I agree with Dave above in that it would take a long time before other manufacturers got around to that major of a refresh to change the port location. By that time there should be enough other ( hopefully working) L3 chargers that the traffic at Tesla will be less. Plus unless Tesla changes...

I don't think it's going to be much of a problem at first because for one thing the cost to charge a non-Tesla is anywhere from $0.10 to $0.15 more than what Tesla vehicles pay. Just to give an example of the closest supercharger to my house. It's 0.31 for Teslas and 0.45 for non-Tesla NACS. I...

The hotels in my area are all free although they're also supposed to be just for customers. As for other L2s out there in various places, they really run the gamet from Free to as high as $0.50 (yes, really, and definitely more than supercharging). Most in my area are of the order of $0.20 to...

My biggest Like is that electric cars contain a significantly superior drive train than gas cars. And it takes approximately 2 or 3 miles of driving (if not less) to prove this to you. Second biggest Like is along the greenhouse gas line. But so much more than that too. Gas cars emit an...

I actually press that from time to time because on my wife's car that's the exact position of the windshield wiper fluid dispenser. It loudly lets you know right away that continuing to hold it for much longer will result in an undesired outcome.

Yay, once this goes live the greater Cincinnati area will have caught back up with Columbus OH. 7 apiece

The deleterious effects of car fumes on lives and health is something that just a lot of people don't understand or appreciate. It shortens lives and makes people's lives who have existing health issues much worse. Yes, in my area still much of the energy my car consumes comes from fossil fuels...

My wife's 2020 Honda CR-V has LKA and TACC and it's way better than my Tesla Autopilot and has been for sometime. Why? Because from the get-go Honda (and others) has had no leeway for the kind of behaviors that the OP is describing. Aka, taking your eyes off the road, taking your hands off the...

According to Consumer Reports the best driver assistance program is Ford's blue cruise. Chevy Super Cruise comes in 2nd. Tesla is now down at position number 7, having been passed recently by VW and Nissan. Though Teslas "Capabilties and Performance" are tied or close to the best. CR dings them...

Any product with the active ingredient of calcium chloride (of which there are lots) works well, isn't as corrosive, better for pets and for your plants around your sidewalks. It's much more expensive so I use it in moderation; mostly the sidewalk and front porch. Mainly the walk areas and not...

They might already all be back in the repair shop. Seriously though, if you have a dealership repair due on your Tesla, get it done NOW!

Thanks for trying to update. I've never understood why Plug Share holds superchargers to a higher level than L2. The latter can be edited by anyone at anytime when there is wrong information but not so on Tesla superchargers. Seems like even L3 for other manufacturers can be at least partially...

Stopped by today and working fine. By the way, the red dot on the supercharge. info map page shows the correct address of 820 W. 3rd but the Google Maps link takes you to 320 W. 3rd. The in car Nav and whoever put it on Plug Share today all work fine.

Here's my experience for what it's worth. I've rented 3s Ys and Xs. Not an S yet. Are the hosts trustworthy? Yes, most want to please you so that you'll give a good review. But keep in mind many will also "check in" with your whereabouts, and charging habits to make sure that you are following...

I would definitely encourage you to look at various pricing because, in my area at least, there are superchargers in close proximity that have very different prices. The in car NAV will only choose the fastest route and not the cheapest. So ask yourself, is $ more important or is time more...
