    Supercharger - Birmingham, AL

    Just a heads up if you are depending on this SC this weekend (or any other weekend this fall) The lot this SC is in @ the BJCC in Birmingham is a premium parking lot for the UAB football stadium. I'm sure it will still be open for Tesla charging (just an assumption, though) but keep in mind...

    Cabin overheat protection not working post 2020.32.3

    Since I have installed 2020.32.3, it seems that cabin overheat protection is not working. Has anything changed with the behavior of triggering COP? I'm plugged in but it is still getting to 120-140F in the car

    Aux input into Model 3 (or: FM modulation questions)

    Maybe I missed it in this thread or another thread, do you have some info on hardwiring the FM Direct?

    Aux input into Model 3 (or: FM modulation questions)

    oh, I get it. I really wish it had been an option or would be made an add-on option to get a hardware radio, but the addition of it is unlikely, and the best fidelity would be an app in the car streaming

    Aux input into Model 3 (or: FM modulation questions)

    I feel like a Tesla-like solution to this would be for them to add SXM as an app, like Spotify, and then you could stream. I've @siriusxm with the suggestion and they acknowledged it and said they'd take it back to their team. Tried to get Elon with it on Twitter but that is a crap shoot. Maybe...

    Passengers in M3 alone!

    This is how every other car works, exactly. Lock the doors, and then open the door from the inside and the alarm goes off. That's how alarms work, because they're premised on the fact that if someone locks the car they didn't lock a person inside and if the door opens when the door is locked...

    Tesla introduces time-of-day Supercharger rates at select locations

    Of course a flat rate is the most customer friendly for all customers as a whole. For some customers, TOU billing is actually advantageous, depending on the area and their work patterns. And in terms of fairness, TOU is the most fair as it allocates the true cost of the actual electricity...

    26 cents a kWh in NC

    There's more cost in running a Supercharger location than just the cost of the electricity from the local utility. Also, while I don't suggest that Tesla is charging outrageous rates just to make money, they are a for-profit corporation not a charity

    Tesla introduces time-of-day Supercharger rates at select locations

    I'm guessing in California time of use is mandatory in some if not all areas. In many other areas of the country (GA for example) time of use is optional, but not required. I'm guessing this is probably only going to be implemented in places that have mandatory TOU (which may be beyond...

    Receiving FM radio with HW 3.0 in Drive-in Theatre

    Does this adapter actually work with Teslas? I thought only a phone could transmit bluetooth to Telsas

    Positioning charger in one-car garage?

    So, I didn't really think about across from A, but that is not a bad suggestion. I am actually not entirely sure which wall the power panel will be on (depends which end of the building this unit is), but the unit I saw it is indeed on the opposite wall. This is all during construction so it's...

    NC Appraiser for Property Tax Bill

    I'm willing to bet where you live (which I think is California?) has "property taxes" on your car. That's the bulk of the dollar amount of most people's car tags. it's called Ad Valorem. It's not that unreasonable if you think about how much money the state pays for infrastructure for a...

    Positioning charger in one-car garage?

    I am starting the purchase process of a new condo that hasn't been built yet, as soon as I get everything signed they will start construction. I am going to have the builder put in a circuit for a wall connector in the one-car garage, but I am trying to decide what would be the best location...

    Fatal Flaw with Text Support (2019.40.50.1)

    A lot (if not all) of this sounds like bugs/issues in the Android implementation of RCS and/or Bluetooth SMS notification handling

    Supercharger - Birmingham, AL

    It is still a paid lot, and no, don't count on it ever becoming free. It's in a very heavy traffic downtown area that is growing. If they were to make the lot free, there would definitely be a lot of ICE'ing problems there (I'm surprised it's not already, but I haven't been there during an event...

    Supercharger - Alpharetta, GA

    Volta time limit is definitely honor system or possibly enforced by security if they were to notice you there (and if they cared) The chargers will go indefinitely, or at least they will go over two hours. I plugged in while I watched a movie and I went over by about 20 minutes (not proud of...

    Supercharger - Alpharetta, GA

    Doesn't seem likely with the stalls at Avalon going in. I'm sure they'll install their own Level 2 chargers, though

    Alternative Fuel Vehicle License Plate - Georgia

    APD definitely enforces when traffic is bad. Particularly during rush hours when the weather is nice. I agree though that it's under-enforced. I have seen folks cross the double whites in front of GSP before and they just don't care I wasn't required to do that, your registration in the...

    Disney+ on model 3?!

    Disney+ DRM does not work on Linux, which is what the MCU runs. It'll probably be a while (or require official support in the Theater) before Disney+ works in a Tesla

    Tesla Supercharger - Acworth GA

    I'm not against Superchargers (of any variety, urban or otherwise) at The Battery, but to be perfectly honest a location like that should be flooded with level 2 chargers (and there are some there, just not enough IMO). It's not a destination where you're going to go for 45 minutes or an hour...

    I have the Taptes center console tray Upgraded Center Console Tray for Tesla Model 3, Collects Charger Adapter (they have two, I have the one linked).

    Supercharger - Birmingham, AL

    So I am originally from Birmingham but live in Atlanta now. My first trip back home with my TM3 was via the Oxford SC and a hotel in Hoover with a destination charger so I could avoid the downtown construction, but it looks like this weekend I'm headed in for one day and will very likely need to...

    Aux input into Model 3 (or: FM modulation questions)

    The most correct solution is for Tesla to fix Bluetooth to allow non-phones, but that, too, seems a dead end

    Aux input into Model 3 (or: FM modulation questions)

    I've since gotten my radio in and installed it, and this is a definite problem for me in Atlanta. There are basically no free frequencies, it's basically find the weakest one on the dial and use it Unfortunately, the built in modulator in the SXM radio is at the front of the car and the FM...

    Slacker now LiveXLive

    I have to imagine that this is a catalyst to replace them in the US cars. Infotainment, as advanced as the interface is, is probably the biggest lacking area when it comes to owner experience with a Tesla. No aux jack, no satellite radio, only phones as bluetooth sources. Something has to give soon

    Aux input into Model 3 (or: FM modulation questions)

    which are controls that are also available on the Tesla touch screen. play pause does not help with changing stations or getting playback started in the first place if you weren't listening to anything before you got in the car

    Aux input into Model 3 (or: FM modulation questions)

    Yeah, but with an iPhone with FaceID it's kind of frustrating to deal with getting it unlocked and opening the app and all of that. If I can get a radio installed cleanly with decent audio quality, then it will come on when I get in the car and go off automatically when I leave the car, I don't...

    Did what? put an FM modulator in-line with the antenna? just curious as to exactly what you did

    This is simply not true, as an FM modulator of SOME kind will work. I'm just looking for the best solution

    Ordered 3 weeks ago, take delivery Monday, too late for referral?

    Yeah, his point was that even though it says it has to be applied, it can be done if you get with someone at Tesla. It's clearly not an advertised feature. Either way, I'm out of luck as I ordered prior to 3/21

    Ordered 3 weeks ago, take delivery Monday, too late for referral?

    So a Tesla chat room I hang around in said that you could definitely add it in after the order was placed but he wasn't sure about the March 21 order cutoff, that one seems much more firm

    Heads up: I am not asking for a referral here I have a Model 3 on order that i ordered on March 4. I take delivery on March 25th (this upcoming Monday) Is it too late for someone to "refer" me so that we get the 1k miles of supercharging? If not, how do I get "referred"? I haven't been working...

    LR RWD Waiting Room

    It costs money to move it. If it was in inventory at the factory, it'd probably match to you, but being somewhere else, and relatively far away, it's definitely cheaper to give someone a discount on the paint (since their cost is lower than what they charge) than to truck it from San Diego to Texas
