    All FSD/HW3 + MCU1 cars record broken dashcam video?

    I am having exactly this problem. Beyond pissed at this point. Spent 10K on the FSD upgrade, as part of that the FSD computer was installed. Also had the eMMC upgrade as part of the recall. So here I am with an MCU1 car and I cannot even get a firmware upgrade that would allow me to request...

    Maine owners, do you have to get service in Dedham or can you get a ranger?

    I've had the ranger come for a 12v replacement and a door handle.

    Supercharger - Leominster, MA

    I've noticed slower rates now that the cold weather has arrived. When I pull into the SC with a cold soaked pack the charge rate is pretty slow until the pack warms.

    Tesla trade in and upgrade

    Trade in was 55K, roughly 60% of purchase price. S100D original price was 114K. Car was discounted 15K for being a display car but I can say the car arrive and looked like no one had ever been in it. Other factors that convinced me to make the move - I get the another 7,500 tax credit and...

    Tesla trade in and upgrade

    Just took delivery of a new S100D this afternoon. Traded in my S85D and was very happy with the trade in value and the discount offered on the S100D (it was a display car with 50 miles on it but some minor seat wear). The car was delivered to my home today and they took my S85D. The mobile...

    Tesla offered me immediate delivery of display rwd M3, anyone else?

    Nope but they contacted me out of the blue to trade in my 85D for a 100D. We had an exchange over a day and a half, was so excited until the price changed when it came time to make a deposit.

    What do experienced travelers think about alternatives to the GW bridge on Friday, July 6?

    I have probably done this drive 50 times - I'm a new england guy married to a Jersey girl. If traffic is light the GW is quicker - during any normal time the Tappen Zee will add miles but save time. And if you are heading to Dedham I'd recommend hoping on the Saw Mill Parkway after the Tappen...

    Maine - Inspection Stickers

    You will need an inspection sticker once you arrive in ME or from a state that ME recognizes (I know they recognize NH but that may be the only one). I get mine from Autowerkes in Freeport. They specialize in German cars but have done tires (no alignment) and inspections for me.

    Sunday River Ski in Maine- 3 Tesla Chargers

    @jlv1 Is this a setting or a timing thing? I've left my fob in the car before, when washing it in my driveway, sure the handles closed etc but just pressing the handle caused them to present and I was in the car just fine. Want to make sure I don't lock myself out in the future.

    Supercharger - Freeport, ME

    Unfortunately I think it will like this for the entire months of July and August. Those spots are so close to the flagship store and that lot is crazy busy all summer.

    Construction looks done to me. Took these photos around 2:00 on 10/15. Wonder if an opening date has been set. The fence is still up.

    Supercharger - Freeport, ME

    Sorry I was not clear - I was not talking at all about the supercharger spots. The point I was trying to make is that the general parking area frequently becomes so full that people park in any place that can fit a car whether it is a designated parking spot or not. I suspect these same people...

    Supercharger - Freeport, ME

    I love all the updates. As the guy who lives about 5 miles from the site I figured I'd be the one to post the most pictures. I did drive by yesterday around noon time. There were cars parked illegally all over the place, the end of parking rows, in front of no parking signs etc. It will be...

    Supercharger - Freeport, ME

    The person I know in LL Bean Community Relations understands scheduled completion for October 10-13 but she did put a disclaimer that dates change and she would never know. I have no insight beyond that but since I live 3 miles away I check on progress pretty quickly. I was going to check...

    Supercharger - Freeport, ME

    Heard back from my contact the situation is what many of you thought. 8 Supercharger spots, 4 of them dedicated to Tesla, 4 of them allow 30 minute public parking. I drove by last night and not much had changed from the photos that @Gwgan posted. I'll drive by this week and and post any progress.

    Supercharger - Freeport, ME

    She didn't but is looking into it for me. Even though I'll rarely use it I'm excited to have a quick charge option for the occasions when I need it but I fear icing will be a real problem in this lot.

    Supercharger - Freeport, ME

    Sorry I keep missing everyone, tonight with be the first time in two weeks I've been home for more than 24 hours. On the upside I'm going to make Hilton Diamond status this year. My contact at LL Bean says there will be 4 supercharger stalls, 4 public charging stalls. She says the plans are...

    2017 New England Super Chargers

    I do not think any has happened in Freeport yet. I chair one of the town committees so I know the Town Engineer and the Town Planner, neither one are aware of any permits being requested. The Maine Beer Company location would have been just too awesome for me on those occasions when I need a...

    Body Shop Recommendations

    Thanks @theLuggage. I'm dropping my car off in about a week. They have had the parts for a while but with some family vacation etc I've not been able to get my card to them - I'm nearly 3 hours away. Looking forward to getting my baby fixed.

    Body Shop Recommendations

    Thanks @Babasnoopy - I'm not sure when Highway was added. Both shops were great to work with and provided estimates in a very timely manner. The estimates where within $2 of each other and came in just under $5,000 which seems crazy to me for the repair. CVS has accepted liability so I won't...

    Father Days Meet up in New Gloucester anyone?

    One of these days I'll make one of the meet up events. I seem to keep missing them - this Fri-Sun I'm riding in the Trek Across Maine. A 180 mile bicycle ride to raise money for the American Lung Association. Really too bad for me, this one is so close to my home it would have been convenient...

    2017 New England Super Chargers

    The town planner believes, but is not certain, that both LL Bean and the parking garage opted not to proceed with the project. One possibility is that neither owner was willing to give up existing parking spaces to be dedicated to ev charging. Businesses in town are required to provide a...

    2017 New England Super Chargers

    Some additional details - Telsa had discussions with both LL Bean and the owners of the parking garage, both declined. Tesla may have some other potential locations in mind - one possibility is the Shaw's parking lot on the southern end of down outside of the retail district. This would make...

    Word on Freeport supercharger is that Tesla representatives met with town and economic development officials. They discussed a couple of potential locations but have since gone silent.

    @Gwgan I live in Freeport and I'm a chair on a town committee. I'll dig into this - it would be very helpful for me if it existed today. I had my annual service yesterday and the service tech did not put my UMC back in my car so I'm charging at Yarmouth town hall later today.

    So a chainlink fence at the CVS parking lot was caught by the wind and damaged the right rear door of my S. Anyone familiar with the two authorized body shops in MA? Highway Autobody in Rockland and Hollis Auto Body in Ashland? Unfortunately I'm about 3 hours away from either one. And don't...

    New restaurant (Hooters) to be next door to the Dedham service center/supercharger

    Sitting in the Dedham Service Center this morning for a new 12 volt (really wish I could have had this done 3rd party I live 150s mile away)- no sign of Hooters yet but the service managers says it is in the works.

    Do we need Snow tires for Model S with dual motors in Boston area?

    I've been fine without snows - it really comes down to just leaving plenty of space and keeping your speed down. I find winter tires are not necessary to get going but really necessary for stopping. I opt for just leaving extra space and if I really want to go out in the snow I take our...

    Very short only 4 miles so that definitely contributed.

    Damn that is cold....and well inefficient

    I had charged my car at work on Thursday so I did not charge at home before leaving for work Friday morning. That certainly contributed to the high watts per mile. On my way home 3 of the 4 tires were showing low pressure (35 PSI) so that could have had some impact as well. I've had my car for...

    Damn that is cold....and well inefficient

    Minus 4 today when I pulled out of the garage. I was especially happy to be able to pre-heat the car from the phone app while it was in my garage. Thankfully I have a short commute cause I would not have had much range today - averaged 577 watts per mile traveling an average 44 MPH. I think...

    Xpel on Cape Cod

    I'm late to the game so maybe you've already taken care of this. Q-Car Care outsources their XPEL work to Automotive Elegance. I was able to get them to come to me, you may be able to get Automotive Elegance to come to the Cape - probably worth a phone call.

    But Officer....I was going WAY below the speed limit!

    Are there any metric signs in SoCal? I've seen them on rare occasion near the canadian or mexican borders. 110 KPH is eerily close to the 405 Speed limit in MPH.

    How fast did Model S ruin you for ICE?

    I may be coming back around Hank - could have just been my initial reaction to being back in an ICE. I took the M5 to mid coast Maine over the week end and enjoyed the drive. Of course "spring" came in with a few inches of snow so the M5 is back in the garage and I'm driving the Model S.

    How fast did Model S ruin you for ICE?

    I took my E39 M5 out of winter storage over the week end. When I ordered my 85D I really thought there would be times I'd rather drive the M5 but I was wrong. Time to teach some family members how to use a clutch. I actually think this has spurred me to put down a deposit on an Model 3 and...

    Summon not completing

    Tried it and didn't notice a difference. I did wait for longer today and after sitting there for 30-60 seconds the summon did complete. There was not such a long delay prior to loading 2.12.126. I pay close attention to summon, particular the stop / complete transition, as it once restarted...

    Summon not completing

    Firmware 2.12.126 seems to have introduced a new summon defect. I use summon daily to park in my garage as it a bit narrow and using summon helps prevent me from dining m doors. Since loading 2.12.126 the car pulls into the garage just as it has before even stopping in the same place. The...

    Minor Summon Crash

    Not sure if that was what he meant but it is certainly Ironic that I own a mechanics tool chest. I'm pretty useless with tools. It was a very nice gift from mother in law, she just forgets I don't have the same skills as her husband.

    Insurance for Model S in Massachusetts

    I have no explanation for that. My annual policy for Amica is $2,850 for 4 autos - (BMW M5, BMW 328, Ford Expedition, Tesla Model 85D) with an 19 year old son and 16 year old daughter on the policy.
