Thanks for the link to BeLib. I have also heard that the IKEA chains have charging stations onsite as well. Is this correct? I tried to gather the info from the website of IKEA France but did not find any. Is there any way to check which IKEAs have this facility?

(opps typo in title , should read 'Charging'. TMC does not allow editing title after it has been posted!) I plan to drive Amsterdam --> Paris --> Amsterdam over next week with family. The plan is to use the supercharge networks to get to and from Paris. However, I was wondering if there is any...

I plan to drive Amsterdam --> Paris --> Amsterdam over next week with family. The plan is to use the supercharge networks to get to and from Paris. However, I was wondering if there is any convenient charging network that I can use in Paris itself for changing my Tesla S. The only networks I...

I am not sure what is going on. They called me just now to let me know that they are putting a temporary (!?) battery pack on and hoping to give it back to me by 23:30 today. When pressed, the guy said that the "on/off switch" was not working. I have no idea what that means and not sure why that...

Some typos here and there. Can't seem to find the "Edit" button.

So, it happened, yesterday and I thank God it happened when I did not have my two small kids in the car. Yesterday around 6:20pm when I driving to the Schiphol airport from Amsterdam town, I accelerated and merged into the traffic and moved from the third outermost to the second outermost lane...

Thanks, I knew I was missing something. Just did not have the keywords right to bring up the thread!

v 7 and older Teslas Does the version 7 update bring anything cool to us, the old MS owners who haven't done the upgrade.

Indeed. I have done AMS-Oxford (via ferry) and now this and it is not that big a deal anymore ;)

I know this is an old post but having gone through similar experience (a bit better at 16 km/hr), it would be a good bet to look out for street parking that have CHAdeMO chargers, if he is in possession of a CHAdeMO adapter. Even othwerwise, these street chargers have better speed anyway. They...

Due to some unfortunate turn of events I had to drive AMS-BCN-AMS in 3 days, the BCN-AMS with wife and two very young kids and I have to say Model S 85 (6.1 fw) came out with flying colors. All in all, we made 15 supercharger visits and one CHAdeMO visit (at BCN). Overall it was a great...

Same experience on my side and of course there are art that does not get downloaded :(

I don't understand why Tesla does not just use the embedded album art if they are present in the ID3 tags. That is what they are for!

Strange indeed. Did you do anything out of the ordinary last day or so trying to sort this out?

Perfect. Thanks!

Hmm.. It started working for me again! I did the following: 1. Took the USB key out of the connector 2. Powered off the car using "Power Off" button under "Controls>E-Brake and Power Off" 3. Powered on the car by pressing the pedal 4. Reboot screen and centre console 5. Put the USB key back in...

Kind of thought so, but thought I will mention anyway to cover the charging environment. Thanks for confirming. BTW I thought the S pack was 400V. Does that mean I have an issue with my battery pack? Or is it because of existing charge in the battery? :confused:

Finally got the chance to test the adapter at a lower battery. Started with 90km estimated range and charged at a CHAdeMO point in Amsterdam. The best I got was 366V and 109A (approx. 40kW) though the system was setup for 500V and 120A. These are the pics:

Just a heads-up. You might be getting your adapters soon. I did two days ago in NL - CHAdeMO Adapter - Page 49

I don't think there is since the sticker does not state a difference afaik

I will try to drain the battery and then try to charge. Anything else I need to do?

I may know why, but can't elaborate though.

Looks like it. I thought the US market had the adapter from long time ago and it was only recently released in EU/NL.

Yup, I am based in Amsterdam and so is the S. - - - Updated - - - Hmm... I just got a notification of a software update. Given that I did update to 6.1 recently, this new message seems odd. Anyway wont have time to update till night. Will let you know if it is anything related to CHAdeMO or...

Did not ask but if I were you I would call up and ask :)

Oh my.. There must be something wrong! Did they mistake me for someone else? And I am not even Dutch :) Edit: Just called Tesla and was informed that I am one of the few who has received it so far, but they are rolling it out for sure.

I don't remember signing up for beta testing :redface: You had me worried for a while!

Oh yes.. I was already at 257 km (hence the +21km) and had been driving for a bit (warm battery?) and I did not stay for too long as I did not need the charge and there were Taxi drivers waiting for me to finish. One of these days I hope I can draw the promised 135 kW I just wanted to check if...

:) Well Tesla has 45 PSI stated in the sticker and I had to google to convert!

The proof of the pudding is in the eating! De uitkomst zal het leren.

WTF Tesla. This is one of the most obvious UI that the user is exposed to and you go and mess it up royally! Pure aesthetics I admit but come on! It was working! Regression testing 101?

Got a call from TS yesterday that the adapter is available and will someone be at home to collect if delivered? In a couple of hours, it was hand-delivered by someone from Tesla (wearing a Tesla-branded jacket anyway). Haven't had the time to open and check etc.

I have dual-charger and now CHAdeMO :)

I got my winter tires a bit more than two months ago (I know, what for I ask now!) for my (leased) S and KwikFit gave me Pirelli tire that was inflated to just 30 PSI and they were pretty surprised when I told them that the recommended pressure was 45 PSI "That is too much!" he said and I had to...

CHAdeMO adapters delivering I jut got delivered the CHAdeMO adapter for my S, ordered a bit more than a year ago. The question now is - is it still useful? :) Edit: More pics added to OP.

That is what I have been suggested by the Tesla guys as well when I went for the all-too-frequent visit to the SC couple of days ago! - - - Updated - - - Thanks, I will try this as well.

Hi all, I am thinking of making a weekend trip with family from Amsterdam to Köln in the next couple of weeks. The issue is that I don't have the time to try and get hold of any local charging cards etc. (like I did when I travelled to UK). Hence, the question - is it possible to do the trip...

Confirmed from Amsterdam SC that they do indeed use Loogman. Just been there and it was a good experience. No scratches or blemishes I can see. Not very impressed with the interior cleaning. Looked like a hack job. Thanks @Basvdpoel and @ErnstT. Much appreciated.

Indeed, they only seem to have the "Titan" automated textile (as described by @ErnstT) wash. I am not against it if it is a quality work without risk of scratching.

Thanks, I did go through some pages in that thread but it seems to be more related to detailing etc. while all I want to do is simple car wash and waxing.

Hi, Could someone recommend a good service for washing/waxing the exterior and bit of the interior of the TS, based in Amsterdam? From experience with previous cars, I would rather avoid the automated car washes like the one in Total or even the semi-professional (but expensive nonetheless)...

Nice. If the roads were a bit flatter in UK like in NL, the avg could have been lower still I guess. :-)

Good luck mate, do keep us posted.

Had that in 5.11, had to reboot to get it back. Hasn't happened ever since though.

That is what I do now but that means I need to remember the route for a while at least

Been and seem to still be a long wait. With 5.14 no end in sight :-)

Hi all, Say there are two main routes from point A to B. I am not sure what algorithm Tesla maps uses to figure out which to use, but I think it is the shortest route. However it so happens that the unselected route2 is the one I prefer because it uses the highway (call it A10) rather than the...

Thanks for the informative post @hookmaker. Completely agree about the British roads and Wh/km :)
