The new feature (at least that I've recently noticed) is where it shows the predicted battery level upon arriving at your destination worked perfectly for me this weekend. at around 100 miles away with a lot of variables, hills, high temps, etc. it nailed it exactly.

Also got this warning before leaving so I knew to hit the supercharger a little early for my 10 minute quick charge.

A co-worker drove us to lunch in his Tesla. He showed it off: 0-50 in >3 seconds, farts while the turn signals are on, etc. Fun for sure, but too rich for my blood.
 
We stayed in a BFNowhere place that had SCs in the parking lot.

Those critters are noisy on the wire.

And pretty quickly, I got my 24.5 replaced with 24.6 (right when we pulled in last night ...) 3 days, that might be the shortest time between updates since we've owned it.

EXIF looks all stripped out.

Tesla crew at the Portofino, love that free juice so the 260 mile round trip cost ~$4 :D

Any car that farts on command is worth the extra money.

Prices are comparable with any other luxury car, not to mention trucks. The one I drive now is cheaper than my last BMW.

There is a pretty major SC hole about 30-40 minutes west of Philly. Checked TMC last night and two different locations are now under construction :cool:

EDIT: it's actually THREE

Supercharger - Chester Springs, PA

No details nor sightings on exact location yet...possibly at the A+/Sunoco at the corner of 401 & 113? https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/findus/location/supercharger/ChesterSpringsPAQ322

That will be pretty dense coverage when they're done!

There's a charger desert in the middle of mid/north-central Florida, that's Palatka and Starke (you hear a lot of banjo playing in that area ...), the hope is a few Wawas and/or Buc-ee's get built with SuC (Wawas seem to do this as SOP, Buc-ee's had said they will as well, but have been slow).

So I got 10.69.2. So far I haven’t noticed too much of a difference vs 10.12. I guess I’ll update if anything changes.
 
BTW make sure you update the app to 4.13.1, 4.12.x was causing a lot more wake up events with the car and I was seeing a good bit more vampire drain than I had seen in the past. Like 2-3% a day vs. 1% every 2-3 days like the previous 12 months - it’s pretty much back to that. :cool:
 
The CCS1 adapter is currently available! Better grab one if you're interested, this like this tend to go OOS for months:

I am tempted to order it just to have it, but I have yet to need to charge at a supercharger let alone a third-party fast charger ( outside of me trying out the charger at the airport).

Yeah, I figured order it, leave it in the car, in the box, if it's never used, just sell it. Kind of digging on just the idea of having additional DCFC options when traveling.

Hahaha, the adapter gives you a sense of the absurd size difference in charging connectors ...
