    Supercharger - Austin, TX

    I work and live near this location. It's not a mall this is parking lot space behind REI. I've only ever seen one car parked in the 30+ spots back there in a few years. The spot is close to lots of great places. Sushi, Panera, Whole Foods, and a not very good Mexican restaurant also movie...

    Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

    Oh good, I scrolled through a few pages and thought I read back to when I was last looking through this thread during our road trip to Marfa.

    Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

    Sorry to derail the West Texas bashing. Construction has begun on Fort Stockton. Somebody from Central Texas group called over to a Flying J there and got this in response, "I started to ask those traveling through El Paso will look for signs of construction. Then it occurred to me I could...

    Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

    Gorgeous drive down I10. I have never seen so many wind turbines. We just completed the haul from Ozona to Marfa which is a bit closer than Van Horn. I drive a 75rwd. We stayed at 67 or below and charged to 99%. It was low 60s outside and averaged 330 watt per mile. Navigation was terrible so...

    We're going to make the same trip in April. What are you driving? How much battery % leaving Ozona/arriving in Marfa?

    Out of curiosity, what do you hate about your Tesla?

    1. Too expensive, I stress about where I park 2. I'm a jerk on the road sometimes, speeding past people 3. I think my dogs toe nails will puncture the leather, my fault for not understanding the cloth seating option 4. My wife is tired of me mentioning anything about the car

    Supercharger - Poncha Springs, CO

    Thanks for all the updates! This stage took months at the Austin Supercharger, so hopefully it's all good to go in April when we hopefully make a short supercharger stop here.

    Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

    There's one plugshare location in Marfa, TX PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You. I have been able to negotiate dryer outlet access on AirBNB. Possibly simpler is to just stay at an RV park in Marfa, TX which is what we'll be doing. I see three in town, one is the...

    Question on Spare power suppy in Mic grill

    2017 model s. I have continuity on F100 but no 12v power. Thanks for posting the fuse type micro2. I've ordered two different sets of fuse bundles only to find they were the wrong size. Guy at Autozone "I've never seen this type of fuse before" I'm registering several fuses as not having...

    14 volt line in center overhead

    In the center overhead dropdown, I tapped into the extra line taped in there. At some point, I must have shorted the 14volt line because it reads 0v. Anybody know which fuse controls this line? I had gotten a hint that the F100 fuse was for this line, but mine is registering voltage. F124...

    In other news, the Chinese restaurant across the street is mediocre but never has any customers. Great place to take my loud kids :D. The Taj something Indian restaurant is very decent. No don't call the guy listed on the public site, he's not going to pick up anyways. Looking at the...

    Supercharger - Austin, TX

    There's dozens of chargers that show up on the Tesla screen and hotels with chargers. It's really a very connected area. There's one 50kw Chargepoint charger downtown if you have the required adaptor. The regular Chargepoint are 6kw and pokey though. I'm happy to unlock one remotely if you need it.

    iceholed! Not much for updates. Porta potty and nearby construction. Saw a guy yesterday inspecting the cabinets. It all appears ready but no power for SCs or Clipper.

    Any Model S owners with an infant / toddler?

    2 year old fits great in rear seats. Refer to the documentation on minimum weight/height. It's roughly 2.5-10year based on 50% weight/height growth charts.

    Supercharger - Austin, TX

    Maybe it will go live. I waited nearly a month for somebody to waddle out there and install a meter at my house. Some local tesla owners notified the EV arm of Austin Utilities. Hopefully they can elevate priority of this project.

    Garage rash

    Hit my garage again today. Probably could use some tips on bumpers for the garage. The garage opening is barely larger than the car, so getting out has been very tricky. Does anybody have experience getting the ultrasonic rubber seals back into position? I tried pushing it in which didn't work...

    Meter gets installed after inspection passes. There might be a sheet taped to the transformer when inspection checks out.

    Tesla matches Carmax's offer here in Austin. The TX DS also said that was the case.

    Any Austin drivers? How well does AP2 hold up here?

    I've driven AP1 around Austin, it will do fine on Mopac parts that have lines. It had significant problems with merging lanes where the car would veer to the right. This apparently is improved very recently in AP2. There are several Teslas for rent on Turo in Austin and some with AP1/2. The...

    Essential Accessory List

    I tried searching for a list of some must/nice to haves but can't seem to find the right terms. I just ran across hockey pucks which seem pretty important for not breaking the jack mounts. Is there a list of various accessories to go along with a new Tesla? I'm a Volt owner so it was...

    Affording a Tesla

    Similar thing happened here Scoopa. My wife and I sat down to look at our expenses. We have started going out to eat significantly less, cut down on alcohol purchases and when meeting friends we opt for affordable beer instead of cocktails. As a result, I have significantly more money going...

    Lets discuss TX 152.090 sales tax exemption

    Any updates success/failure on this? I have houses in Travis and Bastrop County. So thinking I should try to use this legal argument in Bastrop first since Travis has been misreading the statute.

    Updated Model S - Rear Facing Child Seats Ventilation?

    I was in the showroom today, and he definitely mentioned the lack of ventilation in the trunk of Model S. It became a selling point for the 3rd row Model X. However, third row in Model X loses a lot of utility since the 2nd row can't be folded down. It does have adequate and separately...
