I think the Prius, Chevy Bolt, BMW-i, & Porsche-Taycan forums have got nothin on us! Thank you all for your insights! I have learned more useful things about Covid-19 and the medical & societal implications here than anywhere else. You clinical folks have gathered the data and have shared it...

Wow the Solar Canopy with the stone work at the Barstow SC is really nice, just what I hoped to see ever since we've been speculating about the huge footings. Cottonwood and Others; as to the WAG of 6-10X the amount of Solar Panels needed to be grid neutral, not to worry, the grid does not...

Finally!!! the beautiful cantilevered solar canopy arrives! This is the design just as we expected based on the very large footings with all those huge bolts. Can't wait to hear a first hand report of how it "sounds" during a high wind storm. Looks very elegant. More photos please!

The tree Blue dots I show in southern CA; HB/Irvine/CM, Oceanside, & San Diego, are the exact centers of the two big fuzzy red dots that run into one another, and the big fuzzy dot for San Diego on the Tesla map. My small Blue dots are exactly where Tesla put their big fuzzy red ones. The issue...

If you are headed up from the South Bay (San Jose, Los Gatos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Gilroy), to drive to Napa & Calistoga, and make a tour of some wineries along the Silverado Trail, you have to find a Blink, a NEMA14-50, or a HPWC for a few hours to make it home or back to the Fremont SC...

Devlin Rd & Airport Blvd area would be a great spot (except maybe current food & shops) as it is on the way to Napa & Calistoga weather you are headed north on I-80 & take the Hwy 29 exit (uhg - lots of lights) or wait and take the Hwy 12 exit. If you are headed north on I-680, take I-80East for...

When making the CA Supercharger Map yesterday, I used the Tesla Website Map as of Yesterday, with the slide pushed all the way to the right to 2015. On Tesla's Map, the fuzzy red dots are so big they obliterate what is underneath on the purposefully faded map. Placing a very small black dot in...

I too was always frustrated by the big fuzzy red dots on the Teslamotors.com Supercharger website covering a faded out map. So I went to the end of the time scale to get the most red dots possible, and snapped a screen shot. I put the jpg in PowerPoint, and then placed small black dots in the...

That's absolutely brilliant! Those LED Lamps are putting out fantastic coverage. Much safer for those lonely nights (unless you are trying to sleep...). I replaced my front and back yard porch 40W night lamps with 4.5W LEDs, and the LEDs are putting out a lot more light for way less energy...

The obsession is not necessarily the cup holder, but the leather and carpeting that needs protection. The cup holder can also hold phones and small loose items while moving about. And let's not forget, sitting in the back seat for a long trip with no arm rest, or a storage compartment for stuff...

Tesla California already designed it. That is a Tesla made prototype of a rear seat center console armrest-lid-storage-cup-holder design, in matching leather, in the photos. Enough people simply need to convince Tesla Gear & Accessories Marketing to make it.

Hello Barstowian Chargers! Now that Primm (with new fancy LED street lamps) is up and running, how is the throughput? Do you notice an improved charging experience with the new battery banks? Getting full rapid charges on all 8 positions all the time? Ever have to wait for an open spot? Wait for...

Wow, that sounds very efficient, modern and stylish - especially with the lit-up Tesla Chargers themselves. If someone could get a nice night photo showing all the glow, that would be great. Thanks.

True I would prefer a seat back fold down solution as so many luxury sedans have done. I was VERY disappointed Tesla gave no amenities to the "two" back seat passengers. Four adults going to lunch, dinner, or a show I would think is the most common full load for such a luxury sedan, and the...

Tesla had this prototype Center Rear Console in the Menlo Park Showroom a couple years ago. I wish they had put it into production. It was fastened in place (hidden) with the center seat belt.
