Thanks for the detailed response. Very helpful. Since it is 9-hours door-to-door, I am exploring staying 1 night in the middle of the drive. I am considering something close to Lake Havasu. If anyone has recommendations for fun half-day things to do near Lake Havasu and lodging. I love to hear...

Anyone has recommendations for good places to visit and spend the night between Pomona and Grand Canyon?

Thanks for tip, I found the Best Western charger info on Plugshare too. I booked that Best Western.

I am planning a road trip from Seattle to Pomona and then to Grand Canyon. I have a few questions and hoping that the forum can help. I have a classic 2012 Model S 85 so only about 230 miles range. Planning 5-day, 4-nights trip from Pomona to Grand Canyon and back. Seems like enough time. Plan...

The Seatac airport attached garage has 110v charging. I don't use it frequently. The last time was maybe a year ago. It was $28 per day. - - - Updated - - - Also, did you try Wally Park? I think they have ev charging. Could be 110 though. See Seattle (Sea-Tac) Airport Parking

Yes, you can bring kids. Just no wine or driving :)

Congratulations!

A reminder that this event is this Saturday. Sign up has been a lower than I expected but hopefully I will see many of you at the event.

I have a fairly low VIN - 14xx, and it works for my car. I just drove in the HOV lane a few minutes ago and I saw the white light flash when I drove under the sensors.

A quick reminder that the Tesla event at Lauren Ashton is in 2 weeks, sign up at here: Tasting & Tunes for TESLA Enthusiasts I like to get feedback from everyone if you like to have talks at the event and if yes, what topics you like covered? Or if you like to give a talk? Just personal...

I think the rear window location is working. I had a charge on day 1 but that was when I had the flex pass mounted higher. Since that first day, I had mounted it lower and there has not been charges since day 2 of tolls taking effect. We drive the toll lanes with the HOV setting almost everyday...

I am not one to sue but would some sort of class action legal action create some pressure to stop the insanity i.e. drivers can JUST call in every time to get a 75 cents credit.

Unfortunately, I too see a charge for the toll for 9/27 so my solution may not be working too. We drive the 405 with HOV mode quite often so I probably will see 3-5 more charges soon. Darn! :mad: I will post if I see more charges.

@Alysashley79: For what's its worth, I was not offended. Just like email, it is difficult to detect "tone" in forum posts. I too am pissed about this whole HOV Toll mess. @breser, the new flex passes transmit actively even when in HOV mode. My understanding is that when your car drives under...

Yes, I was using tape just to get the placement right. Once confirmed, I will use command strips. Although I do wish the flex pass was smaller and sleeker. It is better than the 4 bumper stickers required in California for electric cars in HOV though.
