    Looking for ideal USB drive that does not stick out

    The USB drive for the sentry and dash cam videos in my Y is in the center console compartment just in front of the cup holders. Unfortunately, the two spots to plug the USB drive into are halfway down the wall. If I was to use a normal USB drive, it would stick out a couple of inches. If I was...

    Does it matter which supercharger I use on my 2017 Model S?

    Rocky - thanks for your input. I do realize that charging is much faster and an empty battery and it slows down a bunch once it’s mostly charged.

    Does it matter which supercharger I use on my 2017 Model S?

    UCMNDD, Thanks for your input. I was pretty sure that Tesla support guy was wrong about my car charging as fast as others and I had an idea that I could not take advantage of the 250kw chargers. Regarding the 40 amps setting, does this make a difference when superchareging or does it only make...

    Does it matter which supercharger I use on my 2017 Model S?

    I have a 2017 Model S and I am wondering if my charging speed will be the same at a 250 KW supercharger vs a 150kw or 72kw charger station. Like everyone else I want to charge as quickly as possible and if my charging speed is the same or virtually the same from the 250 KW and 150KW charger...

    Best way to lease a Tesla

    I leased it through Tesla. I did speak to an outside company that will lease cars, but they said their option is typically done when leasing a fleet of cars and if my motivation is to save money then leasing from Tesla is the best option.

    Supercharger - Groveland, CA (7 V2 stalls)

    I'm going to be heading up to Yosemite soon and I'm trying to figure out how busy the Groveland Super Charger is. Does anyone know on the weekends if it is swamped with weekend warriors?

    Best way to lease a Tesla

    I've got a model X on order so going with an inventory car is not an option. The APR of 4.8% through Tesla/US Bank sounds about right. The thing is this is a really high interest rate and that is why I'm trying to see if I can lease the car through a 3rd party bank to get a more competitive...

    Best way to lease a Tesla

    I'm new to leasing. I know you can lease a Tesla directly from them as well as other banks. There are a number of threads about getting loans from banks, but I have not seen any about leasing a Tesla. Any recommendations is greatly welcomed. Also, any feedback why I should not lease outside of...

    Taking a road trip to Yosemite this weekend

    Also note there is an electric car charger in the valley. I forget it's exact location, but it is in the parking lot behind the grocery store. There is some kind of small building in the parking lot. An orange cone blocks the spot. Simply move the cone and charge up. It worked great for us...

    Ideal EV range?

    I've thought about this a number of times. The question is how far do most people drive in a day when going on vacation? If they are going really far then how long would they drive until they want a break? I think going 75-80 mph is a fair speed assumption. For duration 5 hours. This means you...

    Best way to orient suitcases?

    The X has a ton of storage capacity even with the third row up IMO. I'm coming from a Highlander that has a tiny trunk with all row up. I took a trip to Yosemite this summer and was able to fit two large suitcases (the largest size you can check on a plane) in the trunk well. On top those went a...

    SC Alignment Fix Experience - worth doing?

    I had issues with alignment on my car in 4 different places. I took it In to get fixed. It did take a couple of weeks to get the car back because they have to use a 3rd party body shop to do the work, but everything was fixed perfectly. If you decide to bring it in to fix the alignment then ask...
