The car has been sold! Thanks to the buyer, and all those who indicated interest. This has funded a new Model 3 :D... now getting XPEL Ultimate Plus, Gtechniq Crystal Serum, XPEL XR Prime tint, and Gtechniq interior coating... all from All American Paint Protection in Rockville, MD! Just from...

Hi Jamie -- I will reply to you on Facebook. Yes I would imagine that after a few full charges / long trips the pack counter may "reset" and appear to regain some rated miles... I just had to "burn off" some miles after filling up at the Laurel Supercharger -- that was a pretty fast 25 miles...

Data coming in now from Laurel MD Supercharger: Charging Levels ================ 60% is 146 MI -- difference from original: (.6 × 265)−146 = 13 MI 70% is 166 MI -- difference from original: (.7 × 265) - 166 = 19.5 MI 80% is 189 MI difference from original: (.8 x 265) - 189 = 23 MI 90% is 213...

Hi... Sure... actually I'm doing a "test charge" right now to 80% and I will let you know... then I can try the other levels and will let you know those as well. But I'm at home right now so it will take a while ;)... but I could swing by the Laurel Supercharger to speed it up :). Here's what...

I just wanted to give a report on the excellent repair outcome I had with Criswell Collision Center. They completed the repair in 1/2 the time they estimated -- I brought the car in Tues, had it back on Fri. (same week). The repair has made the upper left rear quarter panel look *brand new*...

Seriously... someone needs to tweet / email Elon about this!! I bet he would bust some heads and make stuff roll... depending on the real root of the issue. I mean it's not just 1 person's body-work... it's the many-owner multi-month/week parts issue across the board that must be fixed! Now I...

I'm a *huge* Tesla / Elon / SpaceX / OpenAI etc. fan... heck one of the NASA missions I worked on launched on a Falcon 9! But in such a case I'd say go for a tweet and/or email to Elon maybe! I mean if the parts department is *this* messed up, better fix it NOW before thousands of Model 3's...

Thanks -- yes I have CQuartz Finest paint coating on the whole car. Fortunately my insurance will cover that too. Coincidentally I just chatted with another S 85 owner (same paint and interior as mine even) at work today and he too had used Criswell Collision Center (wayyy back a few years...

I have about a 15 inch long deep scratch in upper left rear quarter panel. My damage (from when I was at an industrial park kind of place) happened when I was backing up and turning around a trailer and couldn't see their hitch -- it got me in my blind spot. I just visited Criswell Collision...

Awesome... great news finally! :)

That is completely AWESOME (that the site has been found)! Thanks for sharing! :) Great to see this Erie Supercharger finally materializing! It will be super useful.
