    Blog Tesla Restores Power To San Juan Children’s Hospital

    Just remember the power load from a hospital the air conditioning load there given the high heat and humidity has got to be incredible by itself. Then add in the lighting for the parking lots and the buildings, elevators the specialized machines hospitals use. It is a lot of power now add in...

    Owners delivery stories, photos and first impressions

    Sounds like a piper Cub. You think a Tesla is expensive? I've gone out with many private plane owners for the $100 hamburger. Jump in plane after pre trip fire u fly 60 to 100 miles or so order a hamburger at the airport diner then fly back to home field. Fuel up plane before parking Voila...

    Wow, I can blow through tires

    I've used Goodyeat touring Eagles on three different cars in my lifetime and it wasn't until I ran across a Goodyear engineer and asked why they wear out so quick? He told me they are one step removed from racing tires and the compound is much softer for better handling at the expense of long...

    Tesla moments

    I know this post is over a year old but if you haven't ordered the second MS yet you might want to consider a CPO MS. Save yourself a ton of coin and get all the options. Simply consider a CPO MS as having a few more " test " miles on it. I don't own MS yet, but I've visited the store in Natick...

    Tesla moments

    If memory serves me right any Tesla stock holder ordering a M3 automatically goes to the head of the line. Don't matter if you have 1 share or 10,000. Just another perk from Tesla.

    It actually has at least 4 cylinders, in the brake calipers so technically he was right and wrong at the same time. Wonder if AAA fixed their software yet?

    Tesla moments

    Just curious if seeing as the car can't stay connected to the Internet I would hope it still connects to your wifi service at home so you can receive updates without going to a service center. Take heart more superchargers are coming and eventually you owners should be able to get continuous...

    Tesla moments

    The safe way to charge another cars battery is use an inverter of at least 400 watts then plug in a 10 amp 12 volt battery charger which you hook up to the dead battery then about 10 minutes charge should be enough for him to start his car. Won't blow the 50 amp battery fuse nor have a high load...

    Thoughts From an Old Timer

    I just joined the forum as I would love to own a MS but unless I hit the lottery it is highly unlikely. My knowledge of Tesla's is second hand mostly reading online from owners and talking to the few Tesla's I've run into. I am retired now but three years ago was driving a dump truck on site on...
