I've done this (last time was my last trip before lockdown in 2020, as part of a trip from San Jose to Phoenix and back). I would say to trust your in-car navigation. It knows your status, and knows where the Superchargers are. I prefer 101 as a road in general, but 5 is quicker and has a nice...

I was quite happy with the San Jose to Boise (and back) I did in my X (75D, est 210mi to a full charge) back in May 2017. Sure, it took longer than my parents who did it in their ICE minivan (we went around through twin falls, because that was what was available on the supercharger network). Of...

7. Figure out a way to tell if the drive has been updated and not scan the drive (nearly) every time the car is turned on. 8. Better error recovery (if read error, go to next track).

I did it last year in my 75, but I went through Twin Falls - which, outside of the charging, puts added time on the trip (7:47 total trip). I see there's a charger at the Say When Casino in McDermitt - and that will only 2 hours onto your trip (4:20 total trip). So the long way around has 2...

There are songs I know have images embedded, but are not being displayed. It is pulling all those images through it's own service.

Oh, you mean like The Curly Shuffle by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band?

Here's just an average day of driving around the Silicon Valley in my blue Model X, being followed by a blue Model S and a blue Model ☰. We'd be joined by a black Model X in a mile or so. You really can't swing a cat around here without hitting a Tesla. In fact, my parents have taken to doing...

Yesterday, on our way back home from the pictures, we got in a 3-way formation on an offramp of all blue Teslas. A brand new S (no plates yet) a slightly less new ☰ (with plates), and my rather dirty late summer 2016 X (not visible in it's own rear view camera). Ultimately, this is an "Only in...

Last Saturday we went to a car meetup where the old hot-rods were decked out in lights. We put on the show three or four times in the hour we were there.

I find it curious as Google owns Waze, and the main display map is Google...

Or a house with lights on both sides of the garage. Or parked cars that reflect your light.

I've been having an intermittent issue where it'll take several presses of the homelink button to get teh garage to do its thing. This also affect the homelink button on the app.

You know, it's been a little over a year since I got the X and I can't remember if there's an adjustment or if it was separate guides...

The iPhone X is smaller than my current 7+ (the X is 70.9mm wide, where the 7+ is 77.9mm) and my 7+ fits in the guides that were supplied.

I had delayed notification on iOS 11 (dev build) on the version prior to the current one. Like charging would end at 01:48 and I'd get the notification at 11:09. Current version is back to normal.

Reno, NV to Rocklin, CA. 4602.9 ft drop in elevation, averaging 62 mph. 105.7 miles, 20.51 kWh of driving = 194.1 Wh/mile. (214.38 Wh/mile for all electricity used from charge to charge).

I was tempted, especially with the Ultra-White interior - but that would have almost been expected of me...

I know they unfold automatically as I take off down the street, but I somehow don't think anyone driving with a width clearance of inches is going to be going fast enough to trigger it.

I have AP1, and part of my commute is getting on to a 40mph road, but it doesn't adjust the icon until I've passed the first limit sign, so I assume it is reading the sign and not relying on GPS data.

Not having any issues with the Tesla App on iOS Beta 6 (15A5354b) running on iPhone 7+.

What, not the Galileo (or other Enterprise shuttlecraft names)?

There's another blue X that I frequently pass on a road by my house. We sometimes give a wave, but it is a bit hard sometimes to see the other driver, so I can understand why there isn't a lot of waving going on...

I can access the Summon page with the charging cable still plugged in. You can't summon, but the Homelink button will still work. I do it every morning.

If you have Homelink set up, you can open the door from the Tesla app. Look under "Summon" and then in the upper right corner you should see the Homelink logo (I think it only appears if the car is within the "geofence" of your Homelink profile).

Sadly, nothing special happens when you hit 88mph...

Thanks. I'm pinching the link in the signature idea (love that it's retroactive).

Same with mine. I even have a website for the car.

All the trip planners that I consulted took me that way - probably because that was the only Super Charger route. Based on my data, I'd get about 200 miles on a full 75kWh charge, so the leg between McDermitt and Boise might be a bit nail bitting. Also, the longer charging time on the...

I think that since the factory is in my back yard, the awe of a Tesla is a little diminished. Maybe once the ≡ comes out, interest will be piqued again.

It's not disliking Super Chargers at hotels (it just confuses matters when a destination has Super Chargers, and no Destination Chargers). It's really a matter of time, and safety (i.e.: Being fully rested.) This particular trip (Bay Area to Boise) the second leg was a long one. Between the...

Well this was our first trip with overnights in multiple locations (our first one was an overnight 140 miles away, so a single supercharger stop was all we needed, as the destination had a 110v available if we needed it.) So I'd never encountered what hotels have, or don't have, in terms of...

I will state that a red S came through a couple times during our stay, and a silver/grey S (with stickers on it) was there the morning we left - and we saw that one again in Twin Falls (where we were almost ICEd out by a bus parking across the spaces!) It was a holiday weekend, so I guess that a...

Do you also have the sunshade? If so, put it up in the top half of the window. This helped me to not need as much AC on my trip across northern Nevada last month (luckily, we were only in the 80s).

No, I'd choose my hotel based on charging amenities. Hotels that have a Super Charger were ideal, because I wouldn't have to worry about whether the connector was compatible with my car. On our return through Reno we stayed at another hotel (because the Atlantis was booked the Sunday night of...

Well, maybe we should lobby Tesla to install a couple of Destination Chargers when they install Super Chargers at actual destinations. I'm not complaining about having to stop along the way to charge, but to delay getting to sleep and then having to wake up an hour earlier to finish charging...

The problem is that I'm going to charge up to 100% for the next day, and having rolled in at 11pm I am not going to be in a good mood when at 12:30/1am it tells me to get my sorry ass out of bed to go move my car. So, the bigger question this scenario raises is why is Tesla installing Super...

In another thread some one stated that - per etiquette - you should not leave your car taking up a spot on a Super Charger overnight, but you can do so at a destination charger. What if your destination charger is a Super Charger? I recently did a trip from the Bay Area to Boise, and two of my...

Being on the opposite coast, I thought you were calling the negative Wh/m readings "Finger Lakes"...

I had it happen with AP1 on 280 near the new Apple spaceship (so, in Tesla's back yard). They had been doing work there and had re-aligned the lanes to accommodate. AP1 worked fine there. When it was put back there was enough of the old temp lines to confuse the car (and scare theWife(tm) when I...

I'm still on 8.0 (AP1) and I have that restriction, so it's not new to 8.1.

I quite often use Summon to get the car out of the garage. I use the time it's backing out to put away the charger cable. Which does make me wonder why they bothered with the Summon w/ Homelink pairing. If you're a good little Tesla owner, your car is hooked up to the charger - so you can't...

I went with the Blue with White interior. Might have been a subconscious link to classic Doctor Who ;-)

Or how about "SOLVE 4" (solve for X) or "UNKNOWN" (X the Unknown)

I must have missed this topic when you first posted it, but I have had frequent system requests to reboot the center console. I am assuming it's more a fault with the current firmware, as I don't recall having to reboot before. I've also had spontaneous rebootings while driving.

With Knight Rider, which was KITT, you could name it MITT: Musk Industries Twenty Twenty

Mine (see my avatar) is a SI unit formula equal to T (the SI unit for magnetic flux density, or a Tesla)
