    Ventura County Wrap and Ceramic Coating Recommendation

    I have not used them, but I did have a chat with another Tesla drive in TO, and he really liked Wrap Labs in WLV. He told me he used them, because he called around to different places (a) telling them he had a large sedan and then (b) telling them he had an S. Only Wrap Labs had the same...

    Monterey Marriott - Avoid

    Yes, I got the notifications but didn't notice them on the phone. I find I don't always see notifications, because they clear so quickly (especially with FaceID).

    Monterey Marriott - Avoid

    TL;DR: I recommend avoiding the Marriott in Monterey, CA I’m taking my kids on a road trip, and I specifically booked hotels that have destination charging, because that frees up (valuable!) vacation time. For our day in Monterey (aquarium), I chose the Marriott. Upon arriving (yesterday at...

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - West Hillcrest Drive (LIVE 3 Aug 2018, Urban type)

    Here are a couple pics to corroborate the report that this location is open. Also, can a mod please change the title to reflect the name on the Tesla nav?

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - West Hillcrest Drive (LIVE 3 Aug 2018, Urban type)

    Here are a couple shots from above today. I didn’t realize until now that there are two entrances. Also, the small fences have the mall’s label on it, as opposed to being plain or having another label.

    Supercharger - Oxnard, CA (EXPANDED Jun 2018, now 20 total)

    I was there and got over 100kw on an unpaired stall (1B), so at least some are working

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - West Hillcrest Drive (LIVE 3 Aug 2018, Urban type)

    I was just talking about this location with my kids today and wondered what the deal was. The site looks basically finished, so maybe the wait is due to utilities and/or permits? In any case, thanks for the update @Black_P85

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - East Thousand Oaks Blvd (re-opened May 2021)

    There was a lot more use yesterday afternoon than usual, perhaps due to the Oxnard supercharger being down (this is the next closest one to the south). Good thing we have this one online now!

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - West Hillcrest Drive (LIVE 3 Aug 2018, Urban type)

    Interesting find, @TaoJones, I get the same thing. When I choose to navigate there and then click the destination balloon, I get this: Based on that image, I speculate Tesla will end up calling the Oaks Mall charger, “Thousand Oaks, CA - West Hillcrest Drive.”

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - East Thousand Oaks Blvd (re-opened May 2021)

    Not only did someone get a violation, but they threw their trash on the ground. This was in stall 9B this morning. Here’s a view without the wiper blade blocking.

    So, can we please update the thread title to reflect that it is now open?

    @madsigh I missed the wood manhole coverings you snapped shots of...you’re right, that does look familiar :)

    Garage door railing protection against falcon wing door

    I tried foam pipe insulation, but that didn’t prevent damage at all. A couple weeks ago, I had it happen again, but I had some denser foam I got from scraps at the local service center, and that appeared to prevent door damage. I also shaved down the J bar with a saw but still got damage...

    I was just starting the charge when I snapped the picture, and I only charged for a couple minutes to check and share.

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - East Thousand Oaks Blvd (re-opened May 2021)

    A couple points of confusion: 1. It’s showing as Thousand Oaks on the nav, so we may need to change the thread title to TO. 2. It’s showing up in the nav, but there is no power to the actual chargers as of 4:45am.

    Literally flip a switch... We also found the no parking signs from last night:

    Supercharger - Calabasas, CA - Commons Way (LIVE 12 May 2022, 20 V3 stalls)

    I drove by today and noticed the white markings @madsigh already identified. I counted the stalls within those white markings and saw 24 (2+2+10+10)...the first picture is a Google satellite image with red dashed lines indicating the 24 stalls that appear to be marked by the dashed white lines...

    Looks like urban style SCs. 20 of them in. Pictures as of a couple min ago.

    Landscaping is going in now, though I see no progress vis-a-vis electrical connections adjacent to the transformers.

    I don’t see progress beyond the pics from @Lakesbutta, but there are a few Teslas in the spots as normal parking spots

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - West Hillcrest Drive (LIVE 3 Aug 2018, Urban type)

    As far as spots at The Oaks are concerned, that's a generally great location for a SC. One thing people should know if they show up for a dinner/charge on Sunday nights is that the mall closes before some of the restaurants. We learned this the hard way one weekend when we parked in that...

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - East Thousand Oaks Blvd (re-opened May 2021)

    I live in WLV, so I can chime in that the location of the supercharger is technically in TO, but everyone here calls that section of TO "Westlake Village." The thread title is consistent with the local vernacular.

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - East Thousand Oaks Blvd (re-opened May 2021)

    I agree. Additionally, I'll note that the Promenade (this thread/SC in construction) and The Oaks (speculation/rumor/needs verifying) are less than 6 miles apart. I'm totally cool with Tesla loading up the Conejo Valley with superchargers and all, but I would be surprised if they really did...

    Garage door railing protection against falcon wing door

    Yinn, Thanks...super helpful info. It turns out that a side-mounted garage opener doesn't work in my garage, because there isn't enough side-to-side space next to the shaft on either end. Otherwise that would rock. I raised the drive unit a little over 2 inches, since it's unnecessarily low...

    Garage door railing protection against falcon wing door

    My FWD* has opened successfully in my garage probably 300 times, but it has been unsuccessful twice. The first time there was a firmware issue and the sensors didn't detect anything outside the door. The most recent time, the door sensors appear** to be detecting at least some obstacles, such...

    Construction continues...they have at least two big green boxes that they are installing today. (Pics at 2:20pm today.)

    Supercharger - Thousand Oaks, CA - East Thousand Oaks Blvd (re-opened May 2021)

    Wrappers are back on, many of them green and with bows. The “Tesla only” signs are not up, so spots are all ICEed. There’s also construction off to the side still.

    How common is ghosting?

    Well, if you can figure out whether or not a 00-B part works on an AP1 car, then I would recommend trying a 00-B car to see what the difference is. (If the part won't fit, perhaps don't try a 00-B in case you get frustrated.) For those asking, scheduled my original appointment with a couple...

    How Many Considering Model X or Much Less Expensive Car?

    Like @outie and @cantbechanged, we were looking at a minivan or a MX. I really liked my 10 y/o 3-series, but with another kid on the way, we needed the third row. I wanted the X more than the Odyssey, but what sealed the deal was when my wife threatened me, "Just so you know, if you buy a...

    How common is ghosting?

    I had an 01-B loaner car this week and the ghosting was very bad, even in daylight. My car was in for a very large crack in my 00-B windshield. I insisted on the replacement part being 00-B, which they were able to order...parts delivery took a couple extra days, but it was worth the wait.

    New Service Center in Agoura Hills?

    I had my Monday appointment moved to this morning so they could order a 00-B replacement windshield (for a crack from road debris) and have had a good experience so far. The service point of contact met me a little before they opened (since my schedule is a bit rough this week) and was super...

    New Service Center in Agoura Hills?

    I just got a call from them today...delighted, because I have an appointment in Van Nuys on Monday that we moved to Agoura instead. (Living in WLV, this change is super helpful.) I'll report back on the XP on Monday.

    How common is ghosting?

    I have a 1105964-00B and I have no ghosting, despite actively looking for it when I drive at night. I took delivery 6/23.

    This graph makes me very happy!

    I agree the uptick in 2017 isn't really fast enough to handle what should be substantial unit growth of the cars. Since we don't actually know what the build/delivery rate of the 3 will be, however, the lack of an exponential trend break may reflect the company's actual plans to roll out the 3...

    Windshield tint

    I have HW2 and did the front windshield (live in the Conejo Valley). There was a problem with the first installation, so I have to go back tomorrow to have them fix it. Whether or not I will recommend this installer depends on how they handle the fix: I'll circle back ASAP when that's done.

    6/23/2017 - VIN 553XX Delivery

    I also haven't seen any ghosting even when looking. I haven't been driving much at night recently (DST), so I'm hesitant to say it's not there vs "I maybe just haven't seen it yet."

    Worried about Model X cost of ownership

    2) I have Travelers insurance and $1,228 per year. Our coverage is pretty good (below), and we supplement with an umbrella policy for liability. The reason I stick with Travelers is that, when a hit & run driver in a stolen car hit my last car, my BMW dealer fixing the car told me that...

    6/23/2017 - VIN 553XX Delivery

    Hi all, I just picked up my MX today. Totally stoked. I wanted to share a couple pieces of info in case helpful to others. I initially ordered on 5/29, finalized on 6/5, etc. I had no production or quality problems at all. From reading these forums, it seems some are still getting problems...

    90 kWh battery to be removed next week

    As of today, the 90 is gone from the configuration page (though there is a funny twist that some 90Ds are in stock as "new inventory" that can still be purchased [one in Seattle, for example]).
