In terms of convenience, Fremont is a 25 minute drive, Burlingame 15 minutes and Palo Alto 20 minutes. Note a big deal. Mostly, I would like the convenience of not having to take it back to fix things. Thanks for pointing out that I can get a tour either way. The last tour was a lot of fun.

Any thoughts on factory delivery versus a Bay Area service center? For me it would be either Burlingame or Palo Alto. This will be my second Model S and I already did the factory tour three years ago (although it is tempting to do it again). I seem to remember a thread a while back, which I...

It's not based on the calendar on your phone. It learns from your schedule. If your schedule is reasonably regular, it works pretty well. It did take quite a while before it zeroed in and stopped pre-conditioning at seemingly random times. It also pre-conditions on weekends for no reason...

Agreed. We don't need motorcycles or off-road vehicles of any type tearing up the land along the Bay.

Does no one on this thread think that the OP is a troll? He/she is doing a great job of getting a rise out of a lot of people.

I would just go up 80 and charge at the supercharger at the Safeway in Truckee. We rented a house just north of DL Bliss last September and took the northern route and had a full battery to drive around Tahoe after supercharging. The travel time is pretty close because the road is so congested...

+1 Great app. But sadly it shows that E-6 is worse than E-7. But everyone on E-7 definitely should switch to E-6. You can can always switch to another rate later, but you get one shot at E-6.

That looks like a terrific app for $4.99. Going to download it and check it out. As everyone has noted it is almost impossible for a civilian to analyze these rates.

That won't be enough information if you want someone to to do the work for you. :wink: How many kW is your solar system? Different solar panels put out different wattage. How many kW do you use driving a month? Some people use a lot more than others for the same miles. What percentage of...

That is true. However, most solar systems are sized so that they produce excess power during the day.

Note that the OP has solar and so this may not be correct for someone that has both EV charging and solar generation. There have been a number of threads here (I believe) and on other forums and I think the general consensus has been that if you don't install a separate meter for the EV rate...

Agree that this is not normal. I had this happen as well. I didn't notice it at delivery and took it back in a few days later and they adjusted it and it has been perfect ever since. I have the luxury of living within 15 miles of two service centers, so I would first try taking it to the...

I had a side door like this. It took them about 15 minutes to fix it at the Service Center.

Palo Also SC replaced both the condenser fans yesterday. No more shriek when they shut down.

I don't get any misses as long as I hold the Fastrak transponder on the right side of the mirror where the dots are.
