Great news and badly needed. Now can we get one on I-70 between Cambridge and Columbus?

Finally! :)

Although this is a much need location, I still don’t understand why Tesla completely neglects US-30 in Ohio. This is yet another missed opportunity to alleviate a terrible oversight on their part.

I'm not someone who typically purchases extended warranties, but after debating it for well over a year decided to buy a 3 year/50,000 mile XCare policy last fall for my 2016 Model S just before it hit the upper mileage limit of 125,000 for XCare policies. The positive reviews on here were one...

Thanks for the response. It is a 2016 Model S with a 75 kW battery. I am the original owner, and it has about 121,000 miles on it. This is a new behavior which makes me wonder if the AC unit is going bad.

I’ve been having some issues with my AC and wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience and how it was resolved. On my 2016 S, the AC is very cold (high 30s or 40s) most of the time; however, sometimes when the outside temperature gets into the upper 80s and 90s, the AC blows air...

With thousands of rental properties for WDW vacationers within a few miles and only a couple of level 2 chargers at each Disney park, I’ll bet this one will be busier than you think.

Does anyone know if any expansion is planned for the 2 lane portion of Olde Lake Wilson Road toward US-192 by Reunion? Traffic through there can be brutal.

Also I wouldn’t worry about Supercharging doing much damage to your battery. My 2016 S has 94,000 miles with probably well over half of that being Suoercharger or CHAdeMO charging, and I’ve lost 20 miles of range since new.

My 2016 S-75 with 93,300 miles and a lot of Supercharging has a 100% charge of 226.

I posted this in the throttling thread but thought putting it here also was appropriate: I finally received the 2020.48.37 update in my 2016 S-75 and supercharged for the first time this morning starting with a warm battery and 18% left. Before throttling, the peak charge was in the 97kW range...

I finally received the 2020.48.37 update in my 2016 S-75 and supercharged for the first time this morning starting with a warm battery and 18% left. Before throttling, the peak charge was in the 97kW range, and after throttling, it would very briefly touch 82kW just below 50%. Today the car...

I have a 75 and not an 85, but with Tesla’s market cap where it is now, they could easily afford to offer the original owners who still have their 85s a sweetheart deal for new batteries. Tesla is now in the position to take care of those who were the early adopters and took a leap of faith...

Yes—supposedly the throttling is removed for at least some vehicles with the latest update. I’m still anxiously awaiting the update but reports are promising. I’ve seen an owner of a nearly identical vehicle to mine (2016 S-75) report his charge rates had been restored. I’m not sure about the...

What is your battery size? Have you upgraded to 2020.48.30?

I hadn’t checked that, so you gave me momentary hope for an easy fix, but the calendar does have permission to share with the Tesla app. Thanks.

The increase should be higher throughout the entire charge curve not just at the peak. How is an additional 20 kW charge rate inconsequential? That should be an extra 70-80 MPH increase in charge speed. That’s a huge difference across several charges during a long. trip.

Ever since getting an iPhone 12, my calendar won’t sync with the car when the phone is connected. If I connect my old iPhone 10, the calendar syncs with the car. I’ve signed out of the app, rebooted the car, and calendar sync is on in the Tesla app. All other Bluetooth functions on the car...

I missed that it is a performance—sorry.

I’m not in the used car market and have done any comparison shopping, but why would I pay $60K for for a 5 year old car with a 90 battery which is probably the worst Tesla has ever released when I can get a new one for $70K with much more range and much faster charging? ($80K with AutoPilot)

With the announcement of the Model S rated range increasing to 409 miles, I’m curious as to if anyone has actually charged to 100% and got a displayed range of 400+ miles.

Thanks for the update. We have a condo in Windsor Hills but haven’t been down this year due to the virus. With the two other new nearby superchargers, this one is more of a luxury than a necessity, but anytime I can avoid 192, I do.

Any updates on this site?

Until it gets throttled after a few road trips. . . .

I guess he wanted to assure he'd die in his sleep if something went wrong. :)

Is 150 kmhr the highest autopilot speed in Canada? That’s about 93 mph, and autopilot maxes out at 90 in the US.

That sure looks nice on my navi sitting in the vast Supercharger wasteland of southern Ohio. :)

I usually turn on my Mac, answer emails, and then do some work.

It's probably too late, but if you haven't left yet, I believe there are three 16w Tesla destination chargers at the Hampton Inn by Scioto Downs per PlugShare.

Do we have any confirmed cases of a Model 3 being throttled?

great news!

So I have what might be a dumb question, but I have an appointment to have my eMMC replaced because it’s ready to konk out soon, and my car is throttled. If I don’t have the existing data from my present chip copied to the new chip, will my car effectively be unthrottled with the...

You’re correct—the consensus is that the throttling is based on a certain threshold of KW added via DC charging including CHAdeMO.

I was shocked to see this one pop up as well. We have a condo about 5 miles away. There are hundreds and probably thousands of short term rental units for WDW vacationers within 10 minutes of there, so maybe that was the reason. I’m elated as our condo will now have three difference...

it is permanent and lowers the charge speed across the entire charge curve. It really sucks and might be the reason I choose a Rivian over the Cybertruck (have reservations for both) if Rivian has a decent charging network by the time they arrive.

That’s a longer route (about 50 miles) than taking US-35 to I-64. It would work in a pinch, but the trip to Florida is long enough without that detour. :) I use the Cambridge supercharger regularly on eastward trips and always feel safe there. I’ve only used Parkersburg once, and that was...

This is probably the last one I’ll get super excited to see completed. My 75 maxes out at about 228 miles now, and Charleston is 180-185 miles, so it was a little hairy in the winter.

No but it is very possible to get to 45% or higher in the US by the time federal, state, and local taxes are included in many locations.

How long ago was that?

It was the premier of this season’s episodes, so it should have been taped relatively recently. I’ve seen instances in the past where additional cash was provided when large prizes were awarded to cover the taxes, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on a game show. I must admit that I’m not...

Was watching the new Press Your Luck tonight, and the contestant won a Model X with a price tag of $160K+. Even before the price cut, there are no configurations even close to that. Did they grossed up to cover the taxes?

Hold out for a Rivian and see if they're as good as it appears they may be.

I just had my latch replace today, and the mobile technician lubricated the new unit with Truck-Lite NYK-77.

I was in the Columbus Ohio service center today and asked. I was told a new MCU 1 replacement is $1,800 and a replacement with a refurbished MCU 1 unit is $1,300.

Thanks for the info. I'd happily pay an extra $500 to keep my radio.

Why in the world would the remove radio? I’d love to upgrade but won’t even consider under that scenario.

That sounds very similar to mine. It peaks at 81kW somewhere around 50% or slightly over and tapers very quickly from there. 144 to 96 is a huge drop.

At least until the next update, right? :) Seriously though, I think I know what he means by that since my car has been throttled. My car has been slowed from a 95-97 kW peak to a peak of 81 kW (and that drop extends through the entire charge curve, not just at the peak). His has dropped to...

That was very informative and extremely disappointing. What's the point of installing v3 Superchargers if you're going to throttle the cars to 108 kW after only 2500 kW of DC charging? At 3.3 miles per kW (what my car gets, I'm sure the newer ones are slightly more efficient), that is only...
