    Suggested Tesla Supercharger locations in Florida

    How would you like to go to Miami to watch a baseball game? You CAN! ....if you leave a few hours early and charge up at a Tesla dealership.... Really? Yeo. I will once again be driving 110 miles, from Stuart to Miami in an ICE vehicle. 10 months of ownership and 2600 miles of driving...

    Supercharger - Gainesville, FL

    I spoke with Tesla's "supercharger team" prior to buying my Model S. They PROMISED that there would be a station in Orlando, and another in "Gainesville or Ocala." Well, I took delivery in early September, and the car has about 2500 miles on it. I was willing to bet more than $100,000 on...

    First trip Up I-95

    @ SWEGMAN (regarding the loss of 30 miles of range with 21 inch tires) This is the first I've heard of this. My P85 has the large tires. I can assure you that I'd never have bought these tires (and perhaps not the car) if this information had been given to me. The "ownership experience" has...

    Jacksonville SuperCharger

    Tesla has been less than circumspect about SC locations. I've had my P85 since early September and have driven fewer than 1400 miles. At least 40% of those have been miles logged by friends who were driving the car. My commitment to buy the car was made after I was assured by Tesla that...

    Parking sensors

    Okay, I will just write this. I wasn't going to do it, but there's enough frustration to justify: My order was placed some time back. I communicated several times with many people at Tesla about parking sensors, blindspot alert, and a few other elements. Replies were vague, but polite...

    Design Studio Updates!

    My car is in production. Tesla tells me that, in my specific case (others will vary), I would have to pay the "new" price if I wanted to exit the current production point and get the parking sensors. So, is it worth $6,000 or more to get parking sensors? I guess not.

    Charging Station Installation

    "Mr. Electric" called me (who gave them my phone number) and told me that they were ready to install my HPWC. After a few moments of being stunned, I asked for a price quote for the install, and for a regular 240 install. YIKES! I called three reputable electrical contractors, and all three...

    Acronyms for NOOBS?

    Some of us come from disciplines which have acronyms in common use. We succeed in alienating and/or disinforming people by using our "exclusive" language. It might help NOOBS (this is my first post), if there was a posting of the meaning of acronyms: SOC means? "standard of care" (I know...
