Stopped by the location late last night with only a couple cars charging at that time. Charging speed is, as expected, not that fast but good enough. Max that I got was about 65kW or 200miles/hr.

Or the Target on Cottle Road.

So you're now using the "you're holding the wheel wrong" argument?

Some losers forced Tesla to put the nagging system on. And those of us who have been using it responsibly now have to suffer from this unreasonable torque requirement and not say a word? A lot of us hold the wheel very lightly on highways while still in full control. The system that Tesla has...

The first audible tone of each warning really shouldn't be counted toward the 3 strikes, especially for people who actually pay attention to the road and not the dashboard. Besides, not everyone applies such amount of torque (>1 lb) to the wheel while holding it. They really need to make it...

Not for people who keep their hands on the wheel *all* the time and still get the nag. In this case, the nag becomes a distraction.

I'm fairly sure that some people have already responded to you but I'll chime in anyway. I didn't really have much problem with my '15 MS but ever since I got my MX a couple of months ago, it's been nagging me even when I have at least one hand on the wheel *all* the time. So it's more like...

My application just got rejected because I signed it using Acrobat and they wanted a physical signature. With less than 2 months until 1/1/2019, I guess I'll just wait a little bit longer before sending it again.

Top 10 Superchargers to avoid.

I guess they won't deal with that after delivery. Still gonna lump that into my first service appointment (missing latch cover and the windshield camera issue) and see what they'll do. What a shame. The car is doing fine otherwise. Those welding spots just stand out like a sore thumb.

Does anyone know if the service center would fix the bad welding job? Like smoothing and repainting it? That's basically my main complaint right now.

There's no paint chip. It's just the reflection from the sun. Basically, everything looks fine from the outside if you don't open the doors. But you'll see a few ugly welding jobs when you open them.

Here's the closeup. The frame is just molded that way. Was it not like this before?

It's apparently not glued to the windshield properly. I tried to push it back but only 1 side would stay in place.

Got my MX 100D today. Can't say that I'm satisfied since the experience was definitely worse than when I got the MS 70D in 2015. First off, delivery was delayed by a couple of days - which is okay. But the delivery specialist didn't call me even once until I got a hold of her yesterday to...

I thought my experience from 3 years ago was good and decided to buy it this time. But this thread definitely got me worried. The original delivery date of my MX is supposed to be today but they emailed me over the weekend saying that it's delayed by 2 days. And I have not talked to the owner...

Definitely not as busy as the ones in Sunnyvale and Cupertino. Though AT&T's coverage is horrible in this area. I've had a hard time checking the car status from the phone as soon as I drive to within 1000ft of the superchargers. My phone gets full signal on T-Mobile there with no problem...

What do you mean by "I've known this..."? The tax credit? SGIP? hook up of an existing solar system to powerwalls? Powerwall cannot charge from both solar and grid? There are many things going on here and a lot of things were not clear when they introduced the powerwall (even the 1st gen) some...

Hi Wayne, I'd love to know how to reconfigure the powerwalls to not use solar at all. I do not intend to claim the tax credit anyway since the SGIP rebate is much bigger than that.

Just want to vent my frustration on the whole Powerwall installation experience. I reserved 2 Powerwall 2s within the first couple of days when it was unveiled back in October 2016. Ended up getting an installation date 21 months later in mid-July this year. I can understand the delay but what...

My guess is that this location will be named "Almaden Ranch" when it opens. Definitely not "South San Jose" as currently stated in the thread title.

Well, if you look at Tesla's website, there are 2 future locations in this area: Find Us | Tesla One in Almaden and another in South San Jose. This one is really the Almaden location and not South San Jose.

Not sure if anyone noticed this. I picked the stall right next to the transformer and went inside Target afterwards. Then I realized that I wasn't able to check my car's status at all. When I got back to the car, the screen showed a cell signal of just 1 bar. I wonder if the cell signal is just...

I stopped by the location at around 6pm this evening and there was still a Tesla technician working on a supercharger. So I went and asked him when the superchargers will be ready. And he said "Soon. Check back tomorrow." !!!!!

The fence is gone and you can park there now. Too bad no power yet.

If you look at 8.jpg that Dag posted above, you'll see that 12 superchargers have already been installed - which is already more that what the permit indicates. Then look at 4.jpg and you'll see 4 (edit: there are actually 5 spots) extra parking spots without any charger installed. I guess they...

Interesting. The permit says 10 superchargers but I'm seeing 12 installed and it looks like they're still working on 3 or 4 more. So the total will be 16?

Same here. And very disappointed that the Time-Based Control still won't let me charge from the grid.

"Almaden" could refer to the Almaden area (virtually pointless to put superchargers there if you look at the location) or the Almaden Expressway or a plaza name. If it refers to a plaza name, then there are only 2 possible locations: Almaden Ranch (Bass Pro) or Almaden Plaza (Costco). I'd be...

Looks like a couple new San Jose locations have been added to the Tesla website: - South San Jose - Almaden Find Us | Tesla Both of them are showing target opening in Summer 2018. For the Almaden location, my guess would be near Bass Pro (Almaden Expwy and Hwy 85). Not sure about the South...

Coming up on 3 years on mine too. Had it serviced twice: First time for a couple depressed sensors in the back (Either they came loose or someone pushed them in intentionally. We couldn't tell). Another for replacing a defective windshield (bubbles insides the glass). Also had a tire replaced...

Oh oh that's right? :D In any case, the tire pressure warning was on after I parked my car outside for a few hours. It's been a nagging problem ever since I had the tire replaced after having a nail in it - sometimes showing a warning saying that it's 2-3psi lower than other tires. But a...

Does anyone know what this icon next to the rear right tire means? I got tire pressure warnings before but this one is new to me.

I just got yet another middle finger salute from a motorcyclist on my way home today because my car didn't yield with autopilot (AP1) on. It's getting to the point that I don't even care anymore. I can understand lane splitting in a stop-and-go traffic but everyone was already doing 50mph+ in...

If the video is not scripted, then that's not a prank. That's reckless driving and the guy really should be jailed/fined for endangering his passengers. Lyft really should do something about this.

Happened to me as well and I rebooted it a couple times. The images eventually came up but it's very very slow.

That's not true. It will download the firmware automatically but it won't install until you confirm it.

Me too!! :D

Keep in mind that without autopilot, the Model S was still the best overall car in 2014 and 2015. With the crash details trickling in, I probably won't worry too much about Tesla. It's a new technology and they definitely need to improve it over time. But I doubt that it'd bring the company...

I think he simply didn't pay attention to the road at all and he paid for the price even though it seems to trigger from the truck driver's fault.

That's why I also said that both autopilot and the tesla driver probably didn't do their job as well. But the truck driver would still be at fault even if the accident didn't happen. This is what they called an "unsafe turn".

No, it's because the truck driver didn't have the right of way in this situation. The autopilot feature and the Tesla driver might have failed to avoid this but the truck driver seems to have started all this by making a turn without enough clearance, based on the info that we have so far.

For version 2.0, it really needs to be location-aware with historical road data to slow down at curves and unknown obstacles. You can't rely on just real-time data like what we have now. With location-awareness, you can anticipate the road condition and adjust ahead of time. Otherwise, you might...

Autopilot shouldn't have recognized the truck as a overhead sign and the Tesla driver should've paid attention to the road. But more importantly, why did the truck driver cross the highway when he didn't have enough clearance to avoid this in the first place??

On the contrary, my teenage daughter keeps on saying that she wants a car that she doesn't have to drive. So if you leave Tesla, she'll fill in :)

Based on the pictures that I've seen so far, the Model 3 is probably a foot shorter and a bit narrower than the Model S. So things will squeeze inward a little bit and I doubt that they have the same space for the battery pack. A 90kWh pack may not even be an option here.

Saw this video the other day and got me thinking. Tesla autopilot failed on a highway - YouTube There's a section on 101 near Burlingame that I never felt comfortable using AP too. Maybe we should compile a list of locations (divided highway, clearly marked and not exit lane) that AP doesn't...

I placed the big stickers too high and had to use a heat gun to take them off. Now I've got only 1 small sticker in the bumper. The 2 "damaged" ones are in the trunk. Still wondering if I should get the replacement stickers.

If it's integrated with the navigation system and a destination is set, then it would know whether it should get off the highway. But for now, it's probably only good for driving in the middle lane of a divided highway.

Yea that's the right decision but wrong speed.
