    Q2 2023 supercharger locations new?

    Hi all Maybe I was not paying close attention or are the Q2 2023 locations to their Supercharger map new? E.g there is now a marker in Jackson. Feel free to create threads for each new location.

    Status as of this morning; Fence on Tesla chargers is gone but still no power. Talked to security guy and he said they finished yesterday. So hopefully the power gets turned on an day now.

    Supercharger - Detroit, MI

    Status as of today: DTE approval sticker is already in place. Probably at least a week to complete the remaining work + final inspection 🧐

    Supercharger - Northville, MI

    I must have missed @Nville S just by a whiplash. Charging was relatively slow for me: starting with 28kW @ 72% in my MX75. There was also a report of slow changing on Facebook. So if you are in a hurry you might wanna skip this charger unless someone confirms the rusty electrons are flushed out...

    Current status: 3 packages with 4 chargers each arrived together with 3 transformer boxes.

    Supercharger - Northville, MI

    Ground breaking confirmed—even so 4 years behind schedule. Also sad that nowadays Superchargers get ICEd before they are even built. I only live 8 miles away and will swing by every now and then to check the status so we don’t depend on out of state status updates 😂 Attached picture is hot of...

    Broken Falcon Wing Door Latch

    Part was still under warranty. Ranger came out. No realignment was done.

    Broken Falcon Wing Door Latch

    Yes HW3 already upgraded. Can’t wait for next software upgrade. Tesla’s are outdated as soon as you buy them. I could have easily waited 3 more month for MCU2 had I known. On the other hand still very happy overall with the car.

    Broken Falcon Wing Door Latch

    Scheduled an appointment still waiting for repair as said just happened. Btw. my X was delivered in December 2017.

    Broken Falcon Wing Door Latch

    My metal piece broke last week. Fell off when the door opened. Pretty sharp piece. Luckily no one gut hurt.

    Supercharger - Roseville, MI

    There is now an Electrify America charger under construction right next to the Roseville Supercharger. I talked to one of the workers. They just started digging a trench for the power.

    TeslaOffer Rocks (long post)

    Now I’m wondering if SpaceX would be able to lift a rock into space to make is all the way back without disintegration. Anybody out there having an idea of the size of rock needed? Bonus question graph of rock size relative to re-entrance speed and angle

    TeslaOffer Rocks (long post)

    All disappointed now—I was reading „Tesla offers rocks“—assuming they got into rock selling business. After all, the flamethrower was a successful product. They could offer rocks capable of even penetrating bullet proof Cybertruck glass. ;-)

    New Update - X Swerved into Other Lane

    I also have a late 2017 X and feel the last update was a step back. I have not had noteworthy incidents so. Maybe the ai is now prioritizing for HW3 or some of the rewriting they are talking about was switched over. As I’m almost not driving any more it could be also with the car not yet...

    whats the difference between tesla model x 2017 and 2018

    I just remember what changed was Free Supercharging for Life is no longer transferable. I’m still struggling with details of the cut of date. As I understand if car was purchased in 2017 the Supercharging transfers to new owner while 2018 cars loose free charging once ownership changes/when...

    whats the difference between tesla model x 2017 and 2018

    AP2.5 was introduced in August 2017. E.g. read When was AP 2.5 Introduced? Not sure if other minor changes were made in between but upgrade to 2.5 in August is the biggest change also trailer hitch became standard some time in 2017, so older models might not have it. Next big change was in March...

    I wonder if my wife would notice if I swapped your car for a new model year ;-)

    What do new Model 3 owners think about...

    People can see exhaust only during winter while it is produced all year around. Since I drive an EV I got a lot more sensitive to gasoline fumes and exhaust.

    2020.4.1 incoming

    One thing which seem to be new: If rear passenger is unbuckled the red exclamation mark is now a white triangle with exclamation mark. Clicking on it tells me rear passenger unbuckled. I wonder when they will start showing pre flight/drive announcement training videos. I’d like to have an adult...

    Anyone make the drive from Metro Detroit, MI to Metro Chicago, IL?

    I'm in Novi, have a 2017 MX75 and drove to Chicago with no sweat similar to jdchi with one or two stops. There is a Tesla route planer you can find online which shows you where to stop an how long. On autopilot the car makes the drive almost by itself. Last time I only needed to disengage once...

    Supercharger - Swartz Creek, MI

    Worst parking ever. Clearly ICEd — Did someone request towing? I wonder why this hasn’t gone viral yet. Some philosophical questions while we are all waiting for this charger to go live: Can a not working charger be considered ICEd? And if a charger state is unknown (aka Schrödinger’s cat) it...

    Automatic driving on city streets coming later this year!

    Not sure what timeline was missed? My Tesla responds to since month showing me an alert if it thinks I’m running a red light. Stop signs are a new feature which were just added before year end. Also automatic driving in cities is working as long as you follow the instructions and step in before...

    Another EV perk for not filling up at gas stations :-)

    If you don’t have to pay for gas you credit card data can’t be stolen at the pump :-) Malware at Wawa stores has been stealing credit card info since March

    Power steering issues

    Glad I’m not alone. Mine started with recent 40.2.1 software update. Not sure if this is related or not. I was also thinking to schedule a service. Keep me posted. I also have a 2017 Model X, X75 so.

    Not having regen after the last software update sucks

    Maybe we are looking at it from the wrong angle. Maybe Tesla is optimizing the overall electric usage / improve efficiency. Reducing regen might sound counter intuitive to being more efficient but if they save energy by not/less heating battery, maybe the overall efficiency increases. I only...

    Supercharger - Mackinaw City, MI

    I just realized I don’t recall where spring is in the 4 season of Michigan (almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction) and if it happens it’s on a Thursday and I miss it because I’m at work.

    Not having regen after the last software update sucks

    I’m also experiencing regen issues since I’m on version 40 with my 75x and before reading complaints here. Had the car for 3rd winter and this is definitely new and was not part of 39.x or earlier. Precondition solved the issue but I normally charge at work and not home. Having little or no...

    Supercharger - Swartz Creek, MI

    I highly recommend to observe if your car is charging before you leave the location, otherwise Finagle’s law will apply and your car will not be charging at the most inconvenient time as I learned the hard way... Finagle's law - Wikipedia BTW I’m convinced QM applies due to all the electrons...

    Supercharger - Swartz Creek, MI

    I have a theory why there is no more progress on any supercharger: There are now so many Tesla owners observing the progress of superchargers that the Quantum Zeno Effect can be observed. So can we all agree to no longer watch the state of superchargers, till they are done? For those not...

    Supercharger - Northville, MI

    The Novi Electrify America Chargers seem to be working now. Session fee 1$ 1-75kw $0.25/min 1-125kw $0.69/min 1-350kw $0.99/min Idlefee $0.40 after 10min I won’t be able to use them as I nether have Chademo nor CCS :-(

    Towing a car trailer with car on it?

    Never towed a car with my X. Based on experience from towing a trailer with almost nothing on it I would say cut your range in half. Regarding it’s performance watch this video of Model X towing an Alpha Romeo while winning a drag race against the same car. Unfortunately the full video is no...

    Valet Service Ending

    I understand that this is not sustainable and didn’t expect it to last forever. That said living in Michigan where Tesla is not allowed to have service centers makes getting the car serviced a pain. I could argue that I was promised valet pickup when buying the car as this was a question I had...

    Should Tesla give us the option to disable autopilot with a pin code?

    I highly doubt the car was on autopilot as autopilot only allows speeds up to 5mph above speed limit under described conditions. If on autopilot and driver accelerates a warning is shown that autopilot will not break and it is the drivers intend to accelerate rather than break. Possible other...

    Supercharger - Northville, MI

    Pictures from June 15th. Electrify America is installing four 350kW chargers and four slower ones. Still not clear to me how parking will work. Not sure if the cables are long enough for parking on the other side or they will redo the back.
