    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    I have been wondering about this myself. I hadn't worried about it much and figured one day I would get tired of it showing up and ask them to remove it. I don't know if it can connect to the car still but my phone app will try and it shows there and in my myTesla page online. I'm happy to...

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    @btr_ftw: I just realized that the tesla you picked up at salvage is still showing up on my 'mytesla' page so if you brought the car online I could likely connect to it. Any interest in testing that out and do I need to do anything to relinquish it to you?

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    Since you're enjoying the pics, here is one from my friend who came to get us. We are working to get everything open. Took work to get the frunk open and you can see the driver window is half way down. The car decided to do that itself and eventually put it back up.

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    The car is an 85 (standard, rear wheel drive) and was supercharger enabled.

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    That's where that 220 connector was! I thought it was lost over a year ago. Lol. Yes and I guess we'll need to get a new apples to apples. They had to break in at the salvage yard for me as the doors wouldn't open and I did want my Maui Jim sunglasses back. I did forget about those other...

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    Was down for a guys cards weekend. Nobody injured except my pride and didn't let it ruin the weekend. Although I did take a lot of ribbing for it. House was up high enough that it wasn't affected.

    Repairing a Flooded Tesla Model S : HOW-TO

    I'm the original owner of this car, I believe I'm almost positive you have my totaled tesla model S. It was a 2012 black S85 model S with tan interior and a panoramic roof. It was totaled during the nor'easter in Sea Isle City NJ last October. It was not a fun day. Forgunagely it was...

    Tesla store opening in King of Prussia, PA

    Looks like a super charger will be added on the PA turnpike according to today's announcement. My estimate has it at the service location called South Midway Service, which is about 100 miles west of the Harrisburg East exit near I-90 interchange. Not exactly where I wanted it as I travel to...

    Tesla store opening in King of Prussia, PA

    Was at the opening event last night at the new Tesla store in King of Prussia. They did an awesome job. The store is long and held 2 full model S' plus a Model S frame showing the engine, battery and air suspension. It is located in the Mall, first floor, next to the Apple store (great...

    Any Charging Places Near Penn State University?

    My brother and I are PSU football season ticket holders and both Tesla owners (VINs 3099 and 3122) and we travel up there for recruiting and other events too. There is currently nothing that looks very good, except sitting at a campground for hours, but we are making an effort to change that...

    Tesla Stores

    I was at the K street store a few weeks ago and they said they were hiring additional staff for the Tyson's Corner store, so not a replacement at least from their perspective. I don't think Tesla is looking to pull back on any stores. I also think they gave a timeframe and it was imminent...

    Not Going to Make 2012?

    I did not get the wall charger. As an update though, I think they listened to my logic (basically the same thing I posted here) and have told me my car is in the final stages of production and should be shipped out within days. So, great news for myself on that front.

    Not Going to Make 2012?

    Thanks. I know if I asked he'd let me keep it entirely until my car arrived, but I would never do that to him. I just feel it is an odd way to thank someone for actually selling their product for them. There seems to be a lot of scrambling and poor coordination. I don't know if they are...

    Not Going to Make 2012?

    I'm in a similar situation, but with some added salt on the wound: My specialist has struggled to answer any of my questions throughout the process, from local tags/inspection, to local setup of service center, to timing, to other details I convinced my brother to purchase car about 2...
