The Ellesworth chargers are down(8/31). Anyone know how temporary this is?

It has never been free, there is a 1200 destination charge already. And the sales tax is just a PITA as Vermont credits the tax already paid. I'd rather the tax go to my state.

Actually it is a Tesla Issue. They are eliminating delivery in states that they choose to not have a presence in. Vermont would love to have a Tesla store. On top of that, there is already a delivery charge in the pricing, and that was how my 3 ad my son's Y were delivered.

So a Vermonter here. I just ordered a model Y last week. I thought there must have been a mistake somehow as the only way I could get the car was to pick it up in Paramus NJ. I sure didn't have to do that for my Model 3. I called Tesla and they said it must be a mistake and to let the order...

Same on both counts

This had nothing to do with the demographics of Lawrence. Andover and North Andover were 3 miles from the site, definitely the demographic. When Lyon Waugh bought the dealership franchise they ran it in the Lawrence facility for a few years. They were forced to relocate to Nashua when Audi USA...

It just got really expensive (relatively) to supercharge. It has about doubled my effective kWH pricing.

No I have a dual motor, but I live at 2150' at the end of a super steep mile long unpaved road. (and I have a dedicated set of aero's w/snows.) My point is, if your commute is that short, range wont be a daily concern.And when road tripping, you have superchargers. Before I bought the car I was...

Just get the car, the sooner the better and you will not be disappointed. Get a second set of wheels with snows, it is basically free considering you use up x% of a tire in y miles driven. As for the battery and driving, the magic of Tesla (and what I didn't realize when I bought mine) is a...

Anyone else around here enjoying the warm weather for their battery?

I've probably got it backwards. When I last paid attention a year ago I saw that Tesla was trying to hire service techs in the North Shore. With Peabody appearing to be a showroom, I just assumed Beverly would have been service plus SC? It had to be Peabody for service

any news on Beverly Service?

No, not concerned, at all. Just make sure the door bottom seals are mounted above the drain hole. Dont worry, the flap still seals. Most instruction videos don't show this correctly. This and mudflaps are the best things I've done to my 3. (I live on a dirt road in VT)

Probably piling on here, but winter tires are for winter, not just snow. Better traction in cold in addition to snow. X-Ices are great (Nokian ran out of tires last year in Model 3 size or I would have purchased those out of habit). But one more thing to consider. Snow tires end up being a wash...

Burlington is a great town, but that parking lot can be a mess and hard to get in and out of. Take advantage of the SC in Berlin, VT on your way. Super convenient. I find that is about as far as I get with my model3 when heading from BOS. You won't need to charge again till you are on your way back.
