octane-what series of unhappy posts why doesn't he just sell the car and go away....

I would take a bet that the holdup is the local electric utility Tesla is always tight mouthed about opening dates. Likely they don't know themselves when the utility people will turn them on. Utilities are a monopoly, "no rush, it's us or nobody. " attitude. thanks for the Burger 21 info...

As far behind as the local utility monopoly wants it to be .

glad to see they aren't ICEd in already .Being too close to the stores is worse than being too far away. Especially when large numbers of Gen 3 start showing up I've got my fingers crossed for them working by June 15..Otherwise it will be about 3 hours longer on this leg. Time charging +...

There is no risk with 200 mile trips Presumably they will be using. p100 d. And even in my S85 200! miles is no problem. They can slow down to 50 or 55 mph if needed

assuming "overnight" in practice means about 14 hours you should be able to get 42 miles or more from the motel charge, saving quite a bit of time at the L2 warning you need to be sure the car dealers welcome Tesla. Some do, some don' t . One Nissan dealer was famous for turning away Leafs...

I don't care if they are awkward as long as they are functioning I have been waiting for a LR SC for 3 years

I actually think the new arrangement makes sense Now if they can only get the juice turned on, inspected, and then calibrated by Tesla This as taken a month at some places but we can always hope. I really need that SC. No matter how the chargers are arranged I will be a happy camper.

The alternative plan before the legislature would have made it $300 per year. $100 sounds fair to me and I live in Tennessee and drive a Tesla.. Most drivers of BEV will be paying less tax than the average ICE driver , thus it is a very mild BEV stimulus They also increased diesel tax by more...

essmd was that the Holiday Inn convention center in LR? Because I am getting conflicting reports about whether or not it is open for non guests for $10

all y this talk of high speeds makes me wonder. Exactly how fast will my 2014 Tesla S go? I am too chicken to actually drive it over 90m mph myself

It seems to me (not into construction) that it should not take close to 2 months to get this amount of work done You would think Tesla could afford new transformers. 20 years old??

it was the Brentwood location Don't remember the details but it was some board close to the end of the permitting process Probably the only reason they got permitted at all , or in any reasonable time framewas that the location was previously used as an auto shop of some sort In many states...

Not much Tesla can do about speeding permit process In my city final approvement was held up for nearly 2 months by a board composed 100% of auto dealers.. They had zero legal authority to do this but they did it anyway I say there is little Tesla can do but in fact a word or two from some of...

I regularly charge using a short extension cord to a NEMA 1430 .The key is adequate copper wire diameter. Online sources are available to calculate wire diameter for length. The problem is voltage drop which can be checked. Amazon has a some good 1450 cords
