Nice. I wouldn't change them.

Not needed.

I think the Tesla recommendation is at least 18" above the floor, so higher is ok. I don't want to bend over each time I plug in, so I mounted my outlet at about my elbow height. It has worked quite well.

If it is true, it is an interesting development. I wonder if this relates to Elon's Twitter last week about putting his money where his mouth is. Equip the cars with capabilities the consumer hasn't paid for yet based on your confidence that they will like the cars and will want to upgrade. I...

Another about face by Tesla. Now I'm supposed to have my car in about a week. I'm glad I went ahead and sold my current car. I signed up for delivery at the service center, but I was just told that they are so backed up on deliveries that my only option is to have it delivered to my house. I...

They let me upgrade mine, and they held to pre-increase pricing.

I received an email last week from Tesla and was told to expect my car in Denver in 8 days! That set off a mad scramble to sell a car, install 14-50, arrange financing, and clean out the garage. I had been expecting a 30 day notice. 2 days later I received another email from Tesla: "it’s...

I moved from a 40 to a 60. No problem.

Awaiting my pearl white, pano, tech, 60kw car. @Steamboat: Depending on your configuration and how you drive, Steamboat should be within range. You actually don't need the range to get to Steamboat, just the top of Rabbit Ears Pass. After that it will be one long regen in to town! There...

My photos weren't very flattering to the surroundings, I'm afraid. I was more interested in getting a record of all the cars. It is a central location. Yes, there were a lot of dark colors. Mostly grey, but there was a black, a dark blue, and a brown; and of course the pearl white.

I was driving past the Denver Service Center today when I spotted 11 brand new Model S looking like they had just been unloaded off the truck. There are going to be some happy people in Denver, very soon. The group included a pearl white, the color I've ordered, which I had never seen in the...

You can be quite confident that every major car manufacturer has, or soon will, tear these things apart to see how they work. Next will be the hot rod and performance folks. If Tesla sells enough of them, you can also expect that there will be an aftermarket develop for replacement and upgrade...

Usually most US cars have a slight left pull bias to counteract the crown in the road.

Also consider the possibility that in 8 years there might be a viable aftermarket supply for battery packs. It wouldn't surprise me.

I just received my finalize email. #7783.
