Good plan, and then the buyers from 25K to 50K who purchased from 90 to 180 days ago would scream, why did they leave me out? This ends up being every Model S ever sold should have had the wiring harness configured so everybody could have AP2. And don't think it would end there. Every Roadster...

Is the escape system that was tested last year (?) only for the manned Dragon capsule? The payload sat there for some measurable time before toppling to the ground. It appeared to me that an escape system might have saved the payload.

This little blurb illustrates the range of people who are "nuts" about Tesla. Not long after I got my Model S in mid-2013, I was stopped at a red light on a street that has 4 lanes of traffic in each direction. Trudging along the crosswalk was a lady, pushing a stroller, holding hands with a...

It hurts when I do that. Stop doing that!

Is it possible to have the 1st stage continue to boost enough so one orbit could be made and then land at the start of the second orbit? Or, does that take even more fuel than trying to return right after the launch?

My Model S was broken into while parked at a trail head a couple of years ago. Rear passenger window broken. Took a gym bag of dirty clothing and a Tesla cap. Paint scratches from the sheet of glass the worse issue. That and I miss my cap!

There is a thread on this forum that described a curbside charging station installed by an individual for his Model S. He showed pictures of his installation. I don't recall if he had to deal with permits, etc. I did a quick search but did not find the thread. Perhaps someone whose memory is...

When I first read the report of them taking down the extension metal works, I assumed it was to use the material in the second floor addition. My thought was that they used that material because the actual material for the second floor wasn't scheduled in for some time. Of course, it was...

EM went to Russia to see if he could buy ICBMs. Perhaps he should go back to see about surplus aircraft carriers?

I believe if the hatch is left open too long, it loses it's auto-close capability, like the doors do sometimes. Going through the manual closing should reset it.

I know, since I didn't get a picture it didn't happen...but, a couple of days ago, I attended a Cubs spring training game in Mesa. I pulled into the reserved lot to park and the next car to park along side me was a duplicate to my multi-red Model S. The Ho Ho Kam parking attendents were...

Nice. This could be the definitive answer to the ICEing of Superchargers.

I wonder how far offshore the landing attempt will be? I'd like to go see the launch, but would be even more interested if the landing attempt could be seen real time. Any info?

I probably misspoke about Timberline. I charged there with a 50 amp connection some year and a half ago. The owner wanted to install a Tesla connection and I turned him on to the Destination charging crew. I was copied on an email between the owner and the Tesla folks. I haven't been back...
