Has anyone found a charge curve from 5%-80% for the new Long Range Model 3? If not, and you own the new Model 3 could you post a video for us? I've searched YouTube and Google only finding tests from 30%+ and usually standard range. I don't think there has been a long range 330+ mile Tesla...

Contacted my local Tesla store(Schumburg, IL), only RWD demo cars right now. The demo I drove initially was at a Florida store on vacation. Makes sense that the initial cars are only RWD, but they need to make this clear. The rep said they will be getting in the long range versions soon and will...

Demo Drive 2/6/2024 I took a demo drive today, I came away disappointed. I'm a first production 2018 Model 3 LR owner. -My disappointment stems from the acceleration curve. The 0-30mph(yes 30, was not able to reach 60 due to speed limits) felt considerably slower than my 2018 which doesn't add...

Okay, reporting back. Tesla replaced only the actuator. Error code is clear. Scan my Tesla valve position data is back! Hooray for working coolant loops. Was fascinating to watch the degree data move back and forth on scan my Tesla. Service tech said these valves are a common issue. I am...

Good afternoon everyone. I've had this error for some time now. I wanted to provide some observations. Scan my Tesla app valve position data is missing. This is one of the red flags to me that gave me incentive get this fixed. If SMT app can't read the degree angle the valve is at, then the...

I'm now on FSD Beta and because of this I'm going to be more fault tolerate. That being said, waiting on Tesla to review the logs. We can only speculate that the software stack for Tesla Vision interstate isn't being supported as they move to develop single stack. So, I agree with you they...

2022.20.9 as of Sept 13th. -2018 First Production Model 3 LR AP3 Upgraded -Road trip though Indiana Toll Road and Ohio turnpike. Daytime only. Positives: -Smoother braking and accelerating Negatives 1. AP FAILURE on the trip. I considered it a complete failure as it was accompanied with hard...

Drove by the west unity sites today. Both sites have the stalls installed, however there is major pavement activity in progress. Many workers on-site on each side. I would have to guess the site should be up by end of next month unless your electric utilities are as slow as ComEd in the Chicago...

This makes sense. The prices for the last few months have been quite unstable. 14.5 cents at 2am. I don't know how to code but I'm at the point where I'd like to try and code the Tesla unofficial API to the Com-Ed pricing. Have a little raspberry pi server check the pricing every 15min and if...

Both my B pillar vapor barriers were removed a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday in Chicago it was around 2F, the B piller AND front cameras were all blocked by condensation. I'm not going to contact service as it rarely gets this freezing here. However I'm curious on next gen Tesla models how they...

Thank you, at least I'm not the only one. I was thinking more salt=corrosion at the time and my car looking terribly dirty compare to everyone else. Door handle opened with a stronger push, not that hard. Also charge cable charged at 16amps till I fiddled with it to get the lock working.

I was incredibly stupid today. On the way home I couldn't stand seeing my car coated in salt anymore not to mention not being able to see out the windows. Well took it to my usual touch-less and parked it in the garage at home figuring it would look like a popsicle but a clean one... Well side...

I have same issue. Cold weather. Charge light stays white. I've been charging via app manual. The v44.2 update caused the issue. History: Apr30th delivery. Error with charge port door in the past but Tesla said I could ignore it and haven't seen an error message since. Question to you all: Do we...

The crash data log might be able to tell you at what speed the other driver hit you at based on the rear ultrasonic sensor data.

Haha, yeah.. that nuclear power here in IL makes it pretty cheap. However this doesn't include the numerous fees such as capacity charge, transmission fees.. My goal is to make a visual mock up of an official upgraded scheduled charging screen. For Chicago, I'm curious if we could get away...

Hello, have not tried the service yet, probably will today, however what would it take for you to program a field we can specify that will automatically charge our car if the price of electricity is under a certain rate? I'll attach some pictures of what I mean.

Excited, I'm ready for the Model 3. Tips: Got 3 bids using Craigslist, between $300-600 w/ parts included. On my post I asked for a 14-50 with pictures of the panel and my desired run and use of gauge 6 copper up to code. The lowest bid guy came out, great guy with lots of industrial factory...

Yeah, in the general thread. Here But I'll repost here, it's nice to get it's own thread. Funny about cutting the power, I would of drove my Honda through there if the road blocks weren't up. Hotel's deadline to open is October last I read. You can find out more here: Ghidorzi Companies...

Edit: x8 Superchargers. The guests will get a visible view but not intrusive, tucked in the corner. Cool to see a location built from scratch rather then a parking lot conversion. The hotel is to be completed before Oct 1st so expect this supercharger to be open by then. Google Maps

New Wasusa super chargers complete. Looks like 10 of them! At the new Hilton garden inn. Will post video tonight.

Looking good. How much longer till it's up you guys think?

Decided to stop by today as I was driving by. Flags are out.

Since I'm a Tesla fan my family asked me about Tesla's catching on fire. It's f'in amazing how much influence the media has on people. Unbelievable. It's amazing how many people don't ask questions and just believe whatever they hear. BTW love the gas tank puncture comment :)

Lets see more videos of the model S in freezing cold temperatures. I'm a fan(don't own one) but my guess is that the model s is way easier to start than gasoline here in Chicago tomorrow. Love to see a review for those of you who have your car sitting outside in negative temps.

My main question is: 200 miles, great, how do you charge it for trips? Will they licence the supercharger as rumored? Seems likely. Also, where is this 120kW charging Tesla keeps talking about but not delivering. Seems like charging can barely support 90kW anyway.

Six superchargers is NO WAY going to be enough, Chicago has a ton of Model S owners probably itching to take them up north. Between all the lake activity's and vacation homes. I'm going to call it and say there will be a backup at this location. Maybe I'm wrong and they will stop for only 15min...

I also agree. They can talk about carbon efficient, charging, price, cargo... Makes the most sense to me.

This is a tricky subject. I googled Gasoline vs Coal and found this 5 year old answer: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080927100559AAq4lTM In conclusion he says that coal is actually more carbon efficient if you take into account all the processing and shipping of both. Even if...

Wow, that hybrid sign is pretty stupid, but not as stupid as Fuel Efficient Parking Only which is at our AMC theater parking. I just sigh every time I see them, could they any more vague?

Correct in all ways. My def is 3-4yrs. Sorry, when I say didn't support tethering, I meant for free. After some research it's only been a year since the FCC ruled that tethering has to be available in 3rd party apps which means the carriers no longer charge for it either. This was not always...

Iphone's do NOT support WIFI tethering (as of a few years ago) I'm pretty sure they still don't without jail breaking the phone. Tesla Vr. 5 firmware looks to only support WIFI tether. I use a Android Motorola Maxx and use an app called PdaNet+ which works great on trips. Everyone can connect...

I remember reading something about this and a google search later I found this: @arthurblake Turning recirc off, windows closed and the right film on rear glass usually works. Am asking HVAC engineering to investigate. 25 Jun 13 Elon Musk I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't fixed anytime...

I meant between the Normal, IL supercharger and the UP. 417 miles is a big trip for the model s currently.

I'm also curious about where you charged. I bet the Nissan dealerships are getting frustrated with the Model S owners looking to use their chargers, I added the one in Wausau, WI on Plugshare even though I'm not from that area, I just wanted you guys to have that option. I look forward to...

Huh, I thought that is what she said. I'm a bit auditory dyslexic so who knows. She did seem new though, see had no idea that the website said "Hardware Upgrades" on the service page.

I've seen many Nissan dealerships on the U.S. Depart of Energy charging station locator website and they say "Public". Can anyone find evidence that this is Nissan policy? I bet the dealer just doesn't like Tesla Motors.

Just a reminder, if all the spaces are ICED then call Tesla, I saw this on their website: A non-Tesla car is parked in a dedicated Supercharger stall, what should I do? Please notify Tesla at 1-877-798-3752 http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger Also I'm familiar with these types of people...

YouTube has some videos of the model s hidden menus(fake or not i don't know) that show options for those features. Also the store I was at said those features are in the works and current owners will be able to upgrade their car. How much? I have no idea. Also, I asked about voice navigation...

Just got back, this will be my last post. Good news, he didn't say anything for certain. BUT he did say things like "This would be a great car for Florida" and "wow, that acceleration". He wants to show my gramma but she needs a higher off the ground car. So not sure if he will get one. Maybe...

I could argue their old car which is about 700 pounds less weight is just as dangerous. That was before many of the improvements of a shock absorbing frame, so their both flying bricks. The big difference is that my younger cousin who is 16 drives their car quite a bit and their old 3 star rated...

UPDATE: We are going on a test drive tomorrow. I got him this far. I'll be looking for that Tesla grin. His questions so far: 1. Reliability of the electric motor, bearings. 2. Having to drive it to Florida, charge times... waiting. He only drives there once a year. Range... (I said they can...

I was at Tesla Oakbook in IL. She said Fathers Day cleaned out any stock they had left, well at least what I was looking for. I was hoping to get the bright red with the white TESLA letters in white. Instead I bought a white one with light gray lettering, I wanted something rather then nothing...

Since someone bumped this thread, saw this Model S, 60 badge, a few weeks ago. I scared the CRAP out of my sister because I think I almost screamed "MODEL S!" She now is traumatized and has spotted one at a mall recently all on her own. Spotted on Busse Rd & W Lincoln St Mt Prospect, IL 60056 ‎

You guys are great, thank you for all the responses, it's great there are so many very cool 70-80 year olds on the forum who own Model S. I've just have to get him in the car! I'll look for that Tesla grin, he's hard to impress. And I'll let the pros at Tesla tell him about the car and answer...

Very true, that's one of the aspects I'm worried about. I've also heard the seats are not all the comfortable. I've never seen him get into a close call, he's a pretty sharp guy, very smart, still decent reflexes. I actually think driving that unsafe 2 star rated Cadillac may be more of a...

Yea American made is a big one, also he hates gas pumps too, he wears gloves. +1 He likes attention and talking to people about his purchases +1000xp

Hey guys, who are the oldest, hence, coolest members on here? Trying to suggest my grandpa, who is 81, to get a Model S. He hasn't got a new car since 2002, a Cadillac Deville. He complains on how luxury cars don't get good MPG but I'm not sure if that has to do with range. Which is a sore...

The design studio has one inside, you can see the front in the window, barely. I wonder what the supercharging station situation is at Hawthorn right now, must be some sort of line I would assume.
