    Less Nag ?

    I have regular Autopilot with software release 23.12.5 on my 2022 M3, I have owned 3 Teslas. I feel like there is significantly less autosteer nag. I can now infer that its based more on traffic, road condition, speed, than on time duration. In good conditions I can go a long way without...

    North Myrtle Beach - when ??

    I see on the Telsa map that a new supercharger is planned for a Target parking lot in North Myrtle beach in "Q2 2023". Any ideas on when that new unit will be open? We'll be in Sunset Beach for the month of May.

    2018 MR vs 2022 RWD Model 3 - great progress

    In April of this year I realized the resell value of my 2018 Mid-Range (MR) was through the roof. I ordered a new model 3 RWD while also looked at several other cars that did not match up. I put a deposit on an i4, but the end of the tax credit dulled my interest since it is about $10k more...

    What is the wait for Tesla shop mobile-charger delivery?

    Like others, I got the $200 coupon for a mobile-charger, so I ordered one a week ago. I got the confirmed message but no indication about when it might ship. For those of you ahead of me, any idea how long this takes. I don't really want to drive over to the Freddys burgers and wait an hour...

    Fisker Ocean... ?

    Fisker Ocean -- What's do you think the chance of one of these ever gets delivered. As a design, I love it. I plunked down $250 as a why not. Will I ever see it ? I have grave doubts. Is there anything that would make one think this would ever actualy get made, delivered, and function...

    Raleigh-Durham NC - good place to get tires ?

    Hi team. My 2018 model 3 is nearing new tire time. I remember two years ago there was a lot of talk about tire centers and having and using the right jack pads and methods. Has the situation changed much since then ? Where are some good places to get new tires now. Thanks all.

    WTB: J1772

    Hi. I am looking for the J1772 apapter. Yes, I might have lost mine. Even if I find it, I would like to buy a backup. I see the active thread below but it looks like someone might have claimed it. Thanks, David.

    One year ago today

    I picked up my model 3. I went to an otherwise abandoned building behind the pawn store parking lot, waited for an hour, chatted with a few guys that look just like me, spent about 20 minutes on paperwork, and drove off with Tess. It was one of the strangest transactions of my life. I...

    Look what I found...

    A pretty yellow bird parked right in front of me at the local taco joint. Beautiful I think. Badass. Notice the partial chrome delete. Hmmmmm. IMG_0702 by pipestem posted Jun 13, 2019 at 10:00 PM IMG_0701 by pipestem posted Jun 13, 2019 at 10:00 PM

    Superchargers needed at the N.C. beaches

    There is one in Wilmington, and one "coming in 2019" up near Duck. That leaves a lot of uncovered space in the 322 mile coastline with no good way to even get from one to the other. I want one near Morehead City, one in the southern beaches between Sourthport and Shallote, and one in Hatteras...

    Emotorwerks JuiceBox 40 - $280

    I have a Juicebox 40A EVSE with 14-50 plug I would sell for $280 + shipping or free local delivery. The output is J1772. Only used for one year about twice a week. Will recharge anything you have. Available new online for $440, so my discount is honest. Perfect condition and works great. I...

    Hello TMC, from the bull city

    Checking in from lovely Durham, NC. Current Leaf owner and it's a fabulous car; however, I really like the sport sedan motif so I finally gave in and ordered the MR yesterday. Latecomer for sure. I noticed the default delivery option is at home. I went with that, but I am wondering if it...
