I just received the notification and did the update to 2022. There are very thin update notes--Several screens worth, but not worth copying. I haven't driven Tessie since the update, so can't comment on the blended regen. I've been getting low tire warnings, so I took care of that, too. 'Sure...

My current Model S MCU was replaced on 4/6/20. When I asked Tesla for a copy of my invoice (which was no longer available on the app or the website) to apply for the recall reimbursement I was told the MCU, not the daughterboard, was the problem. After two visits from Tesla Rangers to determine...

My only experience is with a loaner Model X. (It looked like a Christmas tree as it came down my dirt driveway on a flatbed in the on a dark and rainy night.) What I learned: I wasn't able to open the doors the falcon-wing doors in my garage. 'Just didn't have enough clearance. I loved the idea...

Thanks for your years of hard work, Randy and Jack. From that wonderful Tesla Winery Tour in Chelan fundraiser in the early days to today. You started when the only Tesla Superchargers in Washington State were south of Olympia in Centralia. You have so much to be proud of and we're very...

Great news! That Wild Birds Unlimited is not the one in Gig Harbor, though. It is in Gardiner, between Sequim Bay and Discovery Bay. Not in Gig Harbor. I'd love to do a road trip to check them out. And I'm still trying to promote charging near the mouth of the Columbia River in Washington...

I have had the textile seats for more than two years now and am completely happy with them. To help two couples decide which they wanted to order, I was asked by a local Tesla employee to come to the Seattle Tesla Store so my seats could be seen and tried on in person. I'm confident they'd make...

Now you have me worried! I just found out that 'Tessie' is available again and have requested it. Maybe it would bring more headaches than joy. Good luck. It is amazing that the licensing department can't track down the offending car's driver! Kit

Delightful Kickstarter project and cameo. Good luck! Kit

I'm delighted with your progress on our behalf. I have another location for your consideration: Ilwaco, at the mouth of the Columbia. I should have thought of Sun Country right off, but my mind and body are on vacation. Here's what I posted tonight on teslamotors.com: Friends and I have rented...

This is the last contact I had with the Model S-to-Roadster charger cable, last August on my way to the Jack Anderson's EV Wine Tour fundraiser in Chelan I am the one described as in a chargeless panic. I wouldn't have put it that way--I was just trying to find the cable that Seattle Tesla...

Was I ever in the minority at the Tesla gathering at the LeMay car museum Saturday. Mine was the only Model S out of 8 parked together out front that had a front plate. Tessie stood out like a sore thumb. There were 8 Roadsters--I believe they all had front plates.

@linred. I was the other Tesla owner who couldn't keep quiet. After I talked with my Rep.'s Admin, I chatted with Mr. Habib's Admin. What I'd overheard was so wrong, I was incredulous. I explained what I believe the bill says and what I thought was wrong. He seemed kind of taken aback. (No, I'm...

I'm interested. I think it would be worth posting on the NTOC Googles group and Washington area of the Tesla Motors forum too, at least to start. I'd been away from this forum for a couple of weeks.

I have the black textile seats and like them a lot. It would be nice if they had heaters, but heaters were added after my car was produced. Tessie has almost 9000 miles and is 11 mo. old. I have no regrets. They don't feel cold in cold weather and are more interesting looking in person than...

Great trip report! It was fun to meet you and Maggie in Ellensburg Friday. You're giving me more travel ideas, even with my 60kWh pack. And it will only get easier!
