This will also be very convenient for those traveling from the west on I-40 and going north on I-65. It is directly off Briley Parkway and will allow people to bypass Nashville West and the downtown supercharger locations. It will also let them avoid much of the traffic. I will also add that...

This will be a good spot for a supercharger. While placing it on the south side of I-40 in Providence would have been even better, there are still several restaurants and convenience stores that are easy to walk to. Getting in and out of the parking lot will also be quite easy, and easier than...

I tried to plug-in, but power is still off.

This will be a welcome addition. People going east or west can detour slightly to get to it by taking 440 instead of 40, and obviously 24 carries a ton of traffic. I would love a MetroCenter location too. It’s easy on and off the interstate, both I-65 and I-40 are adjacent, and there are...

Same here. When I got my Model S my wife was happy for me but didn't care all that much. We transitioned essentially all of our family driving over the Model S, but she was scared to drive it for a few months. Out of necessity, she had to drive it once while her Infiniti SUV was being worked...

I really don’t think they need to update the exterior very much. I actually like the thought that they could do subtle exterior changes every three years (like the nose con e) so that an existing car never suddenly looks old. I also think the Model S still is one of the sexiest cars on the road...

I’m a little confused by this latest move. They have stopped producing the S/X 75D and seemingly cut the total number of employees building those models. However, I assumed (possibly incorrectly) that the margins on the 75D were still higher than the margins on the non-performance Model 3...

I just got 2018.50.6. :( I was the second to update on ev-fw.com.

I just got notified of a software update and it is now updating. I have a 2017 build Model S with AP 2.5.

I haven't read all the posts, but have read a decent number of them. Forgive me if I'm redundant. I doubt they can sell 100,000 S/X per year if there isn't a 75D option. Anecdotally, it seems like the 75D is the most common S/X new delivery in my neck of the woods, and it is what I chose. For...

I purchased a new Model S in 2017 (AP2.5) and quickly realized that I also wanted to get a Model X for my wife to drive. After much thinking, I am now leaning toward getting a CPO Model X since they are now widely available with the original lease deals ending. We will likely get a 6 seat...

I wish they would get started on this. The Brentwood SC is essentially always fully occupied during the day and early evening at this point. We need the extra capacity.

Here’s an example of a company doing it right: Two days ago I flew JetBlue, but between the time I ordered the tickets and actually flew, the company raised their baggage fees by a few dollars. However, they grandfathered everyone who had booked their travel so that we fell under the new...

When Tesla put in writing on the website and the sales page some variation of “$3000 now or $4000 later” that sure seems like an agreement made at the time of sale. At a minimum it seems like false advertising. They literally said we could all pay $4000 later to get FSD. Whether that is legally...

So my Tesla account says $5000 to upgrade to FSD as well. I purchased my Model S in October of 2017, and at that time the FSD was $3000 at the time of purchase or $4000 later. I don't see how they can now go back and raise the price of FSD (if it ever actually comes) for those of us that...

Tesla is going to run into major headaches with metro codes and permitting. I have been involved in construction projects recently and the codes department is simply overrun with new construction. There are delays happening that are best measured in months.

I agree wholeheartedly about Manchester. The Chattanooga SC is my least favorite by a long shot, and having Manchester open will allow Nashville to Atlanta travel without having to stop at Chattanooga. The Dickson SC has been notoriously unreliable, and the Gulch SC should allow most people to...

No, that’s the JW Marriott that is finishing up construction. The supercharger is located in the parking garage of the Gulch Crossings building which is west of the JW Marriott site by a couple blocks.

Hours - I suspect it will be available 24 hours. Crime - I suspect that Murfreesboro has more crime than the Gulch. I’m.l not joking. This area is incredibly safe and active. Traffic - From the interstate, you will be plugged in and charging within two minutes 90% of the time. There is one...

I charge here every couple of months. I've noticed that the live update on usage seems to always over count the number of people using it. Anyone else notice that? Two weeks ago I was traveling to it, and my map in the car said there were 6 chargers in use. When I got there only one was in use...

This is in the Gulch Crossing building. The parking garage allows any visitor to park for free for one hour. This should be a super convenient spot and I bet will be very popular. It will be similar in many regards to the Atlantic Station supercharger in Atlanta. There's probably more shopping...

I haven’t been using AP nearly as much as I was before this last update. Honestly, if my hands have to be on the wheel, why even have Autopilot activated? A lack of hands on the wheel isn’t what was causing the problems; a lack of eyes on the road was what was causing problems.

Do you have to start recording or will it immediately start recording when the car is turned on? Also, does automatically record over prior videos or do you have to manually erase old videos? I'm looking for something that is as automated as possible because I know the one time I need the...

Still not operational. This is a very convenient location, though, and I would definitely stop there instead of Chattanooga if given the choice. It is directly behind a Dunkin Donuts and next to several fast food joints. It is only 1/4 mile or so off the interstate as well.

This will be really nice to have when trying to get from Nashville to Atlanta (or vice versa). The Chattanooga supercharger adds 15-20 minutes to the trip because it is out of the way. I’m making that trip on Saturday so I will stop by and see if it is operational.

This supercharger is now showing up as “reduced service” in my car’s map.

I purchased a 75 at the end of 2017. I would love to have a 100, but I just couldn't justify the extra $20,000. For the way I drive (rarely trips >500 miles, monthly trips of ~120 miles, daily usage of 40-50 miles on average) having the 100 would realistically save me maybe 3-4 hours per year in...

I was at the Dickson supercharger in December and I had th exact same issue. Fortunately, I live just outside Nashville and only needed 15 miles or so to get me home. I’ve got a friend that uses the Dickson charger regularly. He reports that this issue has been ongoing for a while. Tesla needs...

They mentioned in the Q4 earnings call that production would slow down for Q1 2018 because of increased attention on the Model 3 line. However, I do wonder if that was the public position while the true reason was to clear inventory for an upcoming refresh of Model S. It would be a great time...

I just drove about 40 miles on the interstate after receiving the update last night. It seemed to me that the changing lanes has become smoother than it was previously. I thought the transition was fairly jerky before, but today it seemed smoother. Of course, maybe this was just placebo effect...

I just had my HPWC installed today. I ended up going with the wall charger for a couple reason. I had considered just having a 14-50 installed, but I could charge at a slightly higher rate with the HPWC on a 60 amp circuit instead (charging at 48amp vs 40 amps; 8amp difference x 220volt = 1.76kW...

It’s easy to see where other manufacturers are “catching up” but sometimes we forget that Tesla still has tremendous advantages. However, we shouldn’t be picking the best features of each of a half dozen luxury car manufacturers and then thinking Tesla is behind because cumulatively they have...

I would also be interested in a Nashville area club. Just got my S75 last week. Love it so far. When I picked mine up last week, the delivery specialist told me they were doing around 10 deliveries a day out of the Nashville SC at the end of September. Once October rolled around they were...

I'm doing the same thing right now, and the prices are pretty pricey. My house has 400 amp service that is split into two 200amp panels on the exterior. The two 200amp exterior panels are on the opposite side of the house. One of the 200amp panels services the inside of the house and the other...

Just set me delivery for October 17th. This is actually quite a bit quicker than what I was originally planning for. My only two critiques of the buying experience have been related to the timing of the delivery and quoting financing terms. When I purchased the car there was a 0.99%...

I order my MS75 (RWD) on September 6th, confirmed September 10th. I am currently showing a delivery window of October 16-23.

I've been using Payver for 3 weeks. I was looking to get a dashcam and when I heard I could contribute to HD mapping I downloaded and started using it. I've also made $15 in the time I've had it, having driven 542 miles so far with it. To be clear, it is a limited dashcam. It does record...

They opened a money market in your name and have you contributing $0.50 per month. Oh wait......no respectable financial firm would open an account without your consent. Forget that. :D #EightIsGreat

I doubt it. They just released the new rear seat design. While they could include that in the new interior refresh, I doubt they would roll it out three or four weeks before a total interior refresh. I didn't read all the posts in this thread, so if that has recently been discussed forgive me.

Honestly, I think that's the opposite of what you should do. You should never buy insurance products for services that you can easily afford to cover on short notice, which includes deductibles. Low deductibles will cost significantly more money in the long run. That's true for health insurance...

Wow, those are some crazy costs. I'm just outside Nashville but use a company based in Ohio (Grange Insurance). I have a bundle with home, auto, some jewelry, term life, and an umbrella policy which helps some some money. I was quoted $897/year to insure my recently ordered Model S 75 with a...

Look into a seatbelt extender. We got one for my wife's SUV when my daughter moved up to a booster seat. She had a hard time reaching the latch because it was down so far. We got a rigid seat belt extender that brings the latch to roughly hip height so she can do it herself. Here's where we got...

I haven't taken delivery of my MS yet (I just placed my order on Wednesday), but it was a better experience than I have had in the past. I've purchased or leased three cars since 2012. My first was a Nissan LEAF lease which actually pretty smooth. Their EV specialist worked with me and...

I just placed an order today for a MC Red S75 with cream interior! Thanks for the pictures! I was initially going to go with white interior but after much thought I felt the cream was a little warmer and also looked better with the exterior red. Can't wait to get it delivered.

Wouldn't that be exactly right? It's hard to be close to I-40/I-65 and not be downtown given that the 40/65 stretch runs through downtown (assuming you include the Gulch as a subdistrict of Downtown Nashville).

That would be a very convenient location, but I doubt it will be there. It was in the Nashville Post last week that this is a temporary parking lot and will be developed with another hotel/residential/office structure in the future. Unless Tesla is willing to put a supercharger in a parking...

The sales guy at Tesla in Nashville told me that a 16 unit supercharger is coming to somewhere around downtown soon, and this one in Dickson will only be ~35-40 miles from that one.

Hundreds of thousands around Nashville evidently. There are only a few hotels left and are running $800-900/night on the 20th. I saw a Knights Inn in Lebanon listed for $700.....yes, a Knights Inn.

I've been shopping for a Model S over the last month or two and routinely spec out cars on the website. As part of that build process, once the options/colors/wheels/interior are all selected, I have been clicking the red "next" icon in order to see what the delivery date options are and to put...
