^^^ @corywright @Guacahummus @Big Earl Bruce.

Folks, there are a number of other threads to discuss the layoffs of the Supercharger organization. Let's please keep this thread as a discussion of the Supercharger in Arnold, CA. Thank you, Bruce.

Thanks for the app @offandonagain ! I'm using an automation to turn off grid charging at the start of our partial peak time (15:00), that way I can manually enable grid charging at any time before that on low solar production days and know that I'll only be using off-peak energy to charge the...

Moderator note: Moved a bunch of posts to Snippiness. In addition, general posts about the credibility of news organizations, Elon's behavior, and things not related to the layoffs of the Supercharger team are pretty off-topic here. I'm starting to think this thread has outlived its usefulness...

Ten back-in stalls on the left of these photos (two of them in the background have extra space, one has accessible signage), six pull-in stalls on the right sides of these photos. Bruce.

Couple photos of this site, showing the 10+2=12 stalls...

I figured this out (sort of). If I go into the Settings -> Camera -> Formats and change the Photo mode from 24 MP to 12 MP, then any photos taken with those settings can be uploaded. Bruce.

Slightly more close-up pictures, but doesn't feel hugely different from the picture in post #5. Cabinets, post bases, and other "stuff" on site. Some trenching has taken place. Bruce.

For folks who have tried this, did you get any kind of confirmation that your form submission was accepted? I didn't see any of "email me a copy of my answers" or whatever so it's not obvious that anything got submitted. (As opposed to the request being processed, which I understand might take...

I believe so, but I'm guessing as much as anybody else is. Bruce.

Conclusion: Mobile service came by on Thursday and replaced the cinching actuator. Interestingly it's a new part/part number, "HIGH FORCE CINCHING ACTUATOR(1003549-00-D)". (The part used on the previous repair was "CINCHING ACTUATOR(1003549-00-A)".) Here's hoping it's different enough, in a...

Good report, your caution is appreciated. It's not showing in the mobile app either. Given the uncertainties around Supercharger construction nowadays, IMHO it's more important than ever to keep high standards of evidence for TMC and supercharge.info, as in "show me a picture of Tesla...

2015 Model S 85D owner here. I get this noise if I've charged my car above about 78% SOC or so. I believe it's a coolant pump related to the battery pack. This started happening around the time that Tesla changed some of the battery management system programming in 2019 (see "batterygate" and...

Moderator note: Moved some posts that were clearly off-topic and political to the political quarantine. This thread is ranging pretty far and wide, and emotions are understandably running high right now. Please try to keep your posts at least somewhat related to the Supercharger network. Bruce.

Given that Tesla's entire Supercharger team was fired today, I'm not sure if "usually" can be applied to this situation. Bruce.

My 2022 Palladium Model X (Midnight Silver Metallic) has this issue sometimes during hot weather. Getting some airflow over the FWD seems to help the situation. Bruce.

Done, although for future reference, it's probably better to do a report on some post in this thread. That's a nice looking site to put a Supercharger! Bruce.

While Tesla officially calls it the "New Model 3 Performance" (or "2024 Model 3 Performance"), "Highland" was the codename for the "refreshed" Model 3 and many people inside and outside Tesla recognize that term. Please stop posting these one-liners to various threads where the term "Highland"...

Thanks, I might try playing with the stoppers. Removing the cinch / cinch motor, while probably easy for someone accustomed to working on cars, is out of my comfort zone. (I appreciate how much people have discovered about this issue since it first started happening in 2016.) Bruce.

My son ran into this problem today (so that's three times now on the same car, a Model S 2015 85D). Waiting for a mobile service appointment on Thursday. Bruce.

Here's my understanding: AP is an older codebase, more mature but as pointed out above only to be used for freeway driving. (Disregard people doing stupid AP tricks for their YouTube channels or whatever.) FSD is newer (with the "end to end neural nets" architecture), less mature but seemingly...

So actually this appears to be a fairly new product. I didn't see anything implying it was already posted, although the vendor started a promotional thread for it in the last day or two...

Clearly I'm not thinking about this the right way. 😎 Bruce.

I was wondering that but once those cables are buried in the ground it’s not real likely anybody’s gonna dig them up and cart them off…right? Bruce.

Bruce.

When we see "V3" and "V4" in supercharge.info that's referring to the pedestals, not the charger cabinets. They've been working on some changes that allow for more details, some of which which rolled out recently. I suspect we'll have to wait until V4 cabinets get deployed to see how those get...

Drove past today on the way to the dentist. V4 pedestals, all but two are installed (the remaining ones are still on a pallet). Bruce.

Without disputing any of the above, the Palladium Model X (2022 and newer) lose standard turn signal and gear selector stalks. For me that makes switching between the X and, well, any other car a bit jarring. Bruce.

Given the fact that no one's apparently been able to get a charge here since sometime around April 12, and it's still not showing up on the mobile app, I'm changing the thread title to reflect a "temporary closure". Bruce. EDIT: Tagging @Guacahummus @Big Earl @corywright to see what change to...

Yes you can do turn signals, high beams, and wipers from the S3XY Buttons system. They might work a little differently from how physical controls work (for example the turn signals are push-on push-off, there isn't an equivalent to lightly pressing the turn signal stalk). Yes you need the...

I see that on the mobile app also. I'm gonna mark it as temporarily closed here on TMC. Maybe supercharge.info should do the same ... @Big Earl @Guacahummus @corywright Bruce.

The trip planner on the Tesla web site is IMHO more of a marketing tool to show the feasibility of long-distance EV travel, than an actual mechanism I'd want to rely on for trip planning. Bruce.

Personally, I've only noticed the smell when driving past the cattle lots, which are a little bit north of the Harris Ranch Superchargers. Bruce.

No worries! OK, now if I had actually had my tea this morning first, I would have noticed in the Model X post you did, you actually did say "Model X". So. I merged both of the threads together and all the posts are in the thread in the Model X forum...discussion should continue there because...

Great first post, welcome to TMC! Bruce.

Friendly note from a TMC moderator: It looks like you posted the same thread to both the Model S and Model X forums, but nowhere did you say which model of car you were asking about. Could you please say which, so I can delete/merge the "other" thread? Thanks, Bruce.

Congrats on your fourth century and welcome to 48th place! (I know you won't be staying for long 😎 ) Belated congratulations also to @Shesmyne2" and @a.deodatus for similar accomplishments. I gotta get back out on the road. Bruce.

@Big Earl @Guacahummus @corywright ^^^ "Expanding" state? Bruce.

@Guacahummus @Big Earl @corywright ^^^ Bruce.

Pictures of sites under construction are hugely helpful because they don't rely on the poster's interpretation as to what the current state actually is. Some people think "it's done" when they see posts and cabinets in place, but a lot of times that last step of getting the utility transformer...

Reverse angle picture (didn't feel like walking out into the middle of traffic on El Camino Real just to take pictures of a Supercharger!). Bruce.

Some Superchargers have been "under construction" for much longer than this, unfortunately. Is charging at home or at work feasible for you? Bruce.

Live now. Bruce.

My S85D (AP1, MCU1) went into the service center this past weekend for the first time since 2021 (to change headlight bulbs and work off some minor recall items). While there they updated its software from 2022.8.10.16 to 2022.8.10.17, which as far as I can tell only changed the "telltale" font...

There was a batch of fairly significant changes in 2021 resulting in the "Palladium" Model S/X. Some people call that a "refresh". Did you miss it? Bruce.

The site for this thread (Dublin, CA - Amador Valley Blvd.). I saw a repost of the NextDoor report on a local Tesla FB group, as well as a lot of chatter on the topic. From what I can tell, Tesla replaced the affected cables sometime before or over the weekend, and the site is operational as of...

Went by here this morning and didn’t see any signs of construction. Bruce.
