    US Superchargers open to CCS vehicles

    You are correct, I'm getting ahead of the problem and hopefully it will all work out ok. But I'm skeptical. : )

    US Superchargers open to CCS vehicles

    I certainly hope so! Right now I would be reluctant to take a long road trip if I can't rely to having prompt access to Superchargers. I've driven the I-5 and I-80 corridors on many long trips, and it's great right now. Please Tesla, don't ruin a good thing.

    US Superchargers open to CCS vehicles

    It's also strange that the pedestal is installed with the cable and charge-handle attached on the opposite sides of the SC compared to where they normally are.

    US Superchargers open to CCS vehicles

    Tesla's big advantage over other EV's has always been the Supercharger network and the simplicity/reliability of the charging process. By opening up the network, in the manner that they are doing it, they eliminate their advantages and punish Tesla owners. I really don't get it. If they wanted...

    83" box in cargo area

    Do like they do in the rest of the world. Tow a small trailer for those items that won't fit inside. Or find a friend with a R1T.

    Tesla model 3 SR+ 20k miles in SAN DIEGO

    Whatever the final price is, they are getting a nice car! Very few cars match this one.

    Costco Tire Replacement Policy

    I have been told the same thing at Costco in relation to another all wheel drive vehicle, so it may not be related to Teslas specifically. I recently had one tire on our Tesla get damaged by a road hazard and it was not repairable. So, I went to America's Tire and they were willing to install...

    PPF and Ceramic Coating options in Bay Area

    Joe is definitely OCD, but it’s OC Detailing for the business name. I can also vouch for the quality of their work! Highly recommended.

    Western Canada Superchargers

    They park there without plugging in to avoid getting charged. This has been going on for years now.

    Western Canada Superchargers

    I've been using that SC on road trips for the past 6-years and I can confirm they are often blocking. They seem to like to park there and not bother to plug in. Hey, no idle fees that way, right? At least that's been my observation on the few trips through Kelowna that I've made. Pretty lame.

    Anyone have experience with Bridgestone Quiettrack tires

    So far, so good. I've put almost exactly 40,000 miles on the tires (still plenty of tread left, still good road manners) and I have not seen a drop in efficiency. I watch my average efficiency numbers when we travel, and as an example, I just completed a 3,400 mile road trip through high...

    Supercharger - Harrisburg, OR (LIVE May 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Friday, 5/27/22 @ about 11:00. The supercharger is now live and on the navigation screen. I was heading to Springfield and brought up the supercharger list to see how busy it was and noticed Harrisburg which I couldn't recall seeing before. Figured I better check it out and arrived (according...

    3M Crystalline Windshield Woes

    I had similar issues in a model s, it had to be re-done and that fixed the problem. A few years later, the windshield was replaced and I used a different installer, Walnut Creek Customs, to do the tint on the new glass. They did it right the first time. Highly recommended. They are very familiar...

    12 Volt Battery Replacement

    The repair quote today was $165 for the battery and $63 in labor. Plus about $17 in tax for a total of $245. The appointment today got moved to Friday due to a scheduling issue on Tesla's side.

    12 Volt Battery Replacement

    Just got the 12v warning on the display. Not bad considering I'm still on the original 12v from 2015. Scheduling with the mobile app was easy, it suggested the 12v replacement based on what the car was telling me and they had a next day mobile service appointment.

    Supercharger - Trinidad, CO

    Could not agree more! We did a Western States road trip last summer and this was the worst pit-stop of the entire trip. The restrooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned all summer. It's really too bad they didn't locate this one in the downtown area of Trinidad which looks like it has a lot...

    Charging near Glacier NP?

    As much as I love road trips in a Tesla, last summer we left the Tesla at home when we spent a week in Glacier. There are charging options, but none are superchargers and I didn't want to spend any extra time away from the park activities dealing with L2 charging. Last summer was quiet too, so...

    I-5 Grants Pass, OR to Springfield, OR ABRP says not a valid route

    I wonder if you should check your ABRP settings for reference consumption, speed, extra weight, etc. That doesn't sound like too difficult of a gap to cover in a 75D. It is the longest remaining gap on I-5, but I've never come close to not being able to cover it on many trips through that area.

    California Supercharger Locations FAQ

    Bruce, great work on this! Very informative. The one item I would suggest is adding some information about using PlugShare to check-in and share information about different locations. I used to find a lot of great information about locations in areas that I don't normally visit from regular...

    Supercharger - Monterey, CA (Del Monte Center, LIVE 10 Aug 2017, 10 V2 + 4 V3 stalls)

    I've been through here several times in the past couple of months and it has been consistently busy. But, I have only once waited 10 minutes to get a stall. It feels like it is operating at just below capacity, so I wouldn't worry about being able to charge. Plenty of good places to eat while...

    Tesyota? Is that a thing? What do you make of this report that there could be a partnership with Tesla and Toyota?

    The second generation Toyota RAV4 EV (2012-1014) was a joint project between Toyota and Tesla with the battery and powertrain produced by Tesla and shipped to Toyota for assembly in Michigan. It was strictly a "compliance" car sold in California.

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    Yes, that’s what they told me to prepare for when they started the work but it ended up being done by the end of the day. They didn’t upgrade the firmware to the current version when they finished but that was easy to do at home. It seems like the firmware part of the eMMC replacement process is...

    Preventive eMMC replacement on MCU1

    I made an appointment with the service center to get the eMMC replaced. They delayed the appointment after I scheduled it due to not having the part in stock. The appointment was rescheduled for yesterday and the work was completed by the end of the day. My service invoice shows that they...

    Back in August 2017 we were on the final stretch of a 14-day, 3300 mile road trip when we arrived at the Supercharger in Mt. Shasta, CA in the early afternoon. Prior to this, I'd been lucky and never waited more than 5-10 minutes to connect at any Supercharger.... There were 15 cars waiting for...

    tesla center display storage device degraded

    I upgraded to FW 20.40.9.2 yesterday and got the same warning displayed today. I'm wondering if they added to something to the latest FW to detect the problem proactively. I'll schedule a service visit and see what happens. Maybe they were waiting for parts availability before they started...

    Supercharger - Monterey, CA (Del Monte Center, LIVE 10 Aug 2017, 10 V2 + 4 V3 stalls)

    Was charging here last night and found that they have installed a few extra urban superchargers for the Thanksgiving rush. The SC’s are the temporary units on pallets with 3 urban supercharger stations per pallet (although only two are active due to parking constraints). Looks like the type of...

    QuietTrack vs Avid Ascent GT vs PureContact LS tires, which is most efficient+quiet?

    No, all of my previous tires did not have the acoustic treatments that some of the OEM tires come with. New tires are usually quieter though, so some of the positive effects are undoubtedly due to the age of the tires. I’m still very happy with the quietracks.

    Tires rubbing only when in reverse

    Check the alignment again. I've been dealing with this for several months and brought the car back to Tesla today. A senior tech suggested checking the alignment. It was off and, once it was realigned, the problem is fixed.

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    This morning I charged to 95% on a HPWC and disconnected the charging cable. The car continued to make a whirring noise, which I assume is the coolant pumps, and when I returned home 12 hours later the pumps were still running. The battery went from 95% to 90% during that time, so the power loss...
