    Supercharger - Weed, CA (under construction, 16 V4 stalls)

    When we see "V3" and "V4" in supercharge.info that's referring to the pedestals, not the charger cabinets. They've been working on some changes that allow for more details, some of which which rolled out recently. I suspect we'll have to wait until V4 cabinets get deployed to see how those get...

    Supercharger - Dublin, CA - 7120 Dublin Blvd. (under construction, 12 V4 stalls)

    Drove past today on the way to the dentist. V4 pedestals, all but two are installed (the remaining ones are still on a pallet). Bruce.

    What version of Used Model X would you recommend?

    Without disputing any of the above, the Palladium Model X (2022 and newer) lose standard turn signal and gear selector stalks. For me that makes switching between the X and, well, any other car a bit jarring. Bruce.

    Supercharger - Arnold, CA (temporary closure, 8 V3 stalls)

    Given the fact that no one's apparently been able to get a charge here since sometime around April 12, and it's still not showing up on the mobile app, I'm changing the thread title to reflect a "temporary closure". Bruce. EDIT: Tagging @Guacahummus @Big Earl @corywright to see what change to...

    Work in progress: stalks on 2021 Model S. (and optional round-y wheel)

    Yes you can do turn signals, high beams, and wipers from the S3XY Buttons system. They might work a little differently from how physical controls work (for example the turn signals are push-on push-off, there isn't an equivalent to lightly pressing the turn signal stalk). Yes you need the...

    Supercharger - Whittier, CA - Washington Blvd (temporary closure, 16 V3 stalls)

    I see that on the mobile app also. I'm gonna mark it as temporarily closed here on TMC. Maybe supercharge.info should do the same ... @Big Earl @Guacahummus @corywright Bruce.

    Tesla trips site has weird direction but only if you own MX. This won't happen from in-car navigation, right?

    The trip planner on the Tesla web site is IMHO more of a marketing tool to show the feasibility of long-distance EV travel, than an actual mechanism I'd want to rely on for trip planning. Bruce.

    Supercharger - Harris Ranch, CA (18 V2 stalls)

    Personally, I've only noticed the smell when driving past the cattle lots, which are a little bit north of the Harris Ranch Superchargers. Bruce.

    X90D battery being replaced with 75kwh battery under warranty!?

    No worries! OK, now if I had actually had my tea this morning first, I would have noticed in the Model X post you did, you actually did say "Model X". So. I merged both of the threads together and all the posts are in the thread in the Model X forum...discussion should continue there because...

    X90D battery being replaced with 75kwh battery under warranty!?

    Friendly note from a TMC moderator: It looks like you posted the same thread to both the Model S and Model X forums, but nowhere did you say which model of car you were asking about. Could you please say which, so I can delete/merge the "other" thread? Thanks, Bruce.

    Supercharger - Buellton, CA (temporary closure)

    Pictures of sites under construction are hugely helpful because they don't rely on the poster's interpretation as to what the current state actually is. Some people think "it's done" when they see posts and cabinets in place, but a lot of times that last step of getting the utility transformer...

    Supercharger - Livermore, CA - Holmes St. (under construction 19 Sep 2023, 8 stalls)

    Some Superchargers have been "under construction" for much longer than this, unfortunately. Is charging at home or at work feasible for you? Bruce.

    AP1 ONLY Please -- life after 2018.50.6

    My S85D (AP1, MCU1) went into the service center this past weekend for the first time since 2021 (to change headlight bulbs and work off some minor recall items). While there they updated its software from 2022.8.10.16 to 2022.8.10.17, which as far as I can tell only changed the "telltale" font...

    Speculation: new model X redesign info

    There was a batch of fairly significant changes in 2021 resulting in the "Palladium" Model S/X. Some people call that a "refresh". Did you miss it? Bruce.

    Supercharger - Dublin, CA - Amador Valley Blvd (LIVE 3 Nov 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    The site for this thread (Dublin, CA - Amador Valley Blvd.). I saw a repost of the NextDoor report on a local Tesla FB group, as well as a lot of chatter on the topic. From what I can tell, Tesla replaced the affected cables sometime before or over the weekend, and the site is operational as of...

    Congratulations on your second century! FYI some of us are doing a meet-up for a shared first at San Mateo - 1878 S. Norfolk Street at 10AM today (Saturday). That's probably not compatible with your 84-Supercharger plan, but if you happen to be there we'd love to meet you. Bruce.

    New round steering wheel retrofit

    Some of us paid $700 to go from the yoke to steering wheel, installation and new airbag included. Might have been some sales tax in there but $700 was the price in the online store. Bruce. PS. I got to keep the old yoke minus the airbag.

    Model S/X Retrofit steering wheel sold out already

    On the Model S and Model X you can (at least in theory) switch from yoke to wheel and vice versa. There has not, in the last 2+ years, been an option offered by Tesla to add stalks to the Palladium Model S/X or remove stalks from older S/X. Note this thread is about the steering wheel retrofit...

    Marin Clean Energy Solar Storage Credit

    Thanks, I think I'll pass. My charging situation is a little complex (2 charging spaces, 3 plug-in cars) and I'm too lazy to figure out how their algorithms relate to my various needs and constraints. At least with the other solar+storage credit, I don't need to do anything substantially...

    SpaceX Internet Satellite Network: Starlink

    Picking a random reply...sorry for the delay, it's been a busy week and I'm only now catching up on TMC stuff. We've been batting this around at work a little bit because making well-performing end-to-end network paths is a big part of what we do. We thought it'd be interesting to see UDP tests...

    SpaceX Internet Satellite Network: Starlink

    Stupidly I just realized that of course they're likely to see more errors on a wireless radio link than a wireline network (in the latter case we basically assume it's zero). So...would there still be 15% packet loss at an offered load of 10Mbps? Or 40Mbps? Put another way how much of the packet...

    SpaceX Internet Satellite Network: Starlink

    Sorry, I was in a workshop all day. :) Starting with MTU stuff... I'm assuming that the whole path (including the cool Starlink bits) at least supports a full-sized Ethernet frame. Old versions of iperf3 used to send 8K UDP packets by default, which would get chopped into Ethernet-sized...

    SpaceX Internet Satellite Network: Starlink

    A few thoughts on this... I wonder what and where the server side of that test was, and what version of iperf3 was running on each end. (Just thinking about a bug we fixed a long time ago where we picked a sub-optimal UDP datagram size by default, leading to fragmentation...anything released in...

    Road trip from Oceanside, CA to Walnut Creek, CA

    I think this depends a bit on what "best" means. If you mean "most efficient", then you can use the trip planner as your guide. If "best" means "interesting", the original Kettleman City is notable for its lounge. Harris Ranch (with the adjacent Coalinga) is notable for being one of the...
