    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    Mine sits in a cabinet in my garage ... but I have no idea why. Even if I were to start getting tickets, there is ZERO chance I will put the front place on.

    Paint Correction & Coating - G|Techniq C1 & EXO

    I have refined my car detailing skills quite a bit over the last 4 months. The GTechniq treatment looks absolutely brilliant, but I am also doing a careful two bucket wash (the right way) and if I go to a car wash I never use anything except touch less washes. One of the things I have...

    ProClip mount: any Model S Owner in/near Madison, WI?

    Except my ProClip holder requires the lightening end of the cable to be an exact match to the original Apple one .. all the extension cables I've seen have a larger lightening end and won't fit into the slot in the ProClip holder :-( *Sigh* I might have to switch out my holder for one of these...

    Paint Correction & Coating - G|Techniq C1 & EXO

    No issues on my end ... the car still looks like glass almost 2 months after application :-)

    ProClip mount: any Model S Owner in/near Madison, WI?

    Agree that it's not a big deal to have it visible for the time being. The thought of locating the USB source is interesting though. I was actually under the assumption that the processor for the screen and the associated electronics were all mounted in the arm rest. Not sure why, but that would...

    ProClip mount: any Model S Owner in/near Madison, WI?

    First, I wish that Tesla had put a USB port somewhere on the panel side of the interior as well. Second, I wish Pro-Clip had come up with at least one option that mounted on the arm-rest side of the interior. This is how mine is mounted, and as you can see, the white cord is rather unsightly. I...

    Paint Correction & Coating - G|Techniq C1 & EXO

    All kids that come within 3 feet of my car has to put on the following protective clothing: http://www.amazon.com/Medical-Booties-Shoe-Covers-Package/dp/B000CDG7EI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1374765965&sr=8-4&keywords=shoe+covers and...

    Paint Correction & Coating - G|Techniq C1 & EXO

    No, but I was definitely slower than someone with experience would have been. Wash, Clay bar, IPA rinse alone was probably a 5 hour deal. The 50 hours also includes applying G1 Smart Glass and both leather and dash/trim treatment on the interior. It was above 80 degrees and humid, which I know...

    Paint Correction & Coating - G|Techniq C1 & EXO

    I did a full paint correction and then I applied GTechniq C1 and ExoV2. I did this the week after I got the car and I'll readily admit that this is a project I'm not likely to ever take on again. LOVE the finished result, but it was a solid 50 hour project. I was working 18 hour days for 2 days...

    Texas Supercharger Locations (location speculation, discussion)

    Very realistic. Even if you don't range charge and give yourself 76.5 kWh (90% of capacity), you'll have 218 mile range at a very conservative 350 watts/mile. Even in 96 degrees outside and A/C blasting, driving 75 mph average speed last weekend (back and forth to West, which was a 171 mile trip...

    Empirical "evidence" that Model S is better than a Masserati

    One of my friends just bought a Ferrari. It makes me a little sad. You know, because friends don't let friends by Ferrari's. But now I have perfect way of making it work to my personal comedic benefit. I'm so happy right now.

    Empirical "evidence" that Model S is better than a Masserati

    That is an AWESOME idea! It would probably take him weeks to realize. Done!

    Empirical "evidence" that Model S is better than a Masserati

    That'll be a hard bumper sticker to find ... because if you have a Tesla, would you realistically think anyone would have any other type of car also? :tongue:

    Empirical "evidence" that Model S is better than a Masserati

    I texted my friend today and told him he had to come by and check out the Tesla. Apparently he had been living under a rock, because he hadn't picked up on the fact that I had gotten my Model S a couple of weeks ago ;-) He immediate responded with "I will trade you my Masserati for the...

    I'm assuming you didn't have any luck? i'm headed to West tomorrow and will look there and a few miles south (depending on my range).
