    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    The car pretty much has to be there today to give the delivery team time to prep for your Wednesday pickup. I'll be surprised if you get the rug pulled out from under you.

    I concur, I'm very happy with my Hummel 14-50. Peace of mind that you have a quality receptacle handling all those amps is important.

    If he does that, how will we update our moving EDDs?

    Unfortunately, there are people who think it's amusing to destroy the work of others. Wait until the google sheet author has had a chance to restore to an unvandalized version.

    My LR EDD just updated to Mar 21 Mar 31! OD Feb 13. Woohoo! Except I kinda wanted April delivery, but I'll take it.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I'm already driving a RWD Model 3, just that it's the 2019 version. I specifically waited until Feb 13 to order because I didn't want to take delivery of a new car during a Chicago March. If it takes until May before I get my 2024 LR AWD, so be it. I can tough it out in my "old" Tesla. But I...

    At least you have numbers in your EDD. After two weeks mine still says Apr - May.

    I ordered Feb 13 and still have the original nebulous Apr - May EDD.

    The election is not going to be as close as the click-bait, horse-race corporate media would have you believe. Don't fall for the fear hype.

    Wow, just like that, from two-month EDD to VIN! I didn't want a March delivery, so I ordered two days after you. Maybe there's hope, even for a LR customer like me.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    Just so you can start sounding like a Tesla veteran — there are no dealers or dealerships in the Tesla environment. There are Tesla delivery centers and service centers (often in the same location), Tesla body shops, and Tesla galleries (car showings only, no deliveries or service). Tesla sells...

    Supercharger - Lanaʻi City, Lanaʻi, HI (4 stalls + 36 wall connectors)

    Ellison owns 98% of the island. I think the other 2% owners can buy and receive cars as they please.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I've been driving a 2019 3 SR+ (aka RWD) for almost 5 years now, and I'm excited about all the upgrades in technology and features that are missing from my entry-level Tesla. My current car doesn't have 300+ mile range, AWD, octovalve heat pump, auto-open/close trunk, heated steering wheel...

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    In 2019 I paid $850; the run was from the back of the basement to the middle of the garage side wall, five conduit bends. In five years of inflation I can see where it would be twice that.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I own a 2019 SR+. The sound system is nice. I took a demo drive in a 2024 LR. The sound system is beyond compare. The bass just gets you right in the gut. The 17 speakers just fill the car with great sound.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Yes, new, the Pay Now comes with a $100(?) penalty if you cancel your rental. In the SoCal you must return the car with SoC within 5% of the value that the car was provided or pay $25(?) charging fee.

    I just rented a Model Y last month and drove it from San Diego to Long Beach. I would say they are still cycling, and just selling off the really high mileage ones.

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    Going by the polls is problematic. The media need a horse race to drive clicks and engagement. When all is said and done on Nov 6, I think we'll find that the conditions of 2020 have shifted even further away from the candidate who would betray NATO.

    Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

    I did a demo drive today but no advisor ride-along. Might be because we know each other from the same athletic club. The demo car was a LR and the difference from my 2019 SR+ is stunning. The smoothness and quiet of the ride; the sound system is so much better! Probably going to take a couple...

    Chicago area superchargers failing in cold

    ComEd has plenty of capacity, and Oak Brook is too posh to be the first suburb that ComEd cuts off. I think this was a perfect storm of multiple events — Tremendous growth in EV adoption in the Chicago area The first Chicago winter in many years to get this cold A lot of local area drivers...

    Chicago area superchargers failing in cold

    I had two Xfinity internet outages of over two hours each yesterday in the bitter cold. Something about modern electronics and super cold?

    Russia/Ukraine conflict

    I identified Latham as Canadian because all his academic work was at Canadian universities: York, Queen's. Directories - Macalester College - Acalog ACMS™ If it was 1915 Latham would be telling the French to give up land for peace.

    Supercharger - Lombard, IL

    I drove by the Target parking lot today, which is probably twice as big as the lot by Yardhouse & PF Chang — a much smaller chance of stalls getting ICEd.

    Supercharger - Lombard, IL

    This is probably the one that the Tesla site still lists as Oak Brook coming in Q3 2023. It was leaked as having a Butterfield Road address on the north side of the street, which is technically Lombard. The Target store is closer to 22nd Street, but that whole wedge of shopping mall is Lombard.

    IL Front Plate Scofflaws

    I've noticed that about half of the Teslas I see on the road, highway and suburban streets, do not have the front license plate installed — in violation of Illinois law. Have the cops just stopped enforcing that law? Any Illinoisans here without a front plate ever been stopped and ticketed?
