    Supercharger - Ocean Shores, WA (LIVE 10 Oct 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    Good news! As of today (Oct 10, 2023) Washington's newest Supercharger station is now in operation. The Tesla guys were there earlier today to do the final inspection and to energize the system. It's probably not showing up on your maps yet, but it's all working! So, make your plans for an...

    Supercharger - Ocean Shores, WA (LIVE 10 Oct 2023, 8 V3 stalls)

    Things are progressing quite nicely. They should be pouring concrete in the next couple of days, then it's a three day rest before the installation continues. Looking like just a few weeks away. Once a date is set, get ready for an official grand opening where everyone will be invited!

    That's the official word! It could also mean that any vehicle with a Tesla Charger hose can use it too.

    Yea, Aberdeen at night is sketchy, BUT much better than it used to be. There was a filthy porta potty on the property that the druggies used. Plans have been scrapped for a Welcome/Visitors Center across the street in the now vacant lot. So, best place for a restroom is the Rite Aid a block...

    The host is the City of Ocean Shores. It's on adjacent property to the Ocean Shores Convention Center, on the backside of a private commercial building that has a number of retail stores. The visitor center is at a different location.

    Supercharger Pricing in WA State

    I have free supercharging on my 2015 MS, and I don't get the pricing info. So, tell me if the cost is .35 do you multiply that by time or what the car says its sucking in? But, it seems that the incoming power varies according to the charge.

    Supercharger - Bellevue, WA

    Here's what my SOP would be if I were a local..... go into the garage shortly before closing, say about a half hour prior to closing.. Stay in the car, do my charge and then leave after the toll booth closes. It's like a safety thing that you can get OUT of a garage after hours.

    Cost of 14-50 charging

    I have the TeslaFi app. I LOVE it! My electricity is 8.5 cents per kwh from my PUD. The program does the math for me. So far with 864 home charges, it has cost me $402.33 total for probably 4 years. In January, I had 46 charges at home (it's plugged in all the time) added 168 kwh, and a...

    Cybertruck as mobile powerwall

    I live in a rural coastal area that often gets some pretty nasty winter storms. The PUD power generally is pretty good, but when it does go out, its between a few hours and a few days. I would be thrilled if I could power my fridge, freezer and my 110 pellet stove.

    Supercharger - Lacey, WA

    The layout is the same as in Issaquah at the Fred Meyer parking lot. Everyone backs in and the number of Superchargers takes up less linear space. I passed thru Olympia yesterday, and would have used it had it been open!

    Washer pump not working

    I did that same thing on my 2015 Model S last fall. I must have done something wrong as it lost it's prime for about two weeks before it finally primed itself and started to work. True, it was a pretty easy job.

    Supercharger - Lacey, WA

    I went by this afternoon and a back hoe was there and they dug out a big ditch. Also, on the pavement, in spary paint was a couple of squares and the word "transformer" So that will be on the inside of the planter. The location is not where I had originally thought, right at the drug store...

    I have an external TuneIn account with a number of saved favorites divided into a number of different Tune In subdirectories: News, Local, Music, Oldies, Radio shows, etc. In each category I might have a half dozen or more favorites. Until I discovered this, I couldn't access all my Tune In...

    Supercharger - Lacey, WA

    I visited the location today. It is in the South Sound parking lot way out from the Target all the way to Slater-Kinney Road, between the Bank and the Rite Aide. All that has been done is some spray painting on the asphalt. The location appears to be right next to the Rite Aid Store and a...

    Supercharger - Grants Pass, OR

    Wow, things sure have changed! The last time I went there I was on my way to the Holiday Bowl. It was the day after Christmas, cold as all get out, there was no one there except for me, all the restaurants were closed, as I got there right around midnight. So, I plugged in to the...

    Supercharger - Tumwater, WA

    I went to the Tumwater SC for the first time a few days ago. GREAT LOCATION! I was ice'd out by a big pickup, but he came back in from the store with his lunch and was off. The Pilot convenience store is very nice! There's a McDonalds, a Subway, a Cinnabon as well as grocery store items. The...

    Supercharger - Lacey, WA

    I did a search from the One Call application on Google Maps. Long and Lat coordinates. 47.0426223, -122.8342446 Looks like the pin point will be right off Slater Kinney in the South Sound Parking Lot.

    Supercharger - Seaside, OR

    I hate to report this, but the Kitchen Connections store at the Seaside Supercharger has totally vacated the premises, and there's no new location. I was so looking forward to picking up some kitchen supplies there. Good news is the public restrooms just past the teriyaki place is EXTREMELY clean!

    Supercharger - Forks, WA

    I am SO looking forward to a day trip to Forks just for a lunch! ESPECIALLY since there's a number of restaurants within walking distance. It totally reminds me of my friends who used to have private small planes and would fly to airports just for the restaurant. I feel the same way about...

    EV's are still not allowed to use HOV lanes in Washington, right?

    Same here. When I drove to San Diego and back last year, I was constantly in the California car pool lanes. And no CA or WA carpool sticker for me. I also figured that I would have been a very low priority for a CHP working the lanes. I especially liked to jump in right behind another Tesla...

    Washer pump not working

    I also replaced my this fall, just before the rain started. Like some others the new pump as spinning with nothing coming out. I thought I had properly primed it, but guess not. It took maybe two days of driving before the sloshing around primed it. It's been working fine since. I happened...

    Anyway to avoid paying Seattle area sales tax on a Tesla?

    If you are a land owner outside of the metro area, you can change your voter registration to your vacation home, within a day. Then register your car in that county. And get a post office box in McCleary, $50. a year.

    MS Door Handle Light add-ons

    Well, I did have the puddle lights installed when my car was in the shop. I had ASSUMED that since they were into the door anyway, it would be just the light for the driver's door. NOT SO. They charged me the book rate for the door that was already disassembled and the passenger door that was...

    Hwy 261 from RItzville to Washtucna is a knuckle grabber. There's hills and corners and autopilot looses it. So, you have to actually DRIVE the car. It's not a pleasant drive. Google maps says that route is 34 minutes. To go back to freeway 395 to Washtunca for the easier drive is about an...
