    Supercharger - Jackson TN

    I just stopped there today. The 4 temp V3 chargers worked fine. Lots of construction going on in parking lot. Looks like there will be a new Tesla section with around 20 or so chargers coming in.

    Supercharger - Early, TX

    The CEFCO does make more sense. I've driven thru Early several times and haven't noticed any construction yet. But the Starbucks lot just doesn't appear large enough. Plenty of room at the CEFCO across the street. When I drive thru I check both locations.

    Supercharger - Encino, NM

    Stopped by this location on Monday (Oct 2). No progress yet. This sure will be a great location whenever they get it it installed.

    I stopped by this location on Sunday but no signs of supercharger activity yet.

    In the new MS, is there a way for wireless listening to rear entertainment center?

    They're providing test rides for potential new owners. They're out there all the time. :)

    Supercharger - Bossier City, LA

    In Bossier City visiting Grandkids. Stopped by to check on the new Superchargers. Not open yet. Looks like waiting to install transformer. Lots of electrical cables and construction just waiting. No one seems to be working on site at this time.

    Has anyone been by this location to check on update lately? How's it coming along?

    Supercharger - Hamilton, TX

    Looks like they just need some signage and maybe a light pole. Hopefully finished soon.

    Supercharger - Bossier City, LA

    This Supercharger location will be great for when we visit the grandchildren that live near it! Much better the the other location!

    Supercharger - Hamilton, TX

    Can't wait for this one to be up and running. It'll be a great alternative stopping point when using Hwy 281 to go up to Ft Worth instead of fighting the crazies on I-35.

    Supercharger - Bastrop, TX

    I drove by late Thursday afternoon and workers had a flatbed truck and a huge crane and was unloading and placing what I assumed were transformers. So hopefully it will be any time now up and running.

    Supercharger - Lubbock (SC), TX

    At least there's finally some action in Lubbock! If they could get something started in Clovis NM as well, it will make the trip to Albuquerque shorter.

    Supercharger - Bastrop, TX

    With other Buc-ees getting construction started, has anyone seen any action at the Bastrop Buc-ees yet?

    AC not working.. Help.

    Once my a/c was not cooling. I tried everything to reset/reboot but nothing worked. So I made a service appointment and they took it in for a day, tested everything, and told me they couldn't find anything wrong. They gave it back to me and a/c worked fine. Had no problems since. 🤷‍♂️

    Anyone have squeak in driver seat back? I’m trying to pinpoint source

    My '16 MS had an awful squeak in the front seat. Turned out the side bolster of the driver's seat was rubbing against the center console. Drove me crazy. Don't know if that's what causing your squeak. If it is, go to the auto part store and buy a little tube of Krytox Lubricant. Rub a little...

    Used 2013 Model S vs 2015 Model S

    I have a '16 MS and recently had a loaner '13 MS from the SC. I felt it was night and day the difference in just 3 yrs. The '13 felt heavier and slower, the interior was not as comfortable, and many of the little extras were missing (auto headlights, auto close on charging port, no AP only basic...

    Helen Ga. Charging?

    I'm planning a trip to Helen, Ga. PlugShare only shows a couple J-1772 in the Public Parking lot. Has anyone stayed at a hotel in town that has charging? There aren't any listed on PlugShare but I thought maybe someone's been there recently and seen one that may not be listed yet.

    12V battery. "Will I ever buy another Tesla? Guess."

    I needed to replace my 12v battery too. I made an appointment but misread the date of the appointment. I scheduled the appointment on the app on a Sunday night. I just saw it said my appointment was for Monday. (I didn't look close enough because it was for Monday 2 weeks out.) So I drove to the...

    What map are you looking at? There is no military base nearby. Austin-Bergrstrom Airport is nearby.

    Texas Giga Factory moving fast! Just drove by the new Tesla site in Austin and they are already clearing the ground! They're wasting no time to get going!

    Used Delivery from Cali to TX

    I ordered a CPO 2016 MS 90D and it came from Florida to Texas. It took 4 weeks to get mine.

    Austin Service Center does it again!

    More kudos to the Austin SC. I misread my appointment date to have a new 12v battery replaced and went in yesterday to have it done. They told me my appointment wasn't for yesterday but they would see if they had the battery available. They did and said they would put it in for me. They were...

    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    There didn't seem to be that many hotels with destination chargers along I-10 thru the southwest. However on our previous trip to Virginia I found plenty of hotels with destination chargers. Just need to check the PlugShare App.

    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    Mine is a 2016 MS 90D. I had the Autopilot set at 77 mph, a good cruising speed.

    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    The initial charging speeds were 315-330 mph. The only time it was really slow was when someone plugged into the B charger while I was on the A. A couple chargers weren't working well and only charged at 60-125 mph but had to change until I found one working correctly and would charge at 300 mph.

    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    It still runs like a dream. I'm not sure I would attempt a 3,000 mile trip in an ICE car with 87,000 miles on it, but the Tesla...it's fantastic!

    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    I had the interior temp set between 64°-66° and it stayed comfortable inside. I had no problems at all! As far as ICE cars along the side of the highway, I couldn't say why they were broken down - overheating, poor maintenance - but there was a lot of them.

    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    Mine has the sunroof and rear roof glass. But it helps to have the roof glass sunshades while driving in that heat. Also have a windshield shade that worked great while parked and charging.

    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    Just me and the wife. It's a very stress free way of traveling. No flat tires because I recently put a new set on the car. The busiest superchargers were in California but the hotel I stayed at had a free J-1772 charger.

    Just finished a 3,044 mile road trip in my '16 MS 90D

    I just drove to southern California and back for a total of 3044 miles in my 2016 MS 90D. Here are dome highlights: • MS drove like a dream. Just like a new car even with 87k miles on it. • Average Wh/mi was 322. Not bad. • Took the mountain passes with ease. • Interior stayed cool even when...

    Just ordered my first tesla and have some questions !

    The Tesla agent on the phone when I ordered my previously owned 2016 MS told me to inspect it and if there was anything wrong or damaged that was not advertised then Tesla would repair it free of cost. When mine was delivered it had some scratches on the hood and front fender that was not listed...

    Speed Bumps, Road Humps, & the Bottom of my MS

    Yeah, I had the mobile service guy over today and he said the bottom is pretty heavy duty metal with plastic skid protectors. So it's pretty hard to damage...unless you're a valet driving in cheetah mode!

    Speed Bumps, Road Humps, & the Bottom of my MS

    I was wondering if anyone knows what the bottom of the MS looks like and what kind of protection there is for the batteries. I have occasionally run over a speed bump that was extra high as well as some high road humps which caused my MS to bottom out as it went over them. Also have been on a...

    Home charging fluctuates from 8 kw to 4 kw

    I had the mobile repair guy at the house today for a handle repair and asked him about the charging unit fluctuating and he told me to make a new repair order and Tesla will bring me out a new UMC replacement free.

    Parking assist

    I've tried mine a couple of times and it worked fine. However I never use it because I try to park away from other cars so not to get door dings.

    Home charging fluctuates from 8 kw to 4 kw

    I have a Nema 14-50 outlet in my garage and have my Mobile Charging Unit plugged in for charging. Recently I've noticed my charging fluctuates from the max of 8 kw to 4 kw. It switches back and forth while charging. I haven't noticed this before and wondered if it is just with warmer temps...

    Automatic Climate Control Question

    They used to have a Smart Preconditioning Cabin feature where you could schedule your car to turn on the climate control before you got in your car if you had a set schedule. I don't have a regular work schedule so I never used it. But it seems that app has disappeared. I don't know if it's been...

    Annoying CNN article...

    I read one of the articles on the new Mustang EV and how Ford's autopilot will be better than Tesla's. However the article says that Ford states it will work on "100,000 miles of divided highway." Tesla's autopilot works on more than 100,000 miles and roads other than just divided highways...

    402 mi range — Wow!

    It's a great selling/psycological tool. I think most people are only familiar with the little electric cars that may only get up to 100 miles of range or the hybrids that only go 25-35 miles on full electric before the gas takes over. I always get asked how far can I go on a full charge. I tell...

    What spare tools should you carry in the MY

    I have a 50' extension cord that I sometimes take on long road trips, but I would only carry that if I plan on going somewhere where charging might be questionable. There are plenty of superchargers and destination chargers out there now so it's almost not necessary for the extension cord anymore.
