That's what I thought too but the Tesla customer support person I spoke to doesn't agree. I pointed out the part in the PPA that says I can prepay but they said even with prepaying I'd still be under the agreement and have to keep the panels on my roof. I then asked how much it would be to...

I purchased my house as-is and was a new homeowner at the time so I didn't know the age of the roof and relied on the Solar City assessment that the roof was in good condition. With the knowledge I have now your initial statement is obvious. Still doesn't excuse the lack of options for a...

I am shocked the problems people are facing with Tesla Solar isn't getting more publicity. I got into a Solar City PPA at end of 2012 and at the time I didn't know how old the roof was on my house but Solar City at the time said the roof is in good shape and would last through the PPA term...

YEEEESSSSSS!!!!! I never thought this day would arrive. This is on my way to work when I actually have to drive to work again. Vista Gardens area is only a few minutes to 495. Now if only a service center would pop up in a 30min or less radius.

:( At over 150k miles looks like I'm out of luck.

I took my 2013 Tesla Model S to Tires Plus in Crofton, MD a couple of times and they had a technician there that could perform alignments. Worked ok for me. I've been using them for tire replacements since they're quick then decided to get the unlimited alignment package and so far so good.

@kendallpb And here I thought I'd have the oldest software out there with 2018.36.2 version but you have me beat. I just got an email today about needing to upgrade by May 1, 2020, Ugh! I also never received a notice about this in the car.

Someone had the guts to plug into 1A last Fri despite its cover being off and it seemed to be working.

I'm surprised this wasn't posted here. See link: Electric Vehicle Car Show presented by RS Automotive

Maybe he was looking for a thread about the auto show at RS Automotive in Takoma Park on Sunday November 10, 2019 from 9am - 1pm.

Good news. A member on plugshare indicated that the owner ordered a couple of Tesla chademo adapters. The ev stations are always available but its important to be mindful of the rs automotive store hours. The store's not open on the weekend.

Just dropped by and took some quick pics since I didn't see many in the articles. It's a small gas station and it has chademo , sae, and j1772 plugs. The level 2 chargers are in an inconvenient location that could block entry/exit depending on how someone parks. I definitely appreciate...

This is great! I'm going to visit and buy something from the convenience store from time to time just to show support.

@xxxholic This is no big consolation but If this repair comes in at one month, it's an improvement from how long i had to wait for repairs of my 2013 Model S a few years ago. It took months due to supply chain issues. From what I've been told not many shops repair aluminum panels so what may...

The Bmore SvC is open. I was there last week. Tesla's service scheduling just sucks. Scheduling from the website or app doesn't bring them up. I had my appt for Tyson's originally but they were over booked so they scheduled me for Bmore SvC center. I told them Bmore didn't show up for customers...

Worked fine for me this morning (~7:30 am)

I'm not sure. I've never fiddled with v9. I'm still on v8. I've become very attached to having the backup camera at the top for helping with blindspots and if possible not having the map on top all the time. I've got a old car without the navigation or autopilot so the map on top all the time...

Great. What are the steps needed to make this happen on v9? I saw a really wonky set of instructions from one thread that required a lot of time looking away from the road.

Have there been any developments on being able to keep the backup camera at the top of the screen at all times? I'm on 2018.36.2 and resisted updating. I just got a prompt for a software update after months of not having one.

FYI 1A isn't working. It's not seating properly. I didn't have time to wait for the supercharger number so i thought I'd at least put it here.

I pulled in w/ ~30% SOC and was getting between 68-78kW. Car was garaged all day so battery only warmed up for my 20min or drive to the SC. temps in 40-50 deg F today. I've got a 2013 S85. Started out charging at 3B then moved to 2A. Similar charge rates for both. I also confirm that 3A & 4B...

Are the other half of the chargers operational?

Even when this does open I'll wait a week or so before trying it out o_O. There's no further insight on what exactly is failing inspection?

I've got my screen split in two with the top half usually showing the back up camera and the bottom half the browser with waze. From time to time the browser on the bottom half freezes. Some combination of expanding the browser to fill screen and swapping the top half of the screen to the...

I typically tap the button to full screen and back or tap button to swap browser back and forth to refresh. One time I had to do a reboot of the screen.

2013 Model S with 122,000 miles and I'm now on my 6th door handle failure :(. The first four failures happened under warranty so they only slightly bothered me. Clearly the in warranty replaced parts sucked just as much as the originals. Thankfully now they do rebuilds of the door handles...

Yeah there is a giant sign to the left of the leftmost charger (1A?) that says 40 minute maximum. Some people are leaving their cars plugged in for an excessive amount of time (> 1 hour). I'm guessing this an attempt to curb that behavior but i don't see how it's enforceable. I thought the idle...

Next weekend would be better for me.

Wow. Were they new Tesla owners? Good thing you were around. Hopefully this site will be up and running in a few days.

Thai Cafe. I just went there yesterday. If you like spicy food, I recommend the spicy Thai Fried rice. Serves about 2 people.

Wow. Didn't expect this location to have a supercharger. I'm over there every once in a while. One of my favorite Thai restaurant is over here. Lots of good food choices during the day.

Teslawaze is amazing!!!!!!!! :cool: I've been using teslawaze in the browser for a long time and when the redirect happened to the new URL at azure popped up I got worried. That worry was completely unwarranted because the newer version is fantastic. Wish I followed this thread more regularly...

People who visited this site mentioned parking attendants. Does the supercharger area get closed at late hours when no attendant is around?

That's interesting. I'm also a low 5000 vin (~feb 2013) and live in MD. My bulb is the one listed in my op and is why my bulb removal was slightly different from yours.

Stephen Where are you located? The wiring for your bulb is very different compared to mine. I'm in the US. Yeah taking the wheel off makes a huge difference. I didn't have a jack i was confident lifting the model s with. What Jack did you use? Glad you got the bulb removed.

I did this again a few weeks ago. This might sound silly but try to jiggle the bulb back and forth a little bit then try again to twist counter clockwise. You might also want to take a pic of what the bulb looks like in there to help ingrain a picture in your head of the optimal path the bulb...

Road trip complete. This is more or less the route I took: https://goo.gl/maps/U4fL6igNjFN2 Decided to bypass Syracuse since it involved diverting from the main road in a dense population area. The border crossing was fairly painless. I tested out the use of the passport card and it worked out...

I'll be making a road trip to Montreal from MD in a few days. I've got two potential paths. Cut through PA NY or take 95 through DE NJ NY. Leaning towards PA in hopes of less traffic. Anything to watch out for at the border crossing?

As @mczajka mentioned, wording on the green paint markings is very vague and that's what i pointed out in the email I sent out. It could be anything from a tiny speck of green paint to the entire charging spot being painted green. Just like @CatB I got a canned response saying it's necessary...

@Lanny Thanks for the heads up. Swamped at work so I got the notification late but I sent an email out to show support.

I agree that the green line marking section should be removed. Potential wireless charging stations would also be negatively impacted of there's language about the car being plugged in.

I also looked into it in the past and decided it was not worth it.

Cool. Thanks for the invite. I'll be there.

Yup I can confirm 4A wasn't working properly on 11/5/16. I moved to 1B and supercharger worked fine.

Your supercharger hardware might have failed. Happened to me a few years ago and Tesla had to replace some hardware. I'd ask them to pull your logs and try the supercharger again to see if it still doesn't work.

If the service vehicle made a blanket statement like that, they're wrong. I've got an early 2013 non-tech package car and fog light can definitely be added. I'm not sure how the newer cars are configured though. IIRC all new cars come w the tech packages included by default. What year is your...

Yeah it was a nice get together. Glad i dropped by. I had my 3 month old daughter so lunch wasn't in the cards for me. Meeting an owner with over 190k miles brought me more joy than i thought it would. Hopefully Tesla fixes the issues with the 3 stalls soon. The mall parking lot got...

I'll drop by on Sunday a little after noon.

I would agree with you if this MD EV credit had only one instantiation. E.g. from 2010-2013 an individual could receive $2k for an EV purchase, which I did. The next iteration shortly after my Tesla purchase a person could get only $1k. It later got bumped up to $3k. The same EV credit program...

I was denied the credit for my recent 2nd EV (2nd gen Volt). The wording on the website was real ambiguous on whether an owner can apply for the recent instantiation of the MD EV credit if they've already received a credit in a different MD EV program. Feb 2013 is when i got my Tesla and May...
