No idea. In the old days it was rare to have to convince someone to go tesla. It was THE brand. Now it’s just the opposite. As long as they have access to the supercharger network they don’t care. So I usually just recommend ford then as they are available everywhere here and with lots of...

No idea. But there are a number of similar length routes to get there. But if it was me I would go thru the kootenays. Cranbrook, Invermere, Golden. Kelowna would be way out of the way. Are you going that route to see the sites? If so it’s a beautiful route but longer. There are tons of DC...

Yep. Around here we have lots of people considering an EV for their next vehicle. We often get asked questions. Even offer a test drive. But it stops there because although they are sure they will be buying an EV next it definitely won’t be a Tesla because of Elon. It’s just the way it is now...

Speaking of which. I occasionally check to see if there are any new superchargers in Chile. There are still zero. That surprises me as I thought with the building of a showroom there it was an indication of a future or new market. Thoughts?

I wonder if this will show up in Canada.

Yah I hear ya. I’m probably one of those sometimes. Human nature I suppose.

Great post and great to hear. A lot of hand wringing could have been avoided if he had sent this last week. Gitterdun Elon.

Thanks. Good to know. Looking forward to the reviews.

Ok thanks. 👍. Looking forward to the reviews.

So to be clear, they are actually configuring your truck with the range extender? I don’t think I have heard of anyone getting a range extender yet, or seen a single review.

Yah I thought of that. Who knows. Hope not. 😊

At least so far I haven’t seen any of the coming soon pins dissspesr from the tesla site map. Fingers crossed. We have a few gaps up here yet. At least for us pulling trailers. 😂

I’m not concerned about it. He gets things done. I’m more curious about the plan and strategy going forward. V2 to V3 upgrades. More trailer stalls. And as Elon pointed out there will continue to be some gap filling going on no doubt. I think people will relax a bit when new sites or...

I was just curious how and where tesla will fill the void. Obviously they still need people to do the job. They are not going to abandon the supercharger network.

Any rumours on the formation of a new supercharger team?

I noticed that Keremeos is still on the map for coming soon on the Tesla site. Either that means it’s still coming or there is no one at Tesla to update the site with cancellations. Actually I haven’t noticed any cancelations yet.

Hi again Dewg. No luck finding that. Maybe it’s only when on autopilot and not on FSD.

Typically 90 kph. 320 to 380 wh per kilometre but lots of variables there. Heads up. Those towing the boondock version get less efficiency as it’s 3 inches higher. Also hard to hitch up as it involves a riser etc. The non boondock is flat and level with a 2 inch riser.

We haven’t had any problem charging in campgrounds. But a couple things. Where we are 50 amp is kinda rare. We charge a lot from a 30 amp plug (so max 24 amps at 120 volts). We plug in either the car or the trailer not both and we tell the operators that. Some campgrounds do a forced upgrade...

Well, standardized or not it’s going to have to figure it out.

Curious how the NEVI sites that Tesla was selected to build will play out now. Will Tesla build a new leaner more efficient team and gitterdun or will it just cede those sites to another charge chain. I’m surprised Elon hasn’t addressed this in more detail on X. Not even a whisper out there in a...

My polling info came from 270 to win and 538. Both have been steadily moving towards trump and have trump in the lead.

I’ll check it out. Thanks Dewg. 👍

I think this will change fast after the US election. Trumps poll numbers are climbing everyday and pretty fast the last two weeks. Both 270 to win and 538 show him polling above Biden which is a significant change from before the trial started. If he’s convicted he is guaranteed to win in my...

Hi Dewg. I don’t see that option under navigation or autopilot. What am I doing wrong?

We are on 12.3.6. It’s pretty good. -Still can’t merge (just runs out the lane and then just jumps into traffic with no signal), but I suspect that will change with single stack. - No signals in roundabout but not sure if that’s illegal. - Still fails a key intersection where it always moves...

I wonder if tesla will ever consider making a long range AWD. We would trade tomorrow for another 20 percent. (We tow…a lot).

Same with RBC securities. Click and you are there.

We voted along board recommendations although a couple things I feel I am poorly informed on. The last one regarding deep sea resources etc caught us off guard. Not much in the news about that, or at least the sources we use. Just an observation.

I’m pretty sure the idea is not to have the new team do the job the same way as the old team…which was obviously not doing the job the way management wanted it done. Change is good.

Wife and I just got our notices from RBC securities for the vote. Thought it would be earlier. All good.

😂. You do you dude. You are just trolling for a fight. Whatever gets you there. 😂

I would think there will be a new, albeit much smaller team in place in the next 4 weeks. The supercharger roll out will continue…at a reduced more cost controlled and efficient rate. When anyone in our squadron got to feeling they were indispensable our sgt major use to tell us to stick our...

As indicated. I’m curious. Not important in the big scheme of things. Is curiosity allowed on this board? 😂. Still, no one seems to know, which is weird. I mistakenly thought they were employed out of buffalo. People seem to think that’s not the case but don’t know where this 500 person team...

As to where the team was employed, I’m curious. Nobody seems to know. As to whether communication has been restored, I think it goes to contractors having confidence in dealing with tesla. Contractors in future will be hesitant to deal with a company they can’t communicate with. I would think...

Has there been any progress on the communication vacuum yet? I would think this would be a high priority fire to put out. Has tesla started to rehire or rebuild the tesla supercharger tesm yet. Where is/was the supercharge team employed? Fremont, Texas, Buffalo???

Maybe. But it’s a fail to build a multi million dollar charge facility without getting a commitment from the utility. There are three superchargers within 500 kilometers of us just getting grown over by weeds. Total fail. I would think someone would need to be fired for that. Maybe lots of...

I wonder how this whole supercharger thing will affect Elons compensation package vote. People are getting out there pitchforks. 😱 Kyle from out of spec reviews mentions that other OEM’s are rethinking their move to NACS. I guess that’s one way of keeping future supercharger use down. 😂

Right. So somebody on that team dropped the ball in not insuring that the local utility was ready for the supercharger. I would say that is a dismissible boo boo right there.

I haven’t seen anything indicating it will be dead ended or slowed down. Improvement and updates are needed. And maybe get the dozens of completed sites online that are not connected to the grid yet. There was obviously some incompetence in that department.

I don’t think any other manufacturer has switched yet. I suspect a lot are now rethinking any plans to switch.

Where was the US team based? Where was the Canadian team based?

Who will do that? New employees. Or rehired former employees.

Apparently maintenance and installation people not affected. This was primarily those who scouted new stations, legal people for setting up leases, accounting people for paying and tracking leases and section heads. People from that group have already said it was a bloated department. There are...

Quick question. Where was this supercharger team of 500 based out of?. I was under the impression that it was the buffalo factory but have since read that this is not the case.

Not sure of the validity but there are already reports of installation contracters who have no one to contact, no phones getting answered, stop work orders etc. I think it’s going to be an interesting ride.

Installations are done by contractors. Not tesla personnel. At least here in BC.

Some interesting interpretations on the supercharger news on Facebook. Will tesla stop adding existing superchargers to those accessible to Ford and Rivian? Will other brands be added to access list? Will any more superchargers be added? These are the main questions being asked in the...

Yep. 2022 model Y

We just got 12.3.5. Kinda surprising as we see lots of Facebook posts on 12.3.6 going out now. Hmmm
