    New Tejon Ranch supercharger location

    I just checked Tesla supercharger map and it shows a new supercharger coming at the end of 2017. Not sure how accurate it is but it shows it as on Lebec Road prior to the existing one. Does anybody have any information related to this location? Thanks,

    Non Tesla charging at destination charger

    Pulled in to my favorite watering hole, Sierra Nevada Brewery for a quick beer and electrons to find Toyota Rav parked in one of the destimation charger spots ( they have two Tesla, 2 j1772 and a 50 kw ccs). Two leafs had the j1772s which left me the last remaining Tesla charger. As I pulled...

    So I've got a 2017 100d loaner while my CPO car is prepared. The audio system is great. How do I tell if this audio is the upgraded hifi or not?? Thx

    Casa de Fruta Superchargers (east of Gilroy, CA)

    Looks like a bunch of superchargers are being installed at Casa de Fruta. This could be good news for people heading over Pacheco Pass and would relieve the existing Gilroy location. Strangely they're not currently on Tesla's "coming soon" map nor on supercharge.info. Maybe someone in the area...

    Charging a Model X at 240v 16 amps vs 32 amps

    I have a L6-20 outlet in my garage so I was using my UMC to charge with that. The only problem is that it only charges at 240v 16 amps on the 20 amp circuit. Last night I installed a Tesla hpwc on a 40 amp circuit so it charges at 240v 32 amps. However, when I charged this morning, it seems...

    What cables were included in European version of S 85D?

    Hello, I will be purchasing a second hand Model S 85D (2015) next week in Holland... not a CPO but from a independent reseller. They told me that a charging cable is included in the car. I have a couple of questions on this that maybe an European 85D owner can answer. - Exactly what cable...

    Tesla’s new truck charging connector?

    Once again, Tesla seems well ahead of the “standards” organizations with their Tesla Semi and associated charging port. Pictures from the semi reveal show a proprietary charge port with 8 high current pins. If each pin pair could only do 120 kW (current Tesla charge port limit), then that’s...

    Group buy for portable charger?

    Just gauging interest for now. Saw all these recent threads about a dash cam group buy, so I thought there were also other essentials we could get at a discount. My other car is a Pacifica Hybrid, so using a Tesla charger exclusively didn't make sense. Despite the local incentives and rebates...

    2017 Thanksgiving Supercharger Report Thread

    First Hypercharger Locations

    I'm betting along I-5 about Sacramento to support the high density of long haul trucking from Long Beach heading north. With another location at Ashland and Medford, OR, Tesla will connect two large shipping centers.

    Tesla Megacharger Location thread

    So now there is a working copy of the semi out on the road. I'm presuming that given it's much faster fast charge rate, that it will only be able to use the new Megacharger Elon referenced in his presentation. The design of the Megacharger has to work with the semi, so presumably they have built...

    Second HPWC Installed (pics!)

    Got our second HPWC installed today. Both are fed 100A circuits from a 125A subpanel I had installed with the first HPWC about a year ago, and they are configured in a master/slave setup. Either car will pull 72A individually, or when both are plugged in they drop back to 40A each. I saw a...

    Miles you expect to obtain from friends, destination chargers, etc. but not from Tesla Superchargers

    Answer only if you’ve owned your Tesla for 6 months or longer (all units in miles). Include informal charging from hotel wall-sockets and RV Parks' NEMA 14-50s — basically anything other than the Superchargers, and not in your house. For this question, please also exclude your main business...

    Nema 14-50 to L6-20?

    I have a Tesla coming and my home has an existing L6-20 outlet in the garage. I know that it's not great since it's only 240v 20 amps so it will only charge at around 16 amps but it's a lot better than 120v charging. It worked out well for me when I had a Nissan Leaf. I'd like to at least...

    2-phase charger for US Tesla

    Adding Destination Charger to Map

    I've got a vacation property that has a HPWC installed and I rent it out on sites like AirBNB, VRBO, etc. Can I get the property added to Tesla's map of destination chargers, or is it only for certain partners? Does anyone have a vacation rental on the destination charger program?
