    Powder Coating Stock 19" Rims in Bay Area.. Recommendations?

    Looking for recommendations, pricing, and how many days they need the car. I live in Berkeley near North Oakland, so preference is East Bay, but open if more affordable elsewhere. Thanks in advance!

    Update Graphic with T-Sportline Wheels / Spoiler

    Great thread. Was wondering if this is possible, so thanks for confirming on the rims and spoiler. Question for the group though... does anyone know if they will black out the graphic? I'm in the process of removing the chrome and blacking out my Model S... would love to see the changes...

    Supercharger only maintaining high amps for short periods, normal?

    Tesla Supercharger attendant suggests throttling occuring

    the San Mateo supercharger is a crowded one, so I'm sure first and foremost it's to hold folks to the 30 min limit where posted. He was a younger kid, probably in his twenties.

    Does the current refreshed 90D have secret capacity up to a 100D?

    Actually I talked to a Tesla rep managing one of the Supercharger locations. He confirmed that the charge rate is throttled by Tesla based on how much you need to discourage folks from topping off. According to the rep, if you only need 50 miles the car will charge super slowly, where as the...
