    Supercharger - Allentown, PA

    You would think the ideal spot to place another supercharger in the Lehigh Valley to fill in the void would be somewhere in Bethlehem near route 22. Now another supercharger near the other 2....

    Supercharger - Morgantown, PA

    Makes Shady Maple that much easier to stop at.

    Supercharger - Prairie Du Chien, WI

    This location is almost smack dab in the middle of the big hole from the superchargers at Lacrosse, Madison, Dubuque, Waterloo, and Rochester. This is good news for me as I have lots of relatives in northeast Iowa, where charging infrastructure is virtually non existent.

    Illinois rebate program

    I had to send in an appeal with a copy of their faq's. The dealer I bought my car from said there was some sort of problem with registration (maybe transfer of my vanity plates caused issues?). I got a letter a week ago saying I won my appeal, and got my rebate check Friday.

    Illinois rebate program

    Did you just take a picture of your plate? I did that and sent a copy of the application, and was denied, even though in the faq's it said a copy of the plate would suffice. I still haven't received my official registration yet, and I bought the car in mid September

    Illinois rebate program

    I got my letter today saying I was denied. I transferred my plates from my Tesla I traded in. So all I had was the application. In the FAQ's it said you could send a copy of the license plate, which I took a picture of and did. Now I have send in an appeal, and say that I followed their faq...

    Supercharger - Easton, PA

    And it didn't take 1674 days (and counting) like the debacle Phillipsburg became....finally the Lehigh Valley has other choices than Allentown.

    Supercharger - Elkhorn, WI

    A couple mile diversion off I-43, but any superchargers on that route are welcome.

    Supercharger - Two Harbors, MN

    It's definitely a start for people vacationing on the North Shore.

    Supercharger - Janesville, WI

    Stopped and charged here today. 14 is even more of a mess than before. But it works as planned, so can't complain there.

    In Illinois you can't have vanity or personalized plates if you own an electric car :-(

    The DMV couldn't find my old plates in the system (they said because it was over a year ago when I switched to ev plates). So they took the letter from above I printed, and put a bunch of notes down for processing. It didn't cost me anything, but they said because it wasn't in the system, they...

    Supercharger - Rockford, IL - McFarland Rd

    When I stopped and charged with my loaner today, I saw all 12 stalls seem to be online now.

    Supercharger - Janesville, WI

    Drove up that way earlier today. Major construction on US 14 is going on right now, so there's a lot of congestion in that area.

    Supercharger - Rochelle, IL

    Although I'm very happy to see Rochelle finally get a supercharger, the location could be better. There are no restaurants near there. Easiest access is going to be off I-88, as it will take you 5-10 minutes from I-39 if you get off at IL-38. But I don't know if IL-251 is still a free...

    Supercharger - Easton, PA

    About time out there. Allentown supercharger is a hike from Easton and Hellertown when visiting, and it seems Pburg will never happen

    Supercharger - Janesville, WI

    Glad to see this going up.....was also glad to see the Woodman's in Rockford get a supercharger as well

    Supercharger - Rockford, IL - McFarland Rd

    Good to see Rockford gets another supercharger. I can't wait for the service center to open, as it's an hour to the Schaumburg one, and about 15 minutes to this future location.

    They're about a mile or two east of West Towne Mall

    Was there Saturday charging. Some guy had a wrapped Model X and Lamborghini Urus.

    ( 2021 ) Tesla Supercharger Expansion in WI

    I wish they'd put one at Prairie Du Chein. If you look at existing superchargers, that would be almost in the middle of the massive hole in SW Wisconsin/ NE Iowa area. But hats off for the progress so far they have made in Wisconsin. It's amazing how much the network has expanded since I got...

    Supercharger - Menomonie, WI

    It is totally the worst. The last time I was there in May, 1 out of service, 1 stall occupied, and my car wouldn't charge on the other 6. I had to do a hard reset to charge, and still wouldn't charge over 50kw. No problems with Mauston, Oakdale, or Madison (at East Towne Mall). The other...

    Supercharger - Denver, PA - Bowmansville Service Plaza

    Is this accessible from PA 625? I see a road on the map there, but don't know if it's gated or blocked.

    Supercharger - Dubuque IA

    Dubuque is part of a big ring of superchargers that leaves a hole in NE Iowa, SW Wisconsin. About in the middle of the hole would be Prairie du Chein. IMO that would be a good spot for a supercharger. Especially when I have lots of relatives in NE Iowa, where even plugshare shows little...

    What are the OEM tires on the 19", 20" and 21" wheels?

    Are the tires staggered like the Model X?

    New Retro 1950's Gas Pump Destination Charger

    What a great place! I was there last week as I was visiting an old high school buddy. It was nice that I could plug in and enjoy some delicious ice cream. Thank you for installing a destination charger there. I love to patronize businesses that take the effort to offer us another charging...

    Supercharger - Dubuque IA

    Drove out there about a week ago. Nice to see they cary beer in the store from Toppling Goliath.....I then stopped for a bite to eat at Lot One downtown, about 3 minutes away from the supercharger...The only thing about downtown is that everywhere is a meter that accepts change only. At least...

    Rockford, IL Supercharger

    I noticed this was closed on my map for a couple days. They replaced the units with newer ones that have the tesla lit in red at night. They also put in 2 more stalls, so now they have 8 instead of 6.

    Supercharger - Phillipsburg, NJ

    This would have been convenient when I visited friends last August, and was staying at Easton. Allentown has enough weird turns to get to that area. Glad to see the network expanding.

    East Coast buyer, but pickup in CA

    I asked about picking up my CPO model S in California (where it was located), but was told by Tesla I would have to pay sales tax both there and in Illinois, as California has no tax reciprocity agreement with them. I have purchased a vehicle in Wisconsin and just paid Illinois tax as they have...

    Dang... PA, WV, MD Superchargers on a roll

    Yeah, nice because I was out that way last week. The falls creek supercharger allowed me to take I80 instead of the PA Turnpike, which was nice (except for the fact that it is at a gas station and there is nothing else around there within walking distance). Went to the Allentown supercharger a...

    Battery Warranty not unlimited miles?

    Except that the cheapest CPO is currently 45k, and cheapest with autopilot is 61k with the 60kw battery. I think the cheapest autopilot car I've seen has been upper 50's. It may change once the model 3 is out and running in full force, but for now you are looking at least in the 60's.

    How to justify buying CPO vs New Model S?

    I bought my CPO 10 months ago, and have been extremely satisfied with it. This is the car I plan to keep for a long time, as now with 4 kids I cannot just go out and trade cars every year or two financially. It looks like cars now with the rear facing seats cost more than they did a year ago...

    My Almost delivery in North Houston today - 2nd build

    I picked up my CPO at Highland Park as well. After my first 2 CPO attempts were in accidents (before they could take those 2 loanders out of service), it felt like I was never going to get my car. I picked up my car the day of game 1 of the Cubs world series (could that day get any better? I...

    CPO

    I have been extremely satisfied with my CPO. I have had it since the end of October, and have put 6000 miles on it already. Hardest part is waiting...it feel like an eternity (although not as long as my Model 3 reservation, as I did mine day 1). I got plenty of Tesla swag, as I got a hat...

    Refusing the Model X at delivery and picking up a CPO Model S, instead

    If you're worried about depreciation, buying a new Tesla is the wrong answer. Anything that costs that much will depreciate substantially in the first 2 or 3 years. I bought CPO because I felt much better spending mid 50's on a car that was 3 years old (almost 100k list) with basically a...

    My CPO Buying and Delivery Experience

    Waiting is the hardest part. It feels like it will never come. Keep in mind I got a call 10 days after car#1 and 7 days after car#2 saying they were in accidents (they were both service loaners not yet out of service). Car #3 took about 4 weeks for me, as it was shipped from California to the...

    My CPO Buying and Delivery Experience

    My CPO guy was really good. he helped me determine what I wanted in a car, and had a large list of cars that weren't listed on tesla's website. And that was with me using both ev-cpo and teslainventory as well.

    Transportation Fee on MVPA?

    It depends on your state laws. I've bought cars in the past in Wisconsin (I live in Illinois), and would fill out a form as to why I'm not paying Wisconsin sales tax on my car (because I will be paying sales tax in Illinois). I offered to pick up my car located in California, but their state...

    My CPO Buying and Delivery Experience

    my cpo advisor was a different person than the delivery specialist, which oversaw the delivery of my car. Both were very pleasant to deal with. All of the sudden I got an email from the delivery specialist, which said he was taking over the reigns from here.

    If not now, then....

    I was rationally going to buy a Model 3 when it comes out....put my deposit down on day 1...then after looking for new news and press releases about it for 2 months straight, I noticed they were selling certified preowned Model S's....then watched the prices come down a bit....then pulled the...

    New or CPO?

    He disclosed it to me up front when I was at that service center. When he would send me weekly listings, it would say if it was a service loaner on the listing.

    New or CPO?

    The first car I bought was on their website, so I had no idea it was a service vehicle. The 2nd one I found from my CPO advisor, as it was not listed on their website. So I knew the 2nd one was a service vehicle. Both had clean histories (well, until the point they were both in accidents...).

    New or CPO?

    Congrats! Hopefully it wasn't a loaner/service vehicle (the first 2 cpo's I bought were, and both were in accidents before they were taken out of service). Now on to one of the longest waits in your life (It seems like forever). But soooo worth the wait.

    Deciding on suspension, how does everyone else about air vs. coil?

    It was really something I didn't care either way. My cpo happened to have air suspension. One thing I do notice is that when I drove 6 people around (2 kids in rear facing seats, 1 kid in back seat, and 3 adults), the ride was really smooth and steady, more so than just myself in the car.

    CPOs will keep unlimited supercharging

    I think this will help sell some "classic" cpo's (like mine), so it expands the number of electric vehicles on the road (which is Musk's goal all along, right?).

    Tesla Model S CPO Website - Now Live

    Well, the 1st 2 cars I had "purchased" were loaner/demo cars. And both of them had gotten into accidents after I had put my money down on them. So evidently they weren't taken out of service yet. One was a week after the deposit, and the other was 10 days after deposit. But I will say I am...

    I just configured a Chevy Bolt. How much does yours cost?

    How long before Chevy confiscates your Bolt, and then scraps it? Sorry, just a little bitter from the way their EV-1 turned out. That set the electric vehicle world back 15 years.

    Divorce and the Big Car Payment

    We were both on the loan. When we traded in the Nitro, only her name was on the loan for the Caliber. As crappy as it was to see 8k disappear in a couple month's time, it was one less thing to worry about, as my name was no longer on the car.

    Divorce and the Big Car Payment

    We got the Mrs. a 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T in January of 2007. March comes and said she wants a divorce. She said she could not afford the payments on the Nitro. So she traded it in for a Dodge Caliber, and my 8500 down payment returned a measly 500 bucks after depreciation.
