Just picked up on this thread so I thought I'd add a few items, and comment on your list since I think numbers 1 and 3 may possibly be related. I haven't had the "shuffle bug" as its been described here at least, but that may be explained by the way I populated by metadata, which triggers a...

Any recent word on the Sheridan charger? It's been in permit for over 40 days. I seem to remember Pendleton going from permit to completion in less time than that.

I've got some more data points here. If you have set the Display settings under "controls" to "always on" I think what happens is that the media player remembers its position in the song/playlist BUT it wakes up and plays as the car is charging at night. I discovered this by examining my...

I know of no way to do this other then modifying the tags to remove all distinctions among the artists in the compilation, as you tried to do, which I think just creates a bigger problem than it solves. I think your "correct" way works so long as all songs having the same album name, and with a...

I'm having a hard time buying that. As I understand it, the U.S. has a National Electrical Code that may or may not be adopted by a state, so I'm not sure that you can generalize to what is or is not a code violation in the U.S. Also, even if a person's state adopts the NEC, the code would only...

Mis-spoke slightly. It's got a bunch of bloatware in it that loads up the computer with stuff that I have no use for, and modifies user registry keys that created conflicts with a lot of other programs, and made my computer a pain to shut down waiting for some Apple background function to shut...

As long as you don't need 100 amp service, do both. Have the electrician install a 14-50 and then jerry-rig a plug on the end of the HPWC to plug into the 14-50. This serves two purposes. First, if you move you can bring the HPWC with you just by unplugging it. More importantly, if the HPWC...

Yep - that sounds like what I heard. Possibly the proximity of the car behind me at the time I heard it was a coincidence. In any case, the behavior has not repeated itself in the 3-4 weeks I've had the car.

I gotta ask after looking at your name - you originally from Nebraska, or is this just how Californians get their protein nowadays?

I have no "albums" on the USB with my classical music. My "track" is one long file - no album at all specified in the metadata - and I selected the track through either the Artist or Genre tabs with the shuffle and repeat functions on, so if the song had played through to completion after the...

I could be wrong but it seems to me that the new overlay system displays varying shades of red/orange/yellow to indicate more gradations of gridlock. Again, maybe just my imagination but I presumed that this is what was going on.

I have the opposite happen to me. I leave the car to either charge overnight, go to work, eat, etc. and when I return the music is always on the same track I left it on, but more often than not it loses its place and simply starts from the beginning. A couple days ago I switched the display...

I've been having this issue, but since I just got the car a couple weeks ago I had assumed that someone at Tesla just didn't think it through and programmed the USB music interface to start again at the beginning of a song after waking up again, rather than preserving the position within a...

I would love to see an app that functions like MediaMonkey so I can play my USB music with the functionality that should be there. Tesla just can't seem to get it right.

I did report to Tesla but haven't heard anything back. The behavior hasn't repeated, so maybe it was just a software bug.

Think so. I was driving this afternoon and it took several presses, several times, to browse through music, but that's the only time I noticed it. Also, I've only had the car for a week and don't know if this is a bug, but after I park the car and leave it for a while, when I get back in, my...

No one could possibly drive using that technique. How, for example, would you set cruise control to say an idealized 54.32 mph to achieve the same "average time" that a driver would take on a trip of a specific distance if they feathered the pedal between 55 and 54 on a flat stretch of highway...

Was driving today over a bridge and someone changed lanes to fall in behind me VERY close. A loud beeping started and it sounded like it came from the back of the car. I'm assuming that the driver behind me was close enough to trigger the proximity warning - no contact occurred though. The odd...

I think you're changing the parameters of the original question in the thread, and in the process backing up my point. There is no "constraint of a constant travel time to achieve the same average speed." Not using cruise control lets you maintain more of a constant energy output while letting...

I agree. I've been experimenting with cruise control on basically flat terrain for a 20+ mile stretch of highway to and from work, and have noticed that with just a moderate amount of attention I can keep the orange line much steadier than cruise control will, which jitters quite a bit. My guess...

Slight correction to the post above - today when I drove the car, the currently-playing list of songs continued from where I left off yesterday, so there must have just been some glitch earlier when the media player stopped.

I think that's right but with one caveat, at least with respect to Mediamonkey, where tracks having a blank field for album artist are also grouped together and treated as being within a single album. In any case, I think Tesla has really screwed up the organizational aspects of the USB music...

After reading more threads, the noise and vibration I felt could have been the lane departure warning, since I was driving on a two-way street with a lot of curves.

Teslarati's supercharger map is now showing a permit.

Is there a small vibration in the steering wheel with this milling sound? Just took delivery today and a few times I noticed a brief vibration in the wheel and what seemed like a high pitched scraping sound as I was depressing the accelerator slightly.

1.99% at PointWest CU in Portland, Oregon for a 72-month loan.

Unfortunately, I avoid iTunes like the plague. Too much spyware/marketingware. I organize and tag my files in Mediamonkey which is perfect for my needs. In fact, the absolutely ideal solution would be for Tesla to just contract out to have the Mediamonkey people do a music interface for the...

It's useful, but it doesn't completely solve the problem because it eliminates the intended use of the "Genre" tag. Say I have my music collection on one thumb drive, with Blues, Classic Rock, Classical, and Jazz tracks all tagged with the relevant Genres, and then I want to also create...

I actually think that the promotional value of having a coast-to-coast trip would make more sense at start-up than the weekend destination plan. The coast-to-coast route immediately shows potential buyers that the car will be able to go anywhere as soon as the network is built, plus destination...

I'm not questioning the usefulness of superchargers at those locations. My only point was that when it was important to complete all the dots along a meandering route chosen solely for its sentimental value to Musk, Tesla had no problems installing Superchargers in remote locations. This is...

This is getting frustrating for those of us who would like to drive that corridor. It certainly appears that somebody at Tesla has their priorities out of whack. If they can put Superchargers in Beaver UT, Grand Junction CO, Lusk WY, three at regular intervals in South Dakota, and three more...

That's correct. I depress the clutch, shift to first, and then let the clutch out a little more slowly than normal to transition from moving backwards to forwards. I suppose in an automatic (been a while since I've driven one) I'd have my foot on the brake when shifting from R to D, but I can't...

Are you saying that the car does not change from Reverse to Drive and vice versa unless you come to a complete stop during the transition? That would seem to invite accidents. I'm used to driving a manual transmission and I often switch from reverse to first gear while still moving backwards.

Very little information about Yellowstone in the press release, which was primarily centered around other national parks, like the petrified forest and one off on the Virgin Islands. The only thing it mentioned about Yellowstone and the Tetons was that the forest service planned on buying more...

Not anymore. The current specification sheet indicates that driver profiles are standard, along with navigation, daytime running lights, and parking sensors.

Choice matters. Not everyone likes Subway, for example, which is essentially what Tesla would be selecting for everybody if they located a Supercharger in Moorcroft. Pick Gillette, and you'll have at least 7-10 choices within walking distance. And as I said earlier, Buffalo has limited location...

Buffalo is approximately 1/3 to 1/4 the size of Sheridan, which itself isn't exactly a metropolis. If Tesla set their eyes on Buffalo for a supercharger, they would have to hope that the one feasible site with nearby restaurants (maybe a couple fast food chains) and motels would agree to the...

I'm in for $75. One other suggestion would be to see if the owner would keep a list of contributors and waive the nominal fee for those who contribute and subsequently stop for a quick charge. It doesn't seem to make sense to pay to charge at a HPWC that you helped fund.

I have yet to take delivery (late April) but prior to placing my deposit I compared standard to UHF sound using uncompressed .wav files of both Classical and Classic Rock tracks, and heard a clear difference. There was one song in particular that on standard car audio tends to get muddy on a...

In Gillette, from Google maps it looks like the area around Exit 126 has lots of parking and restaurants to accommodate a.Supercharger. Also, there is a Holiday Inn Express in the neighborhood - might that not be an opportunity for a destination HPWC, so that Tesla drivers on this cross-country...

That's the kind of inconvenience I could live with. What I'd rather have is a more comprehensive browsing hierarchy to play multi-artist albums, for example, or to be able to sort songs by composer instead of merely artist. I'd also like to see a "track number" play order in album view instead...

I'm not sure that this evidences non-random behavior. If you are shuffling your entire collection and the shuffle is random, out of 4000 songs there will be many coincidental instances of songs from the same album playing somewhat close to each other, just because you have so many albums from...

Am I correct in thinking that, during time periods when the 85kW (or 60kW) battery is either operating the car while driving for example, or recharging from a wall outlet, that the 12V battery in front is no longer discharging to meet any of the car's power requirements? My assumption is that...
