:love: Excellent choices! That looks like my dream garage (and very fitting tags) Kudos

I had the same thoughts when I decided to post here. This afternoon I received a call from an executive in a position to actually affect change within the system. He shared a very plausible explanation for what happened in this case, said they are making appropriate changes, and personally...

I agree, the calculated risk I took was after much soul searching. I eventually decided to pursue this route as this is not the first time I have been down this road and am in no way the only one to be left wondering. My end goal is basically to is inspire a slight modification in thought and...

I really appreciate the incite from the industry pros I knew only this forum would bring out. If this were the first time I had talked them for a potential position I would still be sitting around waiting. Being the only time I have ever given consent to check my background I was confident in...

Ahh those darned fat fingers strike again, of course in a field without spell check ;) I noticed that after I submitted it...read the body several times...missed the headline (guess that does nothing to prove my point) Can I get an admin to help make me look literate please? :)

Good Day all, My story begins in the middle of November of last year. About a week after announcing approval for the service center in Vienna Virginia I was contacted by a recruiting coordinator from HQ and asked if I had some time for a phone interview as my name was submitted my the manager...

Wow that is coming around nicely. :) Great pics.

Good advice, thanks I know from previous experiences that there are a few of the guys in Rockville who live on this side of the bridge. I'm sure some will be relocated but the volume of work up there is so high they might not be able to spare too many hands, and it seems likely they will want...

Reading the press on this announcement from Fairfax themselves makes me proud to be a Fairfax resident and voter. Glad to see we are still support green tech, unlike some of our western neighbors. I find it interesting that the government press release mentions " Under the terms, Tesla has...

I too am anxiously awaiting the announcement of a new service facility up here. I would bet it is either going to be near the end of 7 in Tyson's before 267 or off of the Toll Road somewhere in the Reston area. It would make sense to have it near Aston Martin, Bentley, Porsche, and MB but...

My concern about adding something at that point in the system to a car like this would be increasing the likelihood of a problem from a faulty/failing/damaged killswitch effecting the reliability of the car. It would undoubtedly void the warranty (not just on a Tesla). All too frequently I see...

Ohh very good point. Given the overall superior range of the MS I would not think it (energy spent waiting in traffic) would be much of a concern for this crowd, I could however see it being more of an issue with the MiEv or Leaf...not really doing much for the argument "entitled rich people...

(http://www.dmv.state.va.us/webdoc/pdf/platesponsor_special.pdf) The process of creating the tags is not very complicated (in the context of seeking state approval for something) in Va. Having to collect the paid applications and managing the process might be a little annoying and time...

I did expect a few people to respond with a comment along those lines and completely respect that, it is quite admirable. I figured Tesla owners were good people...I didn't expect them to be the type to willingly wait in traffic though :cool: IMO it does not seem like you are gaming the system...

Greetings all, I keep seeing the same few Model Ss every few days on the commute from Herndon to Alexandria while toiling in my Mazda :redface:. A few have the clean fuel tags that allow use of the sometimes clear HOV lane and do not make use of the convenience. I know I would be passing...
