    2013 Model S Partial Brickage at Service Now

    Im getting a little sick and tired of the 12v battery FAIL. My first FAIL was 2 weeks after getting the car (2014). next it FAILED in my driveway, TODAY it FAILED on rt 70 in MD...on the highway. First tow truck could not deal with my cold-dead car and had no skid plates/dollies. next guy...3...

    Tesla nav does a pretty poor job. rt216 from south isn't bad (two speed cameras around the school&Library.) I Live right around here. Best bet from either north or south Rt95 is 198, right on 4th street. No speed cameras. Getting on 198 going north is a little tricky. you take the rt200/contee...

    On Friday noon, there was a lot of road digging at the intersection of 4th and the SC site. the digging was in the area in the street that was on the same intersection as the SC transformer. Fire dept/Po-Po had the intersection blocked. I have to say, other than the sketchy neighborhood, the 4...

    Where can I find this key fob cover???

    Tire pressure call-while i'm waiting

    So, I'm waiting to check in my car for it's 2year service...waiting patiently. Overheard the following. "My car is complaining a tire pressure fault" Patient Tesla rep..."well when you go to this (yada-yada) screen, what does it say?" person with a "window...something email address" 44 is on...

    Good to meet you MMC today, it is truly pathetic/sketchy what is going on @Laurel. Lighting is still not anywhere close to optimal at this site at night. but again, best route is by far 198,4thstreet. no speed cameras, every other route has at least two.

    Ahh, I see the NAPA thing. had to wait for A-LOT of other stuff to be built not related to the SC. And I'm sorry us MD'ers don't have a lot of sympathy for people with the 5th charger in a 5 mile radius. :) Not that I intend on using Laurel that much, I only used Bethesda when traffic went B-Sh...

    Too bad, which ones exceeded 3+ months construction?. 9+ months since approval? Currently most on the map are averaging 30 days.

    restating the obvious. Does this hold the record for the longest time in construction...ever? 3+ months.

    So I just drove by, the meter is still at 0000000. I also checked trying 216/contee/rt 200. talking rt198 to 4th street, left on greenhill is definitely the quickest route either NB or SB on rt95. Even then in weekend traffic it took 10 minutes (measured) and 3.3 miles out of your way. Expect...

    Bummer, looks like that is the case. Now i guess we can just hope that 8.0 is even better!

    New display layout?

    I was watching OAN (news), and they were taking about the new "Tesla Town" in AUSTRALIA. they then were running B-roll on Tesla and I snapped the picture.

    I agree, Laurel is generally safe, but the crime "heat map" behind this SC is RED.

    Supercharger - Laurel, MD

    The SC is really on 4th street and Greenhill. it is the neighborhood behind it that is interesting. It got better after they tore down the 3 low cost living high rises. The mall in front of the SC is very safe and well patrolled with LOTS of good options.

    I called Tesla SC support and reported that fencing off the area behind the chargers and increasing the lighting would be a good idea...we'll see. you can see the one light in the photo. There are only two of these for the whole row of 8 stalls.

    +10-4 on Montgomery Mall. repositioning and expanding would have been a HUGELY better call. the tight stall at the MG mall were terrible.

    Let me see....I used to live in Laurel...I moved out when my neighbor's (4) house had a drive by shootings. The lighting at the first floor of the parking garage is dimly lit (two energy efficient LED lights). the section 8/project housing is behind the "new fancy" pedestrian mall in the front...

    Which locking license plate system use use with Model S

    There is still bit of shoulder on the head to get a decent set of pliers on the screw, not unlike what is shown above.

    Which locking license plate system use use with Model S

    I just went to the hardware store and got a pack of one way screws. a buck 50 is all they cost. they are the kind that are for a flat blade screw driver.

    Is there a way to prop up the wipers in advance of snow

    Yes, to the above..in addition. If you mistakenly leave your windshield wipers on by mistake (or have them set to intermittent) you can tear the wipers or break the motor assembly.

    Tire/Wheel Shops - MD/VA Area

    Radial Tire Store is my favorite. It looks really dumpy...but then you see LOTS of exotics getting rims/tires.

    Yeah, I got the "cheap" one. Still trying to find the Easter Egg before Easter:) I have a background in DV (Device Verification) and Software QA so this kinda stuff floats my goat. When I'm out in the Tesla factory next week I'm going to inquire about being a beta tester.

    10. Valet mode has a different speed/charge gauge. the speed side goes to 60 (but the line goes above it to 70). the charge gauge stops at 120 (but the line goes above very slightly, maybe 125)

    10.there is a new lightning bolt icon that will bring up an panel with the details of locations. 11.the old easter egg is still there, have not found the new on. 12. if you hold down the "T" logo on the touch screen for 4+ seconds, a dialogue box opens asking for a passcode.

    8. Valet/Nanny mode is fixed at 70mph, not adjustable. Acceleration is noticeably capped at less than 50%. This brings up an interesting thought...could that be beneficial as an "ECO" mode?? 9. the change of rate with regen that happens around 40mph is not as noticeable

    on the cruise control/TACC stalk, there ~was~an orange LED. when you drive straight, you cannot see the state of that light, and it is brighter than it needs to be. the only time you see it is if you are turning the steering wheel. It distracts you since you are not used to seeing it....5 year...
