    Older Teslas limited to 90kW Supercharging

    Yep, there ain't no free lunch.

    Can an adapter be made to combine 2 x NEMA 14-50 into a single HPWC connector?

    Yes, it has been done, but only as a DIY, I believe. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/8661-Adapter-to-combine-two-30A-level2-into-one-60A-J1772-faster-charging/page2 Also, if you have not seen it before, check out FlasherZ's FAQ page...

    Is it true the Model S has no tow hook?

    Thanks for that bit of insight, towman. Boy, unintended consequences. Although I have never had to use the towing eye on other vehicles, I sure wish we had it back on the Model S.

    Why is Tesla putting a supercharger in Seattle?

    Welcome to the forum. Yes, that would be great. The Ellensburg Supercharger and one in Seattle would make the Seattle - Tri-Cities trip a piece of cake.

    EV access to HOV lanes in Washington State?

    Yes, the motorcycle exemption seems a bit odd. Concerning EVs, as ChadS clearly points out, WA DOT has been quite clear - the goal is reducing congestion. Since CA (and others) allow EVs in the HOV lanes, I understand many CA EV sales or leases are closed mainly to get the coveted HOV sticker.

    First confirmed battery swap upgrade from 60 to 85?

    Agree on both counts. That communications problem is a real irritant to me.

    Cooling pumps B now C

    Lordy, I hate revelations like this. No, not directed at montgom626, good to know, glad he posted. What I don't like is the 'who has what' speculation that begins, and the uncertainty that follows.

    Supercharger - Ellensburg, WA

    Daughter sent the following from Ellensburg, today, 12/15. I might have to revise my 'by Christmas' prediction.

    Are there many high amperage J1772 public charging stations?

    Another vote for dual chargers. I've made good use of them here in WA and on a recent trip in Canada. Also, it appears that Tesla is willing to sort of unbundle the duals from the HPWC. Following is an email I received when questioning the wisdom of bundling. Hi William, I received your...

    Seeking Feedback from All Model S Owners…

    As usual, well done, bonnie. My thoughts exactly.

    S85 Owners: Do you wish you had bought S60 instead

    Two years of driving the limited range LEAF and the fact that we would no longer have an ICE vehicle made the 85 kWh battery and dual chargers a no brainer. Never gave the 60 a second thought.

    Geting in and out of the darn thing...

    Consider the Handybar - really helps my wife. And, it is a seat belt cutter and window breaker.

    Geting in and out of the darn thing...

    My wife and are are getting along in years and find the MS a bit difficult to exit. The driver has that big round thing to help. Consider the Stander Handybar for the passenger and/or the driver. http://goo.gl/OJUSyq Can't use the device for exiting the rear seats, and that is even tougher...
