    Supercharger - San Clemente, CA (LIVE 18 Nov 2017, 49 V3 stalls)

    Great stop. Thank God I can avoid SJC. Can walk through the downstairs lot and take stairs straight up to stores and snacks. Clean and easy.

    Supercharger - Baker, CA (LIVE / EXPANDED 40 V2 + 20 V3 stalls)

    Very windy on Sunday driving back so stopped at this location. Only one other car there...a Model 3!! He was a Tesla employee. Easy on and off, there was no traffic...As for food and bathrooms...it is really not good. Bring your own and hold your nose in the restroom. Restrooms are heavily used...

    Supercharger - Carlsbad, CA (2525 El Camino Real, permit expired)

    This will be ideal. It appeared the the Carlsbad SC was going to be further South with another one located in Vista. For commuters going to Escondido and a few other cities along the I15 this is great news. A quick top off will allow for complete avoidance of the south orange county scs...I...

    Supercharger - San Clemente, CA (LIVE 18 Nov 2017, 49 V3 stalls)

    Supposedly Vista and Carlsbad are getting SCs by the end of the year. All three locations will significantly reduce wait times for us who commute the LA - SD corrider. SJC is a joke. I was getting 24 kw today. They are supposedly doing an overhaul next week to try to get the charge times up...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Got a new windshield last week. I had triple images at night with the old one. The new one has a single image. The loaner I am using right now is also a single image. So it is a significant improvement but still has ghosting.

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Charging rate is about 100kw when the rate is about 305-320 mi/hr.....The point was to show a higher charge rate is available at this sc than was originally reported.. The screen shots provided clearly show amps and volts so one can determine the kw easily based on your formula....

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    very observant...they have not fixed the fact that i have a 90d mx...only charges to 245 at 100%

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    At about 40 % charging at 305 mi/hr.... At about 73% charging at 266 mi/hr. There were about 6 cars at sc but I was not in a paired spot. As indicate by others, the charging rate slows down on any lithium ion battery as it reaches full charge. I would confirm, however, that this sc definitely...

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Thats weird...for sure....hopefully it does not end up like SJC with regards to charging rates

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    I was at this location for 30 minutes charging at around 9pm yesterday. The first day it was open and not showing up on the map yet. There were three cars charging when I arrived and one came as I was leaving. Seems like this is going to be a packed location unfortunately.. I drive from the OC...

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Looks like they added a couple of handicap SC stalls? Not official as no blue lines and symbol on pavement but a nice suggestion for those that need it....

    So as you can tell I was getting about 100kw......

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    Ok so I finally got my car back.....As others have recently indicated Tesla is definitely aware of the problem....I drove my son's X which he claims has no ghosting. It initially did not have the problems with triple vision but when I adjusted his seat to the position that I normally use in my X...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    I have waited for a call for a little over a week and decided to call in to check status. Tesla is fixing the outstanding issues I have had since delivery in March with one exception, the windshield. The service tech told me that they could not guarantee their in stock replacement windshields...

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    No news yet. Looks like this is being pushed to next week. I will follow up so we have something concrete to hang our hats on with this issue.

    Double vision (ghosting) at night through windshield?

    My model X was delivered in March of this year. The windshield has triple images. As others have indicated, daylight fades out the reflections and my polarized sunglasses eliminate the issue. Night time is a whole other story. I am not particularly sensitive but the triple ghosting is extremely...

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Yes you are absolutely right. Was not responding to you per se but the general sentiment that comes across sometimes at these boards....I believe as you do there should definitely be more lower level chargers installed everywhere.....If I could top off during lunch meetings someplace then I...

    Supercharger - Santa Ana, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    David99 hit the nail on the head. There are cheap people everywhere and there will always be people refusing or seldom charging at home when they need to. For people like us who BOUGHT a 100% long range EV BECAUSE we drive between the OC - LA - and SD ... the superchargers are critical. They...

    Range Anxiety 180 miles roundtrip to work

    90D only way to go...I do a 170 mile round trip twice a week from OC to San Diego County. I charge 90% so its pegged at 231 miles when I start. If I can control myself and leave the auto pilot at 72 mph then I end up with 40-50 miles of range left over. When I am pushing and driving my normal...

    Secret Supercharger at SC?

    My app also notified me my car was supercharging at the Costa Mesa Service Center last week. I have never seen one there so I assume it is for internal use only.

    Supercharger - West Yellowstone, MT

    Wow that is good to know...In my model S I avg approximately 350 Wh/mi though. In my model X I avg about 400 Wh/mi... I do drive fast but only about 10 mph over speed limit at freeway speeds.Not sure if I have the discipline to keep it at 60 mph but it does have very large impact on range for...

    Supercharger - West Yellowstone, MT

    This is a critical location if driving to Big Sky/Bozeman from Salt Lake City or Idaho Falls. I also wonder how much battery is used climbing through the Targhee Pass.

    Model X Insurance

    Yea to follow up, my quote for State Farm was adjusted down to 850 for 6 months from their original 1.2k or so. I also checked Progressive at the time and got a quote around 800-820 from Progressive for 6 months as well. These were with 500 deductible.

    Model X Insurance

    I use State Farm for my model X and live in Southern California. I received an $800 yearly reduction in the policy as they only had the signature model in their systems back in April. My agent was able to jump through hoops and after three weeks they acknowledged the error and adjusted the...

    How does Model X drive compared to Model S?

    I have 22's on my MX. Had 19's on the S. I am 6' 200 lbs and found the model S a little tight. I also had a second generation so did not have the upgraded seats. I find that my MX is extremely comfortable....I could drive it all day. My S was not a "D". I notice that my 90D MX is still quick off...

    Midnight Silver Metallic Model X Photos

    I used a crystalline tint on the front windows since this picture was taken. I did see that someone posted pics of a wrap on the chrome to black it out. Looked great. I think that will be my next step.

    Midnight Silver Metallic Model X Photos

    Thanks. No the car does not have a wrap. I just use Meguiar's G17516 Ultimate Quik Wax. Just spray and wipe off after car is washed. Over time it builds up a clear protective layer. Really brings out the depth of the paint. Very similar to a finishing spray I use on my granite countertops. I...
