Vote scheduled for next week for customers of PG&E, Edison, and SD The California Public Utilities Commission will soon vote on one of the most contentious pieces of legislation that recently passed through the state legislature — Assembly Bill 205, which lowers rates but also establishes a...

yikes. thanks for responding.

agree with the others. When I travel, I usually check in, drop off the family, and then run over to the supercharger before the batt gets cold. (Or stay at a hotel with a charger so I can plug in overnight.)

I realize it was covered under warranty, but did you happen to see what the price woudl have been? Have a 2018 Model 3 LR that will only charge to 32 amp, when set for 48. Wall charger is fine, since my other car will charge at 48.). Since I'm out of warranty, thought I;d inquire about the...

I have no doubt that real car guys do such a thing, but 99% of the folks have never heard of it. So, no, no need. (If there was a need, we'd have heard about all the brake issues by now.)

Agree with Bruce. I drive The OC to Sunnyvale, and that only requires one stop, so I usually head to Kettleman for a break and meal. But it's not the fastest, which is shorter charges on I5. I also may do that shorter charge and take a meal break at Harris Ranch. Breakfast is ranch hand...

if you are not one to keep yoru car for more than 4-5 years, why not lease?

high test is available in the Mountain Counties so you might just pick up a jug at a local mini mart or parts supply store. https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/consumer-products-program/complying-consumer-products-regulations/windshield

actually, I think it was: "...income-graduated basis … such that a low-income ratepayer would realize lower average monthly bills without making any changes in usage.” That's how they roll in Sacto.

If I had to guess, the intent was that over time, the low income folks woudl be held harmless, i.e., as everyone's rates increased, the subsidy for the low income woudl increase.

Not sure why this is such a big issue for Tesla owners. By definition, a recall means that the manufacturer must notify all owners in writing, but more importantly, pay 100% for any fix. So, if the computer in your older model S is too small to run the SW required under the recall, Tesla...
