Maybe ironically Mars hits earth?Or, maybe a massive asteroid hitting Earth....
I think I have to agree that everything that could be said about the Supercharger team sackings has been said. So I will be reserving the right to delete any more comments on that subject going forward.Hi guys, no intention to stop your discussing those topics but this just seems way away from what this topic... could you create another thread for these discussion?
Excellent news. Hopefully we'll start seeing some more popping up.Some new Supercharger news - a new site in Springwood, QLD - Supercharger - Springwood, QLD
That's where he parts company with reality (again).Ma
Mars is about making human kind a multi-planet species...not about helping Planet Earth.
Interesting I've seen that happen in a really busy site, but I wonder if the new "vehicles on route" thing played a part here and it realised that it was going to be full very soon.Interesting thing I’d never experienced before (99% of my charging is at home) but I dropped into the Adelaide SC on the way home this afternoon for a little top up. I could have made it home easy, but the dog needed to pee and it also made sense to fast charge a bit so I can top up the rest at home tonight.
Only 1 stall in use.
Plugged in, get a notification that as it is a busy site my charge limit has been changed to 80% and that idle fees would be payable if I overstayed my welcome.
I was only going to charge to 80% anyway but if I didn’t see that notification and walked away I might have been miffed?
All the stalls did fill up soon enough.
Not a big deal, just an observation
Yeah I think it’s actually a really good idea, we only have 4 stalls in Adelaide. An awesome gray model x pulled up alongside me. The car preconditioned really early (I was still out near the Barossa) and gave me this so I kept on trucking.Interesting I've seen that happen in a really busy site, but I wonder if the new "vehicles on route" thing played a part here and it realised that it was going to be full very soon.
That's pretty cool if that's what it was!
It will warn you again before it gets to charging idle fees.
Mars doesn't have much of an atmosphere because it doesn't have a magnetic field, as its iron core is solid. Solar wind blasts the atmosphere into space.That's where he parts company with reality (again).
Think about it: Mars doesn't have a breathable atmosphere - because its gravity isn't sufficient to keep one.. That isn't going to change and even if it were possible to geoengineer one it wouldn't stay indefinitely.

My car charge limit was set to 100% when I got there (all 4 stalls empty, 1 guy leaving).I’ve never yet been at an SC where the 80% limit has been imposed, but I understand you can still manually override it by adjusting your slider back up above 80%. But I’ve also heard that at really busy sites at the busiest times of the year, the 80% limit is set, and it can’t be overridden. Maybe someone can confirm.
If I recall correctly, you would also get a notification to this effect on the app on your phone - you could check your notification settings and ensure that you've allowed notifications from the Tesla appPlugged in, get a notification that as it is a busy site my charge limit has been changed to 80% and that idle fees would be payable if I overstayed my welcome.

Yes that’s the notification I got. My iPhone is generally on silent tho, I just happened to be looking at the phone when the popup notification appeared.If I recall correctly, you would also get a notification to this effect on the app on your phone - you could check your notification settings and ensure that you've allowed notifications from the Tesla app
That is a temporary site that is only activated during peak periods.Charged at the Big Banana Coffs Harbour the other day. Terrible location (but that's another story) There are only two stalls, so anyone charging will use 50% of the stalls up, and get the high-usage limit. I just bumped it to 90% in the app, but have a two-stall site in this day and age is bonkers.
Arguably it's less bonkers than to have a functional 2-stall sled sitting in a Tesla warehouse somewhere doing nothing while queues are forming at other nearby superchargers.I just bumped it to 90% in the app, but have a two-stall site in this day and age is bonkers.
I’ve never NOT been able to override the 80% reset even when on almost full sites - I’ve done it just to see because I’ve never needed more.I’ve never yet been at an SC where the 80% limit has been imposed, but I understand you can still manually override it by adjusting your slider back up above 80%.

I also charged there on Sunday last week and there was another M3 there sitting idle. It was there when I showed up and there when I left. It's a weird spot though. Great view, but it's a long walk down/up a very steep hill to get a drink or use the bathroom!Charged at the Big Banana Coffs Harbour the other day.
