    Charging at Nemacolin?

    I'm presently visiting 29 miles from Nemacolin Woodlands so made a quick run there to check on the HPWC's. There are two HPWC's at the Chalet/Lodge operating at 40amps. Talked to Valet Garnett there and he said they will accommodate non-guests without any costs if they are not being used...

    Blackvue Installers in South Florida?

    I recommend googling your area for a sound/audio company, which has a busy store front business, and installs audio systems in cars. They are usually very qualified to install carcams and are often reasonably priced. Had mine installed in Daytona Beach by Soundcrafters. Took them about 1 1/2...

    Let's Talk FPL Rate Options

    My experience with FPL TOU tracks with what aviator99 posted. You have to pay for the meter and, in my case, there was an increase in my monthly usage vs the residential meter. Here is where there was discussion on this on an earlier posting and my reply to it. If you call Tammy on it, she no...

    Supercharger - Warsaw, NC (closed)

    One other place, which is highly unlikely since it's 20 miles down the road, is at the Wallace exit, since there is a Holiday Inn Express right there and Tesla already has a supercharger at the Holiday Inn Express in Plymouth NC as well as another location that I can't remember at the moment...

    Auto Homelink issues?

    I previously had the same exact situation as you're having but I finally got the drop down menu (countdown 20ft) to appear when I put it in reverse to back out. I'm not sure if the procedures I followed in my post #102 cleared things up but for the most part it works every time when backing the...

    Auto Homelink issues?

    I've obviously misread the release notes for 71 re Homeline: Auto-Open/Close. I did not understand that when you put the car in reverse the car should auto open the garage door when backing out. One can infer from the notes that this is the way that it should function. My garage door will not...

    Hotels in Florida with Charging Stations

    Larry: After reading the plugshare comments, which I wasn't aware of before you cited it, I suspect the plug share information is correct. The guy I spoke to in engineering probably meant that all the plugs could be used by Tesla. He just didn't get his language correct, i.e,, HPWC vs J1772...
