    Supercharger - West Henderson, NV - Las Vegas Blvd S (M Resort)

    Fence has gone up covering 24+ parking spots on the south perimeter of the parking lot. This is the first sign of progress that I have seen.

    Supercharger - Palmdale, CA (LIVE 19 Oct 2020, 20 V3 stalls)

    As the creator of the aforementioned AV Tesla Owners Facebook group and admin of same until I turned it over to Nikki when I gave up Facebook a few months ago, I am hopeful that any planned gathering of AV Tesla owners will be scheduled and posted here for people like me that are no longer on or...

    Supercharger - Palmdale, CA (LIVE 19 Oct 2020, 20 V3 stalls)

    I'd like to invite any Tesla owners in the AV that are on Facebook to join the Antelope Valley Tesla Owners group - Log into Facebook | Facebook

    Supercharger - Pasadena, CA (LIVE 26 Nov 2019, 24 urban stalls)

    I get free L2 charging at the Holly Street Garage while I work, so doubtful I will use these, but it is great to know that it is an option, if needed.

    Radiator Coolant Leak ($600 Repair)

    As far as I know, no, this is not my radiator.

    Extended warranty? I can't believe it. What did he just say?

    I am less than a month away from tripping the 50,000 mile mark. Please pray for my car to have a long healthy lifespan.

    Radiator Coolant Leak ($600 Repair)

    I have asked the SC, and they have agreed, to hold on to all parts that they replace so that I can take a closer look.

    Radiator Coolant Leak ($600 Repair)

    Sorry, my GI Tract was in emission testing mode and if farts weren't funny our cars wouldn't be able to do so on demand.

    Radiator Coolant Leak ($600 Repair)

    Seems so. I wonder if the loss of coolant had done damage to the battery or motor or anything else would also result in out of pocket cost to fix? Sorry, the radiator damage was caused by an outside influence that started a chain reaction of events that ultimately destroyed your battery and...

    Radiator Coolant Leak ($600 Repair)

    Based on Jan's comment I was just thinking the same thing mrElbe. Certainly cant hurt I suppose. I may spend some time seeing what I can rig up this weekend.

    Radiator Coolant Leak ($600 Repair)

    On Sunday we returned from a roadtrip in our 2016 Model S RWD and plugged the car in as normal. A couple hours later but well before charging should have completed, I got an alert that charging had stopped. I was not able to resume charging from my phone so I went to the garage and found the...

    Random TACC max speed decreases

    Like this? 20180614_180934.mp4 This is on I210 in Pasadena CA near JPL and is very easily repeatable. It will happen in both of the 2 right most lanes of the freeway and the speed limit is 65. There are no over passes or shadows. I have heard about every excuse from Tesla known to man as...

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    Got mine replaced today. Car drives like a dream now. Still sporty and responsive but now so smooth.

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    Can I ask, was the suspension swap all you had done and, if so, how long did they have your car?
  15. C_A_Braun

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    I took mine to Service Center last Friday (Mar 30) as they wanted a test drive to see if I really needed the softer hardware. About 30 seconds in they were convinced that I did. They said that they would order the parts and let me know when ready. They also mentioned that the "Parts are in...

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    I am taking my 3 down to the service center for the first time Friday after running over a ladder on the 14 :( Going to ask about my suspension, so we will see what they say. Are you taking it to Burbank, Agoura Hills or someplace else? Mine has been to service at Burbank 2 times for 19...

    Model 3's Ride Quality

    Az_Rael, I apologize for not reading every post in this entire thread as I just did a search about the suspension issue and this page of this thread came up. The first thing I noticed about your post is that your VIN is 1986. My VIN is 1985. Then I noticed that you are in Palmdale. I am in...

    Current Tesla Owners Who Ordered A Model 3 - Do you have yours yet?

    I have taken ownership of my Model 3. Reservation 4:45PM on 3/31 in Pasadena CA. I was not a Tesla owner at the time. We bought our Model S about 3 months after making the reservation. I got the configuration e-mail on 11-22 and took delivery on 12-26. I drove it for 9 days before taking it...

    Phone Shows Status "Charge Port Door Open"

    So after 10 days of ownership I took my Model 3 to the service center with my laundry list of things to be resolved. On the list was the very first thing we noticed, as we took delivery and that is that on both my and my wife's phones (Both Samsung Galaxy S8) the Tesla app shows that our Charge...

    Guesses on "token of appreciation" for line waiters tweeted by Elon Musk

    If that's the case we already got it. At least we got ours about 18 months ago.

    Tesla owner configurations begin

    Not much but a little more than that. This is 2 weeks ago on a hauler in Barstow.
  22. C_A_Braun

    So, What's Next

    10 days ago, I got the configuration e-mail. Since I have uploaded and completed all the prerequisites including securing financing. Green check marks across the board. When we purchased our Model S we were given regular updates like "Your Model S has entered production and is being built"...

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

    We "detoured" out there maybe 18 months or so ago just to check it out. Even though there appeared to be nobody in sight, we stopped and turned around at the sign that says words to the effect of "if you don't have official Cal-state business here, GTFO.

    That will be a pleasant walk when it is 115゚ outside

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

    When we drove by there yesterday it looked like they were getting close. I didn't think that they were that close though. Congrats on being number 1.

    We had this happen on a recent trip to Reno, as we were stopped in road construction traffic:

    Las Vegas Strip to Mt. Charleston in NV

    We have done this a couple of times. Also Valley Of Fire. No problems from about as far south in Henderson as you can be these days.

    What are the must have things for "Camping Mode" in Model S

    Will a "full" size mattress fit in the back? I am thinking at least a "full" super thick mattress pad, even if we have to curl the edges up the side a little bit.

    What are the must have things for "Camping Mode" in Model S

    Although I must admit that I have not tried it, it would seem pretty silly if someone were able to push the handle and the door open if the keys were inside. Seems it would make you a prime target for a carjacking at a red light or stop sign. I know my camry doors wont open from the outside...

    What are the must have things for "Camping Mode" in Model S

    There are a few threads here about camping in the Model S but mostly about charging at camp grounds etc. Though a quick search also comes up with a few posts about needing an air mattress if you are actually going to sleep in the "trunk" I was hoping to get some personal experiences from those...

    Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

    And how many hours are left in "later today"? In the lower 48, there are 6 hours. If you include Hawaii there are 9 hours remaining.

    Autopilot HW1 or infrastructure improvement

    So, here is what I see. In all the clips where AP shutdown, you can clearly see (on your dash) that the camera lost sight of the lines in the road. This is due to cresting a hill and the camera not being able to see the road beyond the peak. On the last video we can't see your dash display...

    Guessing the reveal event date

    I am going with July 6th. After all, what better birthday present could Elon Musk give me!

    60 to 75: what are you charging to now?

    A 100% charge yesterday would take us to 209. Today takes us to 243.

    So I got my car back from service and the app is stuck in "Vehicle in Service"

    Update: Just received e-mail with invoice from our maintenance last Friday. Figured that meant that the repair order had been properly closed. So I checked the app and sure enough we are connected and fully functional, as we should be.

    So I got my car back from service and the app is stuck in "Vehicle in Service"

    Had ours in for service on Friday. On Saturday I called service due to this same issue. They told me they would verify that the work order was closed and that it should be fine in about an hour. About 30 minutes later they called me back to report that it was a server problem on their end and...

    Pet Names for the Model S

    My wife wouldn't agree with Little Suzi for her Model S. So we settled on the name "Voodoo" since the car has so much black magic built in. My Model 3 will absolutely be named Little Suzi though. For those that don't get the reference:

    The Horn, Really!!????

    How often does someone use their "Hazard Flashers"? Probably less often than their horn, would be my guess. It is not the kind of thing you want to find out has failed though when you really need it. A few months ago (around Thanksgiving), I found out that our "Hazard Lights" didn't work when...

    California drivers: HOV sticker tips?

    I have logged 1000's of miles in HOV lanes for 20+ years with 99% of those being all by myself in ICE, Hybrids that do not qualify for stickers and now in my stickerless EV. I was even one time involved in an accident with an LAPD car in the HOV lane that CHP investigated along with LAPD...

    Vanity Plates

    The difference between those people and I is that I won't bother trying to convince them that they are wrong because I know that they are inflexible and immune to logic and reason. They also know that they will never convince me that they are right but they will try to bring me in line with...

    Absolutely! Perhaps you and I chose Tesla and other EVs or high mileage ICE cars for different reasons. My purpose for purchasing a Tesla and high mileage ICE mobiles as well as solar panels etc is not because I give a $h!7 about the environment. I am (how would you say) a "climate change...

    I like mine (seen in the avatar). I also have NO4N OIL which looks weird on my Hybrid Camry but will make more sense when my Model 3 arrives.

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    We have made it from Mojave to Primm in the fall (this past weekend before Thanksgiving when Barstow was offline) in our S60. I think we could make it on an average winter day between Victorville and Primm. 10MPH wind and 40 degrees avg temp. It would be close according to EVTripPlanner but...

    S60 -> S75 upgrade price reduction

    It is 240 miles from my home in California to my home in Nevada. Bumping my S60 to 75 would mean I MIGHT be able to make the trip without stopping in Barstow 4 times a month as I travel back and forth. Still not worth $7K to me though. I am with most of the others here. Perhaps $3K and I...
