There are different ways to interpret badging status. When we had a 2013 Model S, there was no battery size badging yet, so after a year or so there was some recognition of "oh, you're an early adopter!" As Tesla no longer makes a 60 Model S, I would suggest that the OP may want to consider...

The times when I'm lucky enough to be driving a Model S, I'm still usually super conscious of not wanting to risk scratching her for anything. I swear, I'm not stuck up, I just don't want to take my hands off the wheel while driving in suburban traffic (not the best autopilot scenario). But it...

You could comb through old threads for details, but I'm pretty sure we had less than a week's notice for the Model X party. Other people got invites before we got ours, so it's possible we were in a subsequent round of invites [as in, "ok, there's still room in the venue, send out an email to...

I suspect some of this is a factor of volunteer run events - not everyone has a lot of experience with putting this sort of thing together. At a previous event, someone pointed out that there needed to be sufficient signage for people to realize the event was 1) happening, 2) open to the...

I suspect there's some kind of administrivia involved. When we were en route to Lee, we called in to ask about it because it didn't show up on the supercharger list. The support guy said "it's not officially open, but, um, I can see that someone's actively charging there right now!"

Given the impact absorbed by the Tesla, I wonder if the it also saved the lives of the people in the Honda Civic ahead of it. I know there are a ton of Tesla drivers out there, but I can't help feeling like we're sort of an extended family. That, combined with the death of a child and the...

If your commute is that short, depending on your budget, you could consider buying a used electric smart. It's a fun car to drive and I've seen used ones on Autotrader for 6-8K. If there has been some loss of range you might be able to negotiate on the price but you should still have plenty of...

I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony I'd like to buy each one a car A beautiful EV (It's a Tesla thing)

Add me to the list of folks who reserved 3/31 and have yet to receive a print. My husband also reserved a Model 3 and got his thank you print long ago; I don't know if there was priority given to current Tesla owners or what. I figure worst case scenario, he'd probably share. But I kinda want...

I could see that, Hank. The Auburn Mall SC kinda creeps me out in broad daylight.
