Very interesting. I wonder if someone who doesn’t have unlimited charging were to plug in, would they be billed?

Does this mean it’s online now?

So close! Think it might be operational by 4th of July?

Anyone happen to swing by recently and can share progress?

100% agree and hope I’m wrong.

As much as I would love to have charging there on my daily commute, given that they're actively building out the Lynnfield stations now, I wouldn't be surprised if it was scrapped due to proximity. Would love to be wrong though.

Definitely noticed the IC had a warmer feel to it after the latest update. Overall, it feels like there's a slight brownish tint to everything. I'm not really a fan, but I've gotten used to it.

I had been tracking this thread for a while, but haven't kept up with the recent posts, so apologies if this has been discussed. I experienced similar rattling starting a few months after taking delivery, and had it addressed during a service visit in Late December. Looks like the same parts...

So a few weeks ago I contacted Tesla through the chat to see if I could get a different answer than what's been stated before. Unfortunately, their advice was to reset the trip logs and the nav destinations in history (same advice as before). I did delete a number of the previous nav...

Adding myself to the list. This has been happening for a few months now. The first time it was a real annoyance was over labor day weekend, when I offered to take a friend to the grocery store for cookout supplies and show them the car. When we got back in the car (~25 min later), we had to wait...

Haven't tried these folks for an EV, but they did install lowering spring on my previous vehicle: Eastside Motoring.

Yea, the battery temp was my first thought, but most days I charge after work, so it's been sitting in the moderately warm (~50-60F) garage for the whole day, and I would think that would be warm enough (but could be wrong). Yesterday I maxed out at around 60kW at around an SoC of 60%. It...

I've been excited to see how much use it's been getting over the past few months with the M3 ramp. In July, it was common for me to be the only one charging at any given time. Now, it's rare that I'm ever the only one, and once or twice it has been completely full, with mine coming in to fill...

Agreed. Except for late Sunday night, I just assume it will be full and try and hit Cambridge when heading north or just figure out alternate charging solutions.

Very true, I'm trying to get comfortable with it and learn where to trust it and where I'll need to take over. I'm excited to see it get better and look forward to helping out where I can. Nothing gets people more motivated to try beta products out than to know that their efforts directly impact...

Haha, yea after moving here and working in Beverly I was quite confused as to why some called it one over the other. I was a die-hard "128" when I was working there, and then became a "95" when I worked in Burlington.

I also had a similar experience, where I called in but since they mentioned the chat I decided to do both. While I waited to be connected to a rep (~20min), was chatting with someone on my computer and they actually came close, but had differing answers. I was trying to see why Nav on AP wasn't...

I've tried using NOA on my commute from Lowell to Cambridge and it's...a work in progress. Southbound: From the Lowell connector south to 495N, it took that exit fairly well, though a bit slow, however it didn't merge on to 495 without intervention. 495N to 93S exit it does well, but the first...

I've started using that Chademo recently, and it's a real quick detour from 495, with pretty fast charge rates (though not a lot to do in the area). A supercharger station there would be excellent, but I wouldn't mind if it were closer to Rte 3 to get NH commuters and closer to other amenities...

They could but it’s not very discreet and they’re quite heavy for just carrying around. That also assumes they find it and also that they’re willing to risk that it’s worth more than the effort of unlocking it. More likely another target is easier. As with all locks, the goal is not to keep...

Another option (came to me based on a pervious comment) is to look into locking gun cases. While it's probably overkill to try and weld one to the frame, just finding one that can fit in that compartment would provide the locking and wouldn't require any mods. Since there are a number of...

In my previous vehicle, Mercedes GLC Coupe, there was a lockable door for the equivalent of the rear footwell. As was mentioned, it wasn't much more than a hinge and a cam lock, but it served exactly this purpose since it had a similar hatch and that and the glove compartment were the only...

This is my biggest concern with FSD. While I understand it's still under development, but on average, I'd guess that I see at least a dozen of these incidents on my daily drive, if not more. I'll be driving along and the car in the lane next to me will stay steady, but the IC will show it...

I also wouldn't be surprised if the nature of the supercharger and which phase of deployment it was constructed in influences the location. For example the first few might have been placed wherever they could find space to enable some form of interstate travel. The next round might have been...

That's interesting data to look at. It also looks like there isn't much funding remaining? Is that just over the TTM or is it really coming down to the end?

Potentially for the last 2-3 bills, though I haven't dealt with the process after depreciation kicks in, so I don't know how the value is determined.

Indeed, I think you have 3 years from the bill date.

True, though the challenge is to find other options since the SC isn’t always convenient and no guarantee that it’s going to push when you’re there. If there’s an alternative, say a store or restaurant that someone visits a few times a month for extended periods of time, that’s preferable.

I think the question of what is an option vs another trim is an interesting one. In general the luxury vehicles you mentioned I believe are taxed based on the major differences which the manufacturer distinguishes by the badging and associated differences (engine size/performance, defining...

Interesting ideas. In both cases, I had been trying to find free options, but I may need to spend a few dollars.

In general, public wifi through internet providers requires you to sign in to your account through an interstitial page that the Tesla browser doesn't support. Same with Starbucks and many others (but haven't tried Panera yet) where you need to agree to terms of use through a page before you...

True, though I imagine, if I'm able to get on wifi for a few hours a week, that would increase the likelihood that I'd get the map update. Heading to the service center is pretty inconvenient, and depending on how often they update the maps, unsustainable to keep nav on AP working.

I think the failure that I see on point one is that it happens a lot in traffic/stoplights, even when there isn't a suitably spaced size next to me. As in the car to my immediate right is within a few feet of the car behind it, but it still shows a parking spot available between/on them...

Now that Nav on Autopilot has been rolled out, the lack of having wifi access at home is more relevant. For prior updates, the fact that the map was out of date didn't really matter, and I could wait a few weeks/months to connect to service wifi with little to no impact. However, after recently...

Been noticing a few skips since v9 as well. No USB yet, will setup soon, but every song or two there's a brief but noticeable skip of 0.5 seconds or so. Reminds me of days gone by with a slightly dirty CD.

I wasn’t excited about going after the abatement, so I waited until I got the right amount. Ended up taking about a week, which was a day or two after it was due, so the extra fee was small, <$5 I think.

Agreed on the callback feature. I'm not in the customer service field so I don't know what it takes/costs, but when I first came across that feature on another line, I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. Especially when driving and going through any surprise dead zones that drop...

Had my full front and rear bumper done at QCar care, and a day later got a rock hit in a place I don't think anyone had planned on: the chrome stem holding the driver's side view mirror. It's nothing major, but my initial thought was that seems like a place that would be hard to wrap, but make...

Stopped by after hours on Oct 1 and it looked like it was getting back to normal. Also, a day or two later, I noticed that it started showing as full service again on the map, which is great since that's a really critical stop for me when visiting family in the area.

I had to call in since they gave me a valuation on my MS75D of 98.6K. I faxed over the Monroney and the value was reduced (I forget to what exactly). it took my bill down from $1437 to ~$900. The most challenging part was when I was on the phone with the RMV, there was some confusion since they...

I've always found these to be in use. What would be great would be if they had a much larger section with just 120V access for a trickle charge. If I'm gone for a few days, that should be plenty of time to charge, and hold any vampire drain at bay during the winter. I've been trying to figure...

Thanks. This would be a super convenient place to stop for me to stop during my commute (no home charging), so I'm really excited about any SCs north of Boston.

Yep, though at this point, I've pretty much given up on using the bluetooth for calls until v9, hoping that maybe then it will work...who knows...

They’ve been really good so far with the ones they’ve installed and don’t charge for use, they just need a few more to complete coverage. Should have the next one installed near me by the end of the year.

Technically yes it is more harmful, but I don’t have charging at home, so I often charge to 100% at work and then immediately drive the 30 miles home and don’t charge again for a few days when I’m down to ~20-30%. Live in a condo, but the city is installing more charging stations soon, so I...

I was surprised with how much I had gotten used to the regen until I charged to 100% where you lose regen for a little while. In some cases where I can spare a few miles, I only charge to 96-98% to minimize the time without it since I hate how much I have to use my brakes again.

I've started using this method with my MS and it's helped a ton. Agreed, I really think the lack of true blind spot detection is quite silly, but given that it's not going to change anytime soon, this is the next best thing. Understandable, and in certain areas this is much more common than in...

As I mentioned before, it’s not about being too lazy, it’s about being in a meeting or in my office which is down the block and not always being able to run back right away. The charging estimates are helpful, but not always accurate and I can’t plan my day entirely around charging. Obviously...

I hope that fixes it, but realistically if you're getting one notification today, and used to get more before, the notification settings are correct and it's probably something on their end unrelated to the phone.

I've been going back and forth with Tesla on this for a few months. I randomly checked my account and noticed I had a ton of idle fees from charging near work in the Cambridge, MA garage. I would get notifications that charging was complete but since I never received any idle fee warnings I...
