Was shopping at Freddie’s and saw more digging by EA. I’m just amazed at how much more efficient and quicker Tesla is at installing DC chargers. I do wish Tesla would consider putting in more Superchargers across the road at the old Albertsons parking lot or make a deal with Sonic burgers...

I’m just piggybacking on this thread, but I was shopping at the Wilsonville Fred Meyer and noticed that they put up some fencing on the southern side of the parking lot. Possible construction? I wonder if people who are good at looking up construction projects can find out 😬

I had to get a new key fob due to losing it, and had to get mobile service to replace and pair it with our car. The mobile service guy mentioned that the Washington Square showroom is closing and they will open a new one across the freeway at the Tigard Service Center. He also mentioned that...

If you shop at Costco, please return your shopping cart.

:cries because 2015 MS only does 80kW: Makes me think about buying a new Tesla and transferring the unlimited Supercharging to the new car.

Coos Bay has seen better times, but the area is pretty safe (I'm comparing it to downtown Detroit in the 90's). The pub next to the SuperCharger (7 Devils) is a great place to grab a bite and wait for your charge. There are a couple of coffee shops and sit down restaurants on 101 that's a block...

Four chargers already down?

Fortunately Bandon has pull through SC’s. A SC in Florence with pull through stations would be a great complement to 101 charging

More updates from Coos Bay. Looks like they’re putting a conduit from Bennett St down to the SC site.

It’s next to the PetSmart and Office Depot and across the street from Costco. Quiet and not too crowded. I thought the old Albertsons parking lot next to Sonic Burger might have been a better choice, but nice to have another option on I5

Right next to 7 Devils 👍. This will be an excellent spot for charging.

The map you posted in April shows the existing transformers is there in front of the Model X. Bennet Dr has parking for Banner Bank and the Library, but I don’t think those parking lots have transformers in them. I was there this past weekend and didn’t see any activity too 😢. By the way...

Nice! It’s a different parking pattern from the usual backing in ones. Can’t wait to see it open! For towing, people would be better off charging at Bandon with its pull through SC’s. (It’s my usual spot for parking whenever we go to 7 Devils 👍😄)

Same with our Model S. It’s a very tight fit.

This is disappointing :/

I hope they start work in Coos Bay soon 🤞

Grabbed some excellent burgers while waiting for the car to charge yesterday. There’s a former garage that is now a lounge (past the wine tasting room) with comfortable sofas and heaters. Nice way to stay warm in this weather. Much appreciated since I have a 2015 MS85D that is throttled and...

That’s a very busy parking lot. Hopefully it won’t be iced much. The bulgogi fries at the teriyaki place is amazing, according to my son :)

A question for you guys with the new pack, and have had the “free” supercharging for your car. Do you still retain the “free” supercharge with the new batteries?

This site will help people who live outside of Portland Metro who fly out of PDX. Won’t have to make an extra stop to the airport just to top up, and hope the vampire losses weren’t too bad when heading home. Just swing by the SC, grab some Swedish meatballs while charging and get home with...

That would be awesome. I can grab a bite to eat at 7 Devils Brew Pub while getting charged up.

This would be awesome for visiting my mother in law. Probably seeing the foot traffic Bandon is getting from their SC.

I just got the Michelin Crossclimate 2’s from Costco last week. They replaced Nokian WRG’s (I couldn’t find anyone selling them for Tesla’s, strangely enough). First impressions were good, driving through the recent PNW rain storms on I5 with confidence. Found them to be quieter than the...

What an adventure to replace the windshield! After going through my auto insurance, I went ahead and scheduled a replacement at the Beaverton Safelite store. Apparently, due to “supply chain issues”, it took over a month for the windshield to arrive. I went ahead and scheduled for...

I initially dropped by Safelite in Beaverton for that, but was told Tesla’s were too fragile, and to take it to the service center? I’ll call my insurance again and see what other options they have.

Got a significant ding in our 2015 Model S recently. Went to an auto glass shop who recommended getting it replaced by Tesla. Just got a message from Tesla Service saying they don't do windshield replacements anymore? WTF? I have sent another message to Tesla Service, but I would like to...

It’s the only month that’s snow-free in Michigan

This SC and Grants Pass SC must be the weakest locations in Oregon right now :/

Sigh. Lift gate just failed, just after we had our MCU1 replaced 2 weeks ago. Fortunately not much travel due to pandemic, but sure is annoying. Two week wait for service appointment. Another $300-900 for repair I guess. I’ll try everyone’s recommendations and pull some fuses. Hopefully the...

Tesla Service contacted me soon after my previous post, and found an opening for the car at the service center Monday morning. They asked me to shut the climate control remotely, but no dice. Hope the fan survives this

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I can’t find the MCU fuse. Here’s my fuse box layout Tesla Model S (2015)- fuse box diagram - Auto Genius

An update. Climate control is still on. I’ve tried to reach Tesla Service several times, but no reply. This will suck if the CC fan fails. Feeling very disappointed, this car has otherwise been a pleasure to own. Anyone have a link to the NHTSA complaint site?

I’ve just joined the failed MCU1 club (2015 85d). Started a couple of days ago, WiFi log shows car not connecting to the home WiFi. I noticed it when my phone didn’t pair. Tried two button reset, no luck. The climate control is now on, and I’m unable to turn it off. Service has been...

Hi guys. My wife is driving down the coast and has noticed the Springfield SC is not showing up on the route planner. Anyone know what’s up? edit: they work. That was weird.

A point that hasn’t been brought up is safety. When my wife bought her MS, it was probably one of the safest vehicles she could purchase at that time. She had a commute every month that was 3 hours, and between the build and autopilot, we felt she was very safe in the Tesla.. Besides, she had...

We have stayed at the Embassy Suites on SW Pine, and valeted our MS. No problems with the parking, but Hilton properties have really jacked up their prices.

A flood watch is in effect, so make sure your wipers are working, and bring your Goretex! https://alerts.weather.gov/cap/wwacapget.php?x=OR125D22637914.FloodWatch.125D22815600OR.PQRFFAPQR.d1f45b44d009fd2e836274f5ce8c2441

A set of Superchargers on the northbound Woodburn Exit, near the McDonalds and Burger King, would alleviate that "shopping opportunity charge" effect.

How does one get the OBDII dongle? On a side note, when we had our MS (2015) serviced this summer, they left what I believe is the OBDII jack out. It’s a blue piece that tucks just below the cubby hole.

Looks like 2019.32.12.1 has dropped this evening. Will try it out tomorrow. It was a 167mb download

For Newport, if the SC is at the Rogue Brewery it’s a no brainer. Otherwise, Florence would be a better midway point between Lincoln City, Bandon and Springfield SC’s

Are you planning on driving all the way through, or will you do an overnight stop? If so, consider a hotel with destination charging. Collectively, we might be able to help out with various cites and hotels. For example, we’ve stayed at the Palm Hotel in Ashland, OR. A cool little former...

I got a call from Oakland. I’ve gotten so many spam calls, every unknown number goes to voicemail. If version 9 shows definite improvement on AP2.5, (we have a MS 85D, AP1), we will strongly consider it.

It will nice to have TSA preclearance before arriving at the airport. I can imagine going through TSA PreCheck, get in your pod, and be delivered to your terminal. Heck, United could put a Global Service lounge in Chicago for their top tier flyers with a dedicated TSA checkpoint and have the...

With the news out of Chicago regarding the Boring Company, is it time for its own subforum?

Looks like we will be moving to the Portland Metro area. Our new house will need a couple of NEMA 14-50's installed. Are the electricians recommended by Tesla good enough? Any other experiences? Thanks in advance.

Take this with a grain of salt, but when I was at the Washington Square store last weekend, they were hoping to get a Model 3 in the store by July. We got to see our first M3 at the supercharger downstairs.

I noticed there are destination chargers on the top level of the parking lot, next to the Tesla store. I imagine it will be limited to the demo cars.

Don’t do it Three arrested for street racing after mother fatally struck pushing stroller on Bayshore Boulevard

For those with more modest lawns, I recommend this Power+ 21" Self-Propelled Lawn Mower I have enjoyed using this mower this season. I have about a 1/4 to 1/2 acre, flat lawn. It mulches and cuts as well as my old gas mower. I didn’t realize how much exhaust the gas mowers put out until I...
