    Supercharger - Bridgewater, NJ

    I've been to this charger a few times now. Sometimes busy sometimes not. There are signs saying 15 minute general parking and it looks pretty much civil at this point. There was a heated exchange with someone who was parked there for an extended period but that was because he was dealing with a...

    Super Charging Etiquette

    Just had someone start charging in my paired stall with 2 unpaired pairs avaliable. Does Tesla explain this to anyone when they purchase a new car? I just moved to an unpaired stall, grumbled a little, rather than try to explain... The person looked oblivious. Last time I explained to someone it...

    Thanks for checking... At least the chargers are still there 😁

    Supercharger - Bridgewater, NJ

    I had a furnace installed in December... My electrical / mechanical inspection is tomorrow (May 6). Possibly still awaiting approvals.

    Drove by today. Still no transformer or meter but otherwise nearly complete!

    Voice command "Call xxx" doesn't work

    Nothing works anymore....Musk is too busy tweeting about Gamestop and cryotocurrency! I've had trouble with all voice commands and the infotainment system not recognizing USB drive on start and album art. I'm hoping Tesla addresses some of the long standing (years) issues with the cars.

    Towed back to Tesla after driving only 32 miles...

    Thanks for posting your story. Sorry for your crappy experience and trouble. My admiration for Tesla from when I first purchased my S four years ago is waning. While I did not have the horrible experience you had at the SC, mine has not been good. I don't like being lied to and treated like I...

    PSA: "Battery Coolant Heater" not included in battery warranty

    I agree... Sorry for your trouble. Luckily mine went out about 9 months before end of warranty in my S.

    FSD should be renamed

    PTSD? Partial Tesla Self Driving?

    FSD should be renamed

    Are you referring to the video from four years ago?

    FSD rewrite will go out on Oct 20 to limited beta

    I'm confident this time... 3 months likely, 6 months for sure ;)

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    Poor analogy... COVID vaccines are being developed at record pace... Just not as quickly as the Big Orange Clown would like.

    FSD rewrite will go out on Oct 20 to limited beta

    Riddle me this... Is it really a "release" if 0.00% (rounded) have received it? or If a Tesla self drives in the woods and there is no one there to see it, did it drive itself? 3 years and 10 months paid and waiting for self driving after seeing the video at that time "showing" Model S drive...

    2016 Model S 90D vs Model Y

    Posted earlier but I have a Dec 2016 S90D 28k miles ... Range is at 283

    2016 Model S 90D vs Model Y

    I need a sunroof so any of the newer Teslas are non starters. I like the heat pump vs resistance heating tech though and if you live in a cold climate and need the winter range that may be an important factor. They are all awesome cars and as ucmndd says , details matter.

    Too soon? 2020 S LR+'s 90% SOC already dropping after ~45 days of ownership

    I appreciate it may not be relevant to LR+ but on previous batteries, typically most degradation happened earlier rather than later. I think you just need to monitor it . Also, people have suggested discharging battery to <10% and then charging to 100% to "recalibrate" the battery . I think this...

    2020.28.6

    My Model S is stuck on this update and wh/m isn't updating anymore. Made a mobile service appointment which is three weeks out! Can't contact service center or Tesla support because it is the weekend and they are closed. I love the car but service has gotten pathetic. Glad I had ownership in a...

    PSA: "Battery Coolant Heater" not included in battery warranty

    When my battery heater went bad, I got the specific warnings below. I had limited acceleration and zero regen.

    Model S Dual Chargers, what do I need to do?

    I could be wrong but I thought I remember reading on this forum that Tesla capped the home charging speed such that the dual charger could no longer use current above 50 amps?? I may be thinking of limitations on the newer wall chargers.

    PSA: "Battery Coolant Heater" not included in battery warranty

    Thanks, my range has really suffered even though it has been a mild winter in the northeast. I'll repost once I get my car back to see if there's any noticeable difference .

    PSA: "Battery Coolant Heater" not included in battery warranty

    Also had this happen 10 days ago and just took it to the SC today (27k miles, Oct 2016 build). My driving efficiency (miles/wh) seemed lower in recent months and curious if this is related or if reduced efficiency is due to recent software updates. Recently had air conditioner serviced and I...

    Elon: "Feature complete for full self driving this year"

    That video is such BS and it is already over 3 years old! I went for it... Hook, line and sinker. I wonder how many pedestrians they ran over before they got the final take?

    HW 3.0 Upgrade Tracker

    Okay, I had my appointment for HW3 upgrade today (and some other maintenance items)... Not too surprised to find out they could not do the upgrade yet. I was told they will roll out by VIN number and unless you receive a notice, you aren't eligible for an upgrade. SC guy said he believed this...

    HW 3.0 Upgrade Tracker

    Requested HW3 upgrade along with some standard maintenance work. I'm scheduled for a SC visit on January 22nd. I did not receive any notice that I would not receive the upgrade but am not that hopeful. I paid for FSD over 3 years ago so I am getting impatient. I was told at the time that my car...

    Summon failure - sudden turn as reversing out of garage crushed mirror

    I went back to summoning out of garage keeping a careful eye out. It appeared to start turning the wheel one time but I had my finger on the trigger to stop it dead in it's tracks :D

    Wiki Sudden Loss Of Range With 2019.16.x Software

    I agree Tesla had been messing with the range calculation and charging speeds. Another thing I've noticed is the efficiency has deteriorated (summer and winter) in the 3 years I've had my 2016 90d. That could be because the battery is being conditioned more carefully but the effect is to make it...

    It’s been 1051 days since I paid in full for FSD

    I would accept either of these: my car to drive automatically as I was shown in the FSD video or an upgrade to a new 100 kWh battery... either would be an acceptable gesture :D

    It’s been 1051 days since I paid in full for FSD

    1062 days and counting for me. I expect my car to drive just like it showed in that video...I was told it had the necessary hardware and only needed software updates and regulatory approval.

    Supercharger - Bridgewater, NJ

    Good points and I agree. I was just thinking about people passing through the state on 78. It's a long distance between chargers on that road and it would be convenient to have more options. PS: I also charge in Carlisle when driving west... never a problem re range.
  32. BlueRocket

    Supercharger - Bridgewater, NJ

    Yeah...I sort of figured the Basking Ridge SC was the "Bridgewater" SC. We need more chargers along Route 78 to fill out the east-west travel in the state. A few on 287 would help as well.

    FSD owners will be automatic Priority/Early Access

    I want FSD as promised, not a consolation prize. I was clearly told I would just need to get into my car and it would drive to my destination. It had all the hardware necessary to do this. They have been holding my $3k for nearly 3 years and they keep repeating their promise.

    I've seen up to 6 cars there but haven't had to wait yet.

    Is MCU1 stuck at NA-180906-1605 navigation maps?

    I have the same :-( BTW where's my FSD I paid for?

    Sentry Mode for AP2.0 released!

    When I bought FSD in December 2016, Tesla said it had all the hardware necessary for full self driving. I'm holding them to that. Edit: oh.. And by the way. I saw the video that proved my MS could navigate roads with traffic, pedestrians, stop signs and red lights. They didn't advertise...

    Sentry Mode for AP2.0 released!

    I was wondering about that. All the "video" files created on the flash drive are 1 kb in size... Clearly not a video. Sentry mode is a bit misleading for AP 2.0 owners. It does put the "Sentry Mode" message on the screen and flash the lights if you walk near the car but what happens if I'm hit...

    Tesla vs External Route Planners

    Click on the final (Dayton) pin on the map and adjust the reserve to what you want. I don't think there is a way to turn off climate but if you set to about 68, effect should be negligible (this would not be the case if outside temperature was - 20 or 95). The free version is limited to 500...

    Tesla vs External Route Planners

    I just did the calculation for a trip from Bay City to Dayton, OH for a 75D and is a total of 26 minutes of charging (Maumee then Lima). Starting with 100% charge and arriving in Dayton with 30% charge (there is a nearby Supercharger). Not sure what you did, but my calculation looks about right.

    Tesla vs External Route Planners

    I use EV I use EVTrip Optimizer. It uses local weather conditions and allows you to set specifics for your car, add way points, change default SChs, etc. It has been pretty accurate once you set your "fudge factor" that basically reflects your driving style and "over the limit" speed you...
