    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Noticed Madras charging full on Friday before Memorial Day. Probably not the first time, but first time I have seen a wait!

    Transformer! Not sure if the chargers work yet though...

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Okay, just drove over there (three minutes from home), and they do NOT work (they won’t open the charger port cover door, which is good enough for me as not working). As per this photo attached, they once had the covers on the chargers, so WHY would they take them off?? Or why not use traffic...

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Pretty close to the road, so I was thinking underground, but I’m not that knowledgeable. That concrete pad has that diamond-plate access cover, so maybe? It didn’t show on our Tesla map yet in the car. 🤷‍♂️

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    I just drove by coming back from a work trip. It looks open!? No signs of construction, the “net“ covers are gone from each charger, signs are up. No cars charging, but I didn’t have time to go and inspect up close. No additional cabinets since last time thou either, but why would they make...

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    That previous photo only shows the concrete where that newer cabinet on the right was to go, but this photo may show some additional concrete beyond it? I wasn’t there this time, my wife took the photos. I will go and check it out again later this week.

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Looks like most equipment is gone and main work completed. But the protection posts still need to be added, along with some concrete work around the chargers, signs.

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Last night update. They have two electrical cabinets in, but if you look at that photo closely, all the conduits for the chargers come into that concrete pad on the left edge. Not much changed with the chargers, but this photo is sharper…

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    It's a huge deal! I bet this site will be packed with a line on July 4th weekend (hope it is opened by then!) Although it is not my thing or business, it would be a great place for a coffee/food truck stand ("Cafe recharge" "VoltCoffee" "LithiumLatte" or something!)

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Last night’s progress: nice shiny units in, and concrete was freshly poured for one of the electrical boxes near the entrance (Not pictured).

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    I didn’t look at the plans, but recalled reading a reference to the liquor store which would be south one lane, but sure you are right. Usually these chargers are off to a quiet edge in parking lots. This is front and center to the ingress/egress.

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Just picked up a pizza and the contractors have been busy! But I see I’m not the first to post about this! Also, seems like they put them one row over to the north from what was indicated on the designs (which is a bit more congested)? Not updated on supercharge.info yet

    Slacker Christmas music in April

    I noticed my Julie Ruin music is gone - wondering if they lost some streaming deals? It wasn’t available on Apple or Spotify, so I always thought that made Slacker a bit special…. With some research I see “Slacker” doesn’t exist anymore and it is LiveXLive? I’m wondering how Tesla keeps this going?
  15. Brian C M3D

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    Wow, those designs are awesome! I really expected it to go in the far North end of the lot, near the Mexican restauran, as that is a “quiet” area (I live near here). During busy grocery shopping, there could be some iced spots at times? Bit disappointed there are no pull-through chargers for...

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    I checked the Tesla website yesterday and they rescheduled the completion date to Q4 2022 😩. I was surprised as the superchargerinfo site as an arch of construction in Eastern Washington trending in the Madras direction, but 🤷‍♂️

    Phantom Braking Needs to be Reported and Fixed

    Yeah, I shouldn't have used the "icy" word in that context, as there are various meanings to "icy". Living in the intermountain west, every morning can be spectrum of icy, from just some frost on the road (common), to dry snow, to an actual ice rink (which of course we wouldn't use cc!)...

    Phantom Braking Needs to be Reported and Fixed

    This was the thread I was looking for, and reading everything, I see we are not alone! TACC is currently dangerous and a nightmare to use. Day or night, it is afraid of everything, braking, squawking, trying to steer - this is happing every mile, not just once in an hour, but at times every...

    Those who reset score - how soon after reaching 99/100 (100+ miles) did you receive FSD Beta?

    I just wandered on this thread, but we got FSD with a 97 score. It was at that number for month+ At ~97, but got it Christmas Eve. It could have crept up to 98, but they take away the score once you get FSD! (Weird?). Anyway, it’s not all it is cracked up to be and TACC is now unusable with...

    Supercharger - Madras, OR (LIVE Jul 2022, 8 V3 stalls)

    John Day's single destination charger is slow. Would be a great place for a small supercharger. I always see Teslas traveling Hwy 26. Baker is a bit out of the way if on the way to Boise from central Oregon. And yes, SE Oregon is needed too.

    Blog Leno Segment With Tesla Cybertruck Offers New Looks, Little News

    Watching that bed cover open and close, in the daylight, smoothly, quickly, and quietly was impressive. But then Elon stood on top of it!!! If that has solar panels embedded too, that's WOW!

    paper/marble dash?

    We have kitchen counters made of paper. Paperstone. Awesome material, and ideal for a car material for recycling (way) down the road. Obviously it’s waterproof and durable. It’s heavy, but our counters are a 1.25” thick.

    2020.4.1 incoming

    No, and it may be worse. Can’t believe this hasn’t been addressed. Drunkrobot

    Order went thru but no confirmation email

    Well after worrying about this issue all night, at least I’m in good company! I was trying reserve repeatedly and out of desperation I switch to my phone, and without remembering to log in to the account or even select the cybertruck configuration I wanted, I clicked purchase and it went...

    Windshield Replacement Experiences

    I had a big rock hit windshield at end of June. Bummer. Started with my insurance and was going to get Safelite over to my house to replace it (Maybe - parts unknown). Was worried about the calibration part, so call the Tesla shop. Learned the mobile guy cannot calibrate cameras and I would...

    Dog Mode Improvement Needed

    I would like Dog mode to still have a version of the Sentry mode - without the alarm/music blasting. Once you get used to the security of sentry mode, having it disabled is a bit unnerving. I suppose the dogs moving around in the vehicle will activate it, but there should be some work-arounds...

    Immersive sound SR+?

    LR Dual motor - I should have it for life, but I wonder if it is just gone now with the newer updates?

    Immersive sound SR+?

    I’ve lost this feature in the last update. I could tell the difference on the different settings, but I wonder if there is some intellectual property issue or some other patent thing that would result in Tesla taking this away? Like what happened to pole position. I’m not allowed to talk...

    Creep mode turned itself on twice in the past two days.

    This creep activation happened to both our driving profiles yesterday! Weird? Think rear view mirror adjustments were off too. Not related to software updates either.

    Model 3 : No Sounds

    This happened to me today. It was a bummer of a drive home from work. The “Tesla-Siri” mic doesn’t work either (couldn’t do a bug report). Did two rolling hard-restarts, and another one in the garage once reaching home. No dice. Thanks Moose408 for that exit - re-enter, as that did the trick.

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.48.x

    Everything is fine now. That window issue must have figured it out or was otherwise exorcised out! It only acted up that one night.

    Model 3 Software Update 2018.48.x

    .48 is buggy! Since update, we have had phantom wiper issues going on full speed in no rain, wipers not working in rain (automatically), app bug saying charger not properly plugged in, and now a phantom rear window constantly opening! Made the call, apparently Tesla tried to revert the...

    Waking Up-What's "Normal?"

    It have the same issue...sounds like we all do. The wake from sleep is a bit painful at times. Also seems like there is a deep sleep, as I get in the car and the screen will be black for over a minute before the T dimly appears and the system boots up. I can live with this fine, but it would...

    Loan rejected AFTER delivery?!

    We got our car last week- kinda an “instant car” situation, as it was delivered before we knew about it. We have had a glorious week commuting and otherwise driving around this amazing M3D! Yesterday we received a pile of letters rejecting our loan with Tesla! It’s all because we froze our...

    The App

    A little follow-up; we were disconnected all day and I figured it would be mid-monday before getting it back (or calling service), but I got a "welcome to Tesla family" email last night and I check again: re-connected! Yay!

    The App

    I have the same problem. Super lame. Probably because the paperwork hasn’t been processed based on what I’m seeing on the website (still “waiting on payment”). I hope it will be back up and running tomorrow. I wanted to play with summon today

    Is there a way to know if I'm getting someone else's reject?

    I didn't ask, but it also didn't seem like an option. (After 2.5 years of waiting and never actually seeing one up close, I will deal with the pain of the drive)
  39. Brian C M3D

    Is there a way to know if I'm getting someone else's reject?

    So yesterday I had just got my Tesla Financing info set to confirm, when I received the call (from Vegas) that my car was ready to schedule pick up and that it was already at the delivery center (Portland, OR)!! Had to scramble yesterday to figure out money etc. But today when I confirmed pick...
