    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    I was monitoring the charges and a it was at 95% a moment before the notification came five minutes late to say my supercharging stopped at 96% (again before my limit that was set to 100%). I disconnected and moved my car immediately (in under ten seconds because I was waiting with my car...

    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    So I had an opportunity today to chat with a technician working on some Tesla superchargers. I can't attest to the accuracy of this info other than who said it. He said that if your car's limit is set to 100% and is struggling for some time to get there, superchargers can stop their charging of...

    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    In the first post I said "projected." In the second post, someone pointed out this is the same as "estimate." Yes, I too have never had a problem until very recently. In this post users are indicating that premature stopping has happened...

    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    The entire premise of your argument seems to be either there are no problems or they are too few to bother with. I think there are people reading this that will realize that you are trying to claim I things that I've never indicated, such as that my car finished charging early, that I am trying...

    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    Don't let a few voices fool you that are trying to say that this post is about encouraging people to park at charger without charging. The purpose of this post is to bring to light that Tesla is making many errors in their application of idle fees and to offer a suggestion that would alleviate...

    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    I reported it the simultaneous charge and idle fees racking up to the Tesla Charging rep at the main number who then waived that idle fee. No explanation on that one. On the one that stopped, when I first started charging it gave the 80% limit notice, I then reset it to 100%. It then stopped at...

    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    I have no idea how how often it occurs, but once $18.50 for an idle fee occurred for me when the supercharger failed to recognize that it should not accrue idle charges for me while at the same time my car was charging. Or when the time when my car stopped charging before the limit that was set...

    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    Yes, everyone will be happy. I said with the way idle fees are applied. I never said people will be happy with cars parked while not charging. Please don't try to twist around my words. Everything would work exactly as it does now, but idle fees will only be charged if the car has been idle...

    A simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees

    Here is a simple way to make everyone happy with super charging idle fees: don't charge them unless the initial projected time to charge has passed. If we hookup to the supercharger and it initially says 45 minutes to charge to the rate set, what excuse could we possible have if idle fees are...

    SC Idle fee...??

    This is good to know. My car stopped supercharging at 96% tonight and although I disconnected as soon as I got a notification, somehow that was six minutes after the charging stopped (late notification?). When I called supercharging support, they suggested a service call because the battery...

    SC Idle fee...??

    This is not my understanding. The supercharger will immediately warn you that you will be limited to 80% and you can immediately after that reset it to a higher percentage. You should not have manually restart later.

    SC Idle fee...??

    You might want to read the second to last update at end, before hearing this story. So I am on the phone with Tesla Roadside Assistance and what the rep is saying is blowing my mind. He has indicated that the third paragraph at https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/supercharger/idle-fee...

    SC Idle fee...??

    There is all sorts of problems with the idle fees. Most recently I started supercharging and got the 80% warning. I immediately increased the charge limit to 100%. At 96% the charging stopped (no I did not stop it). I got a message that it stopped and immediately disconnected from the...

    Anyone try Mr Chrome for factory wheel exchange? (or wheel chroming company)

    Thanks. I've ordered mine. They seemed very nice at Mr. Chrome. Anyone know the correct size lug nut covers. Most of the kits say model s 2017+ and I have a 2014. I think 21mm may be the correct size, but I am not sure. Thanks!

    Yes I paid that. No it is not new. It is a 2014.

    Slacker buffering

    The pauses while listening to music are unbearable. Why did I pay $1,500 for an infotainment upgrade if it can't even play music without having to rebuffer a few times each song!?!

    Music skipping a lot

    The skipping/pausing music is unbearable. I bought Tidal just for my Tesla, but now I might cancel.

    Infotainment Upgrade $2000 for AP2.0/2.5, $1500 for Older Vehicles

    I am happy to report that the SC resolved the issue and I received a new upgrade agreement with the correct price of $1500 today. One thing I'd like to note, for all the complaints that I may have had over the years, there isn't a time I can think of where I was not eventually satisfied with the...

    Tesla advertising $1500 price for MCU2 upgrade, but charging me $1800.

    I d I really don't know. It was in the Tesla app that I was sent the message that it was a system generated price, so I don't know who I was talking to. Once I finally got a hold of someone at my service center, they immediately indicated it was a mistake and it has happened before. The SC was...

    Tesla advertising $1500 price for MCU2 upgrade, but charging me $1800.

    So here is what happened, I think. Let this serve as a warning to others. Somehow, Tesla got it into their head/system that I had an Auto Pilot 2.0 computer. I was on a chat with Tesla and they told me that this is why it was $1800. They pointed to the page and said that it doesn't say hardware...

    Infotainment Upgrade $2000 for AP2.0/2.5, $1500 for Older Vehicles

    My SC today told me the MCU2 upgrade is $1800 for my 2014 Model S about a week after I asked for them to install it. I didn't ask for radio and I already have LTE (if that should make a difference). I said they were incorrect, that it is $1500. The Tesla webpage here Infotainment Upgrade...

    Game Controller - Cuphead

    Automatic Emergency Braking Failure, the Movie

    I appreciate the time you took to post all this information. My Tesla doesn't have AP, something I occasionally have a little regret about. Seeing your video makes it more palatable. BTW, I have fallen asleep many times while driving. I used to wear a tilt monitor that would beep in my ear...

    Purposely Delayed Tesla Model 3 Refund

    Nevermind. I think I was looking at my credit card bank, but Tesla refunded only a few weeks after I asked for it. I think what might have happened is that they routed it to my bank for the refund. I don't see anyway to delete my previous comment—sorry Tesla. Luv ya.

    DOME Lights: Not LED?

    I did the rear, not so easy to pop off the trim. They are pressure clips. You can make a tool to do it (about a 7/8" square removed from the center of credit card, then cut the whole credit card in half). You can also pry, but I scratched my headliner a tiny bit doing that. Than I gave up...

    DOME Lights: Not LED?

    I have a good system for tinting the dome led's, especially if you want them warmer. Someone here posted about Gallery Glass Window color. It is a liquid than dries into a material similar to vinyl. I also found a near perfect hole punch to make the right size disc so you can just apply the...

    Supercharger - Plymouth, NC

    Watch out, there's a speed trap on the way to this charger. I was going about 15 miles above the speed limit (I know, bad me) and got a ticket. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't for the slurry of mailing from NC lawyers trying to make a buck after they saw a court notice. I got seven pieces...

    CPO-what issues/condition did your car arrive in

    Yes. The communication is good. The delays for the most part have been due to parts taking a while. It is the start of week 10 and I just got delivery. The Tesla people are all great. No game playing that I can detect. The car was in very good condition. How good is the CPO? I brought it to my...

    CPO-what issues/condition did your car arrive in

    It's been over five weeks for me with no delivery date. I was told new purchases should not expect a CPO delivery until as long as ten weeks (I assume that is in my area). They are still waiting on parts ordered for me. I am not expecting to get mine until another few weeks at least. I'm not...
