I hope they unexpire it

Make sure you didn't leave a key card or your phone in the car.

That's so funny. I mentioned Bartow just last saturday! https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8065811/

Polk County FTW! With this one and the other new one just announced in Davenport, I'm covered if I head to Orlando. The new one that is open on Lakeland Highlands Blvd and the one in Plant City cover me for a trip to Tampa. Bartow would be a nice touch next. If I head south on 17 I've got...

supercharge.info shows this charger active now, as does Tesla.com.

Drove by this location today and it still looks just like it does in the above photos, except the level 2 chargers are now installed. I spoke to a guy from Rack who told me they are just waiting for Lakeland Electric to do their thing. The level 2 chargers look like they each can plug into two...

Excellent! Right off the Polk Parkway.

I got my X Plaid on March 11. So far zero problems. Zero. YMMV. Good build quality. No body defects. No electrical or mechanical defects. This is my 2nd X, the first a 2018 P100D. My Plaid has HW4 and no USS so at this point there is no FSD, summon, park assist, etc. Am I a little...

One day old and already ICEd.

Looks to me like it's set up for all forward parking rather than back-in. If I'm seeing it right, no trailer accommodation. Pulling in with a trailer would be possible but would block the aisle. So, sadly no.

I was at the Wawa supercharger three days ago. Glad there's a V3 being built closer to 429. But the Wawa charger has a Krispy Kreme next door with it's evil Hot Now sign.

Another vote for replacing. Too much chaos happens when the 12v goes south.

And attracting love bugs.

But the best part about this new SC....the Corona Cigar store right next to it.

I could see that mindset if you were the getaway car driver for a bank job, but you should put the car in park anyway when loading kids. And it just ain't that much effort. Just my $.02 :)

This. Granted the market today is very different than when I bought my 2018 X (new, in 2019), but I didn't look at or even consider anything else. Don't think I would today, either. It was a vortex of opportunity and desire....the stock market was going my way and my girlfriend had just...

I've charged at this location several times this year on my way to beach weekends. I like chargers near supermarkets so I can spend the time shopping. The chargers themselves are fine, but I gotta say that the Winn Dixie at this spot is not a favorite (other than to go in and chuckle at the...

I had my X done with xpel prime plus (ceramic with IR) 70% windshield and all rear glass, 20% front doors. I'm very pleased with it. No problems with night vision (I'm old). Vast improvement over factory tint in the Florida sun. Auto Paint Guard in Tampa did a great job, they did the full...

Double avoid on Black Friday and Christmas season.

I just installed 2022.12.3.20 this morning. I had enabled the “safety score” a couple of weeks ago, got frustrated and disabled it. Turned it back on last week and was pulling down a 98 after about 250 miles. Lo and behold FSD beta appeared without having to do the scoring for 30 days. Anyone...

Notwithstanding the technical discussion above, my visit to the Venice charger was satisfying. Arrived with approx 15% SoC and charged to 80 at a pleasing rate while enjoying a black&blue burger, sweet potato fries and a Diet Coke at the co-located Brew Burger. Several stalls have shade trees...

I’ve read complaints elsewhere about the chargers at this site being slow. Has that been resolved?

Palatka would be a great spot for a supercharger, it's a crossroads in the middle of the state. Good luck with your quest. I have a house on the St Johns in San Mateo, just south of Palatka. Have you considered charging in Ocala? It would add about a half hour to your trip but would give...

It's great to see Tesla continuing to build superchargers at locations other than interstate exits.

Ongoing problem that has been happening to me for well over a year now. I turn off AP when driving through Orlando. Same with TACC. Massive pain (1st world problems).

I didn't get home delivery so can't answer your specific question, but I will say that it took two months to get my plates. The temp tag expired after 30 days, they fedexed a new one, it expired, they fedexed another, then the plates arrived. I have heard others having similar experiences. I...

I was excited to see some of the new supercharger sites on 75 between Tampa and Ft Myers, but this one is going to be a game changer for me on trips to Boca Grande from Polk County. Fantastic. It's amazing to see all of these new sites popping up in places other than interstate exits.

Great! Looks a lot closer to I-75 than Archer Road.

I'm trying, but.....nope. Sorry.

Update. It's now September and the car is still in the shop. They called a week ago and said I could pick it up but they're still waiting on one part...I could bring it back in when the part arrives. I'm out of the area for a while so the car still sits there.

The insurance adjustor called yesterday, and said the body parts are shipped and scheduled for delivery next week. Once the shop receives them, they will begin to tear down the damaged parts on the car to assess any unseen damage. They estimate completion by the end of the 3rd week of July...

That's ironic. My X has excellent body panel alignment, or at least it did. I have had several Tesla owners comment on that. I don't have the shudder, my display isn't turning yellow, and the Christmas dance has worked perfectly the last 4 times I've tried it. I guess I should knock on wood now.

Just got the estimate of 11k. I was surprised.

I've had my X P100D for over two years without putting a scratch on it, and then last week a pickup truck clipped the right rear corner while I was waiting for traffic to clear to pull out onto a highway. The car was technically drivable (maybe not legally) so I had it flatbedded to a Tesla...

Any new info on this one? If it's anywhere near the pin on Tesla's map, I'm guessing the Raceway on 441 just off 75. Pure conjecture, there are no Wawa or Target locations nearby.

I'm really glad to see progress here. I frequently drive from Polk County to Boca Grande. I usually stop at the Sarasota SC for a full charge to give me enough juice to get to the island, drive around during my stay, and then get back to Sarasota if I need it for the trip home. This new site...

I know the supercharger has been open for a few weeks now, but I stopped by for a quickie yesterday and thought I'd share the photo. Traffic in the area really bites the big one. I realized though that upon leaving you can get up onto 429 without dealing with the parking lot that is I-4, which...

The document above shows 12 stalls. 3 cabinets.

Google maps street view shows the Wawa under construction. Is it finished?

This, in spades. I've had my X P100D for 20 months now and my back-of-neck-hair thrillometer still kicks in every time I give it the juice. And I love to give it all the juice it wants. Don't see that ever ending. So, personal preference.

A long way from Kissimmee

Tesla service techs have told me on more than one occasion that it's best to leave the car plugged in. If leaving for an extended period, they said to set the charge level low and plug in. The 12v battery will stay charged if plugged in, but I believe that if not plugged in the 12v will not...

I drove past the site yesterday, 10/17, and was going to stop and check for progress. But it was Biketoberfest. So no.

I am seeing the same thing.

supercharge.info shows this location open now, but only 4 stalls.

Everybody likes to go online to vent about their problems and talk about poor experiences. Not as many will go online to talk about good experiences. I'm sure the OP has reason to complain, not taking away from that. Ever heard anyone bitch about poor service at any other auto company? I...

As promised, the after:

Just a local guy. He laughed when I sent him the photo and told me he gets lots of calls from Tesla owners. Ha ha. He's scheduled for tomorrow afternoon (Thursday). I'll post an "after".

17 months and not a scratch on my X, and then yesterday I got sloppy and cut a corner too sharply. Either that or the curb jumped out and bit my wheel. Rim Doctor appointment already set up. Don't you hate that first ding?

Yay!
