The Laguna Hills @ Polly’s supercharger station is now open. I guess I’m the first person to use the “Polly’s” charger. I saw cars at the chargers and pulled in. They said all those chargers were company ones and I was the first true customer to use the station. They said my blue S might be...

My experience was much better than my just completed 1200 mile trip from LA to Seattle. A 40 mile round trip in the rain yielded very few of flaws that were constant during the long drive. The systme exited highways correctly and without coaxing. I like the request for audio feedback when I...

You will have to pay CA sales tax but WA DMV will give you credit for the entire amount you paid. see this link… https://dor.wa.gov/forms-publications/publications-subject/tax-topics/vehicles-brought-washington-out-state if it’s a lower amount then you could ask CA for a refund on the...

He needs to file form 8911. Last year you could get 30% of all of these types of expenditures back as a tax credit. the program has not gone away but the amount you get back has been reduced for 2023. I used this for my credit in 2021 and my son installed a similar setup as the OP in 2022 and...

I got one of the first 22 VINs because I was in So Cal. Delivery was the day after thanksgiving

Even so, the point of the original post was to raise awareness of the wide disparity in pricing in our state. For example on the I5 side of the state, once you leave greater Seattle, prices are much higher (50 - 100%). On long drives, especially considering the range I have, I look at...

I don’t disagree or dislike your comments. I was just trying to make some estimation that’s easy to grab on to. My model S gets 405 miles (supposedly) so it’s different than all the calculations for the more popular Y, which comes in different variations which makes having a single standard...

I also like the tight fit of the rear cargo mat but I get the OP concern. I got mine a few days ago and put a tie wrap thru the loop in the “under cargo storage” cover and now can raise them both with little effort. It is a bit inconvenient get into the small left hand section but I only put...

Many of us have had an issue with this. Search for some of the lengthy discussion to figure it out. It’s weird but it has happened to a lot of people

What I have noticed is that the prices went way up one month ago (Seattle rose from $.18 off peak to $.24 and then came back down to $.18 a few weeks later.) Other locations had similar rises but I didn’t check all to see if they came back down. I don’t know enough to understand why there was a...

I understand your concern. It’s been bad during the holidays even before the huge production jump of the past few years. Tesla has continued to invest in SC but it’s a bit of a whack a mole situation where they fix some areas but others need more SC. Currently, they are putting in 80 additional...

This is really an awareness thing. I haven’t seen any conversation about the SC costs which are pretty high compared to what residents pay to charge at home. I spend the winter in CA where “OFF PEAK” home rates are $.19 and peak is $.31. Home charging for me in Seattle is $.11 always and I’m...

agree but I guess I'm wondering if people look at this and decide to skip an SC due to cost. Driving from LA recently, I tried to minimize Cal SC due to their costs and stretching in Myrtle Creek, OR rather than the Medford area because my S could then reach Kelso skipping all other OR SC and...

i thought Liberty Lake was the Spokane charger.

Vertainly possible I missed it. Oops. I’ll correct tomorrow.
