    Since my MC2/HW3 upgrade, the car will not sleep when plugged in

    Are you saying that you got an advanced copy of the BUG without even buying the upgrade?

    6th Annual Sound of Silence Tesla Rally

    Hey there fellow Floridian! I will also be leaving early- and planning to make the most out of the trip. I just got called away from the computer, but will take a look at my schedule and see if we can cross paths :) angel sklancha@gmail

    Supercharger - Brandon, FL

    There is plenty of charging available on campus, so I wouldn’t be to worried. Also, it is not THAT much burden to hit up the super chargers in Brandon or Tampa. I personally find the Brandon SC better for travelers - Starbucks, several restaurants, shopping etc.

    How to convince FL DMV to design EV license plates

    I was just asking the same question. I recently was in Massachusetts and saw their new EV plates. They are not ostentatious but clearly identify the cars as electric. That would make it so much easier for police to identify the EV stays in an emergency, posers using EV parking/charging spots...

    Elon Musk Unmasked as Top Donor to House Republican PAC

    I admit that I haven’t read the majority of the above posts, so I apologize if I sound repetitive. I came across this thread after searching something to the effect of ‘electric vehicle supoort by other republicans.’ See, I’ve been appalled by my country turning science into a presumed...

    Supercharger - Manchester, TN

    Hate to break it to ya- but it is not all that uncommon for them to be functional for several weeks, but still not showing up as operational. The most recent we've gone to like that was in Tampa. This is why it is so helpful to have locals sharing the intelligence.

    Supercharger - Wheatland, WY

    I am hoping Bighorn is right... actually kind of depending on it. Plan on heading to Arches NP after the Cluster Clan disperses and Wheatland is right in my crosshairs. angel

    Model 3 hits Tampa International Mall

    @jas- You are absolutely right, but since Tesla is still claiming a 450,000 reservation backlog they don't need to concern themselves [yet] with appeasing those that will need a test drive first. By the way, I am pretty sure we have someone with a blue Model 3 in Apollo Beach (or at least...

    Supercharger - Dickinson, ND

    This might not be the right place for my inquiry, but it seems to be the perfect group of people to ask... I will be heading to South Dakota for the Sound of Silence Tesla Rally May 18-19. I am Strongly considering adventuring up to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park... then driving all the...

    Free CHAdeMO Adapter borrowing is now available! for N.A.

    LOVE the idea. I am hoping there might be somebody in the Tampa Bay area or somewhere along the path we will be taking heading west that would be willing to lend their Chademo adapter (security deposit totally understandable). In the [likely?] even that I get no local offers, do you roughly...

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    I wonder how many people routinely stay up way past there bedtime to watch the a vehicle launch event. This is my first time. Ever. Of those of you that more routinely watch such events, how often do you do it when you KNOW that it will be an unrefined speaker, with historically poor...

    Reactions to Model X reveal event

    Considering that the most difficult passengers to work with are babies in carseats- if the car can make that experience much better- it should be better for all other passenger scenarios (i.e. grandma and her walker)

    Will you regret buying MS too soon if immensely better model comes out soon?

    That is a VERY different scenario- particularly because it was a feature you were in the market for, and you let the drool get the better of you ;). One of the guys I work with has held on to his old beater for years, because he is obsessed with the self-driving car concept. He has his drool...

    Will you regret buying MS too soon if immensely better model comes out soon?

    Wouldn't it be more frustrating if you were ready to buy a car in June, and you knew that all these improvements were ready- but the company chose NOT to give it to you, because it is not the new car year yet? To the question- I actually think that I would have delayed buying my Model S a bit...

    Will you sell your Model S and buy Model X?

    Despite my daughter encouraging me to consider trading over the Model X (we travel and camp a lot), I have no intentions of giving up my beloved Model S. Though I must say that the X looks like it would meet more of my real life travel requirements more than any other truck or SUV I've owned-...
