    Supercharger - Indio, CA (LIVE, 36 V3 + 8 V2 + 2 Urban stalls)

    No transformer on that pad as of this morning. They did bring in two portable trailers with eight supercharger on each. They are still wrapped up but have been wired into external power.

    Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

    I made this trip for the first time in the early morning of Oct 19th with my MS100D. I dropped by the Iraan Energy House for 42 minutes and added 9 kWh for safety while enjoying a Breakfast Taco at the Stripes across the street. Going thru Iraan is only 15 miles farther (233 vs. 238). I consumed...

    Supercharger - Austin, TX

    I think we are still waiting on more equipment .... There is no meter on this "transformer like" cabinet, the slab is too large, there is a black plastic wrapped conduit and a white pvc pipe sticking up.

    Any Model S holdouts out there?

    I pulled the trigger on a MS100D after missing the AP2 window by just a couple of months on my MX75D. No real regrets except that I should have gotten a 90 rather than a 75. Right now Tesla is delivering the Model S in 30 days to Texas. I'm holding on to my M3 reservation (with potential...

    Any Model S holdouts out there?

    I'm talking delivery of a MS100D this Wednesday and I also had been leaning towards Ultra White seats until I saw this video from Bjørn Nyland . The edge wear and blue jean color transfer seemed a bit excessive after only 30k miles. But I suppose that's the beauty of a lease ... normal wear and...

    Help me understand Powerwall2 use case

    Might make sense in some areas where power is almost 'Free' at night and/or have very high daytime rates or with PV Solar without net metering but $6,200 for 14kWh Powerwall = $442 / kWh. That means that even if you charge it with 'free' power that is 'worth' 0.125 per kWh (Texas) you would have...

    If you fast charge, Tesla will permanently throttle charging

    I always assumed that the new 350kW chargers (at least initially) were about increasing the capacity of individual Superchargers when they would otherwise be derated by their paired charger in use.

    Supercharger - Austin, TX

    There was a noticeable decline in the Grackle population around the time that West Nile Virus got going in Texas. According to the CDC ( https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/11/8/pdfs/05-0289a.pdf ) they had > 40% mortality rates. But no worries .... they are back now and they brought...

    I like charging in the shade too but the Grackles also love to roost in the trees in this area ....

    Phantom opening doors

    Embarrassing and scary at the same time to walk up and see a FWD open. This has happened to me twice while I was just inside a business and within key fob range. I must have had my hands in my pockets at some point. The first time it happened while I was visiting a relative at a nursing home. I...

    Water intrusion after rain

    The SC replace one of my seals that appeared to be "dented". Problem solved. Proper shape of the seals appear to be critical to route water.

    Water intrusion after rain

    I took delivery in August. Water pours into second row from right FWD after a rain but left door is fine.

    Model X July Deliveries

    Same here. Confirmed X75 middle of April, upgraded to six seats for July delivery. No VIN. DS says late August production early September delivery. It appears to me that the X90 Orders are going to the front of the line.
