FYI we used this Supercharger twice the last 3 days, and it is working fine. Full power. Even though the Nav still says it is closed. It appears that the construction in the parking lot is finally completed. The temps were cold on both occasions though (near freezing).

No way I would risk it if I were you. You could charge up in Texarkana.... PlugShare But it will take a few hours likely to charge enough.

Interesting, this post. Because I have had an awful time at the Sulphur Springs supercharger with the same issues, extremely slow charging! It casts a pall over a roadtrip that would otherwise have been fun. Seems like Tesla needs to maintain some better quality control over their superchargers...

FYI the last three times I have stopped at Sulphur Springs TX supercharger (over the last two weeks), the charging has been super slow. Yesterday was the worst. When I plugged in, the car/app told me it would require 25 minutes of charging before I had enough to continue my trip. But it would...

I mostly didn't use Range Mode, didn't seem to provide much benefit and we needed max cooling! We had our AC set to 68F The entire trip....

I typically used the 4s setting while drafting. It seemed safe to me. Of course, I remained vigilant and occasionally increased to 6s when it seemed appropriate (for example construction zones).

Yes, the threshold seemed to be with an ambient temp of over 90F or so. Above that, the amount of AC available for cabin cooling was diminished. And with an ambient temp over 100F there was minimal cooling (although it seemed to keep the cabin below 95F at least).

My wife, 2 kids and I just completed a 3,100 mile trip from Texas to Wisconsin and back.... we went to Fond du Lac for a family wedding. Some stats from my trip computer for those who may be interested: Car: P90DL, 7 seater, 22" wheels. TX to WI: 1,377 mi. Av energy 411 wh/mi Total trip (TX...

Will do, although on my maiden voyage the Airstream felt a little too squirrely for me with a slight sway occasionally that wagged the X a little. Dropping the ball mount 0.75" down may help that a little, but I am probably going to investigate some kind of sway control. At first I thought that...

They are going to have it to get sorted out. Almost all manufacturers are switching to LED lights in 2017.

CURT 57003 LED Trailer Light Adapter, $23.99 on Amazon, free same day delivery! Works great and the Prodigy RF Brake Controller is good too. I have the .75" rise ball mount, but I think the front end of the Airstream is a tad high, so I am going to switch to a straight 0" ball mount. BTW, the...

On your first point, we tried that! Didn't work. Turns out the exterior lights are totally independent of everything else. On your second point, we thought of that too. I even have a Y-splitter coming in so that I can experiment wiring a resistor in, if the CURT adapter doesn't work. Anyway...

It should work, it really should. I have paired mine up already, and it gets power from the Tesla connector and everything seems hunky dory. Much better option than wiring up an ugly brake controller under the dash in the Tesla! Also, the Bowlus Road Chief 24' trailer uses an RF controller too...

Thank you very useful! 7-Way Electrical Adapters Yes, I am sure a firmware fix will solve it, but I have a short term problem and your info is extremely appreciated. Thank you!

Yes, that is why I assumed it would work! However, if that Airstream Sport 22 was a 2014 model or earlier, then it would have had regular bulbs for the exterior lights, and would not have been an issue. I have been in touch with Dallas Service, and they are thinking of sending another Model X...

Yes, it works with another trailer that does not have LED lights. We are thinking that since the current draw is much less on the LED lights, that the Tesla is being too smart for its own good and does not register the connection! Similar stuff happens with automation in your house, with LED...

Yes, it is wireless, but it is irrelevant though, the lights don't work even if I make a direct connection from the trailer to the car, bypassing the external brake controller. Also, I was told that the brake controller does a simple pass through on the lights anyway.

Hoping someone can cast some light on this, as Tesla technical support has been flummoxed by this one too. I have purchased a 2016 Airstream Sport 16, which is just the right size to be towed by my P90DL with 22" wheels... I got this trailer SPECIFICALLY for my Tesla (I have owned other RVs...

It's worse than that, it's physics, Jim!! I am getting the double vision during the day too, with red lights, even in bright sunlight. Makes perfect sense what is going on, it is due to the curvature of the windshield. It is more obvious with the red light, since this region has a longer...

I was driving in Fort Worth near Sundance Square last weekend, and ended up going the wrong way down a one-way due to all the construction and I did not see a sign. When I realized my ooops, I attempted to quickly take the next turn.... but a police office saw me and immediately sped up, and put...

Well, Cliff has come and gone, but never fear, he told me he returns to the Dallas area not quite once every year (think once every 18 months or so), so he will return. I had the 2.SS-3rd+option installed.... Best "stealth" installation using the stock subwoofer location (10" woofer instead of...

So am I ;) Every South African I know says Tezla.... But I am the same age as Elon and living in the US since the 90s.

The Model S. Unfortunately for me whenever I see a roadster, I just see a Lotus Elise kit car.... maybe Tesla can engineer their own sports car next time. ;)

South African accent.

Semantics semantics... There is a TESLive discount which would be honored for those in this thread. So call it what you like, but ultimately it is a discount. And the more who get into this deal, the smaller the travel expenses are. So.... let's get more people into this group buy! ;)

I am definitely in on this group buy. P85+, SS, 3rd row (kinda wishing I didn't have the 3rd row now...haha). Located in the M streets area.

The Teslas looked great! I and my companions particularly liked the dark blue one.... Beautiful.

I'll be there too, but not in my Tesla..... Wish I could bring both We have a guest visiting from Germany who wants to see all the cars, and since it has been so hot recently, I'll be bringing my Earthroamer. AC and espresso baby... I'll stop by and say hello.

I hope for the sake of the folks ordering the new "Ultra High Fidelity Sound" that it does actually involve some new components (especially speaker drivers made by a manufacturer that knows something about audio). If it is the same as the "Sound Studio" in my P85+ that was delivered two weeks...

Let me guess..... the Tesla drivers that came out are paper cone drivers.....? I am definitely interested in doing this on my newly delivered P85+. Any one else in the Dallas area interested in a group buy? The stock "sound studio" in my car is probably one of the worst "premium audio" setups I...

I know this post is old, but I'm a new Dallas-area Tesla owner and would be interested in being part of a group buy. I would probably go for the max stealth installation. I too have the Sound Studio package, and find that it is extremely mediocre. I can't imagine that any part of it is worth...
