I bought my CPO P85+ last year. It's been a fantastic experience. The suspension is more compliant over rough roads than my Formula Firebird with WS6 suspension. Yet it handles amazingly! The acceleration is phenomenal. It's just a blast to drive.

Congrats on your P100D Model X @DillyBop. Wow! On the way down, we hit Wytheville at lunchtime, ate at Shoney's, and had charged to 100%, or at least close, by the time we finished. No problem at all making it to Knoxville. I generally drive at speed limit +5 or 10 and I kept the air...

@Lanny this is great work! Is there anything I, as a Maryland resident, can do to help? Write a letter, etc?

I'd also suggest that you map your trip to your cottage with evtripplanner.com. You may find that the range you need in "rated miles" is higher or lower than the actual distance to the cabin. That might affect your decision.

This happens to me too. Arbitrary favorites are missing every time I turn on the car. I have to go back to Recently Played to add them again. This seems at least partly correlated with the artwork for a particular favorite not being downloaded. The number and identity of unfavorited items...

Welcome to the forum @apples23 ! For only $4k more not only do you get the larger battery but it's a year newer. I think that fit and finished improved a lot from 2013 to 2014. Also, some nice enhancements were phased in that you might appreciate. And you like the way it looks better...

I asked BGE about it too and the rate differential for daytime rates would have increased our total bill. I drive 30-50 miles per day so I'm not using a lot of energy. I have electric A/C and a gas furnace. I gave BGE feedback that the rate structure made no sense.

Well, I'm just pointing out a possible effect of this policy, I'm not saying it's right or wrong. But I would say that since these people are PAYING for the supercharging, if it is priced correctly, then Tesla will have the resources to build the appropriate infrastructure to ensure there is...

A lot of posts view this policy as a detriment to local charging. I may be in the minority, but it would have the opposite effect on me. If I lived in a place where it was difficult or impossible to install home charging, I'd be more inclined to buy a Tesla now knowing that the existing local...

With a supercharger 40-60 miles away, I agree that you may not need to charge at all, even in a 60. Just charge enough for the round trip at the supercharger. If you do drive around town a lot then PlugShare is an excellent resource to find charging. You can add 18 miles of range in an hour on...

The 400 kWh is annual. So a $55 oil change every year, I guess. I would also easily blow through that amount in travel every year. I probably do 2-3,000 miles of trips per year which will only increase due to how much I enjoy the Tesla. Still, my reaction is that if they do, indeed, use the $...

That's really generous, thanks. Hopefully it won't be necessary the next time we go to Alabama, prob next spring or summer... Our trip: We left Tuscaloosa at almost 100% in my P85+, 258 RM. Only made a quick stop at a rest stop. Arrived at the Chattanooga SuC with 33 RM left, total of 211.3 mi...

Thanks for making it public - it really helped! Pretty cool to find the originator of the charging spot I used here on the forum. :cool:

Yes, I used that charger when we visited Alabama in August. It is in the parking lot behind what I remember was Jimmy Johns but what Google Maps is now showing as Insomnia Cookies. Access from 11th Ave. It took me forever to figure out where this was, the pin in PlugShare is wrong. In this...

I'd say traffic to the Rockville location is tough after about 3 - any other time, even in the AM rush, should be fine. If you want to wait at the SC while they work on your car, there's not much to do where the SC is. Though they'd probably give you a ride to Rockville Town Square where there...
