You take your Tesla to Rocky Point!!??? We go frequently but reserve Mexico trips to our ICE SUV.. not that it's a beater (Q7) but it wasn't pushing $100k, plus those sand drifts across the roads can be bad sometimes. We recently (Labor Day weekend) stayed over in Palm Springs (Indian...

Ha we missed you by 3 hours - such a depressing sight, empty transformer pedestal.

We'll be there!

Hi Amped!!.. we decided not to do the rally but we are going to show up at the finish line for dinner/drinks and socializing.. Rolf said to get there around 5 for that. Hope to see you there!

when I've played video on my phone and had the audio patch through BT, the sound lag is annoying.. there's a significant delay in the BT audio

Yeah then the 60'ers will be able to make it.

I guess I shouldn't single out that particular app.. Any 3rd party apps that have you send them your credentials in the clear and, I'm betting, store them in the clear.. might be a risk. How positive are you that a hack couldn't bypass the need for a fob and allow a car to be driven off? Just...

Reporting back to those who helped me with range feedback, Phx -> Kingman -> Vegas... We made it! We did hit Buckeye first as I'm out in S/E Chandler.. Buckeye SuperCharger used about 60 rated miles getting there.. topped up to 251 before leaving... back tracked to the 303 north...

Looks like you guys aren't the only ones sniffing the Ethernet port.. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/179556-teslas-model-s-can-be-located-unlocked-and-burglarized-with-a-simple-hack I just hardened my password.. might not use Visible Tesla either until something is done to improve the...

What would you say is "Not a lot to spare"? I know you said you don't have your numbers handy.. but do you think that's like 5 miles or more like 15-20? A/C set to 68.. range mode set? Thanks for the feedback! Enjoy the trip! Sounds like Fun!!

Could that be Dazzo's RV park (and country store) ? I don't see a Davo's.

Thanks for the input! and the tip on Wikiup! Yeah I'm a contributor to EVTripPlanner already and haven't actually made a trip based on it yet.. I'm emailing the author to try to convince him to build a mobile app based on it with additional features that he can charge for and make some...

Chandler -> Buckeye SuperCharger -> Kingman SuperCharger -> Vegas I know nobody likes a cross-poster.. but I'm not getting any nibbles on this in the AZ group section.. My family is planning a road trip to Vegas next weekend... We live in Chandler and plan to stop at the Buckeye supercharger...

I love this idea.. are you going to allow less than 20 mile radii to be plugged in once you have it tested out? I can understand if you make it too small you could get a lot of false positives for jitter in GPS position.. but if you do 15 seconds of samples and that average is used or some...
