On my Model 3 I just put the CCS adapter in the door pocket, fits perfect, I haven't tried it on the new TM3 like the one you showed

This site already has the transformer, just needs to be commissioned

Check-ins for 2024-05-16 - Sisters, OR (#1167) - Wilsonville, OR (#1168) - Rochester, WA (#1169) - Bothell - 201st Pl SE, WA (#1170) - Lynnwood - 148th St SW, WA (#1171) Easy drive from Bend to Everett. Made the mistake of telling Tina the drive from Sisters to Wilsonville would be quick as it...

🎵Outta my brain on the 5-15 🎶 Check-ins for 2024-05-15 - Anderson, CA (#1165) - Klamath Falls - Crater Lake Pkwy, OR (#1166)

Nothing today. I’ll check again on the drive home in a few weeks

I don't think we have gotten a photo posted of the boxes that surely contain the posts on this thread, but yes, I was disappointed when I drove by last week and they were sitting there unopened. Perhaps they were waiting for those cable spools you photographed. Sure would be exciting to have...

You are forgetting about xenophobia, there is lots of places on the planet where the residents Don't Want people from outside to come in and the kids are not reproducing, 'cause it's icky, so these places could really use more workers, including the kind you plug in.

I still think Teslas need a real Wiki, Wikipedia is never gonna allow the level of detail that could be posted about the vehicles, but I get that no one makes a reliable software package. The ability to update the first post in a thread is great for keeping the most current info in that post so...

Oh, wow! You are right. All that work I put into some of those wikis, the admins said it was crashing the server so they abandon it.

Can't say he didn't warn us

Well, it's been a week or two since this thread came up, surprising nothing ever came of it

Two problems: 1) Tesla changed the API and no one seems to be doing work on it as a hobbiest, which is what I based my original app on. 2) My app talks to the car and changes it's rate, I have no code experience with the chargers. I am learning how to program things in Home Assistant now...

Rereading this thread, it was highly prophetic

I drove down to Carmel to use A Brilliant Shine as they did a friend's car and I liked the work. Just picked it up and he did full paint correction, although a couple of chips that made it thru my original leading edge only PPF remain. This time I did full body and was out the door for just over...

They do offer a pretty cheap service for this issue, but all I did to stop the noise was rotate the ball on the top of the suspension and the noise went away. I tried injecting grease into it first, but rotating it did the trick on my 2018 TM3. Not my video

Just like the rest of us Tesla drivers

The local Oakland Supercharger has had one of those robot security trailers in place since it opened (the Walmart next door has two), when I was there recently the cameras, lights and solar panels were all stolen, heck the whole tower was missing.

Yeah, but if you don't know you have to go to the grocery store and you just stop at each establishment and have them tell you to go away it takes a LONG time to get to the end where the grocery store is. If I had gone across the street to BK that would have worked, but I didn't know, if I had...

Yeah, PlugShare sucks. There are a bunch of new V4 sites that don't have the Magic Dock enabled yet, definitely something they need to decide to do and then implement. Assuming that position hasn't been vacated.

Best has to still be Kettleman City until the Drive In Theater one opens in Santa Monica Worst is just down the road, Buttonwillow - Cal Club Rd, CA, it's supposed to only be for race days, like the Laguna Seca one, but it's right off the freeway so people can use it but it's got no resources...

Somebody needs to start a Tesla Wiki

That's EXACTLY the sorta *sugar* I was thinking I'd do when I got my Cybertruck, or do Baja or Alaska, so of course I got a Model X with FUSC instead. It does have light hail damage from the previous owner so a little adventure. But probably never going to do any of those things now.

Don't worry, it get's better. And now some Monty Python

That is the most expensive (Tesla towable) trailer on the planet. Would be nice, but very hard to justify.

Decades

OK, so I mentioned you can use a local Supercharger to activate Pre-conditioning so you don't drive to a local CCS like you mentioned you did and get slow charging. You then tell me you will never do that, so you'll never have slow charging because you'll only be using it when on a road trip...

Yeah, these threads and websites come and go, the problem is that it's a fast moving target. And there are so many pieces to track. Is this bug on every car, is it on every current version of the software, is it just the way I drive? And mostly "Will anyone at Tesla pay attention?" Wow! When...

I was with @Big Earl when he has his rear motor replaced in his TM3 and he wanted the old part. They spent a ton of time hemming and hawing, and calling superiors, but after telling him NO all afternoon, and Maybe, but it’ll be $1600 core charge, he finally got to take it and for free. It’s...

You can tell the car you are headed to a Supercharger after the CCS charger and since it doesn’t expect to be charged at the CCS it will pre-condition for the Supercharger and you’ll get the benefit of a pre-condition before said switch exists.

Live in Alameda, no reason to sleep in my car here. I am talking all up and down the west coast where I Supercharger Hunt

Wait, no Mexican Hat (from Forest Gump)? No Four Corners? No Shiprock? I think the Grand Canyon is just off the Interstate

Wonder if this will be affected by the layoffs, otherwise with the Switching Equipment and the Transformer installed, and the Posts all on location it shouldn't be long until this one is commissioned. Assuming there is someone on staff to do it.

I think it's just ChargePoint that sells the stations. EVgo and EA own and operate. There are probably smaller groups that sell their stations, our local power company just bought a few Tritium DCFCs from the network Loop, and Loop has the contract to fix them for our power company.

I do wonder how much the name on the Permit is the one who did the work. My local permit contact was RICHARD SARTINI who was let go, but mentioned that he was sending an email to the UK staff when he lost access to his Tesla account. I just assumed that it was a name at Tesla like the way Steve...

Why does this site still show the status in the title as Permit only when there are fences up?

Considering how precious the seals on the Model X's are I do worry about the future of my vehicles. I have been glad to be able to find generic seals for my motorhomes that are decades old. Part of the way the RV industry has developed, all the parts in all the RVs are available in a single...

Are you implying it's the construction crews that got the ax? I would think more those that work in property acquisition, and those that do plans for the supercharger station, maybe some that build the Superchargers there in NY. But it seems like it was an attempt to remove a log jam of...

Yeah, why did you make us read that? BLAME TESLA Oh, but you know it's gonna be all over r/RealTesla: "Can't even survive a fall from orbit? How weak, Elon sucks!"

Just had them bring me a 12v battery for my March 2018 that finally failed, they initially charged me $30 for the install, but when I pointed out that *I* did the install they dropped it back to just the price of the batt. Wonder what they'll charge for the window switch install.

My sister used to live in Taos and there was a 40 or 50 mile loop north of the city called the Enchanted Circle. I made the mistake of taking it on my normally aspirated vehicle and it was having great difficulty at that altitude, wanna go back and do it in an Electric. Highly recommend adding...

That's the same truck that they made into the Lil Red Truck I posted above with the Semi exhaust pipes.

Oh, dang, I was just there, but decided to take the route down from Mountain Village (Telluride) thru Cortez to Durango as it didn't require any backtracking. If I had only known the other road would be prettier. Looks like it runs along the peak of the mountains too, very much like the Top of...

Not gonna lie, I'd take the red one

Aluminium is cheaper, isn't it? Seems like it would be smart

He is doing a great job of showing that a company can make it to the top of the heap and not be dicks about it. "We have stores all over the planet to help individuals with their problems and yet we generate enough solar and wind power to keep every single employee of Apple carbon neutral" I...

You don't stay as big as Apple is by taking risks

Dang!

In my experience the police knock on the window and I drive away unticketed

It's terrible until you get in sync with it. It is one thing that won't get faster as you accumulate to your MX, but at least you won't fight it once you figure out the rhythm. I am actually in a rut now where I don't open the door enough or something and the door tries to close on me as I get...

Oh, man, how exciting, does this mean that they finally mounted the posts? The charger stalls as it were? Last time I was there is was just the power electronics and the trenching that was finished.
