    Supercharger - Fargo, ND

    For what it's worth, I scouted the Jamestown supercharger location for signs of their equipment last night and did not see anything there. Although it's entirely possible they left their equipment in Bismarck since they are taking this week off.

    Supercharger - Dickinson, ND

    Haha, whoops. Well that’s even better. I was there yesterday and noticed some green spray paint near the supercharger area. There’s weren’t any other markings that I could see.

    This summer is not off to a very encouraging start.

    Rumble after update

    Lane departure warning may have been switched on by the update. Check the settings under the autopilot tab. People have described this as feeling like driving over a rumble strip.

    North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Here’s the specific thread on Twitter where this guy who claims to have a Tesla source was posting. His username is NetBrown. Link

    North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Here’s a source. This was posted on reddit I believe 3 days ago. The guy who posted it says his friend works for Tesla and have him the info. To be fair he also posted a whole bunch of very detailed info about the v3 superchargers which turned out to be accurate.

    What Wh/mi are you getting with AWD and P cars?

    I was in the same boat as you (AWD 19” rims, but non performance). I was averaging 342 wh/mile until I hit over 500 miles. Seems to be some kind of a break in period. I’m guessing it’s the tires. Once I hit 500 miles I drove 100 miles on the interstate at 75 mph with 260 wh/mile. Also at 55...

    What Wh/mi are you getting with AWD and P cars?

    Good to know. Thought I read somewhere about a break in period but couldn’t find that thread again. Thanks for the info.

    What Wh/mi are you getting with AWD and P cars?

    I have a little over 300 miles on my AWD model 3 and I'm averaging 342 wh/mi. Is there some sort of a break in period where the efficiency will get better? I took a 200 mile road trip driving 75 MPH, weather was 50 degrees, no wind, no heat on in the car. Wondering why my efficiency is almost...

    LOW VIN!!! Should I be concerned?

    Did you just inform your delivery advisor That you would reject that early vin car? Did they charge you a cancellation fee?

    LOW VIN!!! Should I be concerned?

    If I have white seats, wouldn’t that for sure get me gen 2 seats? Am I correct that white seats came out after the update from gen 1 to gen 2 seats?

    LOW VIN!!! Should I be concerned?

    Just got assigned my VIN in the 9xxx range, as in nine thousand. Kind of confused as mine is AWD and white seats. Does that mean my car was one of the first 10k made and then retrofitted with AWD and white seats? Should I be concerned?

    Wow I was literally just about to order too. This makes me wish I would hand pulled the trigger earlier

    Anybody ever received a reply from emailing the Tesla supercharger email address? Can’t remember how many emails I’ve sent them over the last couple years and never had a response.

    Supercharger - Alexandria, MN

    This is deeply disappointing news. I wish they would just skip Alexandria for now and finish the I-94 and I-29 routes as they've promised. Finish Alexandria (or nearby) later when they get things sorted out. At least this way would make travel possible for us in North Dakota who have been...

    How can I add OEM cup holders on the rear seat of my Signature S?

    Sorry my fault. It’s evampedup.com

    How can I add OEM cup holders on the rear seat of my Signature S?

    Evamped rear ludicrous console. You can get a version with LED lights and 2 USB ports. Evamped.com I bought both their front and rear consoles and highly recommend them.

    Tanaka recall

    I had my Takata airbag replaced by a ranger in my garage. Took just under 2 hours for him to complete the work. I’m sure it would be even quicker than that at a service center.

    North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Great so hear of some progress being made! According to this article the Spearfish Supercharger went from conversations with the property owner to completed construction in a little over 3 months. Probably wishful thinking on my part, but maybe by the end of spring/early summer we will see...

    You could also look at Dickinson as Wind Energy country. The 2 largest wind farms in North Dakota are near Dickinson. Brady Wind farm is the 2nd largest and is just South of Dickinson. The largest wind farm is Bison near New Salem, about 60 miles East of Dickinson. The oil epicenter of Watford...

    EVamped Consoles Review

    I know this thread is about the console, but I have to give a shout out to Evamped on their awesome drawer! Here’s a couple pictures of the drawer I ordered. Snaps into place very well, was the lowest price drawer I could find, and the carbon fiber matches perfectly. Very happy with my drawer...

    Takata airbag recall

    That’s interesting that a ranger was able to replace your airbag. I called Tesla last week to inquire about a ranger replacing mine and was told the repair is too extensive and I would need to bring my car into the service center. Only problem is I’m over 500 miles from a service center. Also I...

    North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    I see Tesla updated their supercharger map on their website. All North Dakota superchargers now say "Target opening by end of 2018". I don't remember for sure, but it looks like they added a lot more locations along their trans-canada highway route Elon recently mentioned on Twitter as well.

    North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    This is great news! Has anyone heard anything about the Alexandria, MN location? I imagine they would be opening that one around the same time. And then hopefully they keep working their way West down I-94.

    Mine is also now working properly again! Came here to look if anyone else noticed this in the last couple of days. Have not had a software update in over a month.

    North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Should we be concerned with Tesla's updated supercharger map? A lot of the future locations out West say "target opening by end of 2017", whereas the North Dakota locations just say "target opening date to be determined". Some people on the official Tesla forums were speculating that Tesla is...

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    No notifications here, I just check ev-CPO from time to time and it was just added a couple hours earlier. Just good timing I guess. Had to take a screenshot of that one the price was pretty surprising. Somebody got a heck of a deal.

    North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    I can't imagine Tesla wouldn't want to install superchargers in North Dakota before the Model 3 Reveal. Wouldn't that be a big point of pride for them, being able to say that they have the entire contiguous United States covered by their supercharger network?

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    Just saw a 2014 S85 CPO with autopilot was listed for $52,500. 42k miles. Very good price for AP1 and the cheapest car with AP available by about $12,000 at the moment. Someone's going to get a steal. 85 kWh Model S 5YJSA1H19EFP57495 | Tesla

    North Dakota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    I just listened to Ed Gruchalla and Paul Jensen of the C.L.E.A.N. team doing a radio interview on KFGO about their EV charger proposal. Just wanted to thank them and their group for taking the initiative on this proposal. Of the $7.5 million coming to ND from the settlement, 15% ($1.125...

    Interested in a MS, but I live 115 miles away from service center. Should I be concerned?

    I live over 500 miles from the nearest service center. Also I don't live within range of a super charger (although Tesla's site says they are building some near me this year). This doesn't bother me, as I'm hoping to have relatively few issues with my car. And if I do have an issue, I've heard...

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    My CPO arrived today, from Fremont (where I've been hearing some of the CPO issues originating). Mine is nearly flawless. The biggest problem I've noticed is they gave me 2 Nema 6-15 charging adapters instead of an adapter for a regular wall outlet. I looked over the front end and couldn't find...

    Would you buy a CPO without Autopilot?

    Of course I would (and I did). You need to decide if autopilot is a feature you need or one you can live without. For me, I drive in the city 98% of the time. The 5 or 6 times I year I do go on road trips I can do without autopilot. Of course I'd like to have it, but I look at the monumental...

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    That's good to know. I've been trying to tell myself that as well, that every day it takes they are putting more work into getting me a car in very good condition. Just an update on mine, they gave me a new ETA of mid next week, which will put me at 6 full weeks. I'm assuming it'll take another...

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    I initially asked for the carfax and some pictures of the car and was given those right away. Since then the communication has been lacking. I asked a few times for the list of repairs and haven't yet heard back. All my DS will say is they are working on it and he will let me know when they have...

    10,000 miles in 15 days - Lessons Learned in Long Distance Travel

    Great write up! One question though, what do you mean by range recovery? You mention you're able to go from 6% charge up to 12% by using this method?

    Awesome! Congrats on the purchase of the X. Would love to get an X someday. But for now I'm glad to at least get into a Tesla with these CPO prices making the car a possibility for me.

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    How long did it take everybody to receive their CPO from ordering to delivery? Just wondering as I placed my order on June 28th, and was given an estimate of 3 to 4 weeks. Then in early July my D.S. said they estimated repairs would be finished by July 14th or 15th. Since then I've heard next...

    [RESOLVED] CPO Delivery Dilemma! Big scratches and Tesla says they won't repair.

    As someone who is also waiting to take delivery of a CPO car, this thread is very reassuring to me. It's good to hear that Tesla will do their best to make things right and not just wash their hands of the whole situation.

    Sudden Inventory drop on EV-CPO.com

    Just speculation here, but I'm wondering if part of it is due to a backlog at their service centers? I did order a P85 CPO about 3.5 weeks ago. I was told expect 3-4 weeks until the car would be delivered, but I've heard almost nothing about the status of the refurbishment. They said they...

    It looks like one sold, and then they added another one today. So it looks like 2 out of the 4 were grabbed, but then they added one more.

    I haven't had much for negative comments so far. Almost nobody knows about Tesla where I'm at, so the more they ask questions and the more I answer they all seem to be impressed and even more interested in the company. I feel like Tesla's unspoken business model is "make a car so damn good you...
