    Supercharger - Naples, FL - 12456 Tamiami Trail E

    As I see the number of SCs in Naples explode I'm really happy for the folks down south, but it sure would be nice for the highly populated Cape Coral area to see a little bit of SC love. Oh well. As they say in Casablanca.. We wait... and wait... and wait...

    Tesla FSD - A Five Year Perspective

    My hot take is that in silicon valley everything is perfect. In the parts of the world known as everywhere-else, people have generally crappy experiences with FSD. If upper management (aka Elon) actually sat in a car with FSD almost anywhere else, they would see how poorly it is at actually...

    My goodness. Is that all Tesla people, or have 4 cars already discovered it?

    Supercharger - Urbana, IL

    It's getting visits from locals. This is what it looked like yesterday. Tape is up preventing parking at any of the spots.

    Supercharger - Urbana, IL

    Tesla-only parking signs are up, but no chargers yet

    Supercharger - Urbana, IL

    New concrete pad is down for car parking. Ground is disturbed in area where chargers and underground conduit will go, but it doesn't appear that work as begun yet. Conduit is onsite (large rolls on right end of pic) and the two Tesla transformers are sitting on the left end as always but no...

    I'll be over by there tomorrow and was planning to investigate and update.

    Supercharger - Needles, CA - E. Broadway St. (LIVE 27 Feb 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    It's just going to have a LOT of eeeeeeeelectricity!

    Construction has formally begun. Pic taken 9:29am local time.

    Supercharger - Urbana, IL

    Looks like boxes have been delivered. Ground hasn't yet officially been broken but it can't be too far off with the mini excavator sitting there. Specific location of the boxes in plastic is: 40.115842, -88.182900 Pic taken at 4:45pm local time. @MarcoRP

    Supercharger - St. Louis, MO (BarK)

    All true and undeniable, and if isn't too late in the day and I need to take my dog to a dog park, research a new hot tub, plan a new sewer line, buy bulk plastic, get some custom welding done, have ceramics cast, or get a thousand books printed.. that location is awesome. If however, it is...

    Supercharger - St. Louis, MO (BarK)

    Apologies to those who love the location, but could this be anymore in the middle of nowhere?

    Supercharger - Urbana, IL

    I manage a place about 200 feet from here. I'll keep an eye on it (along with everyone else in the area, I'm sure!)

    I'm also looking forward to this one

    FSD for lower Safety Scores?

    So it did! Thank you so much!
  16. kvandivo

    FSD for lower Safety Scores?

    Just had 8.5 installed on ours as well and took it for an initial test drive. Had to break out of FSD one time due to it not adequately seeing a car that it tried to pull out in front of, but adequate other than that. Quite a bit more aggressive than we drive ourselves. Do we still have to...

    FSD for lower Safety Scores?

    Seriously? This is the first time you've been disappointed? I didn't buy until the end of 2017 and have had lots of opportunities to be annoyed with their decisions, policies, and release speeds. :)

    Poll: current safety score

    They are clearly doing a rolling release but out of several people I know on Android you are the first I've heard that has actually gotten it officially.
  19. kvandivo

    Poll: current safety score

    Apparently only people on iPhone need to calculate these things, as the app hasn't even updated in the Google Play store to be able to see what the score is at all for those on Android.

    FSD Subscription to start February 2021

    What is it they say... Something like: The first person to have a real self-driving car is alive right now!
  21. kvandivo

    FSD Subscription to start February 2021

    The holdup is that they want to actually release the new features and then, once everyone is impressed, they'll release the subscription model with pricing. If they released the price without first getting people on their side people will balk. Whether or not people are going to be impressed...

    Supercharger - Venice, FL

    I was hoping they'd go with Port Charlotte to evenly split the Sarasota and north Fort Myers chargers, but maybe they do this one and one in Port Charlotte (or Punta, where 17 takes off) later. :)

    FSD Beta Videos (and questions for FSD Beta drivers)

    Don't you mean: To reduce phantom braking, only use AP while following cars ?

    Supercharger - Valdosta GA

    The number of new chargers at Valdosta could be zero, so I'm not going to complain too much. :)

    You got your wish with Lady Lake. Opened today..

    Supercharger - Marianna FL

    Happy to help out. Just randomly came up as a property I might be interested in buying and, I still might look into it if it doesn't sell before too long. I'm never on that road because it just isn't "on my path" to anywhere (if it were on i75 instead of i10... I would be looking much...

    Use your own intuition, but on this listing one of the investment highlights says: Located off 1-10 exit. Proposed Tesla charging station. www.crexi.com - The Commercial Real Estate Exchange 2070 Hwy. 71., Marianna, FL 32448

    Why do you use TeslaFi?

    And here are the raw numbers...

    Why do you use TeslaFi?

    It WILL get better. I drove my car home from the showroom in -4F weather, and wondered what I'd gotten myself into. But, you learn to expect about 60% efficiency when it gets that cold and you just roll with it. (see what I did there?) Here's the graph of 45,227 miles on a pre-Raven, MS 100D.

    Charged there yesterday morning. Video of the site:

    Supercharger - Metter, GA

    Maybe they brought it up for Thanksgiving weekend, knowing that the work wasn't completely done-done and they'd have to come back later to finish everything up.
  32. kvandivo

    Why do you use TeslaFi?

    It's nice to be able to reference TeslaFi without even saying the name... Last night was at dinner with some people that somehow didn't know we had gotten a Tesla almost 2 years ago. During the conversation, I told the guy that if he was interested, I could actually pull up a Google map of...

    EV plates (Illinois)

    Got my one month renewal today. This seems wildly improper and borderline illegal if not entirely illegal.

    Supercharger - Metter, GA

    I think the attraction for just about everyone is being about to skip Savannah. Even though the airport is actually a reasonably nice place to have to sit, the # of chargers, the typical occupancy, and the fact that the charger just "feels" like it is out of the way makes it desirable to be...

    Tesla Supercharger - Acworth GA

    When we were there a couple of weeks ago we had a charger that wouldn't go above 65 or so. Switched to the charger 'next door' and it took off to 110 as expected. These things happen.

    MCU2 - Retrofit

    Could we extend that back a few days to at least Dec 27, 2017?
  38. kvandivo

    Tesla Supercharger - Acworth GA

    Funny. I'm planning to be through there tomorrow evening and had just checked T's website to see if it was 'in the system' yet. It's not yet on their website, so it's good to know that it is 'in the car'.
  39. kvandivo

    Why do you use TeslaFi?

    I honestly can't say. When I got my car at the end of December 2017 there weren't too many alternatives available then, so I had a TeslaFi account waiting and ready to go when I first sat down in my car in the showroom. I logged into TeslaFi right then, and have a record of every mile driven...

    Why do you use TeslaFi?

    It logs trips automatically. And the automatic part is the key. I take advantage of every opportunity to have things in my life done automatically so that I don't have to spend brainpower making it happen.

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    My bet is that HW4 will come with some changes to the sensor suite. I'm not going to wade into the quagmire of suggesting what the changes will be, but I'll bet they'll change.

    Supercharger - Metter, GA

    You're killin' me, Smalls
  43. kvandivo

    Why do you use TeslaFi?

    The Alexa skill/integration doesn't have anything to do with the car itself, per say. The integration just lets you 'ask Alexa' about things that you were normally need to go to the teslafi website to see. You can say 'alexa, ask my car what the range is' or things like that, and alexa will...
  44. kvandivo

    Why do you use TeslaFi?

    Don't know what you consider significant, but he is always adding new features concerning new data that is being sent from the API for the car and you can filter/sort on all the new data. He's also recently added the ability to have teslafi automatically turn on sentry mode at home/non home...

    Tesla autopilot HW3

    I'll bet that would be a relatively easy retrofit, especially if it is just used for surveillance (and doesn't have to feed into anything for real-time processing).

    3 maybe. 6 definitely.

    I approve of the poetic license you took in choosing the wording for your response.

    The «Full» in Full Self-Driving Capability

    verygreen - you could very, very well be 100% correct. I don't have a crystal ball, and you have a lot of behind the scenes expertise that I certainly don't... But I think you should change your tag line from 'Curious member' to 'Jaded'. :)
