    Dogs in a Model S??

    So far, not a problem. I do intend to strap it to the seat back latch points, but haven't figured out the best way to do that yet. Hence the foam mentioned in my previous reply.

    Dogs in a Model S??

    Pieces of foam to protect the window. There's only about a cm between the crate and the glass. If I hit a bump or something I don't want the hard metal corner hitting the glass. Instead the foam should cushion the hit. I hope.

    Dogs in a Model S??

    Aluminum dog crate for an aluminum car It’s taken a while (a very long while) but I finished my custom aluminum dog crate for our Model S. We got our MS in June 2013. One of the requirements was that it hold a crate for my German Shepherd Dog. I don’t like driving around with a dog loose in...

    Superchargers in Northern California (location speculation)

    When I drove by on Thursday (Dec 12) they were still waiting on PG&E to install the transformer. I didn't stop but everything else looks done. The Gilroy expansion waited on PG&E for weeks.

    Superchargers in Northern California (location speculation)

    I thought I had spotted you yesterday at Amici's Pizza, but the driver of the white MS wasn't you. Just how many MSs are there in Vacaville?

    MA - legislative hearing on anti-Tesla bill scheduled in November - let's show up!

    CalDreamin is absolutely correct. It may be even more important to visit your state representative before the public hearing than it is to attend the hearing itself. Yes, having a good crowd at the hearing is important, but unfortunately it is not unlikely that the reps have made up their minds...

    Wireless front parking camera with monitor for front bumper protection

    I think the camera module ken830 is referring to is part of the camera itself. At least based on my conversation with the tech support guy and from looking at the various datasheets and brochures.

    Wireless front parking camera with monitor for front bumper protection

    Camera can flip image I contacted tech support at a manufacturer that produces products using the OV10630 camera. The fellow I spoke with said the camera has a soft switch that controls whether the image is flipped. It is at least theoretically possible to change the setting on that soft...
