Hmm, interesting. Somehow mine failed in a way that was causing the 12v to drain. Guess it's a different failure mode. Still sucks...

Welp, just happened to me on a 2019 3 with around 50,000 miles. Got a notification on my phone that the 12v needed replacing, and when I went out to my car, it was completely dead. Had it towed to an SC, and after a bunch of troubleshooting, it turns out it was the PCS causing the 12v battery...

Yeah, I grew up in Chesterfield. It's about as safe as you can possibly get. So safe that the Chesterfield PD has nothing better to do than run speed traps, so be careful.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Chesterfield, but I've only had a few experiences. And yes, it was once a car museum, specializing in classic Mercedes. I went to a wedding there many years ago, the cars were the best part about it.

So a couple possibilities I wanted to toss out there: A couple months ago, I posted this about a utility locate request for Tesla. But the location is absolutely awful. I’ve been meaning to drive out there and see if anything’s going on, but haven’t had a chance. But, like I said, terrible...

Agreed, very strange location. I don't think it should be added to the map until we have more confirmation that it is an SC. I might head over there this weekend and see if there's anything going on.

I was checking out the Missouri utility marking ticket search, and found a recent ticket for Tesla charging station at 4051 BINGHAM AVE in the Bevo/Dutchtown area. The ticket was submitted by the same company that did the Brentwood SC earlier in the year. Seems like a very odd location, it’s...

I was in the area and decided to stop by for grins and charge for a few minutes even though I didn’t need a charge, and live 10 minutes away with 240v charging at home. Took me nearly 10 minutes to get from in front of Dierbergs on Eager Road to the charger. They really did pick the worst...

Utility locate request was submitted with a construction start date of today

Most MO Superchargers are around 25 cents. I did a road trip from STL to Vegas and they got more expensive the further west I went, IIRC Vegas was also 31 cents.

According to a post on the STL Tesla FB group, despite some fencing being blocked off, the chargers are live.

That was fast! How did this one manage to fly under the radar for so long? I'll be driving home to STL from Colorado next week. My overnight stop is Salina where I believe my hotel has an EV charger, so assume I leave there with 90. I won't have enough to make it to Concordia at least not...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I didn't edit anything ;) The trip was a piece of cake, I charged to 90% at ABQ and arrived at Gallup with 29% doing around 80 MPH the entire way.
