sm4llz, nanimac: Thanks, it worked! I also found this for future reference for when it does expire: Q: Does the slacker radio subscription expire? - Tesla Motors Wiki

Yesterday morning, I listened to Slacker on the way to work. Last nite, my screen said that a signal couldn't be detected so I switched to Tune In. This morning, the tab for Slacker doesn't even appear in the Browse\Internet tab. I vaguely remember Elon mentioning a long time ago that Tesla...

Akikiki: Thanks for the reminder, I forgot that I was in that group!

I just had my car picked up to replace my 12V battery about an hour ago. Danny Bonilla, who just started a month ago and two other reps that started yesterday stopped by. Danny was super courteous and friendly, just like everyone else. I was surprised when Danny told me that the Manager...

StephenM: Thanks! That is the best explanation that I've read on Tesla's unique business practices.

403portside: Thanks for the reply! Our service center offered to stop by with a new model and let me do an A/B comparison before I do the switch, as they told me that it is "irreversible." I believe in the preceding thread, Elon did mention that replacement seats may be available, but I...

nanimac: Thanks for letting us know about the roadster. I had it briefly and was only able to do a lunch time errand, but they finished my MS a lot faster than they thought, so I didn't get to take it home. Luke was kind enough to offer to let me take it home overnight, but I thought that I...

Hi: Has anyone else with a VIN less than 38xxx tried the driver's seat retrofit mod to improve lateral support like ddruz? New Seats and Retro Fit Seats - Does anyone know when? - Page 3

Ddruz: Did you have the chance to compare a "new" production seat like chickensevil did? How does a modified seat compare to the original? If you had the opportunity to try a new seat, how does the modified seat compare to the new seat?

Drtko: Thanks! I also remembered that some times the Convention Center parking lot exit booths are unmanned, so you have to prepay at the office inside the Convention Center near the elevator, then after they code your ticket, you put it in the card reader upon exit. Have you encountered...

Drtko: Are the Convention Center EV stalls located on the ground level near the Kalakaua entrance?

Evan: Don't feel bad--I did exactly the same thing! Didn't see the mirror auto-tilt toggle switch. Fortunately, I had some suspension noise that needed to be checked.

drtko: Good. The legislators have to think that what they are doing is based on fairness. Then we hit them with the clincher: $100/EV x 1,500 EVs = $150,000, but $10/motor vehicle x 800,000 or 900,000 total motor vehicles = $8-9 million! That will go a lot further in funding road...

Akikiki, dsmith: Perhaps we could try to explain to our legislators this way-- one taxes behavior that you wish to discourage (cigarettes, alcohol) & you give credits for behavior you wish to encourage (photovoltaics, charities) or subsidize things that benefit us all (mass transit). EV owners...

Thanks!
