    Strange SC behavior at Harris Ranch today

    2A/2B always seem to give me a big problem. My car won't charge in 2A at all, while other cars have no problem doing so. When I charge in 2B (100+kw), if another car plugs into 2A, it will stop my session and show a red ring around the plug. I have to restart my session manually to get it going...

    Question on the SC at Gilroy , CA

    +1 on the wild charging differences...I tried two of the older ones and could only get 40kw. Then moved over to the newer one and got over 100kw. I made sure the plug was snug each time. No adjacent cars.

    Are the Tesla photos IOS app supposed to match with the actual car?

    yeah I think climate doesn't match...but for some reason my wheels don't match on my home app screen. not a big deal just wondering what could have caused that.

    Experience with Photosync tint on your Model S windshield

    another +1 for Premiere in Fremont... 75/55/45/35 75/35/35/35 rainbows on the front windshield towards the top and bottom of the glass where the curvature is the most. Nothing in direct line of sight. Would do it again!

    Are the Tesla photos IOS app supposed to match with the actual car?

    Are the wheels supposed to match in the photos in the tesla app? For example, if you ordered 19's but it has a picture of 21's is that normal?

    New instrument cluster trim?

    Anyone notice recent VINs have a thinner bezel that goes around the instrument cluster? I wonder why they changed that?

    During a recent service battery swap received an A pack???

    Got my car back a couple weeks ago with the correct battery...looks like it has no problems reach 120kw now. It feels much faster than 90kw, especially if you are only planning to stop <15 minutes.

    Harris Ranch is getting first battery swap station

    This is great! It's nice that 85kw owners can reach HR from bay area on a full charge, skipping Gilroy, swap for a full battery pack and get to LA, without stopping in Tejon. When the SC is full with people waiting, it makes the swap even more compelling. For 60kw owners, I don't think they can...

    Photosync Tint done!

    It was about $1,100. The front windshield alone was like $400. Premier did an excellent job, I checked all of the windows and edges and couldn't find a problem. The whole process took about 5 hours. I highly recommend them, in fact I am taking my other car there in a few weeks.

    Photosync Tint done!

    John@Premiere in Fremont, CA did a great job installing PhotoSync on the P85. There was another gray P85 at the shop which had 75/55/45/35, so I decided to copy them. It's getting pretty hot in CA and I noticed that the P85 gets really hot due to the huge front windshield. I really don't want...

    Anyone have experience with stationary storage for EV charging at home?

    Hmm good point. We have a 7kw system currently, but it doesn't really help much. I'm thinking some battery storage could help if there is a blackout, and EVs need to be charged...

    Anyone have experience with stationary storage for EV charging at home?

    I'm currently on EV TOU rate that is 30c on-peak and 10c off-peak. I have a need to charge during on-peak times so I was thinking of attaching some batteries at home. I know Tesla has a product for the home, but I think I am looking for something in the 80kwh range of capacity. Any suggestions...

    Why does the charge port light turn off after the car locks?

    Since the charge speed depends on the primary car charge speed it is useful to know if the primary car has just started or is finishing soon. The only way to tell right now is to plug in the secondary car and watch painfully to see if it can reach full speed. And at busy superchargers you don't...

    Why does the charge port light turn off after the car locks?

    Well, there are certain places where the supercharger cable can reach two parking spots. It would make sense if the previous car was completely done to remove the cable...

    During a recent service battery swap received an A pack???

    I find rated range to be quite useless especially when it matters most, long road trips. After picking up the car for the first time in the bay area, I immediately drove it to Los Angeles, which I almost ran out of juice because +40 miles above the rated range wasn't enough for going 80mph on...

    Why does the charge port light turn off after the car locks?

    if you press the button on the charge handle of a car in the middle of a supercharge (locked) what happens?

    Why does the charge port light turn off after the car locks?

    Wouldn't it be useful, especially at superchargers to tell when a car is done charging? Would be easy to tell which stalls to use for a faster charge? Thx

    During a recent service battery swap received an A pack???

    Well that B back would have been handy this weekend...Rolled into Hawthorn, Tejon Ranch, Harris Ranch, Gilroy with 20 miles left and left with around 180 miles each time. Tesla looked up the service records and agreed they goofed and gave me the wrong part number. SC will be swapping out the...

    During a recent service battery swap received an A pack???

    P85 vin p186xx was capable of 120kw supercharging. Then during a service visit apparently they swapped my pack to an A pack. Couldn't charge more than 90kw today. Has this happened to anyone before??

    Slowwww supercharging?

    when I arrived only 2B and 3A were available. I looked at the cars in 2A and 3B, but was unable to tell how much current they were drawing. I also looked at the charge port light and a couple of them were not illuminated. Unfortunately, I picked 3A which only gave me 28kw. Seconds later, another...

    Slowwww supercharging?

    Just got to Harris ranch in CA. 5/6 spots taken...loud fans from the switch gear...I am only getting 28kw, not exactly the speed I was looking for. There is someone in the adjacent slot so I am aware I am sharing with them. Is there some sort of cap for the whole station? Earlier during the...

    Anyway to combine 2x 32A 240V J1772 to 1x 64A 240V HPWC?

    There's a few places I want to charge with several J1772 available. I'm wondering if it is possible to build something that could combine the power into a portable HPWC? There would need to be some extra circuitry to protect against sudden loss of one/both of the J1772's...any ideas?

    How come there isn't a more aggressive regen?

    Yeah, I would like the P85 to come to a complete stop...For freeway driving, sure it is not as efficient, but it's a much better driving experience. I also agree the i3 regen is perfect.

    How come there isn't a more aggressive regen?

    Is it not possible to make the regen more aggressive than the two available settings?
