedule delivery.

    May AWD/Performance Orders -- VIN / Status Thread

    Plus the time-value of money (saved or spent, depending on how you decide to model the fuel savings or cost of vehicle) if you do it earlier. These are several reasons why I don't obsess over the minutia of cost comparisons like this. I like to know about them, but realize that I can never...

    May AWD/Performance Orders -- VIN / Status Thread

    Line waiter, ordered June 26, P- MCRed/White/EAP. Edit Design disappeared today, and form for trade-in self-evaluation showed up.. Tesla sales must not have gotten my e-mail a few weeks back that I would prefer to take delivery in October/November (due to home under construction at the moment).

    Supercharger - San Diego CA - A Street (LIVE 27 Jun 2018, 16 Urban type)

    Seriously. Actually, at the new St. George supercharger, the pedestals are between the stalls, not behind. I backed in as far as I could because there’s only one lane through I’m front of the chargers before it’s a drive thru for a Starbucks. Whoops! Too far! My falcon wing door caught the edge...

    SpaceX F9 - Iridium Next 56-65 - SLC-4E

    You give Comcast and CenturyLink too much credit for not price gouging or delivering sub-par performance... (that said, given a viable threat they should have plenty of room to improve and still be profitable).

    Utah Tesla Owners

    Starting at $7,500 for a full PPF wrap doesn't exactly seem reasonable. The 3 should be relatively easy to wrap, especially with an all glass roof meaning there isn't nearly as much. I paid less than that to Envision for full PPF + ceramic on my X. Does he do ceramic coating at all? Maybe we...

    Utah Tesla Owners

    LUXE is very expensive, but does excellent work. Envision Tint also does very good work, and is slightly less expensive (that's where I did my X). When I get my 3, I plan on shopping around even more (I feel less like I need an expert to deal with the oddities of the car... the 3 is much more...

    Rumour; european Model 3 will have ccs and superchargers liquid cooled cables

    Except that if you're using an old-style supercharger applying DC to the regular pins, the combo pins won't be covered, and would be energized. You need contactors to keep them dead in that case.

    Sharing Dryer Outlet Needs?

    No. It's the same amperage, just different arrangement of neutral/ground (14-30 has separate neutral and ground; 10-30 only has a neutral). The Tesla mobile connector has GFCI protection built in, so the "ground" actually being a neutral isn't really a problem.

    Does Tesla make money on Supercharging?

    $0. I'm sure they get nothing of the parking fee, and even for 3s that have to pay for supercharging, that cost doesn't compare to the demand charges Tesla has to pay.

    Guesses on "token of appreciation" for line waiters tweeted by Elon Musk

    Ah, maybe you were referring to Model 3 specific promises. Cause yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of other promises from Elon we could dig up that went unfulfilled. Model 3 specific, though, there's also air suspension. But it hasn't passed its "due date" yet. (But neither has Ludicrous, since...

    Highest production VIN in the wild

    And yet according to the VIN decoder document with digit 8 being a B, it’s a Dual Motor - Standard. Which should put the nail in the coffin that the motors are identical between AWD and P. Hopefully that means insurance companies won’t pay attention to the difference either and have a premium...

    Model 3 "Performance Brake Calipers" just red or different altogether?

    Parentheses mine from how I originally read it. It could definitely be taken either way. Elon really needs to work on his modifiers. The original tweet about AWD and performance having silicon carbide inverters has similar structural issues. I don’t really care either way. I’m getting P without...

    spinning combustion chambers to make rockets more efficient?

    This would be absolutely no use in space, as you suggest. There’s nothing additional besides the exhaust gases to push against, so your goal would be to push “harder” against them. I don’t know that even with infinite free electricity you would propel the exhaust gases any faster doing this than...

    If there's a loan, the title gets sent to the lien-holder. Just cause you don't have it, doesn't mean there isn't one. When you pay off the loan, they send you the title, signed for approval to remove the lien. You then take it to the DMV and get a corrected title without the bank on it.

    VIN Assignment

    This post probably doesn't belong in this thread. I'll let a moderator move it. But past that... I've never seen 4/3 NM. Apparently it does exist though. But at that point it's probably better to switch to THHN in conduit, in which case you only need two conductors (plus ground), instead of...

    Supercharger - San Diego CA - A Street (LIVE 27 Jun 2018, 16 Urban type)

    Actually, a supercharger in my back yard would be useless. A supercharger along my desired travel route is quite useful. But if it’s closed when I need to be there — unexpectedly — then it’s useless again. And keep in mind that most of those complaining about it being inaccessible are actually...

    Gywnne Shotwell says there is a market for "private crew" flights on Dragon

    Gywnne Shotwell says there is a market for "private crew" flights on Dragon

    Hundreds of thousands? Maybe. I’d be interested, but even $100k is a pretty big chunk of change to most people, intersect that with those willing to take the risk. I don’t know that I could convince my wife to let me, even without considering this as more expensive than every other vacation...

    Good day to have a Tesla

    Theoretically I should be able to do it with my Leaf. They even replaced my telematics unit (whatever the heck that means) for me under warranty to work with LTE, since they shut down their 3G network. But the car never connects to the network, and it's not worth the pain of dealing with the...
