+1 How did I go a year without knowing this? What a great forum!

Great thread - I didn't realize until today that you could enter Lat/Long coords into the Tesla Nav, very cool - be handy for getting to the parking areas! Just for kicks, I'll let you in on a cache I'm working on, since few of you will probably be caching up here in northern Minnesota. It will...

New fact for the day - thanks FlasherZ!

I have a followup question on this - I just got my CHAdeMO and have not used it yet, but plan to this weekend out of town. Does it help to ratchet your charging amps down to prevent overheating? That might defeat the purpose of a fast charger, but perhaps there's a happy medium at some amp...

+1 I think I have a pretty normal Tesla acceleration off the light, but am surprised how quickly those cars behind me get really tiny :)

Those are gunmetal, they are a little darker than I thought they'd be. My rationale for getting new rims with the missus was that it's better for the tires to not be switching rims (think I read that here), so I'm gonna have to go back to the OEMs in a couple weeks. The car is silver.

Here's a picture from this morning, downtown Duluth. I bought Rials with compatible sensors and X-Ice snow tires from Tirerack - came all assembled so I just had to have them put on. I love bad-ass look of the rims, now I don't want to take them off to go back to the OEMs and summer tires! No...

Great, thanks Scothawk! That means I could get to the Twin Cities and back in a day!

Hey Scothawk, I remember that we ordered and got our cars just about the same time - when did you order your CHAdeMO adapter and how long did it take to get it? I got on the waitlist a couple weeks ago and got an email reply "Thanks for your order, we have no idea how long this will take" (not...

Yes, I do that all the time. Power comes on at 11:30, charging starts 11:35, works great.

I've had my "Low Tire Pressure" warning wink on and off a few times since it's gotten cold - they are at 42 warm, I'll get them up to 45. I've also seen "Regenerative Braking Disabled" a lot lately.

Thanks Jerry, that's all I'd want it to do. Like the oil heater in my '82 Mustang...

Would plugging into 110V help to warm the battery? (after full charge received). My 220 is only active between 11 PM and 7 AM, but I could plug into a regular outlet, wondering if that would help.

Or just get a frunk cat...

Just adding to this community's wishes for a speedy recovery - your Tesla did what it had to do to protect you and your family. Best wishes - and think up a good new Username! Also, I'm quite happy with textile seats, they are quite comfy and seem like they will wear well . Good luck!
