Trip completed. I left Sarasota, stopped at Ft. Myers to charge up, made it to Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, plugged in there. But that charger is dreadfully slow, only 10mph! Also, they charge a lot for this service $40 to Valet the car (even though you have to do it yourself) and...

I'm certainly up for a meet, greet, and inspection. Might be tough with t-Day and me headed to Miami next weekend for my first long distance trip. Anyhow, Driving Expressions removed my bad tint, and installed new tint, which I'm happy with. They were great people, down on 41 across from the...

PCA charged me $250 for the windshield. Telsa SC would not do anything dark enough on the side and back, so I went to PCA. 3M rejected any claim, saying it must be - get this - a defective windshield. PCA then told me to jump in a lake after that. VISA is currently helping me recoup my...

NigelM, this certainly isn't your bad, so no worries. Pete, thank you and good talking with you. Now I just need to find someone local to remove the tint and I'll be done with it. And...I can't find anyone to do that! I will keep trying but this is getting frustrating, how hard can it be just...

They installed 3M Crystalline on my windshield, with large patches that look like smeared Vaseline, redid it 3 weeks later but had similar smeared patches, and refuse to issue even a partial refund. It's now in dispute with my credit card company, and I'm driving with an impaired windshield...

Well, I just found my detailer, I guess! I live not too far from your shop, Pete. Marty

I noticed what the temp is set to and what it's reading on my Telsa app can be 5-8 degrees apart, the app reading higher, always. BTW I don't have dual chargers but since my family lives by Lincoln Rd. I know it well and can easily take my time charging almost anywhere near there. The people...

Thank you both. Lincoln Rd said no prob using their charger, just call them to make an appt. Also Whole Foods and a nearby garage has charging stations, too. So, it's road trip time.

Ok, maybe that won't work. I see there's a Tesla store on Lincoln Rd, wouldn't I be able to charge there, in the rear?

Thanks Larry. Yep, no way I'm doing an avg of 64 but I get the idea. I think I'll charge in FM, then wherever I stay in Miami Beach I will at least find a regular 110 to plug into overnight, giving me back 40 miles or so to get me back to FM. At least, in theory, that should work. Hard for...

Trip completed: Sarasota to Miami Beach - roundtrip. In my 85. Any suggestions? I guess I can stop at Ft. Myers SC but will I be able to get from there to Miami Beach, and back again to Ft. Myers?

Someone please tell Tesla that unlocking the driver's door only is a simple but brilliant safety feature.
