The Tesla driver also passed this sign complete with a 45mph speed warning of the lane shift a full 17 seconds before it happened. Another case of inattention and using Autopilot where it shouldn't be used. The full video is here.

Just caught this scene of a non-AWD Tesla Model S getting some low tech help in the snow. Not sure where.

Personally, I would have gone with "The Phoenix", but Dolores is good too.

Simply beautiful. I've said for a couple of years now that Tesla should offer an all glass roof option along with the pano roof, but I envisioned a glass panel that just replaced the pano since the hole was already there, and kept the roof cross member for strength. This begs the question...

According to Motor Trend, it was 16 Fisker Karmas that were burned and destroyed when they were submerged by Hurricane Sandy.

There was the Model X prototype that was featured in the show "Extant" back in July 2014.

That's why I put "self driving" in quotes. I just thought it was funny because of all the potential problems I've read about with autonomous cars (from mostly uninformed armchair commentators on other sites), "running away" from it's owner had never been mentioned before now. BTW, there is a...

It's not exactly a Tesla, and it's probably good that it's not, but it shows a potential unforeseen problem with autonomous, self driving cars. In Sunday's "The Last Man on Earth", one of the characters pulls up in a "self driving" BMW i8...which promptly drives away on it's own when she got...

The one at the Roundhouse is still working as of yesterday (10/22/2016) according to this post. It's not on Tesla's official list however. I seem to remember that the "two brothers" who own The Roundhouse each owned a Tesla back when it was put in. I don't know if that is still the case or...

Here's the one in North Aurora, half of it anyway. I had a friend who lives up there snap a picture of it today. He also verified the one at the Two Brothers Roundhouse is still there, physically anyway.

The temp superchargers at Two Brother's are still there, physically, but have been removed from Tesla's supercharger list/map. I asked my friend Rick, who lives right down the street, to snap a pic the next time he went by, which he did today. And here are the new Superchargers (well, half...

Congratulations!!

My Dad always used to say "The first 90% of a job takes 10% of the time. The last 10% of the job takes 90% of the time."

That North Aurora one is certainly handier for traffic on the East-West Ronald Reagan Tollway (I-88) than the one at the Roundhouse. As for the ones at the Roundhouse I had heard that back when that one was installed, it was mainly because the two brothers who owned the Roundhouse both owned...

With the superior range of Teslas, and the large number of conveniently placed Superchargers spread out around the country, that's really not an issue anymore. :cool:
