Sorry byeLT4, had meant to post a "no progress" update after our trip to Corpus Christi on the 9th but forgot to. We did encounter our first pay-per-use destination charging at the Fairfield hotel we stayed at. They had 4 Wall Connectors installed, 2 NACS only, 1 Universal with integrated NACS...

That's been my understanding of V2 power sharing since getting my 3 back in 2018. The V2's have been revised over time, such as they maxed out at 120 kW in 2018 and were bumped to 150 kW in 2019. From the Introducing V3 Supercharging announcement in March 2019: Tesla managed to squeeze out an...

Same - our most recent stop was the weekend before July 4th. We arrived with a car waiting ahead of us. We were able to plug in about 5 minutes later. We then went in for lunch, and the car was ready to resume the trip just as we finished eating. We did encounter a number of new Tesla owners...

yep, out of warranty. Was $302.52. They also took care of the trunk lid harness recall.

Found out about this location when I scheduled service there for my Model 3, which came down with squeaky control arms today. I'll be taking Talith in the morning of the 15th. Did it just recently open? Tesla's Find Us page doesn't show it yet.

Was in the area so stopped by at 12:30, no activity to report. There were lots of cars, parking in front of, to the left of, and to the right of the main building were full. Area to the left of the gas pumps was mostly full. There were no cars parked in the area circled in red, so that would...

Will be a welcome addition for our trips to visit family in Robstown.

Buc-ee's in Luling is being replaced with a larger store. Considering Supercharger's have been going into Buc-ee's, perhaps Superchargers will be added when that's done...

Thanks for the quick response! I wasn't expecting that as my initial FSD outings were up and down highway 6 and it worked OK there, and then it worked OK on Fort Bend Parkway, which is basically the same layout as SH-99 (divided road with limited access) were it didn't work.

Howdy! I'm new to FSD Beta, received it late on the 24th. I used it a few times in my part of town (Houston metro on the south side near highway 6 and Fort Bend Tollroad) without issues (just some interventions required). Last night I visited friends over in Katy. FSD worked at the start...

Yep, the car shows them both as 250 kW max locations. If you look closely at the Superchargers in my above photo you can just make out that the stall being used by the white 3 is labelled 3D which denotes it as the 4th stall on the 3rd AC-DC converter stack. The older superchargers are just 2...

Partially live. The rightmost one in the photo, and those to the right of it, were not active. My SOC wasn't low enough to utilize V3 speeds.

Not something I worry about in Houston, though I did take Talith to Wisconsin over the holidays(documented here if anybody's interested). Before we left Houston I changed all our driver profiles to have settings such as chill mode, no folding of the mirrors, and follow-distance of 7. The trip's...

Telsa's charging page shows 2 hotels in Fredericksburg and a planned Supercharger, though that won't help you for this trip. Also check PlugShare, be sure to use the filter and deselect the plugs you can't use:

Maps are updated on all the handouts. I felt it was getting too cluttered/hard to read (especially on the legal version) so I left out the J-1772 adapter, the Wall Connector, etc. I show the adapter to them if I'm giving the full tour; though I also mention I've only used it one time, and...

Thanks! I made versions for all 4 models, you'll find links to the Model S versions immediately after the Model 3 versions in the tweet chain. I'm getting ready to update the Supercharger and Destination Charger maps on all of them, so you may wish to wait a little bit before downloading them.

Hmm - just realized I need to update the Supercharger map, it still shows most of Canada's as pending with the grey pins. Will update that this evening.

Nice! I've made the trip from Houston to Wisconsin in my 3 a few times, the most recent 2 are documented here(summer) and here(winter) at AtariAge. As a hobby I write new games for the Atari 2600 - Draconian, a port of the '81 arcade game Bosconian, is my most recent. I keep handouts in my 3...

They covered that during one of the sessions - Texas wind power shows the disconnect between perceptions about Texas, green energy, etc. and what's really going on here. Austin gets a lot of the press, but it's happening across the entire state. Look no further than Tesla's Carbon Impact...

I got my Jeda back in September. I use the USB-A ports to charge my phones, and the USB-C ports for controllers. I find it's easier to use USB-C for the controllers as you don't have to worry about orientation when you plug them in. I only plug the controllers in when a game is being played. I...

I'm not surprised, Shell started rolling out EV charging in Europe in 2017: There's also the Shell Eco-marathon from 2018:

My nephew and I will be attending. The Austin Event page has a link to a 3-page PDF, so you can get a clearer copy of the schedule that @AEdennis posted.

Have you checked the California specific sub-forum? California

They're trying to - on twitter they use a bunch of hashtags like: #TeslaPaintIssues #TeslaQualityIssues #TeslaServiceIssues and so on. They'll use those tags in replies/retweets of people* who tweeted issues, then use those tags to discourage others from buying a Tesla. As an example see the...

I noticed The Expanse is listed twice: The Expanse - season 1-3 episodes are all rated as TV-14 The Expanse (4K UHD) - season 1-3 episodes are rated as 13+, TV-14, and 16+ I suspect the non-4K is the as censored for SyFy, while the 16+ episodes of the 4K version will have Chrisjen Avasarala...

Sorry about that, didn't see yours - based on the time stamps I suspect we started our posts about the same time as I got side-tracked in the middle of mine.

I wouldn't upgrade if you already having something installed. Main benefit is significantly more units with Power Sharing (I think it was 4 max for Gen 2) and a simpler installation (WiFi eliminates the communication wires needed between each unit for Gen 2 power sharing).

New Gen 3 Wall Connector will support Power Sharing with up to 16 units. I can see this being very beneficial for building out Destination Charging - during our trip to Wisconsin last month the hotel we stayed at in Oklahoma City had a number of Teslas rotate overnight thru their 3 chargers.

Asking for your Wh/mi. I've used 291 Wh/mi so far on my trip from Houston to central Wisconsin in my LR RWD 3: I took the same trip over the summer and used 243 Wh/mi:

On our way to Wisconsin for the holidays. Charging was free for some reason, wasn’t free when I was up this way over the summer.

Jermey Arnold wrote up a quora answer that goes into quite a bit of detail of Elon's involvement in the rescue, with links to sources such as the request by Richard Stanton(one of the leaders in the rescue) for Elon to keep working on the sub because they were concerned about the smallest lad...

Yes, that was me - quite a few people liked the post in fact. I'd posted a link to my post from last year where I'd suggested Papafox modify his template as it can be hard to track down info in a topic with over 2000 replies. Basically a copy/paste of the following template: Conditions: * Dow...

I was getting the same error. I have a Jeda USB Hub and picked up a Samsung T5 SSD drive based on results of tests Jeda conducted. The Hub even comes with a short USB cable to make an SSD easier to install. I no longer get the error. I picked up a 1TB drive based on a tweet I'd seen by...

I don't think the effect is temperature related as it occurs on rainy days when it tends to be colder outside. But yes, the whole back window now shows it when it used to be just on the upper half

Awesome turnout for the Houston event at Ikea, I gave away as many handouts as the prior to events combined. Last year I gave rides, so was positioned in the parking lot. With the gaming setup I didn't give rides this year, so ended up on the concrete slab in front of Ikea. Was great in the...

Highest I saw was 316 for a full charge back in May. Of late my full charge is 310.

Supercharger- Richmond, TX

There were fewer cars at the Corpus Christi event on Sunday, but way more people showed up to check them out - I gave away twice as many of my handouts as at the Bellaire event. Many were shocked at how affordable electric cars now are, even before factoring in the fuel savings. I was...

Turnout at Saturday's event in Bellaire was great! Talked to a lot of people and quite a few kids played Beach Buggy Racing 2 (I had a couple USB controllers plugged in). I was interviewed by Jordan Blum of the Houston Chronicle, brief bit about my recent road trip to Wisconsin made the cut -...

No account required, you can type anything for name. Click wrench icon to download in a number of file formats.

All spelled out in the handout, see reply 3.

Thanks, QR Code added. I did so earlier in the week for the handout itself. Great idea! Added a second placard:

Remembered I have placard holders I use for displaying system info at retro gaming events, so made a brief info sheet to display. Feel free to download & modify this as well. Model 3 placard

Time again to show off your Tesla during National Drive Electric Week. There are quite a few events in Texas this year, including 2 in Austin and 4 in the Houston area! There's also a non-NDEW event in Dallas in October at the State Fair. Austin - Saturday the 14th, 10 am - 2 pm Austin -...

Thanks @SMAlset! Looks like the J1772 Adapter still comes with all Teslas. When I initially made it for last year's events I used letter size paper, so was space constrained. I wanted to hit the key questions of "How much?", "How far?", "How do I charge?", "How do I take trips?" and didn't...

I've created handouts that I keep in my 3 to give away when people ask about it. There are 2 version each for the S, 3, and X. Feel free to download and revise them for your own use. They were created using Apple Pages, but can be downloaded in a variety of formats. Download links in this...
