    List of Mobile Detail Car Detail Services - North Dallas Area

    David took a few pictures the day my car was detailed and posted on his web site - http://www.divinedetailandwash.com. I think that would be the most helpful (since the weather has been awful since that time).

    List of Mobile Detail Car Detail Services - North Dallas Area

    It took me a while to find a detail person in Frisco (also includes McKinney, Plano, Allen, and other North Dallas suburbs). The other mobile detail services I tried were no shows for the scheduled appointments. I tried to find an existing thread to post this information (I gave up after...

    Garage Wiring Fire

    I need to add that I did read on this forum that the 14-50 outlet was not engineered to have the cables pugged and unplugged (a warning from an electrician) on a daily basis. I have two UMC cables. One is in the car (never used) and one is permanently mounted in the garage. The garage UMC with...

    Garage Wiring Fire

    I have been reading the forums since April 2011 and have not read that the UMC is an emergency item. If that was true I would be shocked! I use my UMC everyday but usually charge at or below 15 amps. When I am on vacation it is set at 5 amps. Almost no cable or connector warmth at 5-15 amps.

    Do you carry your Mobile Connector with you when ever you leave the house?

    Before receiving the RED car, I bought a second UMC and installed in my garage. The original UMC has never been used. I guess I am not a spur of the moment take a long trip without my cord kind of guy.

    Console and dash form giant logo

    I did a google for console pictures. And yes if you are really creative it does look like a big Tesla T. I selected gray leather (since that is what I see in mine).

    "Tesla S Isn't A Luxury Car"

    I liked the article. Especially the last paragraph. The facts about my Tesla are impressive enough. I do not like having to defend the stretched facts (it only confuses the reporters and civilians who have actually read Tesla articles and looked at the Tesla web site).

    TXU Free Nights Electricity Plan

    More rather than less I live in Frisco, TX where Coserv provides the electricity ($.09/kw). I talked to Coserv about their time of use plan. They strongly discouraged me and told me I would probably pay more rather less most of the time. I am glad I do not have to play the "when do I charge game".

    Tesla S - Daily Driver or Second Car?

    Daily Driver - Absolutely It is really painful to drive the back up ICE car (the 2nd car does not speed up fast enough and does not slow down fast enough). Even if I had not planned to drive it every day I would make up reasons that I needed to drive the Tesla. My 2nd car is really the 3rd or...

    Electricity Usage

    Averaging about $2.20/day for electricity during first two months I have been tracking my electricity usage in a spreadsheet and have seen $65 (30 days) and $70 (32 days) monthly increases compared to last year's electricity bills. I also pay about 9 cents/kWh with 5.25% tax (Frisco, TX). I am...

    Navigation bug when going reverse

    One Gear(?) Doesn't the Model S have only one gear? The difference between drive and reverse is based on reversing the DC current on the motor(?). Simple even in reverse!
