The DMV must have one of the highest concentrations of Tesla vehicles outside of California, and many of them are outside of Warranty coverage. I would really like an option besides the Service Center for small things that anyone with some degree of experience can fix. My own Model S needs...

Had to travel for work last week and decided to try out the new charging areas at IAD daily parking. I went into Daily Garage 1 and headed for Level 3. The green lighting is super helpful to locate the areas with charging. The low-letter (around D-E-F-G IIRC) section was completely full, maybe...

Twice now -- my MS and my son's econobox -- I've bought from Tire Rack and chosen their mobile installer. The work is done at your home (or office) and both times it's been easy and very professional.

Funny you mention that... one of my new Vredesteins got a puncture and a slow-but-steady leak. That clinched the decision to put on the Sottozeros. The timing worked out too; yesterday seemed like the first really wintery day on the roads (and potential snow next weekend!). They are, however...

I've had my 2013 Model S (RWD) for seven years now, and most of those years I've swapped to a set of Pirelli Sottozero tires for the winter. I have them mounted and balanced on a spare set of wheels, so it's easy to do the changeover myself. I know that they theoretically grip cold surfaces...

I purchased a pre-owned 2013 Model S in August of 2016. At the time, the car had 41,000 miles. I was told that as part of the CPO refresh (yes, back then there was a true CPO program!), the battery coolant flush/replacement had been completed prior to my taking delivery. I believe that was...

Wawa Grand Opening is tomorrow (Thursday, September 1). Hopefully the SuC will be up and running! Also, the Wawa is offering free coffee for the first ten days they're open.

This is a good location within Cardinal Forest. Easy in/out of the lot, but in an area that typically isn't crowded. And easy to walk to McDonalds, Panera, Whole Foods, and the various offices (including our pediatrician) across Traford Ln.

Here's the thread: Supercharger - West Springfield, VA

I've had mine done several times at Cardinal Plaza Shell in Springfield. They know Teslas. Bonus, that parking lot is supposed to be getting a Supercharger soon.

Wow! This was my grocery store when I lived in West Springfield. Now I'm about 5 miles away but this still might be the most convenient SuC to me. PS: the Cardinal Forest Shell station is one of the places I trust to do the annual Virginia inspection on a Tesla.

For anyone keeping score at home, my car is back in today for a new screen. They agreed to cover the part but charged me for the labor, claiming "there's nothing in the eMMC recall service that could have caused the bubbles" but they were trying to be generous. Whatever, I'll live with it. I...

I don't believe so. When I picked up the car immediately after service, there were bubbles near the left edge of the screen. Over the next day or two, they migrated to the top. The fact that the bubbles appeared in a different position than where they usually end up suggests to me that they were...

I made a service appointment for the eMMC daughterboard replacement, and asked that they upgrade 3G to LTE at the same time. The service was completed in one day ($200 for the LTE upgrade) but when I got the car back, there were bubbles in the screen (had never had bubbles prior to this) and...

I went by there last week and based on the activity I saw, I would guess that the petroleum tanks are now in the ground on the east side of the lot. Nothing listed yet in the Coming Soon section of the Wawa website. Guessing Spring 2022 for the store & gas station; hopefully not to long after...

I have a 2013 MS 60 (pre-AP), and I'm pretty sure it's done this as long as I've owned it. After starting up, the first time the car hits 25mph, there is a subtle single "beep" sound. It's easiest to hear with the radio off & HVAC off. It doesn't seem to come through the speakers but maybe comes...

I have not made any progress... Still have the cracked unit as well as a newer one (which I'm using exclusively). Good luck!

Just curious how many owners of early (not updated) MCUs have had the eMMC recall performed. I received the email in February advising that I'm part of the recall and that I'll be contacted when parts are available for my eMMC/daughterboard upgrade. Haven't heard anything since. Been patiently...

The site plan shows eight spaces on the West side of the lot designated for third-party EV charging.

Moderator note: The first dozen or so posts in this thread were moved from the original Fairfax, VA Supercharger thread. Excited to reawaken this old thread of mine... We were driving on Route 50 tonight and my wife pointed out that there's a Wawa going in just west of Fairfax Circle, at 9700...

Thought I'd rekindle this 3+ year old thread... the new map updates now show Q4 2021 as the target date for Fairfax SuC.

I've stopped using this as I have a spare (Gen 2) wall connector. But I'd like to still have two usable WCs, and I'd prefer to be able to use the higher-amperage Gen 1. Can this be fixed?

I'm having some related issues on my 2013 S 60 MCU1 (3G). Streaming (Slacker) won't launch any stations; Spotify just spins indefinitely, but I've got an added twist: All audio seems to intermittently go out for about 5-15 seconds out of every minute. This includes both FM radio and the turn...

I think we've probably alleviated OP's concerns at this point, but just to hammer the point a little more, these are maps of the two areas in question at the same scale.

For what it's worth, I bought a used 2013 Model S in 2016. It came with those same base wheels. Eventually, I bought a set of 19" slipstream wheels. I use them most of the year, but have winter tires mounted on the original base wheels. Twice a year, I change them over. Every time I change...

You know, I have a pretty high data cap on mobile hotspot via my iPhone and it never once occurred to me to connect the car that way for faster streaming. Great advice, thanks!

What should I do? Here's my situation. Took delivery of a CPO (back then, it was still CPO) 2013 (pre-AP) Model S 60 in September of 2016 with 4 years of warranty. My MCU is still working with occasional glitches. Maybe once a week there's a major enough glitch that it either spontaneously...

Tried to charge here on December 15 while visiting family. Charging failed twice on Number 2. We had lunch at the Cosi up the street; when I saw in the app that charging had stopped, I walked all the way back, unplugged and replugged the charger. Saw that charging had started and walked all the...

Thanks! I'd undergone an engine rebuild shortly before I got the Model S and installed a home L2 circuit. So I'm keeping the 914 relatively true to its era for now. (It's actually stuck in the garage with a dead fuel pump at the moment.) Here's a favorite photo, "2 cars, 4 trunks"

My first winter owning my Model S (RWD), I got nervous and bought a set of Pirelli Sottozeroes from the Service Center. It became a pain having each set of tires mounted & balanced once a year, so I found a good deal on a used second set of wheels (which, to my surprise, came with almost new...

Intermittent Headlight The right headlight of my 2013 (Pre-AP) Model S intermittently shuts off. Happens whether on Auto or turned on manually The in-dash "matchbox car" correctly shows status; headlight shows off when it's off (left remains lit) Cycling the headlights always brings it back...

Last year, I booked an RV campsite at Point Lookout State Park at the Southern tip of St. Mary's County, MD. My plan was to camp on the eve of a rocket launch from Wallops Island and wake up early enough to watch the launch. I even bought the correct adapter for older RV outlets...

My CPO (back then, it really was) took four weeks to get to me in Virginia from NY/NJ area, but along the way they were kind enough to repaint the front & rear bumpers. It was delivered with a lot of stone chips in the paint on the front hood; I was advised that was "priced in" to the sale price.

Really just semantics, isn't it? Their used inventory still touts a 70-point inspection and warranty coverage.

Re-awakening an old thread as it's on-topic for me. My 2013 S60 has 3G and it's generally sufficient, but definitely slow and inconsistent. Will Tesla eventually be forced to upgrade the service to LTE for these early cars (at their cost)? Consider that they push software updates over the...

If you've never been to Katie's Cars & Coffee before, plan a couple hours to walk around and see the 300+ cool vehicles that typically show up. Great time, relaxed people hanging around cars that range from "kinda cool" to million dollar+ rarities. Unfortunately, I can't make it this weekend...

A friend of mine has a Model 3 in Arlington with a NEMA14-50 on the outside of his house. He runs an appropriately heavy extension cord to charge while street-parked. Very similar situation to yours. I don't think he's had any trouble.

My default in V8 was camera on top, media on bottom. I rarely used Nav because I prefer Waze (on my phone, mounted next to the MCU). I resisted going to V9 until this mode was replicable. V9 has the Nav as the MCU background at all times. Opening Media and/or Camera shrinks the size of the Nav...

Is it possible that Range Mode was switched on?

In addition to what's been mentioned here: My S would leak through the Pano Roof in touchless car washes. It would drip through the rails or the rear-seat reading lights (weird, yes). The SC kept it for over a week and replaced the appliques on either side of the glass, and it seems to have...

Curious if others have experienced similar, Search turned up no solid results. I've owned my 2013 S 60 for over two years, and in all that time I've frequently had an issue where the rear camera fails (shows only a blank/dark window) in cold weather. I reported it when my car was in the Service...

Just a point of comparison: I bought a 2013 S 60 a couple of years ago with 41,XXX miles. I routinely charge to about 85%, which gives me rated miles of 168-170. The car now has over 63K miles. I've range charged exactly once, and it topped out at 198. For what it's worth, I usually charge...

For what it's worth, I installed V9 the day before I went on a business trip. About 2 days later, while still away, I got the notification that another SW update was available (2018.42) and set it to install remotely via iOS app. So in total, I probably drove for about 2 hours with V9 before I...

I just want a nice looking "bowl" (perhaps with a lid) that is RF shielding / Farraday Cage, where I can drop my keys inside the house to prevent Relay attacks in my driveway. Anybody found anything other than key pouches?

I was lucky; upgraded to V9.0 just before leaving town for several days on a business trip. Before I'd returned, I'd already installed 2018.42 via the iOS app. I'm pretty satisfied with the flexibility of having Rear Camera over Media, bonus of having several settings for how...

Just curious, what is the likelihood that future models include some sort of biometric sensor(s) to deter theft & unauthorized usage? Could even make Valet Mode automatic if the driver isn't recognized by biometrics (but the key is present). Or require PTD if biometrics aren't recognized...

My most common driving configuration is Camera on top, Media player on bottom. I'm not thrilled with the solution, but it sounds like it will work for me. I have not yet installed V9, so I will wait until 2018.42 goes to broader release. (Will 2018.42 get pushed to me if I'm still running V8...

I've still not received the V9 push, and will decline to install once I get it... am I the only one? Has the mothership matched up my VIN to my pre-emptive complaining, and withheld the software push? :D (I did submit comment to [email protected] with my VIN, so perhaps they did...)

I think that's the wrong analogy. You're not a paying passenger in this instance, you're the pilot. It is your job to setup the vehicle to take you to your destination. You need an interface to tell the vehicle where you want to go, and potentially have some input on the route it selects (for...

Sure you do. With FSD, it becomes critically important that Driver & Vehicle have a way to interface regarding destination and routing. With manual driving, the car presenting a map is purely informational, and optional, for the driver.
