The German registration number starts with IN, which is for cars registered in Ingolstadt, where Audi happen to be headquartered. So maybe Audi got their hands on one and are testing it? If it was Tesla testing it on the Autobahn I would have expected it to be Dutch registered.

I've noticed this too, but I always thoght it was becuase it was possibly counting fractions of miles internally and just converting those numbers to km every 160 meter or so, and then sometimes increase 0.1 km and sometimes 0.2 km.

They have sold two to a business owner in Sweden. It's called fastcharger rather than supercharger, as it's limited to 60 kW. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/48234-Private-Tesla-Fastcharger-Not-quite-a-supercharger-This-guy-bought-2...

It is location based. When I entered the UK before switching to miles, it would show a 30 sign as 48. Unfortunately you can't switch only the speedometer. I would still like the navigation to show distances in km and the parking sensors in cm while driving in the UK.

Speculation: It's only 37 km along A7 from Bispingen, that opened earlier in the week, with 8 stalls. Bad Fallingbostel has 2 stalls according to supercharge.info. My guess is that it was just a temporary location. But again, this is pure speculation

Came home today after a week away, and found my "car memorabila" as the customs declaration read. Thanks wk057!

This makes no sense. What kind of regulatory approval would that be? I doubt an new certificate of conformity is needed, then they would need that for each update. And if there were law changes required it would take years, not weeks.

The will drop the tax on NOx emissions. The main polluter here is not Diesel cars, but industries, and those are the ones the Danish government wants to give a break. A bad idea if you ask me, but this is not done to help VW.

I rarely take my ICE motorbike for (short) trips, but it happens. And as it said vehicles, not cars, I ticked those options, but the 85 is the only car we own.

This will make a bigger difference when more of current 3G spectra is reallocated to LTE or later generations of mobile networks.

It's quite a bit of travel. First across the US (by train?), then by ship across the Atlantic, then reasembly in Tilburg, the Netherlands, and the sent by lorry to Italy. To me 2 months doesn't seem very much for that process. The reassembly part saves 10 % in import duties to the EU, as it can...

13th October 2015. And that's what I'd pick anyway of course, not just because all September was already taken :)

Yes of course, hence the smiley. I would read very little into some people testing if they can charge when they see a plug that fits. Volvo has publicly stated they don't believe in BEVs http://www.expressen.se/motor/volvochef-om-tesla-ingen-smart-losning/ (in Swedish). They believe the way...

Or maybe he was not talkative because he simply didn't understand Danish? It's not that easy for a Swede to comprehend :) Anyway, he wouldn't be the first one to plug in a Volvo at a supercharger in Sweden

One theory is that the Norwegian UMC is not checking for ground faults like the "rest of Europe" UMC does, and therefore is a little bit less safe to use, but still, if the Norwegian is deemed safe enough I'd easly take that one instead, as mine didn't work for me when trying to charge in Bodø...
