At first I thought the big Volvo SUV in the background of the above pic was ICEing us, but he/she was plugged in to the J1772. We are not alone. It was fun sitting in a Model X and telling a potential buyer that almost all of the things I worried about owning a Tesla did not come true.

Yes, we just returned from one in Stevenson, WA USA (Skamania Lodge). We met a really nice bunch of people that we hope to see again. The Tesla employees were great. There were over 15 Teslas in attendance. The highlight for me was moving my car so Bonnie could charge her Roadster. Go to a...

12:17 pm Charged to 242. I was the only one here. Couple of people came over to Talk Tesla.

Rob, you and Milli are in my prayers. The important question is, "What color will the next one be?" :love:

Brown is not my favorite car color, but I have seen this one in my home town and it is really special. Lot's of wow factor there. Should be an easy sale Rob.

What is it about 85D's. Mine got rear ended while I was sitting in it. Best advice I got was to go to a Tesla Certified Body Shop. :mad:

Look who was in Pendleton a few days ago. Shhh SShhhh, he's sleeping in there. Wish I could have met him.

I'm not sure if it was an update or something my SC did on a recent visit, but my #6 follow distance is now the old #7. The new #7 gives more distance to the followed vehicle than ever before and therefore more time to react at higher speeds. I also get a smoother acceleration on resume. I...

There seems to be a theme here, the lady who banged into me (pic above) was especially apologetic because it was a new Tesla. While I don't think I was a complete jerk, I certainly was not as much of a "Tesla Gentleman" as Pete. I will do better next time. :smile:

"Make sure you stick with a Tesla certified shop, and check things such as parking sensors, etc." Great advice. My body shop guy just returned from Fremont training. Made me feel better knowing the person I was talking to had seen what is behind the bumper of my car before and knew what to...

What a hassle! Here is my 3 month old 85D. Parked in Egypt to avoid dings and she backed right into me. No one hurt, we are lucky.

Thanks Skyhawk, great pics, I will be going by on Sept 6 also to take a look.
