Great, just in time for me to drive my Model 3 from Denver to Grinnell for my college reunion next week. Back in 1974 when this was the location of a Skelly's truck stop, and I was sitting in a booth at 2 am eating some greasy crap, I wonder what I would have thought if I had a window to the...

You are absolutely right, but I'm not sure that's the end of the story. We are overbuilt to the maximum allowed by the utility, which is 125% of prior year's usage. My legislatively mandated options are: (a) bank wattage credits or (b) get paid pennies on the dollars ( compared to what...

Here's a report from Colorado, which has mandated net metering. I'm on my third year with solar cells and second year with a Model 3. Bottom line - during the entire time, I've not had one month where I consumed more electricity than we produced. Even with driving the Tesla every day and...

The kid was on the wrong side of the street facing head on to another car, then pulled into the lane going in the wrong direction. Is there any defense for that?

I too was hit by a newly licensed teenager. I'm comparing my repair experience with an M3 to your X, so this is a little bit of apples and oranges, but the two things that blew my mind were the cost of the repair and the wait time to get it all done - it took me 60 days to get the car into the...

Based on my experience with repair time, this is a valid fear. My bumper was dented and the car ended up in the shop for 5 weeks awaiting parts.

That's a good idea!

Unfortunately, no Tesla owned body shops in Colorado....

Someone side swiped the drivers side rear bumper of my Model 3 while I was parked. Most of the damage is cosmetic and can be repaired, but apparently there are $202 of replacement parts needed: the outer side and outer left rear parking sensor, and a bracket for the bumper. The rest is all...

sorry, I was misinformed. This wasn't so obvious 6 weeks ago.

I was eating at the sandwich shop across the street from the old elementary school around March 1. There was a big solar array going up in the northwest corner but it looked like they were installing superchargers right next to it. The tech working on site confirmed that but he may not know...

I was eating lunch across the street and saw a supercharger under construction here: Google Maps There is a big solar panel array going in but one of the techs told me they were also installing superchargers, and that is sure how it looked to me.

Yep, you got it. Didn't know they had two Tesla charging stations.

Great point. I was being bombarded with bugs. The insect kind.
