Any chance you could point me to that thread? Would be curious to chat with the person who was able to make it work… Emails to commercial charging are not bouncing (just going unreplied). But emails to the individuals I was working with at Tesla all bounce back (got a loop of about 10 please...

This already had a fast and direct impact on me. I am leading a project to install chargers at my condo building and a hotel property and we were working with Tesla commercial charging. We were set to be able to activate it for pay for use, and I got the hardware yesterday (to be installed on...

Woo! Excited to get to use these soon. How far out would we be at this point? Maybe useable by August? Location isn’t too much of a pain. Like 2 minutes and one turn off the road. And there’s going to be a nice cafe sort of thing there as well. It’s one of the nicer locations I’d say in terms of...

Did you precondition the battery for fast charging? (Ie put the supercharger in your GPS?). I’ve been driving my model 3 often in temps from -5 to 30 Fahrenheit and have supercharged in these conditions also with no problems. I always make sure to enter the supercharger into the GPS before to...

Thanks, all... now that I've gotten used to it, I'm not as freaked out as I initially was ha. Most owners at the building seem to be excited about having EV charging as an option (we're in a rural area without any). I'll likely start with paint in the spring, but if there are complaints, will...

Hi All -- I have to travel to NYC for work next week, and am thinking about driving my M3 instead of taking the Acela. I'm a little nervous about using a valet (never had one in my Tesla before) and wanted to see if anyone had experience with a garage in the Bryant Park area? I'd also be leaving...

Good to know - it is pressure treated wood, so I think it should be ok with the weather.

Can the metal on the board be painted as well? Or should/can it just be the board? I’m thinking that the board should be painted green to blend with the tree behind.

Hey all, I joined my condos BOD for pretty much the sole purpose of completing an EV charging project. The project was finally approved and the install started today. We pulled out a new electrical service, so needed a backboard, electrical panels, and meter. I might be overly paranoid here...

I’m thinking it was the charger not being in securely. After taking it out in the afternoon, it seemed fine the last two nights after.

I’ve noticed in the past when I open up my Tesla app on my phone, my M3LR makes a somewhat loud thud or clicking sound once (when the vehicle is waking up). Last night I noticed (the car is parked right outside my bedroom) that my Tesla was making that same noise every few minutes all night...

I got it when I woke up this morning, 98 safety score.

I finally got it too… unimpressed so far… but still cool. Is the area outside of the road supposed to appear kind of fuzzy/blurred on the display?

We were going to do the Pulsar Plus 48. I can’t seem to find much documentation on single vs 3 phase for this charger: Wallbox Pulsar | Compact and efficient charger

So I tell my electrician do to a signal (split phase) instead? Is that going to impact cost?

I'm on the board of my COA and have been the project manager for getting EV chargers installed at our building. I just got some budget approved and we're going to start with 2 chargers, but want to have some room to expand down the line. We're going to put in two units, and I'm trying to...

Update - the holding company noted on the meeting agenda is also the holding company that owns Owls Nest - so definitely is up there. This is an awesome post and I’ll be a pretty frequent visitor when this is complete.

Yeah based on this - I definitely think it’s Owls Nest. I play golf up there and was chatting with the owner who didn’t confirm completely - but shared they’re installing Tesla chargers along with other EV spaces. Didn’t say “supercharger” but I’m sure this is it. Would make the most sense.

A huge part of the reason I bought my M3 was for the "self-driving" and autopilot features. I love the car and have no regrets, but definitely put too much stock into Tesla's claims about self-driving. My last car was a VW also, and I'm pretty disappointed with how, frankly, bad Tesla Autopilot...

Hi All — I have a Gen 3 wall connector installed for my M3LR. Most of the time, during the week, I’m not driving too much, so I put my charge limit down to 60-65% to protect the battery. Overnight, I’ve also realized I can turn the Amps down through the app to charge slower. My charger is...

So anyone have any luck yet?

Will do. I had a mobile service scheduled so just added this to that. Will mobile be sufficient or will they just send me to a service center?

Gave it a try and unfortunately no luck. Seems like it just can’t catch a thread at all.

Thanks I’ll give that a try!

I’m just not sure I feel comfortable drilling into the undercarriage of a brand new car… definitely don’t really know what I’m doing and would probably damage something.

So I just got my new model 3 Monday and when I was looking to install my Tesla mud Flaps today I noticed that the left side never had a screw in it, and the new mud flap screw wouldn’t go in. Assuming there’s some problem with the threading. Soonest service I could get with Tesla is two weeks...

PSA All — after my pick-up last Monday where everything at delivery seemed okay, when I went to install my mud flaps the car was missing a bolt on the right side, and the new mud flap bolt won’t screw in at all. Check it at delivery because service is 2 weeks out.

Good point… if it’s not really much of a choice probably shouldn’t spend much time thinking about it haha.

I picked up a new Model 3 LR on Monday (yay!) and have been trying to educate myself on smart charging practices. My current situation allows me to charge with a Tesla Wall Connector at my primary residence where I can have the car plugged in and charged to 80%. On Thursday I travel to a...

So what’s the general flow of this? I picked up my M3LR w/ FSD Monday and immediately clicked the request FSD beta button. How long does it usually take to get it - and does it just pop up at random?

Nice thanks!

Are these the Matrix lights or the older ones? I’m not too certain on the difference, but everyone seems to find it pretty important, so wanted to find out.

this just happened to my brand new Model 3 after one day… tried the restart and don’t work. Hoping it fixes itself like all of you!

Graduated today!! 80 days exactly from order to delivery. No major issues with the car aside from some small scratches I wasn’t going to make a fuss about. Dealt with the usual “meh” service from my folks at the local Tesla center, but overall not too bad! Was in and out in about 90 minutes...

So tomorrow’s the big delivery day for me. Quick question for you all on trade-ins. I submitted my trade-in and accepted Tesla’s offer. I currently have a loan on the trade-in (which I submitted with the trade-in) that I have positive equity in which is put towards my M3. Since there’s a lien on...

One week until my pick-up appointment… this is gonna be a long week. Final countdown!

So as someone who spends about half their time in this area, these ones are obviously important for me (and very exciting). I've been doing some more digging and my bet is that these Super Chargers get placed over at Owl's Nest. That spot definitely makes the most sense, right off 93, with a ton...

Ah, big news this evening. Checked the app (followed by a text 2 min later) to schedule my delivery! I’m set to pick it up 5/23!

Yeah - sent a text this AM to no response so far... hopefully something soon.

Is it worth calling the location where I'm picking up - or is that just a pain for them?

What's been the usual flow once you get your VIN for those of you that have? I got mine Sunday and found out just by checking my app. No one has reached out and my SA didn't reply to my text asking if they could let me know where the car is. My EDD is 5/22 - 5/26, so was curious when they...

So I found the chargers separately($2,000 for two with a pedestal. The $20k he’s quoting me is JUST for install. I’m obviously going to get other quotes, but being the first one it was just total sticker shock and kind of scared me as I thought I had a good chance of getting my board to approve...

I don’t have a specific breakdown as of yet, but it’s for 2 L2 chargers run out of the main box. So a short run of wire (maybe 2-5 feet) that needs to be buried under grass, a new meter, and hardwiring into the two units on one pedestal. That doesn’t even include the hardware costs.

Well got my first quote back today.... $20,000 to install 2 L2 chargers... I'm pretty shocked. Hoping it's just a highball number.

I mean I wouldn't necessarily say it's for "clout" as you put it. I think a lot of people truly believe driving an EV is the responsible thing to do for the planet, and Tesla makes the best one. For a lot of people, some slight inconvenience is worth being an overall environmental steward. It's...

Also forgot to post my VIN assigned yesterday was 248xxx

Woke up to a VIN assignment this AM! New EDD of 5/22-5/26! Only snag I’m running into is when I try and upload insurance the little Tesla wheel just keeps spinning and nothing will submit… anyone experience similar?

Ordered a day after. Had a few changes and a two week window last Friday… now been the grueling weight for a VIN.

So I got my two week window last Friday and was expecting a VIN this Friday, but looks like I still don’t have one just over a week out from the start of my EDD range.

This doesn't sound good for me 🤣
