E7 was good, I missed it since I wanted E1 to run A/C in the day. Two electric cars later I switched to E6 last year. I also see the E6 is stopped in March for newcomers so I will stick with it. I may just increase panels but I cannot get a good answer whether I am eligible for the Federal 30%...

That makes sense, I would have thought I would see many small EVs. My model S is 4 inches wider and 10in longer than my old BMW X5. I think your model S here must also stand out as a big car. I do use public transport which today was very very crowded and compressed . I went from Shinjuku to...

I think it's interesting the tools you can use to encourage people to buy certain things. There's no reason for example why owners of solar panels shouldn't be allowed to have all their cars in the carpool lane if the state decides. In the bayarea having the carpool lanes full of single occupant...

Now you come to mention it, I have been in Tokyo Japan a week now and not seen a single Tesla. In Beijing in December I saw a few every day. I also haven't seen any electric and only a few hybrids.

At my 1 year service they switched the battery and gave me a spare to fit myself in the spare fob. I thought that was a nice touch

I am happy with 3G, I did find that an older Tesla S of a guy I work with has the slow loading maps, tiles appearing. I thought that was more the speed of the processors than the reception. Does speedtest etc work on that Tesla browser so we can check the speed? Or did anyone use something else...

I charge all the time with J1772, as everyone says I have the fob so the car unlocks, hold the j1772 left hand, press the button, it will release. Pull it all out together. Is your Fob battery good. I just had to replace mine after a year.

Not for me they didn't, I am not even sure how they would. You are taken to a car rental place and then deal with them. The mix up over who pays for the rental was sorted out for me and Tesla did pay.

I got a Tesla the first time S85, the second was a Lincoln SUV with a 0-60 time of 2 seconds (only when driven off a cliff) . After 3 days I got a call from Enterprise telling me they would charge me 2 days for my one day rental . I also found at the time a lot of upselling of Enterprise...

The handles will retract and give the impression it is locked, but the car itself will not lock itself. I think the handles retracting is what is saving most of us.

You are right, WAZE to a lot of the blame but it's not all them Waze, Similar Apps Blamed for Snarling Traffic in Los Gatos | NBC Bay Area

I use WAZE, it's impressive. "watch out for car at the side of the road" and there it is. As a resident of a small town, WAZE has made our lives a complete misery in the summer. It diverts all the beach freeway traffic onto surface streets until the town is at complete gridlock. It got so bad...

Just push the handle and it will present .

I know, that's why I accidentally left it open. Since I was next to the car , the phone connected to the bluetooth. It knew I walked away.

I am so used to walk away locking , I just walk away. The other day I went to the car, but forgot the key in the office. I opened it via the iphone app and got what I needed from the car. When I came back I realised the handles were retracted but the car was open. I guess autolock doesn't work...
