I just replaced 245-19 Continental DWS. They had just over 62k miles on them. The S has just worn off and with ski season it was time to put new ones on. This is set number 3, I love this tire, so I'm keeping one as a spare. I get lots of punctures so the tire I'm keeping has 1 patch and the...

Checked last night and the transformer(s) are installed.

Build update: charge cabinets set and privacy hedge planted, no stalls, no transformer, no digging to install buried line to transformer. This was accurate 6/24 at 10pm.

Progress update: The power line from the pole to the transformer pad hasn’t been buried yet. There are flags marking the dig route. Transformer hasn’t arrived (no surprise). The chargers and pedestal bases are in place. There are 5 charger cabinets and 10 stalls. Superchargers.info has it listed...

I stopped by this evening to check on progress. They have charge bay pedestal bases in place with cables coming out of the conduits. Across the parking lot they have the pad for the chargers in place and cables coming out of conduits. Further up the hill behind the building they have a pad that...

I'm having difficulty with the spreadsheet this morning. I open it using the google Sheets app on my iPad and after clicking the superchargers tab (so I can edit my list) I can sometimes scroll half a screen before it crashes the app. The app is up to date so I'm not sure what is going on.

It did, thank you. My family found the map much more impressive than the raw number of Superchargers I've been too. I think it's going to be a very effective way of showing people that there are very few if any limits to what our cars can do and where they can go.

That is very cool! I've wanted to show some of my friends/family the routes I've been able to take and this is much simpler than putting a bunch of way points in a navigation app (simpler for me that is). Thank you. I noticed @Bighorn 's map is itemized by years, that makes a really pretty...

I would love to have such an agreement with cars I pass on the road. Nothing more fun than playing leap frog for an hour with the same car (of course if it's Christy Brinkley in a Ferrari I wouldn't complain). You don't have much to worry about for a while. My next planned trip won't have a new...

If an editor will do the honors I have now visited these Superchargers: Fort Drum FL, Port St Lucie FL, Delray Beach FL, Miami - SW 7th St FL, Riviera Beach FL, Pembroke Pines FL, Marathon FL, Florida City FL, Fort Myers FL, Fort Myers - Dani Drive FL, Sarasota FL, Pinellas Park FL, Tampa - West...

Tallahassee was the only SC I saw shut down during/after Michael. It was back up some time on Friday or Saturday. The pizza place I ate at while charging said they only got power back on Monday morning not long before I stopped. The damage to the countryside and structures from Pensacola to...

I am trying to keep up with my buddy Half Dollar Bill. If someone will update my list I would be most grateful. Corsicana TX, Nacogdoches TX, Alexandria LA, Baton Rouge LA, Slidell LA, Mobile AL, DeFuniak Springs FL, Tallahassee FL, Live Oak FL, Lake City FL, Jacksonville FL, St Augustine FL...

Chester VA after South Hill. One day I'll get an update right. Probably have to do 10 at a time.

Thank you to you and Darren S. It was a long trip, started July 9th I'll get home tonight. I had about 40 miles less than 54k when I started and I'll be at 61,300 miles when I get home. The trip contains a 2 day layover in NYC and a week on Prince Edward Island Canada. It was a lot of fun I...

I managed to make another road trip, added a new country too! @Half Dollar Bill if you would do the honors I have now visited the following Superchargers: Italy TX, Dallas TX, Southlake TX, Lindale TX, Shreveport LA, Monroe LA, Pearl MS, Meridian MS, Oxford AL, Atlanta GA, Greenville SC...

Good price, did it sell?

I agree with both of your points. However the number of chargers visited and the long distances traveled have been very persuasive evidence to friends and strangers alike that Tesla is committed to the death of ICE. And that it isn't possible in the future it is possible now. The number of...

Did it sell?

@ColBatGuano[/USER] - Pleasure to update you as well, sir. Glad you're back on the road. I'm glad to be back driving new routes. Still waiting on that mythical Wichita Falls SC to show up so I can get west quicker. I might have to pick up some south Texas chargers to pass the time.

Silverthorne CO, makes 5

I've added five more superchargers. Half Dollar Bill will you update me. Santos Fe NM, Poncha Springs CO, Colby KS, and Plano TX.

I'm sure someone else can give you better information, but a quick search of www.tirerack.com shows that current model S and model X use the same sensor (#2168). Somewhere back 2014 and prior the model S had a different sensor (#2112). Hope that helps.

I just stopped by the Willcox Holiday Inn this afternoon, it looks like construction has started. No equipment other than conduit, but lots of digging and the charge station locations laid out.

Yes, Madison WI should have been right before Rockford IL.

I too would like to join the century club. If Half Dollar Bill will do the honors my list now includes: West Des Moines IA, Dows IA, Albert Lea MN, Oakdale MN, Hinckley MN, Duluth MN, Eau Claire WI, Mauston WI, Rockford IL, Bolingbrook IL, Champaign IL, Mount Vernon IL, Minor MO, Memphis TN...

Sorry about that. I have been to Joplin twice now. The first time doesn't count because it wasn't open yet. The second time I charged so it counts.

Update request @Half Dollar Bill. Had a fun trip that included stops at the following Superchargers: Joplin MO (I was here the day before this charger opened in Nov), Topeka KS, Lincoln NE, Grand Island NE, Gothenburg NE, Ogallala NE, Sidney NE, Brush CO, Colorado Springs CO, and Trinidad CO.

July 11, 2016 delivery S90D, 25,000 miles, my 100% = 290RM.

I just made that leg westbound (April 27), it took 98% of my 100% charge to make it. The average headwind was ~25mph gusts into the mid 40s. I followed any vehicle that could block wind (spacing 4), stayed at or under 65mph. But if you are looking to be daring and try the trip you can charge at...

PlugShare shows 3 level 2 charge locations in Conway. They are at the Chevrolet dealer, the Nissan dealer, and University of Central Arkansas PE building. These would be faster but you would still need more than several hours on one to get back to Texarkana.

I had a recent trip to Phoenix and decided to be adventurous and take the southern route (I-10/I-20). Everyone thinking of using this route should note the wind speeds can be very high. I experienced 40+mph winds and very high energy consumption. I will try to clear the buildup on 66, if @Half...

I've charged at a number of locations that have the pedestal behind a curb, they work just fine. I don't see that rotating the pedestal 90° will change that in anyway. In fact the two orientations I least prefer are pull-in and back-in where you end up between the pedestals. It may help reduce...

I have 66 Superchargers on 23k miles, and just over 9 months of happy ownership.

Me two ;)

I read somewhere that the rear calipers now have the parking brake in them instead of in a separate caliper.

It hides a computer.

I've read in the past that number/letter stickers at the bottom of the pedestals and the Tesla being lit up are the last things that happen before opening. But they might still need an inspection and meter from the power company. I took this photo of the lack of meter on opening day for the...

If a pilot's good, see, I mean, I mean, if he's really sharp...he would not get himself stuck on 66. However I have a soft spot for 66, I even set my cruise control to 66 most of the time.

21 to add to my list if Half Dollar Bill will do the hard part: Blanding UT, Green River UT, Salt Lake City UT, Tremonton UT, Twin Falls ID, Boise ID, Idaho Falls ID, Bozeman MT, Big Timber MT, Billings MT, Sheridan WY, Gillette WY, Lusk WY, Cheyenne WY, Loveland CO, Denver CO, Lone Tree CO...

I agree, just had to use Denton SC to go north on 287 and it adds an hour+ to my drive plus the charging time. I was only able to make the jump because of warm weather and a tailwind. It was 91° with a 10-15mph tailwind, I left Denton with 96% SOC and arrived Childress with 6%. No speeding or...

Four more if Half Dollar Bill will update me. Cisco TX, Sweetwater TX, Childress TX, Las Vegas NM.

I went by the Arlington Convention Center about 10am today and found that work has just begun. The guy I spoke to said they were hoping to get it built for us quickly.

I am well aware of how the Tesla future supercharger map works. But it is the only map that has a marker anywhere near Wichita Falls. You might also note I said I hope it starts construction soon.

Yes, I noticed it when the Tesla 2017 map was released. I'm really hoping it starts construction soon.

Your Audi had Torsen differentials in the front and rear axle (also in the driveline between axles, if memory serves). The Tesla has open differentials. Watch a few YouTube videos and you will see why this matters on slippery surfaces and in turns. Anytime one wheel wants/needs to rotate faster...

My July build MS has two door stickers both on the driver side. Driver door sill has the tire pressures and VIN number on one sticker. Passenger door sill has safety instructions for rescue workers.

Holiday Inn 3201 Bankhead Dr Little Rock, AR 72206 501-490-1000 south of town by the airport. Two Tesla chargers (64A) and one J1772 (32A). Free to patrons. I have no personal experience with the location but PlugShare shows several Teslas used the chargers around Christmas.

There is a rather unhelpful photo of 'Loveland SC' in the Superchargers app. This isn't the first supercharger listing to have 'off topic' photos. I hope that there is a way to report or flag such photos for removal.

The in car AC charger is bypassed by the Supercharger which is DC to DC direct charging. There is zero effect on your Suoercharging speed.

Manually reduce it on your in car charge screen, the adapter only tells the car what the max possible power is. I believe you should also only use 80% of the rated load for continuous charging, or 25A max on a 32A circuit.
