Tesla Supercharger PSA

Today at a SuperCharger site I noticed something interesting. The site has both V3 and V4 posts. I chose the V4 post as I can park and not take up more than 1 space. While charging another Lightning rolls up and takes up 2 spaces at the V3 posts. This site has 28 posts, over 2/3 of which are V4 posts. To me the only reason the other Lightning driver chose the V3 is because they didn’t know the difference.

So PSA for all non-Tesla EV drivers. If you see a newer black and white V4 SuperCharger post, it has a much longer cable than the older style red and white Supercharger posts.

That is all. 🫡

Well this is the most I can get out of this thing. The thing being a Flash with 131kWh ER battery.

Soooo close to 7’s in the 8th. I really wish the launch, especially in sport mode with TC off, was more aggressive. No matter what I do, the truck gently feeds in the power. Thus, the 60’ times are very so so. I know the tires have more as I’m not getting any wheel spin. I’m sure the gently power delivery is to protect the axles, but if it isn’t, an OTA update with a launch mode would be very much appreciated!

Also on a positive note, due to this testing taking place at 100% SoC, I was able to see my max available energy. After 17,000+ miles I’m still seeing 131.07kWh usable indicated!
