There are signs up now stating "Authorized Use Only"... I'm quite sure these are just meant for the showroom and not for general public. I know sometimes the showrooms will let you charge if they aren't using it..but that's case by case and requires you to park and go ask anyway. Supercharger...

I'm still not seeing the permit on supercharge.info so I also submitted today too. Christmas in Washington! Bellevue, Issaquah, Lynnwood, Vancouver. Awesome.

This is so spectacular. Christmas coming early for Washington now. We have permits and, for a couple..construction... now for Issaquah, Lynnwood, Bellevue, and Vancouver

AAA Washington announced a mobile electric car charging service a few years ago. However, not sure if this is still offered as they don't seem to say anything on the website now. Out of juice? AAA debuts Washington roadside charging service for electric cars

Thanks OP. I will say it was more accurate with just basic settings than evtripplanner was even with a lot of fiddling. I mapped my recent trip from Seattle to Seaside in both tools. Although evtripplanner was a little more accurate given temp settings and tweaking, I had to discover a lot of...

Hi from Seattle to Redmond! I'm not understanding your post... do you mean that the navi was very accurate, enough to swear by? Or that it was very inaccurate and made you swear? ;-)

That's not our experience, putting the top strap up and over next to the headrest, as indicated in the manual, works great for ours (Orbit). Tension it down and it stays put quite nicely.

I've noticed the same. Music is far louder outside my X as compared to the Audi Q7 (with regular speakers, not the fancy ones mentioned earlier in the post). Frankly I feel the same about road noise inside the car, for a $90k vehicle the road noise is pretty loud. In comparison the Q7 sounds...

I've seen this type of rationalization before, but nobody has any idea what your state of charge is, regardless whether you have a short or long range EV. Nobody should be touching other people's cars/cables or taking it upon themselves to determine whether someone "deserves" a charge. If your...

My wintertime range hit is about -25% (30's and 40's in hilly Seattle)

Wow it looks like people had a lot of varied experience. I had a very good one... our front passenger latch failed but was able to hold the door closed enough to drive (warnings going off but door stayed shut). Drove to the SC in Seattle, they took it in immediately and had it fixed in 45...

Yes, verrrry slow to ramp up the wipers even on second sensitivity. I find myself manually triggering it all the time if not on constant wipe. The problem (in my unscientific experience) seems to be that it just takes a very long time to notice the rain level. Almost as though the "rain...

Good point, I hadn't thought of all that hot metal keeping my toesies toasty :-)

Does everyone else's liftgate just craaaaawwll upward? Seriously it seems like it's just groaning and straining to get that back end up. SC looked at it and tweaked a little but it still is slow as crap.

For my Model X 75 I found the Model S 90D 21" to be pretty accurate with a payload of 500. Frankly the temp settings don't make much difference.
