What happens when battery technology advances to 400 extreme weather highway miles on a single charge? Do thousands of SC stalls get the action they need to stay profitable? Perhaps the number of locations that exist today are close to achieving that future state. And maybe Elon already has...

Yes, this does help quite a bit! I’m about 5 miles south of the NY state line on route 17 in NJ so from here to Bennington is about the same distance you described above, i.e. Princeton -> Hudson SC. A few additional questions if you have the time: - what size wheels are you rolling with? -...

* 350 wh/mi

Has anyone made the drive from NJ (northern) to this SC since it’s been opened? Just wondering if you can make it end to end on a full-ish charge in a MYLR with 20” inductions during Winter / Ski season. It’s about 160 miles for me and I’m thinking I can pull it off if I can average under 350...

My MYLR is 2021 - took delivery in early November.

Hi guys, I took a shot and put an ad hoc CCS retrofit service request for Battery & Charging last night for my MYLR and to my pleasant surprise Tesla accepted it. A ranger came this morning and performed the upgrade in my driveway in about 30 mins. He said this was his first MY, but the...

Hi guys, Does anyone have any info on when / where the new Albany, Latham, & Leeds SCs will open in 2024? I watched these get bumped from Q3 2023 to this year so not sure if there are additional issues going on. Thanks, Jon

* Update * Took the MYLR to Stratton Mountain last week and was a lot easier than expected. Ended up charging at the Crossgates mall SC in Albany on the way there and back. Not sure if I hit the busiest times for this SC but although we didn’t have to wait for a stall, both stops only had 1...

Update: Car was repaired by Prestige Collision in northern NJ. They did an amazing job. Here are some moments from the highlight reel: They offered drop off / pick up at their Paramus location, steps away from Hertz where I rented a M3LR Email updates every step of the way No hassle...

Hi guys, I got an estimate from an approved Tesla collision shop ($6500) but it looks like parts are on backorder with no ETA. Has anyone had this experience lately? Understood supply chain is problematic (still) and the company probably wants to use all available parts for new builds, but is...

Thanks, makes sense. I have a pretty big disk attached which seems to have only captured my discussions with the Delaware State Police 45 mins after the collision. I suppose it’s possible there’s more clips that have been marked for deletion, just not sure how I would get to them. I ran a...

Hi guys, My 2021 MYLR was rear-ended at low speed yesterday (hit and run) causing damage to the lift gate and lower plastic bumper by the tow hitch. I don’t think there is any quarter panel damage. Any ideas ballpark on cost to repair if it’s even possible? There’s a local certified...

* Update* So I chickened out and didn't take the Model Y to Stratton. I just couldn't get a comfort level with the destination charging situation. I will, however, make the leap next time as I think there will be better options going forward. That said, I have the following info for anyone...

We’re staying at the mountain watch complex which is across the street from a general parking lot with some level 2 chargers - I think 8. Not sure how busy they get and/or if you can plug in overnight.

Ok - I think we can do it without the box up top. It's a three day trip more or less so we're not bringing much more than our ski gear. I just tested the skis via middle pass thru and it will be fine. Tesla nav today says w/ current SoC @ ~ 56% I can get to Stratton Mountain in 3:40 which...
