Based on the coordinates, that box is correct. I was inside the red box when I took the attached photos. The first is looking East, South 324th is on my right, Hwy 99 is straight ahead.

Personally, after 4 years of Tesla driving around the PNW, I have come to the decision that the in-car nav is usually quite good at telling me where/when to charge. - I always charge up to 90-100% before leaving my house. - I always punch in my destination on the in-car nav and trust it’s...

Finally made it out here. Wonderful cafe and coffee place. We had the BLT Panini and the tomato basil something panini, both delicious! Came out this way to do a little light hiking now that some of the state parks are open, but also to make sure to visit Lacey’s place.

Model S, 4 years old now, never had a front plate. Never been pulled over, never got a ticket. I live in Federal Way and rarely drive into Seattle or Bellevue/Redmond.

Um... scheduled for September 21. So hasn’t happened yet.

I had a good experience with new tires on my 3 year old Model S at Les Schwab. They actually had the tires on hand, which was a huge surprise since I had previous been told it would be three days to get the tires in.

I’m interested in solar in the PNW as well. I’d like to put in solar with battery storage so that during power outages I can run at least some parts of the home, and lower my power bill year round. Additional information from West of the Cascades users of solar is much appreciated.

No parking/charging problem in Leavenworth today, even though all other parking is totally full.

I got the new (BETA) maps update over the weekend (2016 Model S 85D AP1). I like the new driver display. My only real test so far indicates that the routing is much better. The old nav always took me down an older, slower road to get to the freeway, but the new nav takes the obviously better...

I’m down in Federal Way, but I’ll run up there if we are really having a meet at 11 AM today.

I can’t transfer the reservation, but I can go through the order process for someone else, have that other person pay for and take possession of the vehicle at delivery. I never own it, I just act as an intermediary through the order process. At least that’s my understanding right now.

I just received my email from Tesla telling me it’s time to configure my Model 3. I’m in the Seattle metro area. I’m NOT going to use this. Circumstances have changed (getting divorced) so my Model S is all I need and can afford. If anyone else is interested in using my spot in line - and...

Aren’t you missing your own Soap Lake site?

I agree. Driving from Tacoma to Portland and back is difficult. There needs to be another super charger in or around Vancouver, WA. It looks bad on the viability of the Tesla electric vehicles when I can’t drive around Vancouver and Portland because I have to save electrons to make sure I can...

I’m down in Federal Way, but you are welcome to use mine if you can get down here. I’ve actually never used it yet.
