    Service in Spokane, WA

    I expect to get my new S around the end of December as well. When the question of whet her to pick it up in Bellvue or have it delivered to my home in Addy, I opted for delivery in Stevens County. To pick the car up in Bellvue would add more than $2500 to the cost of the licence due to the...

    WA State Sales Tax on Ludicrous Retrofit

    i got a positive ruling from the Seattle SC on the sales tax exemption for the retrofit. Now it is just the matter of when the parts will be available and when will they have service techs trained.

    WA State Sales Tax on Ludicrous Retrofit

    Yes. It doesn't say that the exemption doesn't apply when the battery is bought with the vehicle. I think you definitely have a good argument. Of course if the dealer had written the sale up on two different invoices, the DOR wouldn't even have that issue. Just to be sure, you could have bought...

    WA State Sales Tax on Ludicrous Retrofit

    The way I read RCW 82.08.816, I believe that the retrofit should qualify as an alteration and improvement in an electric vehicle battery (1)(b).

    First P85D adopters stuck in black hole

    Ahh! that must be 'cause they were waiting to get my silver PD on with yours. Unfortunately mine will be stuck in Seattle unless they can find a trucker trying to get back to Spokane before Christmas.

    Tracking P85D delivery thread

    @ Early Adapter I notice that the spread sheet shows your delivery date as 12/22. Did the DS, Andrew is mine, give you that date? My car was finished one day after yours and I have not yet heard a delivery date.

    Pacific NW - Superchargers

    Thanks for the direction JohnMc. I knew about the site but not how to update it. I emailed a copy of the permit. BTW, I stopped by on Sunday with the idea of seeing if there was any construction activity. I had heard it was going to be sited near the Best Western. I didn't see anything except...

    Ellensburg, WA Model S/Roadster HPC Adapter

    That sounds like an excellent plan, Tom! Without that HPC I'd have to spend twice as much time charging up under the wind farm and with no restaurants.

    Supercharger - Ellensburg, WA

    This is both good news and bad. It looks like the city fathers are going to use this event as an excuse to remove the Roadster HPC from the 3rd and Main location. Perhaps the increased demand caused by the addition of the MS adapter raised their power bill too much. Roadster trips between...

    Pacific NW - Superchargers

    According to the minutes of the Ellensburg Utility committee meeting (10-8-13), the Superchargers will be installed at the Holiday Inn Express. They also have decided to pull the current Roadster HPC out and put it into surplus by the end of the year or whenever the SC is operational. That...
