    Supercharger - Columbia, MO - Clark Lane

    Three in Columbia, Mo. I wonder if the original hotel one on the east side of town will close up. Kingdom City would be a nice add one day.

    Supercharger - Belton, MO

    I know I vote for a Branson supercharger when it’s on the tesla webpage, but I’m noticing that the belton one was never up for voting. Makes me think the vote aspect is just “advertising” touch points with the community and there are plans for everything anyway.

    Supercharger - Belton, MO

    Seems to be a decent fill for the KC metro. Hoping Clinton, MO might get something to help make it to Springfield with ease.

    Supercharging KW Question?

    I am on a replaced (refurbished) battery when my original failed one month within warranty. I think it's Rev C. What's crazy is it was the exact same charging speed and capacity when it came back to me. I was hoping to get lucky and get some fresher pack with more miles. I do plan on using one...

    Supercharging KW Question?

    SilverGS has the answer. It was a software update maybe in 2019? The older S’s have drastically nerfed charging speeds. My 2013 S barely gets 50kW past 40% state of charge and typically settles into the 30s above 50% state of charge. I’m sure an actuary crunched the numbers and by “protecting”...

    Supercharger - Oakley, KS

    Interesting Sonics are the go to spot lately in KS. Will need the shell station across the street for restrooms. Here's hoping Junction City or somewhere east of Manhattan on 70 gets a spot and then the route looks pretty good.

    2013 Model S HID Bulb replacement guide

    I understand your hesitation but if I can do it, anyone with the tools can. The Service Center would be able to take care of you but be prepared to pay for the entire assembly instead of just the light bulb. Which may actually be the root of your light going out, just depends.

    I’m guessing it’s a “soft opening” like a restaurant does.

    60kwh to 85kwh is it possible?

    At this point out of warranty, I’d rather have the option that reduces battery capacity in exchange for supercharging speed.

    60kwh to 85kwh is it possible?

    I believe 85 batteries got nerfed supercharging at high speeds a while ago. I’d look for a 90 battery for chemistry.

    How to: 2013 Model S Door paddle replacement guide

    I wanted to share how I replaced the paddle for the door handle in my 2013 Model S. I did a similar write up for headlights here. I figured if I can do that I could tackle a door handle. Pretty sure most of my handles have been replaced more than a few times under warranty and out. I'm not your...

    Supercharger - Omaha, NE (8801 West Center Rd.)

    If KC has 5 in the greater metro, Omaha could at least have 3. And probably more. The supercharging network is the reason I bought a Tesla over another EV.

    2015 Model S 70 Battery Replacement Options

    My 2013 85 sustains terrible supercharging speed. Will hit 120kW at 1-3% SoC. But anything after 10% and it's in the 40kWs... I am hoping to move to a 90. Hoping prices come down a bit more, or will explore third party solutions like in the shop in Texas or Wk057. Aside from a bubbling screen...

    Supercharger - Omaha, NE (8801 West Center Rd.)

    For those local to the area, is there any progress of late? Headed to Ralston next week and if I can charge there instead of CB that would be preferred. I'm assuming no news is no news.

    2022.40 New Feature?

    Sorry, to be clear I’m grandfathered in FUSC. And in our are the power is charged by kW. But in no way could I say anyone buy an 85/60 battery if they have to pay for supercharging. But as battery swap prices come down I’ll look forward to getting a 90. Love this car and want to drive it to...

    2022.40 New Feature?

    It’s hard to do anything out of daily travel. Thankfully I have a 65mi commute with a supercharger on the way if I’m bored and want a couple dollars of juice. If I had to pay by the minute I’d lose my mind. I got nerfed a few years ago like every other early model S did. Even when my battery...

    2022.40 New Feature?

    If I got a chademo adapter do you think I could sustain 50kW? My supercharging sessions are so so low past 20% it’s painful. I can only travel long distance by myself in the car as no one else in the family has the patience to wait that long. And I agree, it’s a huge bummer. Worse if the...

    2022.40 New Feature?

    I’m wondering if this update will come down to pre-ap cars and in particular the 85 battery pack that has had DC charging speeds at a VERY reduced speed for the past few years at superchargers. Maybe it will boost them back up. After 20% SoC my speeds are between 30-50kW. And lower than that...

    Mobile charger quit working tonight

    Shoot, I wish I would've read your issue because I just posted something similar. I'm getting a green light on my Gen1 14-50 charger but the car will say 'no power connected'. Sometimes it works just fine. What contact cleaner did you use? Did you spray the swap (qtip?) and then stick it in the...

    Mobile Charger Gen 1 repair?

    Thought I was having AC charging problems but a trip to the local service center said the problem was not onboard the car (whew). Backstory: My home charging since I've owned the car is a 14-50 outlet in my garage with my mobile charger connected to it. Been off the plug maybe 6 times since...

    Supercharger - Sioux Falls, SD

    Follow up, I’m at the Lincoln, NE supercharger right now and it’s in the hyvee parking lot. At the opposite end from their doors and I think that’s a respectable placement. Not a fan when EV parking gets the appearance of special parking near the front- that’s not what it’s for. Charge and stay...

    Supercharger - Sioux Falls, SD

    Hoping something on 229 opens rather than that grocery store. Some similar on the side in MN. All the hyvees down near us have them in the parking lot towards the back near the road entrance and seem to be out of the way. But yes, that location plus a liquor store door equals a bad time.

    2013 Model S HID Bulb replacement guide

    Yes, in the mobile app you can ask for headlights to be serviced; the ballast and bulbs. But Filmscore, my quote for that was $1400. I promise before my Tesla about the most I could do on my Corolla was an air filter. If you take your time and have the tools you can do it. If you’re more...

    2013 Model S HID Bulb replacement guide

    Glad it could help! I agree those holes for the bulbs is tight and it feels like you’re just fishing for the right twist. I also agree taking the wheels off is the best bet. Question for you, since I have the tools now to take off my tires, I’d like to rotate my own tires. I was thinking of...

    Happy I could help. Chad at ReelDeal EV bulbs were great. I was worried in my research it was going to be the ballast portion of my headlights.

    S85 Supercharging calculator?- turning lemons into flavored water idea

    No they’ve never notified me. I have my data from teslafi. I’ll hop on my computer and screen shot some examples. Keep in mind my 2013 S is nearing 200k miles. In fact the battery was replaced under warranty last year, but I almost wonder if all they did was open my original up and retighten a...

    S85 Supercharging calculator?- turning lemons into flavored water idea

    I just went back to look on Teslafi. My 50% SoC speed in 2019 was 68kw. Today at 50% SoC it’s 39kW. I think at this point I’d rather change speed for mileage. At 5% SoC my power is great! If only there were superchargers on my route every 75 miles.

    S85 Supercharging calculator?- turning lemons into flavored water idea

    I've tried reading threads and I'm not going to beat the dead horse besides saying my S85 just doesn't supercharge like I used to. What I think might be a different twist is if there is a way those with nerfed supercharging can calculate reliably the time to charge given their situation...

    Supercharger - Topeka, KS - Topeka Service Area

    Interesting to note how close this is to both the original Arby's Topeka SC and the new Lawrence turnpike chargers. Not saying it's a bad thing but I don't think I've seen new ones installed so close together.

    Limited Time: 100 kWh Battery Upgrade (S/X), Ludicrous+ Capable, 2 Year Warranty

    Woah! If this is my problem it's a game changer. I can start out at 117kW if under 10% but will rapidly fall to 50kW and anything above 50% SoC and I'm down into the 30s. I will check into this.
