Roadster is vaporware.

If there's a Supercharger on my route, I will use it. There are places, mainly on secondary roads, where there is a CCS charger and no Supercharger.

I had the retrofit installed on my 2018 LR M3 on April 2. It was $350, scheduled as a mobile service at home. Everything went smoothly. I tested it at a nearby Chargepoint CCS charger and it was disappointingly slow because the battery wasn't pre-conditioned. For CCS to be really useful, there...

EVSince2011 posted a new question on the marketplace listing September 2017 Model S 75D for sale.

The app adds to the confusion about what is being preheated under schedule.

It doesn't look like any station which doesn't have a NACS plug will ever be in navigation.

A Tesla mobile tech installed the CCS retrofit in my 2018 M3 LR on Tuesday. I tried it today at a ChargePoint location. There is a ChargePoint station about ten minutes from me at ChargePoint Driver Portal. Daytime rate is $.39/kWh, night time is $.19. This compares to the nearest Supercharger...

I have a Modern Spare and a set of pucks for my M3 with 18" Aeros. I put it in the car for trips. Flats are rare, but not unheard of. My wife's Leaf got a flat at home in a two week old Bridgestone. It had picked up an allen wrench which worked its way through the tread inside the tire. I...

The retrofit was installed today. I made the appointment last Thursday. I was given a 4-Hour window. This morning I received a message that a technician had been assigned with a 1-hour window. The technician arrived about 15 minutes early. After calling to say he was on his way. It took him...

You're right. I was looking in the wrong place. Thanks for your quick reply.

I am planning a trip and noticed yesterday that the rates for Superchargers are no longer in the app. I am running Android app version v4.31.0-2552. Is there any other good way to find rates?

Last Friday I scheduled a mobile service for next Tuesday. I approved the estimate, but I keep getting messages that the estimate has been updated. When I check in the app, the updated estimate is the same as the original estimate. After I approve it, the request shows good. A few hours later, I...

We had charging at home installed when we got our first EV in 2011. We got the ok to install two charging stations in the marina parking lot when we moved to our floating home in 2015. We would not have moved here if they hadn't allowed us to install them. Charging at home is a big benefit, as...

I just went to the service request in the app. It had a CCS Retrofit category which it didn't a little while ago. I have a mobile service appointment scheduled for next Tuesday.

Nothing in accessories under charging: chargers, adapters, or parts. Every few months I have requested the retrofit through service in the app. Every time they cancel the request saying the retrofit is not available for my car. At this point, the retrofit appears to be vaporware for my car. They...

There is no specific option under battery and charging in the app for me.

When I log into shop.tesla.com, it shows it's not yet available for my 2018 RWD LR M3 and won't let me order one. I'll be at a service center Saturday. Maybe they can install one.

2011 Leaf. Leased new. Replaced by 2014 Leaf. Leased, then purchased. We still have it with over 85,000 miles, no repairs or range loss. 2011 Think City, purchased new in 2012, totalled in 2015 and replaced by an 8,000 mile lease return 2013 Leaf which our son still has with about 75,000 miles...

My first Level 2 charger was free with my 2011 Leaf courtesy of an Obama stimulus program. It was installed before we took delivery of the car. When we moved in 2015, we had two EV's, a 2014 Leaf and a Think City. We installed a GE Wattstation Level 2 charger and used it and a Level 1 for a...

The voice command "front seat heat on" works on my M3.

I regular check eBay for parts for my '18 M3 which has no Autopilot. I have found good desls on parts like a set of virtually new aero wheels for my snow tires. Lately I get sponsored ads for defeat devices. Recently, as an experiment, I reported three listings as "prohibited or restricted...

Last Fall, I switched from Tesla to Nationwide's Smartride program. They gave me a one year policy for less than Tesla with a 98 score. That price is the maximum I will pay for the year. My wife and I have to use their phone based monitoring app for 3 to 4 months. The app monitors miles driven...

I think the tree is toast

I had a Lectron adapter I used with my 2020 Leaf SV+. It worked fine. They're often available at good prices on eBay.

I used free public chargers more when I was driving a Leaf. They usually worked fine. I don't spend enough time shopping to get much charge on my M3. I have used destination chargers at hotels on trips and, when they work, are a great convenience and save a little money. With two level 2...

We switched from Tesla to Nationwide a couple of months ago. The policy was a fixed amount for twelve months which was less than we were paying Tesla with a 98 safety score. We have a policy that gives a rebate for using their phone based tracking app. The app measures hard braking, fast...

Add an entry for Rodger in your phone book.

We purchased our M3 last fall and got Tesla insurance.The lowest monthly safety score was 97 and most months were 98 or 99. The first premium after the two months initial period was $66.32 with a score of 97, the next month was $59.23 with a score of 99. It stayed near $60 for a couple of months...

They show up regularly on eBay. There are a bunch there now.

The Tesla App on my Android phone updated this week to add WC Gen 3 support. With a little help from Tesla support, I added my WC as one of my products. My WC now shows up in the app, but the charge history doesn't work. It shows that my car is plugged in with the name of the car, so it appears...

I don't have a picture, but the two times I had mobile service in Portland, Oregon on my out of warranty Model 3, the technician showed up in an unmarked Model X. The guy was great. The job was done properly and efficiently.

You either need to scan the QR code on the QSG or the one on the inside of the front part of the connector from the Tesla app. That will connect the app to the Wall Connector. You can slso put the SSID on the side of the connector and the password for the connector. Those are in the QSG or...

We have had Leafs since 2011. The first generation ones were only for around town. We currently have a 2014 which we have had since it was new. It now has over 80,000 miles. No repairs needed so far. It's on its third set of tires and second 12 volt battery. It doesn't appear to have lost any...

The software screen on my Model 3 shows it is long range.

The main screen of the Android Tesla app shows that my Model 3 is long range. Have you looked there for your car?

Destination chargers are good for a place where someone will spend a chunk of time, like a motel. I look for motels with destination chargers where I can charge overnight. Generally motels do not charge their guests to use the chargers. For a store or restaurant, they're not likely to attract...

Right now, third party NACS level 3 chargers total approximately zero. Tesla has the technology now, as evidenced by the people installing the conversion themselves. Companies regular announce products which may never be available. That's vaporware. A new network of 30,000 level 3 chargers was...

Still no CCS modification for my '18 M3. Originally promised in Q1 of this year. Then mid year. Maybe they meant next year. Or the year after.

I have used Plugshare and Google Maps to help find stations when navigation doesn't get me there. Plugshare allows comments and photographs from users.

I requested it through the app a few days ago and was told it is still not available.

According to the site, the official retrofit is still not available for the Model 3. It still says check back in mid 2023. Next Sunday is mid 2023.

Sticking an NACS connector on existing non-Tesla public chargers will do nothing to improve their reliability. An Electrify America charger will not become easier to use or more reliable just by changing the connector. Last September I did a 1200 mile trip in a 2020 Nissan Leaf SV+ (210 mile EPA...

Probably because it's Winter there right now.

I am new to the TMC app. If I want to reply privately to a for sale message, how can this be done?

The problem with my Model 3 blind spot system is that it takes your eyes away from the mirror and the road. I preferred the lights on our 2020 Leaf in the corner of the mirrors.

Having tried a road trip from Oregon to California last fall in a Nissan Leaf with 200 miles of range, the abysmal public charging infrastructure was a major factor in our decision to buy a used Model 3. You may miss Superchargers. In a few years things may be better for CCS equipped cars.

That's 120, not 220.

I have a friend with a 2019 M3. He has charged it at home on 120 for 3 years. It works for his daily driving of 30 to 40 miles. We have had 2 EV's since 2013. For a long time we charged a 2013 Leaf on 120. We now have two 240 stations, a Wall Connector for our 2018 M3 and a GE J1772 for our 2014...
