LOL, yes, Flagstaff.

I just charged at Flagstaff. It was my 14th supercharger of the trip and the fastest one yet at 289mph (we have one of the earlier batteries - 90kw). The Marriott is nice also -- great lounge and a little market for snacks/drinks. You can follow our trip at musings on the strait and narrow...

Gallup is showing up in the database. I was there around midnight last night and there was actually a glitch -- I ended up charging down the road at USA RV site, but by the time I left around 7 this morning, Tesla had already responded, updated the supercharger firmware and powered it up. So...

If all goes well, I'll be there in a few hours.

Just left the Worthington supercharger and had a cup of soup at Ground Round. It will be great when Albert Lea is online, because it was a bit of a stretch to the Worthington stop. I actually stopped at a community college in Albert Lea that had a solar-powered J1772. Props to them, but I'd...

Just went by Madison yesterday and took a picture. Still a little ways to go. - - - Updated - - - I hit all of the Wisconsin superchargers yesterday actually. I'm driving from Chicago to LA, taking Elon's LA to NY route, backwards. I am blogging it here -...

Loving this thread. We stretched. The only vehicles I have owned have been old hand-me-downs from family members meaning I have not spent more than $1 purchasing them. My husband's biggest purchase was a $3000 car. Our Model S was obviously a big jump. We are a one-car family (plus an...

I haven't noticed much change until about 20*F. The biggest issues I've had are when it gets down into the single digits and negative numbers and then you'll start to see more drop and issues with the HVAC taking your energy and the battery having trouble getting warm.

Female owner here too. I always seem to get suprised faces whenever people ask about my car. Usually they assume it belongs to my husband (or father). Perhaps there's a age bias there also.

Or you were super lucky, because you were one of the first to get a Model S! - - - Updated - - - From what it looks like, yes, it really does take a new battery. Which is why it must not be an easy fix. It's not as if we didn't expect battery engineering to get better. I feel a twinge of...

I just hit my year anniversary with about 21000 miles and I've seen similar number changes. I agree its mostly software. Err... firmware?

@Toto_48313 - Do you have a list of what the points are? I'll be driving from Minneapolis to LA the second week of January. Haven't figured out how I'm going to get through South Dakota yet.... among other places.

which may only be able to be done by the man himself. :)

Fog lights are no longer being offered. They were previously. And they are separate from the cornering lights. Cornering lights are still offered as part of the tech package.

I have gotten towed in a flatbed though. I had 3 miles left of range and about 9 miles to go until the next charger, so I called roadside to be safe. If you call that safe, that is...
