    Supercharger - Rustburg, VA

    I didn't really mean to give an update to this site, but I was driving by and saw something under construction and snapped a few pics since it looked like some EV chargers were being installed. Turns out that there is already a thread for this site :) That is a lot of Tesla superchargers in...

    Supercharger - Morrisville, NC (RDU)

    It's been about 3 months since the last update. I checked the app and nothing is listed yet. Anyone seen construction updates of pedestals?

    Tesla: Highlights from our upcoming Spring Release below

    Because Tesla wants you to buy a new car. :mad: Same reason older MS with MCU 2 dont have the "Car Colorizer" or the updated instrument cluster visual for supercharging (Sorry Model X was the easiest picture I could find showing the graphic):

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Thanks for the links but I dont think they show the real problem with the pedal cover and not the pedal design itself. On my Model S there is a rubber lip that goes mostly around the metal pedal especially on the lower side so it holds it from sliding up and off. I think the problem is that the...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Interesting court case in Switzerland linking climate change to humans right since it was ruled that it's "efforts to meet its emission reduction targets had been woefully inadequate". They are saying it could trickle to the other counters in Europe and UK, maybe an even more accelerated plan to...

    Yes, but mark the "red" black cable with some red tape on both ends so anyone in the future knows. Something kinda like this:

    Supercharger - Wilson, NC

    "Robbie Craft, regional category manager for Circle K, said the 24-vehicle charging station will be the largest supercharging site in North Carolina" Oops! Maybe not.. the Raleigh North Hills locations is also 24 chargers although it was originally 12 150kW v2 Chargers and they added 12...

    Tesla Model S - Parking assist failure fixed for free

    Great work and pictures, thank you for sharing! I'm sure this would have been a $600+ job at Tesla service since they would probably replace the parking sensor, charge you for that and then find it wasnt the issue and change out the entire wire harness. For you next wire repair it might make it...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    An interesting data points that still show plenty of growth for Tesla vehicles... I went on a nature hike today with a local group of people, we all met up in the parking lot and there was my Tesla, a Prius and the rest were SUV/Trucks and a 1-2 sedans. You would think that Eco-minded people...

    Supercharger - Huntersville, NC

    Charlotte is starting to look like Atlanta with the number of SuC locations in the area. :) Hopefully this location has pull through charging for Tesla Cybertruck and [boat] towing since its near Lake Norman but I think this shopping center might be a PITA to tow a boat through to charge (I've...

    Open Source Teslalogger on Raspberry / Docker with ScanMyTesla integration

    I just kept poking around in different settings files, so I am not sure which one had the wrong value.... maybe look at this one too: /docker/TeslaLogger/TeslaLogger/bin/Settings.json

    Open Source Teslalogger on Raspberry / Docker with ScanMyTesla integration

    I did the same thing at one point, so don't feel too bad (I'm a linux/docker noob myself). Are you using a Snyology docker container? I think what I did to restore it was Log into your Synology Open the "File Station" app Browse to /docker/TeslaLogger/TeslaLogger/www/admin Right click on...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    That is very helpful, thanks for your research. The most I usually get is the 1x beep once per drive when its a straight road and I am in deep conversation with someone and only checking the road and not the screen so I don't think the lockout should affect me much.

    Brown Metallic Paint Question

    Agreed. This site has a good history of the Tesla color options: Tesla Colors – Model S, 3, X, Y – The Ultimate Guide but unfortunately no numbers published of how many of each colors were made. Here are "rare" modern pictures for us to enjoy the classics :) Original Blue Metallic, Titanium...

    Supercharger - Franklin, NC (back Under Contstruction)

    Yeah, it does seem like that is the only official way to see the planned locations now. Unofficially there is a crowdsourced map of locations here: supercharge.info . It's a cool site that links to these forums and is powered by members like us to provide "boots on the ground" information about...

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    I already installed 2024.2.2.1 on 2/5/24. It's odd to me that they are releasing an newer version of the older build. The only issue I've found in 2024.2.2.1 (so maybe it isn't applicable) is that when you use navigation and you click on the "Next turn" direction on the top left to see the...

    Should I take a 4 prong extension cord

    Awesome! Yeah, it's definitely memorable and not your run-of-the-mill SuC location, that is why I recommended it. 👍

    To Upgrade or Not to Upgrade?

    I guess it depends on what your 2023 LR has since it was kind of an odd year for those builds. Do you have a Ryzen MCU3? "comfort" suspension? rear parcel shelf? Matrix headlights? Parking sensors? AP4 (I think late '23 came with this)? $7600 would be right on the cusp for me of upgrading...

    Supercharger - Chapel Hill, NC

    And at night weird things are going on there too, it felt like a "park and ride" parking lot. I didn't feel unsafe but that "people watching" was really interesting. I stopped to charge here the other night and 3 of the stalls were taken up being ICE'd. It looks like 2 of the cars were doing a...

    Supercharger - Sylva, NC

    Looking good in Western NC (with a little help from SC) with lots of holes being filled in and under construction!

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    I'd say those security improvements could be worth it if you don't ever plan to mod/hack your car, it looks like a lot of hacks were discovered at the last "Pwn2Own Automotive 2024" convention: Tesla hacked, 24 zero-days demoed at Pwn2Own Automotive 2024

    2023.20.4.1 Service menu: low voltage battery option added

    I think I did get a message about needing to get out of the car for the car to reset. Did you perform the instructions on the screen to unlock the gateway (I think it was something like holding the turn signal to the right for 10 seconds or something)?
  28. BrownOuttaSpec

    Should I take a 4 prong extension cord

    My vote is NO.. you should be fine to use a standard 120v 3 prong outlet at your stop in Raleigh to top off, and actually wouldn't even really need it unless you are rolling into town on "fumes". If they have a convenient plug to use then go for it, but if you are hunting for an outlet and...

    2015 model S - all 4 door speakers stopped working.

    That's weird that all 4 died at once, I wonder if the wires were all sort of failing and a large current caused them all to blow (loud bass in a song, or that "pop" sound that happens sometimes when you reboot or do an update) or if they all slowly died over a short course of time and you just...

    Supercharger - Franklin, NC (back Under Contstruction)

    While I do like this location more than Sylva.... why not both? :p It still looks like a large hole to fill in with charging. Now that Tesla wrapped up 3 locations in Eastern VA (Supercharger - Norfolk, VA - 1146 N Military Hwy , Supercharger - Suffolk, VA , Supercharger - Franklin, VA ) in the...

    Supercharger - Franklin, NC (back Under Contstruction)

    Nice find and thanks for sharing! This is starting to fill in the big gap on that side of NC. @corywright @Chuq and a few others are mods at the superchager.info site and they can add it for us.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    It's just the normal 10:30 am MMD shenanigans. Seems like they've been sleeping in a bit recently and the time has been slipping closer to 10:45-11am. I always try to tell myself not to buy until that time if I am looking to pickup some shares, with the RSI (relative strength index) being in...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    You missed that early bird sale this morning. Maybe another one around 10:40am though. I really wish Tesla would do a $1 dividend just to see how many shares are really out there.

    The Cybertruck is more expensive to supercharge than a Ford F-150 costs in gas

    Did the Cybertruck have All Terran tires on it? Did the F-150 have All-Season tires? I bet if you put All-Season tires on the CT, which have less rolling resistance, the numbers would be a lot more equal.

    Supercharger - Knightdale, NC

    Tesla WiFi now at this location! I saw an out of place looking pole with something mounted to the top of it at the far end of this supercharger location, unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the device but it looks like they installed Tesla WiFi and my car automatically connected to it at...

    Supercharger - Dillon, SC

    I am not sure why my expectations were so high, but this might have been the most unimpressive locations I have ever been to. Maybe because it was empty besides myself but It was just big flat parking lot with 9 pre-fab 4 stall superchargers and "manual installed" 4 pull through charging...

    Tesla recalls 2 million vehicles to limit use of Autopilot

    It's going to be interesting to see how they implement this on AP1 cars since I think the code is locked and hasn't has been touched in years. There is already a check in AP1 that limits AutoPilot to 50 mph on a non divided highway since an update in 2016 but sounds like maybe more alert...

    2023 S/W Holiday Update

    Pretty off topic to this discussion but... Can you go into service mode (1 minute into the video) and see all your cameras individually and verify your cameras are working? I am able to see what the camera see's individually (8:40 in the video) on my 2023 MY.

    Supercharger - Winston-Salem, NC

    It seems to me like there is some new initiative going on with new bollards, parking stops and signage. I saw 2 other locations (Charlotte - Providence Rd, NC and Matthews, NC) with a similar situation of new parking hardware sitting on the ground waiting to be installed.

    40A vs 32A -- Gen 1 vs Gen 2 Mobile Connector

    I would do the following: Give the old 40a mobile charger to the new owner of your 2015 MS Install a HPWC at your home with 40a max charging speed (No additional wiring changes needed, if you wanted to charge at 48a you would probably need thicker wire and a 60a breaker instead of 50a) Keep the...

    2023 S/W Holiday Update

    I have pretty low expectations for a exciting holiday update. The only meaningful thing I can think they might add would be the much talked about Tesla App Store but after watching this network packet capture video on YouTube I wish they would just clean up all their junk code before trying to...
