Add me to the list . I just stopped it from closing with my hand after it opened and l plugged it in. I;m sure I;ll pay for that tomorrow, but it's charging.

In summary of my post, I think (and agree that) there are better locations for this, but if this is our only shot at getting Tesla chargers in Boone, then I'm for it. However if they would actually consider putting them somewhere else and can do so, they REALLY,REALLY should! If you want to read...

Interesting that the pre-fab stalls don't have any pull-in forward spots. I wonder if this could be for the Charlotte/Western NC folks coming over to Jordan Lake via 64...

FWIW, I have gotten a max of 184kW with my 2018 Model S 100D. If you have the 100kWh battery, the V3 chargers will go a bit higher than 150kW, but I'm not sure its worth extra effort to seek out V3 chargers specifically. The higher charge rate usually only lasts a few minutes, anyway.

Per Facebook, It looks like a new Supercharger is going in at 1605 E 11th St, Siler City, NC I can't take credit for the Photo, this is from Facebook and was taken by John Gotsch. If anyone else can find more information, feel free to add to this thread. Chatham County Inspections site is not...

I have to concur with what has been said above. The Raleigh SC has always been great and I am very appreciative of the staff there. I have been frustrated sometimes with having to use the app and that being the only method of communication, but they have always responded quickly enough through...

Thanks @pinke2323. I should have looked a little harder for the other thread.

Any updates to this SC being re-opened anytime soon? I have to go up to Salem this week and am not thrilled at the prospect of charging at 72kW. I mean I will if I have to, but it would be nice if a nice new shinny new V3 charger opened on Monday.

I found that at highway speed with these blades the wipers jump/bounce when wiping. Just my observation. I will only get the Tesla wiper blades from now on. (Also, looked at getting them from Amazon, they are more expensive)

US-74 would be nice, but how about closer to Forest City? There are a couple of Data Centers there, so its a small hub for technology, which may grow a bit.

This makes a huge difference! This is a great place for a Supercharger! Thanks Tesla!

I recently did this and came to the realization that the climate control (A/C) usage is not calculated in your energy usage in the trip screens. I figured for my MS, the A/C uses about 2kW of power, so for every hour I'm in the car on a trip, I have to calculate an additional 2kWh of battery for...

Quote from Facebook: There is a snappy lube right off leesville and 540 that they [The Service Center] use for the inspections. If you haven't joined the FB group, the link to the group is: Log into Facebook | Facebook

My guess is that V10 is a gateway for the "App Store" and for paying for enhanced Data services ("Premium Connectivity"), so there'll be a bit of motivation to get it out sooner than later. Is anyone paying for Premium Connectivity yet?

I echo what TexasEV wrote, make sure you are using PlugShare. The app in invaluable for finding chargers. I also recommend the Chargepoint app and registering for a Chargepoint account in case you come across one of their chargers. They are usually free to use, but require a RFID card or the app...

Quick update: I had to supercharge today before I wanted to, with my SoC at 50%. I tried a different stall and temps made it up to 80F. At 50%, I peaked at 123kW, which I have never seen before. I have never seen it go over 118kW. I am hopeful that my previous attempt was either too cold or I...

I went to a supercharger Friday morning with the intention of seeing if there were charging time differences. I arrived with 35% SoC and had my limit set to 90%. Temps overnight never went below 60F, I believe it was above 60F when I arrived and had set the navigation to the supercharger...

I just received 2019.8.4 as well. Here are my screenshots of the Release Notes.

Something to consider is getting an inventory MS. Those cars can usually be delivered quickly and they usually take some mileage discounts. Not sure what is available right now, but talk to your local Sales office and they can tell you what's available and where.

@wk057 Thank you for your insights into NoA. I very much value your opinions and insights. Your past many years of experience has shown that you have put thought and effort into your findings. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more of your posts. Glad to see you back in the forum.

I'm sure I'm inviting a smack-down by everyone here, however, have we forgotten that we are driving around in an AI supercomputer that can "learn"? Why not reward the drivers that consistently respond to the first prompting of the "Place hands on wheel" by allowing more time between "nags" when...

That's okay, I think I have you all beat: I accidentally tried to put the car in Park while on AP going 70 mph. It was my first road trip with my, then, new Tesla and I was trying to change lanes to the left. AP and TACC both disengaged, but no other harm came from it. I would not suggest...

Thanks @Shateam. That's exactly what I did; set it to google. I'll just have to wait and see if I get any more reboots. I am sad to hear about TeslaWaze going away. I was excited to see if it would work for me. I just hope Tesla gets their maps integrated with Waze and also gets the option to...

Thanks for this post. I noticed my MCU reboots a lot more since I tested going to Tesla Waze site and didn't correlate the two. I wonder if it's still on the browser in the background. I'll check when I go to lunch. Is it enough to just navigate away from the site or would I need to clear the...

I have a MS75D and I wish I would have gotten the 90D (largest battery at the time), but I'm content with the one I've got for now, until I can get the 100D. If you can change it at this point and afford it, do it, you will not regret it.

Limit buy set for $260 or will buy the morning of May 3rd. I hope its up, up, and away after this. Only time will tell.

Thanks @jelloslug, I just noticed that the post said that it was the Columba SC that was struck and they found out about it at the Greenville SC. I will post in that thread. My bad!

Just saw a note on Facebook about this charger being struck by lightning last night (4/15/2018) and is offline. Can anyone validate this info and give us an update? Thanks!

There is one that I know of in Raleigh that has an EVgo CHAdeMO and CCS plug: Plugshare - Sheetz

There has to be an official "Commissioning" after the meter is installed by a Tesla engineer, then it will be functional and then show up on the map. Usually it takes a couple of hours to overnight for it to show up on the map after Commissioning, but once the engineer is done with their part it...

Thank you cpa. I appreciate your offer and I will forward on your note. I'm not sure their apiary or their business is that large, but I'm sure they will appreciate that people are willing to assist and I'll let you know what their response is.

It was pointed out that the participants of this thread may be interested in a thread I started in the Energy, Environment, and Policy section of the forums, so here is the link to the other thread: Bee Hive Vandalism

Thanks ggr. I shall do that. Also, thanks to Big Earl! I know they appreciate the support!

Since we have had a couple of threads in the "Energy, Environment, and Policy" forum about beef and eating less of it, I thought it wouldn't be too far fetched to write about a local beekeeper in my area that was intentionally vandalized this week. Bees are so vitally important to our food...

In North Carolina, our "EV" fee was increased to $130/yr. Unlike the Personal Property tax, this is a fee, so it's not deductible from fed/state tax at the end of the year. As Knightowl and others have said, its justified by the fact that we don't pay the "Highway use" Tax at the fuel pump. I...

Same brand of shipping containers as the ones that were at the Raleigh site. There were only two containers in Raleigh for the entire install, so I wonder why there are "16" containers at this site (I only see nine in this pic, though). Nice find, CoryNC!

I had a similar experience on Saturday after coming back from the Warsaw SC. I think the signs will go a long way to deter ICEing. We really can't/shouldn't say anything until the signage goes up, but once it does, I plan to post the North Hills security office phone number, as they will help...

I successfully charged at Warsaw on Saturday (11/18). Interesting thing happened while I was charging: three times it just stopped charging, then restarted by itself. Not sure what was going on. I hope Tesla gets this fixed or moved to a new location soon.

Thanks @BigD0g and @Insureit1! I appreciate the info. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread... I will snap some pics of the construction when I drive through and post back.

I'm planning on stopping there on Wednesday before Thanksgiving as my only stop going to NoVA. I'm guessing that the construction will not be complete, but does anyone have prior experience with how busy this site may be that day?

Most J1772's have a locking hole. I bought a small combination padlock that I slip in the locking hole if I suspect the location is questionable as seen in the attached pic.

The Triangle Tesla Club is meeting tomorrow at 2:00pm at the new Supercharger. I thought it was today... oops

I appreciate the offer, however I already have a pair of 90 degree pliers, that's why I'm giving it a go in the morning. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow at the meetup.

One more note about Raleigh. I just placed a bucket with a squeegee at the sign post closest to the charging equipment and it contains diluted Prestone 3-in-1 Windshield Washer Fluid. If you would like to use it, feel free to do so. I will replace the solution every couple of weeks. If anyone...

Thanks to everyone for all the great info about Fayetteville and G'boro! I am really liking all the love Tesla is showing NC right now. Maybe that will entice the person responsible for the Charlotte debacle to make it all right... HA! :rolleyes: Okay, so two last pics for me in this thread...

So I went by at lunch time and talked with the friendly folks that were there. The fence is completely gone and they were cleaning up the parking lot. It was not officially open yet, but I'm guessing that if anyone visits it later today, they may be happy. I will not be able to go back at 3:00...

I was told commissioning happened last night and all was successful. You may be able to see by the pics that the lights are on, so they are powered and ready. They were installing the stop sign when I was there, the fence contractor was there getting ready to put up the fence around the...

So I heard that it is going to open VERY soon. They're going to take down the fence today, but there will be cones in place to block anyone from charging for now so that Tesla can get in to commission it. The asphalt has been sealed and the curb has been completed. The plan is to put in a new...

A little bird told me that they were trying to get the fence around the equipment built and completed this week and that they were in the process of "cleaning up", but could not give me an opening date. As part of the cleanup, they were in the process of removing the shipping containers...

So I spoke with someone today and they obviously didn't give me a specific date, but he said that things were coming on along very smoothly and that North Hills has been great to work with. They were placing the poles for the Tesla Parking signs while I was there. On a speculative note, it...
