Well done. I need some pointers, apparently. . . .

Hi, I'm the VP of Tesla Owners NY State and the Niagara Frontier regional organizer. Everyone here, please be advised that leadership at the factory reached out to me on this issue. TESLA CORPORATE IS WELL AWARE OF THE ILLEGAL CHARGING AND SECURITY HAS STARTED TURNING AWAY ANYONE NOT...

Now the goal is 42 seconds. . . .

My strategy is bulk turnovers, with lots of pondering on the groupings, and yes! Down to 0:52 now.

May I ask what ever happened with getting your solar/backup system online? And have you heard anything new about National Grid's stance on the Backup Switch? (I'm also in NYS--thanks.)

Yesterday: 1:21. Continuous improvement. . . .

Trust me, you will want a better adhesive than just super glue. I'd recommend you seal it with a fine bead of gasket sealer or some sort of strong tape. Mobile service reglued mine and it still fell off again. Hence my advice above. Note that if you lose the magnet piece, then an entire charge...

I noticed this week that GF2 has a couple of destination chargers installed in the front lot. (Seems to be "no trespassing" still) Any updates on the Buffalo or Salamanca SpC sitings? The latter seems odd vs. Ellicottville, which may have more amenities. . . . Finally, if anyone else is...

That's a little upsetting to hear, @xrayangiodoc — considering that CLE seems to be a quicker drive than the Pittsburgh area. I nominate Gigafactory 2 for the WNY location. Seems there's enough space, right?!

Thanks, @Joer293 — that's all useful info. Fortunately it's a respected brand (Korean) with a smart power controller. No vampire drain, no i-products at all in the car.

Can anyone verify that the S40 was sold for US$55,000 or less, new? Someone on YouTube is contesting that any Model S ever sold that low. Thanks~ UPDATE: I found via Model S Options & Pricing | Tesla Motors that the 40's starting price is listed there as "49,900 After $7,500 Federal Tax Credit."

I'm still in the last phase of owning "arguably the second safest car in the world" but coincidentally will be returning to the dealership (ugh, what a word) for just that issue, tomorrow. It's to turn off a "Service overdue" message on the annunciator they forgot to check last time. (I bet you...

Anyone interested in some press contact for you and your EV in Niagara wine country, here's a short-notice opportunity. . . . Ontario's Niagara wine region will join Sun Country Highway's Eco Wine Tour series with an introductory tour on Monday, September 14, 2015.

True! But don't forget George Westinghouse—he had the capital to commercialize Nikola's patents. Of course a sticker of him might not be as recognizable. . . . Maybe I should add that I'm a Niagara buff and am glad to point out some historical AC sites still viewable. I've arranged a tour for...
