We were going to head up to Rexburg early in the morning, but since it will probably be a gong show up there, we may just hang out around the Idaho Falls SpC and then drive south like a bat out of hell after the event (translation: 2mph expected). For those traveling up I-15, be aware that...

Mine sounds like a jet taking off anywhere in warm weather (you hear it clear across a large parking lot), and supercharging is pretty slow <60kW everywhere I go (sometimes I get lucky). But I wouldn't say it's super loud in mild (70s) weather, so not sure if mine is hooked up right or not.

Not Ellensburg, but just made a trip from Portland, OR to northern Utah yesterday and pretty much every single supercharger on the way was slow. I got lucky in Boise, but everywhere else took 3 stalls to finally get something that would stick in the 90kW range at mid-SoC, but there was one that...

Ours has done this for maybe around 9 months. We haven't bothered to take it in to service yet, but it's pretty annoying and it doesn't matter what the temperature is as it will fail 100% of the time. Adjusting the pads hasn't worked, and it looks like the pinch sensor on the driver side at the...

Exactly the same for us.

From my experience hauling a parachute, also known as a U-Haul box trailer, from Oregon to Utah you can probably expect about half of normal range. If you slow down a lot and have a shorter trailer you should get some of that range back.

Yeah, we plan to drive up to Rexburg that morning, unless weather patterns force us to head a different direction.

I'd love to go. I referred 6 buyers in that period. But unfortunately clicking the RSVP link in the email just gets me this: "Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, this event is private and for invited guests only. If this invitation was forwarded to you by a guest, please kindly ask...

At the Boise SpC last Thursday, I was the only one there and outdoor temp was 58F and initial SoC was about 12%. First two stalls I tried were very erratic with the kW bouncing all over the place sometimes seeming to restart from 0. Moved over to the third stall at around 39% SoC and was getting...

I have towed a number of parachutes, er I mean box trailers with an XP100D and it wasn't uncommon to be in the 800Wh/mi range. On one leg with outdoor temperature around 55F and a little elevation gain, I went from 98% to 1% even drafting behind a semi for a fair portion of the leg before I lost...

Last period, I had 10 referrals, but 4 cancellations so I missed out on the Powerwall because I couldn't replace the cancellations. What was really annoying though is one guy placed and cancelled 3 orders with 2 of them on the same day.

We went with the P100D because the 100D didn't yet exist and we needed the range. I started by taking some winter weather scenarios and calculated a common round trip we'd be making often and on those cold days which happen a lot around here, there just wasn't enough buffer left over with a 90D...

Our video of it tonight for the neighbors.

Any updates on the Rocky Mtn Power ordeal? Also, we moved into Cache Valley this Monday and it only took until Thursday to spot another Tesla here, a white refreshed Model S P90D at the Olive Garden. I was surprised to see another so soon out here.

Average speed I believe is 62.5mph, for most of the way from the Dalles until the Boardman rest area I was drafting behind a truck at I believe 71. I was using various following distances, but I think I was at 4 most of the time. These were essentially new tires and I'm not sure how long they...
