    REMINDER: Leave a gap on V2 superchargers

    Amazing how many don’t know about this... Reminding people/making people aware every other week, when there are plenty other unused stalls. Parking next to another Tesla whilst charging on V2 will share the speed. You might be happy with that, but the car next door may not and might be in a...

    2016 Model X Free Unlimited Supercharging Question

    Hi All, I'm close to purchasing one of two 2016 Model X 90ds. One is from a private seller, the other is from a Third Party Dealership. I've been searching the web but cannot get a straight, clear answer to my question so posting it here: Does Free Unlimited Supercharging (FUSC) transfer to...

    A 20,000km road trip in my new Model 3

    I just returned from a 45 day road trip in my new Model 3, which was over 20,000km (12,400 miles) all over North America. In the video below, I covered some of the best and worst things about taking a Tesla on a long road trip. If anyone here is thinking about taking their Tesla on a long...

    HELP! Model S Won’t Charge at Supercharger

    Hey guys, I’m in sort of a pickle here. Was driving back to Birmingham from Atlanta after a football game and planned on using the supercharger in Oxford, AL instead of using one in ATL for a few minutes after the game. Anyway, I pulled in with 10 miles range. When I plug in, it says “starting...

    Different charges during Supercharging.

    Hello All, I did a Myrtle beach trip over last week and for first time charged my Model-3 at Superchargers. The first 20 mins the Supercharger does around 450 mph - 525 mph, afterwards it starts dropping the mph rate of charging. My question is, after first 20 mins of charging the cost/min is...

    Bike Hitch Rack and Superchargers

    Planning to purchase a Thule Apex XT 5 to carry our 5 bikes. We might take some trips that require supercharging in Southern California. Are there any challenges with using this bike rack and fitting the Model X to supercharge? For 5 bikes, are there any other recommended bike hitch racks?

    V3 Supercharging tested by Motor Trend...

    Pretty in-depth, too, so props to MT for sticking with it to try to get accurate results. One key thing is mentioned in the text, but not given enough emphasis, IMO: Supercharing to 100% is rare, so the x% to 80-90% times are the useful figures. Tesla V3 Supercharger: We Put the Latest Fast...

    Unlimited supercharging disappearing from used/cpo cars

    I've seen tesla-info report that the unlimited supercharging codes have been changed to pay per use on pretty much all used/cpo inventory. So even cars built in say 2015 when all cars had unlimited supercharging are having it taken away when they're being resold by Tesla. This is not the same as...

    Forum For Supercharging?

    I don't see a forum that's appropriate to post topics about supercharging, which is a topic common to all tesla vehicles, not just one vehicle type. Maybe we could have a forum for questions that are common to all vehicles (not just supercharging?) Then again, there's a forum for autopilot...

    Who is supposed to get Free Supercharging?

    I'm confused by the changes in prices and promos going on... I already own a Model S and ordered a Raven'X earlier this May, and still don't have a VIN (Estimate delivery was May when I ordered - so that did not happen). Since I ordered, the price dropped by $2K. Also, it seems like there is...

    In my 2015 Model S 70D with 19" slipstream wheels; the onboard trip planner had been surprisingly accurate at estimating remaining SOC on MCU navigation on the original battery. I've made a couple of trips hitting some of the same chargers before and the cars trip planner had been quite accurate...

    Limited Expectations of Realistic Supercharger Network Expansion

    Given that the reservation list in the US is pretty much exhausted and sales of high end model 3s are starting to lag to the point that Tesla is laying off workers to cut costs so they can produce the model 3 base version profitably, it seems to me 2019 is going to be yet another year where...

    Current S60 owners - how’s battery/ supercharging?

    I’ve bought a Dec2014 S60 in September of 2017. When I purchased the vehicle at ~58k miles it charged to 202 Miles full. I was able to supercharge from 15 % to 90% in roughly 45 mins. Road trips did not require much additional time charging. Now, at 72k miles my full range is 187, with...

    Grandfathered in to free supercharging and connectivity after upgrading?

    I reserved in 2016 ($1000) and placed my order on June 2018 ($2500) for an AWD model 3. On 8/30 I edited the design and upgraded to a performance model. Do I get grandfathered in for free supercharging and premium connectivity for life as my order was confirmed before the cutoff date?

    Supercharging: multiple charging speed restriction?

    Today I had a long drive across the UK, twice stopping at superchargers. The charging rate during the 2nd time was much lower than I expected and the rate did not change throughout the entirety of the session. It reminded me of the new Leaf limiting charge speed during a 2nd rapid charge of the...

    New Nav trip planner behavior
