    First confirmed battery swap upgrade from 60 to 85?

    At a CA service center i was told a month or so ago that they had already done it. 60 to an 85. I asked if they could make a 40 to an 85 and he said just add the extra 10K for the 40 to 60 increase. So I guess for 28K you can upgrade to a higher value car (+ tires) The extra 10K David paid for...

    Passenger door sags after some driving

    A lot of people rest their weight on the doors when entering or exiting the car. This puts undue stress on them and maybe in your case the door has been deformed or bolts have loosened.

    Model X Timeline - From Prototype to Production

    I talked a to a Tesla corporate employee and I mentioned the aftermarket towhitch that was shown at Tesliive. His eyes got big and wide as he exclaimed that someone with an S tried to haul a boat and ripped out the bottom of their car. I don't know of it was a homebrew hitch or not. I said I...

    Look what I found in Gran Turismo 6...

    So who did this sketch? Did it come from Tesla's design studio or from the game labs? The horizontal chrome strip below the T shows there was a modicum of effort to make it a Tesla design. Thanks for sharing!

    Hotel in Palm Springs area

    Recargo is your friend! We (Renee, actually) had the La Quinta install done for one of our TesLA club drives a few years ago. I plugged our Roadster in there over the Thanksgiving holidays last week. Saw three different MS' charging on the three NEMA 14-50s. They are in the underground parking...

    Sales per store per day

    This is what I hear here in the LA area and more sales on weekends but lesser overall sales in smaller markets.

    Cadillac ELR (Converj)

    This would be an awesome driver's tool if the paddles ran through a range of regen setting. Great for mountain road driving. I belive BMW said they would do this for upcoming EVs. Don;t know if they came though with it. - - - Updated - - - One term changed. :)

    Roadster - a collectors item!

    Wheels can be copied. Electronics will be much harder. Even for Tesla. At some point the stock battery supply will be gone. It was said that even Tesla was buying crashed cars for parts. What does that tell you?

    Electric car owner charged with stealing 5 cents worth of juice

    The guy was clearly a D*ck but is having an EV plugged in Probable Cause? (for getting inside)? I find that disturbing and a violation. I guess we need to hear the 911 call that reported the infraction. Was it a school official? If not, is that reason for getting in the car? As stated above...

    Supercharging ROI

    Last year I was in a room full of EV owners Mini, Leaf, DIY and Tesla Roadster (this was pre June MS deliveries) In this focus group they asked us questions about driving EVS and what was important. Later they showed us the Infiniti they were going to release. We with the Teslas were saying a no...

    Supercharging ROI

    I thought I had read that 90% of the original Leaf buyers got the quick charge plug enabled. It's pretty typical for buyers to do that type of future upgrade. Not too dissimilar to most Teslas being 85s.

    Tesla Model S P85+ takes on the Ike Gauntlet Review

    Model F?

    It's pretty good. Tesla has shown they can design with the best in the world so I'm not worried. BTW, Outsider has the entire alphabet spoken for.
