    Black Ice and Regen: bad combo?

    Happy to hear your daughter was OK. As far as how Black Ice is created, it is both - thank you for bringing it to my attention - I learned something new. I researched Black Ice and the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis was specifically mentioned as well as several other Minnesota references. Here...

    Black Ice and Regen: bad combo?

    Quick thought: how many know what "Black Ice" is and have encountered it? Black ice is completely different than ice - it's worse. Black ice is created during extremely cold conditions (definitely below 0 F) when vehicle exhaust freezes onto the roadway. It is rarely visible and very...

    Police Call: Child in Trunk

    I grew up with cars like this. We had one car where the seats were along the side and we faced into the middle.

    Non Tesla owners on this Forum?

    I'm not an owner either, but the Model 3 will probably arrive at the time I need to purchase a new vehicle. It will be my first consideration. Of course if I win the lottery, I'll have to find a garage to house the Tesla S and X I would buy.

    Random Model X sightings

    I wonder how many bins of Storm Trooper armor I could fit in there? It would be handy to know for events. TK5965 - 501st Legion - Vader's Fist (501st Legion: Vader's Fist)

    Random Model S sightings

    So after seeing my first Tesla in the wild several months ago, I saw two in two days. The first came up behind me (very distinctive lights let me know) as I was traveling home from work. It was a beautiful red. I saw it next to Como Lake in St. Paul, MN and it followed me until I turned west...

    Model 3 design options - incl Station wagon

    I like it. For years, I would have liked a Saab 9-5 wagon (I was driving the sedan at the time). I went to Hyundai instead and drive their Vera Cruz (which I would purchase again if they still made it)

    Minnesota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Trying to think of a good 35E/94 spot, and the best I can think of is the Sears between Marion and Rice streets (right by the capitol). It's pretty easy on/off. Another spot could be near the Cathedral. Neither are downtown, but there are open lots. I could eventually see 4 in the metro...

    Minnesota Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    I have a son at Moorhead State and have been trying to think how I could get there in a Tesla. Between St. Cloud and Alex would be good. I would vote for Mall of America, unless more than one gets added to the metro area.

    The Force Awakens

    I like Star Wars. TK/TR 5965 here. (Not sure what that means - visit 501st Legion: Vader's Fist) If you've seen a stormtrooper, Darth Vader or any other Star Wars character in the wild, they were most likely part of the 501st.

    Random Model S sightings

    I've seen one in the wild (over a month ago) when I started really looking into Tesla. Haven't seen one since. (I think there are about 300 total in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area).

    Tesla Model S has got me hooked

    I've only seen one in the wild, which got me started looking into the Model S. Haven't seen any since. I keep hoping.

    Tesla Model S has got me hooked

    After one test drive and a bunch of reading, I find myself frequently thinking "If I was in a Tesla, I could . . ." "warm the car before I go outside" "not be stopping for gas - but then would I clean the windshield" "it would really be nice not to have to press the brake" and so on. Driving...

    Hello from Saint Paul, Minnesota

    Thanks for the offer. My first car was RWD, all the rest have been FWD. The dual motor does interest me and I've been watching that information.
