I will take this up with my state's insurance regulator. Thank you for the advice.

They claimed the damage was due to wear and tear and thus not coverable.

I had comprehensive and coverage was declined.

I've never had a car NOT survive a rain storm, except for Tesla.

I had a 2014 Model S and drove it from New Jersey to my office in Massachusetts the day after Labor Day 2022. As you may recall, there was a huge nor’easter that day. Wet interstate and driving rains. I never drove through open water, just the deluge of a standard heavy rainstorm. That evening...

Frankly, I'm surprised there is no class action lawsuit about this.

I felt myself a fanboy due to the outstanding way the care drives and handles. So the let down was very bittersweet. I have read other reports of similar Tesla vintages dying after rain storms. I'm not aware of any damage to the battery from 8 years of driving and the care was serviced in...

I agree, I should have written ingress. Thank you for the grammatical correction.

I sold it for book value. My disappointment is that I had to invest $15K in order to get book value. Without this design flaw, my net would have been book value minus zero. So, color me disappointed. I'm not a troll -- check my profile. I had been an avid advocate for Tesla since buying my...

No, I no longer hang out here. I was googling water damage to Tesla and found this thread. So I posted. No, I am not in the habit of looking at my underside except when on a lift during routine service. I did love my Tesla for 8 years. Please don't feel insulted when I give my opinion that...

Sorry, not clear. Is it charging or not?

It was the cable, like TeslaTap said. This was repaired under warranty so I can't give you a cost estimate. Since that time, Scarlett has been clear sailing, except for last summer when she woke up dead 3 times, with 5 errors cycling through the instrument cluster. Car would not go into D, so...

Automate has been dead now for about a month. Anybody know how to get the developer to fix it?

My work is done here in Berwyn. I did have access to a Chargepoint station at my office so I was able to juice up before hitting the road. I'll have to check this SC out on another visit. Hope it opens for you guys during 2021! ;)

Progress. But many rivers to cross!

People who drive to the northern Philadephia suburbs (like me) from outside the area can arrive with their battery extremely low. Also, have you ever driven from Collegeville, KOP, or Exton to Center City around 5 PM or a weekday? Like I wrote above, this area has a relative lack of...

Coming back to the topic at hand -- this will be a supercharger with 16 stalls in the middle of the PA Turnpike desert. It's likely to be a very heavily used station. Locals, please post daily updates. I arrive on April 28th -- any possibility they will be up and running by then?

Like I’ve been saying for years, this part of PA is a well known supercharger desert. Sometimes the HPWC just don’t cut it.

Why aren’t you complaining more?!?!?! 💣

Once, about 29 years ago, I was in a supermarket in New York City and the checkout lines were worse than horrific. Everyone was stressed at how slow the lines were moving. An old woman was directly behind me and was becoming increasingly agitated. Finally, she reached her limit and started...

It was probably about that long ago. I only paid for the 5 minutes... unless you’re arguing in your spare time... 🤪

WARNING: This post has v11 content and does not attack anyone. My contact at the Red Hook SC advised me not to be the first one to get v11 installed. Meaning these releases tend to be overly bug-ridden at first. Sounds like sage advice.

I have in the past received updates from Service Centers that were not otherwise available to me. Is this a 5 minute argument? Or an hour?

You do realize that you are avoiding my point about delayed supercharger a in this corridor? Yes, these non-superchargers do help. See, I acknowledge your points (even if they don’t directly address mine)! 😃

Yep, it's helpful to have Doylestown in the mix. But if you're staying in Chesterbrook, Exton, Glenside, Plymouth Meeting, etc. and you are low on electrons heading to Center City, it's a fail. Just my opinion. KOP has been waaaaaaaay overdue. For a long time (at the risk of being...

It's very likely that a lot of drivers here will be moaning when it rolls out. Certainly seen that movie before.

I believe that v11 was announced last November. I asked for the update, since I have been surprised in the past with a service center's advance access to upgrades. This is what I meant by upcoming. See my response above. Did I really need to explain myself? Do you normally ask stupid questions?

I have been bitching about the lack of superchargers in the northern Philly suburbs to the point where I stated that Tesla doesn't give a rat's ass about this area. @tes-s pointed out that there are superchargers close by, but they are all across state lines and useless if you are low on...

“Upcoming.” English much?

Just a placeholder for threads on the upcoming update. I brought my 2014 S85 in to the Red Hook SC today for the eMMC recall repair. I asked them if they could update me to v11 and I was told that they "would have to order it." (In other words, my request was not understood).

Results. How’s the Woburn supercharger working for you? I’m just being realistic.

Tesla doesn't care about your speculation about where the optimal location would be. This potential location is dead. Unfortunately.

Beware this location! None of the 4 middle stalls deliver any power. This used to be a good location; I mean how ideal is it to have a supermarket to shop at when supercharging? I've written this up on the Tesla Forums and have gotten crickets. There have been issues at this location for...

I've complained about the SC void in SE Pennsylvania on the Forum: Pa superchargers needed | Tesla. To no avail. NO SC love in SE Pennsylvania. :(

In my case, it was 0 miles, not 0 percent. I charged overnight and Scarlett is up to 122 miles. And hanging tight for her appointment at the Service Center Wednesday.

At least 6 hours (since I last looked in on her; I had to since the car was no longer online).

I've decided that due to the expected damage to the internal organs like the sex parts, er, I mean the 12V battery, that my plan was ill considered. I needed to save Scarlett!!! I ran across East 79th Street, dodging the crosstown bus, to the garage. The car was still at zero SOC, with the...

I've been persuaded that my plan was too evil and that I need to go plug in Scarlett, expensive EV charger be damned!

Hi Folks! My 2014 S85 has finally hit a few snags requiring minor service. As mentioned in a another post, an electrical issue has taken out the following on both doors of the driver's side: 1) Windows are inoperable. They do nudge down when you open the doors (as expected). It is December...

Cal Lankton, head of the Supercharging team, wrote back to me today with the following update: "Apologies for the delays on this site – it’s been a bit of a nightmare with a series of legal issues. That said, we’re nearly complete and expect energization within 3 weeks or sooner. "

The check is in the mail. I swear...

Swung by in the gloom of dark last night. All kiosks hooded except for 3. I shook and poked the cable at one. Since I was driving ICE, I could not plug in and test for heat. Looked pretty desolate and sorry...

Shame this Supercharger is apparently dead in the water for now. I'm starting a weekly commute from NYC to Boston for a new project and welcomed the flexibility this location would have offered.

Any construction update?

Thank you for the update gutowskia! And nice X, by the way... Please keep updates coming, I will be commuting to White Plains starting next week!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be working in the hood next month and will need a charge from time to time.

Are there any lunch places within an easy walk of this?

Hiya Galve: I was plugged into one of the middle stalls, like 2B at around 1:30PM. Charging speed was standard for a supercharger -- after half an hour, I picked up 105 miles. No one else was charging. According to LeAnn the waitress at Café Crust, some other snook beat me to the punch and...

Here's the shot!
