    New Michigan Superchargers

    Superchargers going in at the new Meijer gas station in Walker... It’s about a 3 iron from my office, which will come in handy from time to time! Google Maps

    Supercharger - Muskegon MI

    Just rolled in for a top off before a long trip out West. It seems to be working properly now, @Bgarret I was getting up to 54 kW, starting with a 60% SoC.

    Supercharger - Big Rapids, MI

    I average low to mid 400s (when the roads are dry). Average speed is 82 to 84.

    Supercharger - Big Rapids, MI

    If you live in GR, I think a round trip to BR shouldn't be a problem. I just ran up to BR from Grand Haven (back roads, driving very carefully), came back down to GR (at 70 MPH) and still had 85 miles left to get back home to Grand Haven. Not sure your range, but my older P85 will show 253...

    Finally got the new 2017.50 update... Wait, no Chill Mode?

    I got an early Christmas gift this morning. Finally getting off version 2017.42! I'm now on 2017.50.2, which adds the following capabilities: Easy Entry Battery preheat capabilities Santa mode Easter Egg (very cool!) But no chill mode. What gives? Since I live in the frozen tundra of...

    What (exactly) is a facelift?

    Thank you for the information!

    What (exactly) is a facelift?

    Newbie question... I see several forum members that list their Model S with "(facelifted)" in the description. I know that Tesla updated the front fascia in 2016, so is a "facelift" something that can be performed at a Service Center (if so, how much?) or is it the Evennex product that's...

    Anyone Retrofitted the Center Console?

    For what it's worth, I have the Evannex insert and it looks and functions great. The color match to my tan interior is perfect. For only $500 (plus shipping), simple install (it just friction fits into the existing space) and the fact that I can keep it if I ever sell the car were deciding...

    Not a great picture, but on the right, you can see the tall and short supercharger equipment and the larger green cabinet with the blue tarp attached...

    Perhaps that is the green cabinet behind these cabinets. That cabinet had a blue tarp tied to it...

    Here’s one more of the transformer cabinets. The concrete work is done, so It looks like only the charge cables and the fencing around the transformers, but I’m no expert... Should be soon!

    Progress on the “Muskelon” supercharger... No one was working on it today, but it is deer hunting season, which is an official holiday in Michigan. :)

    Do you keep Creep on or off?

    1 have to agree about having a toggle to turn creepy people off! . I’ve tried several times to engage the “Hill” brake. I’ve pushed on the brake pedal harder than I’m comfortable with and it still does not engage. Does creep mode have to be turned off for it to work? Is there a trick that I’m...

    Do you keep Creep on or off?

    I also tried turning creep mode off after reading this thread. I hated it. There are a lot of stop lights around here that are on hills and having to either throttle the accelerator or hold the brake (and having the car roll back when you release the brake) was a pain in the ass. The parking...

    Auto "Park" feature on a 2013 Model S. Who Knew?

    Hmm. We don't have car washes like that around here, but I know they are quite prevalent in other parts of the country. Why couldn't you just make the ride yourself? ;) Seems like an opportunity for a future upgrade, similar to the recent update that lets you keep your AC or heat on when you...

    Auto "Park" feature on a 2013 Model S. Who Knew?

    No, not that Autopark... I'll preface this post with saying that I normally wash my own car in the driveway, but since I live in Michigan and the snow is already flying (with salt on the way soon), I figured that I should do a test run through the local automatic car wash. As I approached the...

    2013 S P85, 41,000?

    I recently purchased a 2013 P85. Basically the same as you’ve described, except a pano roof and 35K miles. I had the car for one week and got a warning light that said acceleration was reduced and I should call Tesla. Turned out to be bad contactors which were covered under the 8 year battery...

    Yes. The only thing that you’ll miss out on is the app and the integrated calendar feature, which is pretty cool...

    Key fob with profile settings?

    Thanks for this, Max! I didn’t even know this was possible... Got mine set up today.

    Getting a used Tesla....

    Huard, Congrats on your new purchase! I just went through this process a couple of weeks ago. You don’t have to wait until you get the official title from the state (which takes forever in Michigan). Your temporary registration will work. Mine was handwritten, so I also had to include the...

    Supercharger - Muskegon MI

    I agree, Joe... I was joking about starting a long journey by “filling up”, that happens overnight in the garage. I’ve also had to use the supercharger in Grand Rapids as a lifeline a couple of times in my one month as a member of the Tesla Nation. Like you, it took me a little while to get a 50...

    Ha! True, Chuq... At least I can start my journey on a “free” tank and fill up again in Traverse City. KK
