    I have 1 inch metal conduit running to my air conditioner which is right below my garage. I would like opinions on weather I can run 6 gauge wire for a 14-59 Plug in the same conduit and just put in a T joint.

    If you do use the Yuma SC Lutes Casino in old downtown is an easy walk and pretty good.

    Anyone have the seat covers from evannex.com?

    I got my covers from Wet Okole - work great and have cutouts for the air bags - my tan seats where getting stained and showing a lot of wear, plus the are perfect for my Golden Retriever in the back seat

    First Trip Tips/Suggestions - Phoenix to San Diego

    It's a piece of cake - charge in Gila Bend - skip Yuma - charge in El Centro - when I go to Carlsbad I usually leave El Centro with 220 rated miles

    The $600 per year check up fee. I know you can blow it off but.

    Thinking of getting a Tesla

    My Tesla is by far the most expensive car to maintain than anything I have ever owned. But I have never owned a Bentley. I was fully aware of the costs and would still buy it again.

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Even though I have a Red Tesla I am thinking about asking Tesla to change my avatar Tesla to a white one. This might help with version 7 usability.

    OUCH! - Calif. DMV registration renewal fee

    Yeah it's better than a Tax credit

    OUCH! - Calif. DMV registration renewal fee

    Plus in Arizona free access to HOV lane
  18. smsprague

    OUCH! - Calif. DMV registration renewal fee

    Arizona does the same but gives pure HE's a break. My Tesla would have cost close to $6,000 for 5 years of registration but with the break only $122 for 5 years.

    V7.0 naming your Tesla 42

    Should have called it Heart of Gold. Remember , the Heart of Gold was the first ship with an "infinite improbability drive"

    Has anyone gone out of state (from AZ) to take delivery at Factory?

    Yes you pay the 5.6% AZ state tax and could theoretically be bill by the county and city for their tax. If you pick the car up in CA you will pay CA sales tax. If the CA tax was lower which it is not you would pay the difference when registering in AZ.

    unhappy with my Audio

    I have no idea - never had any other manufacturer do that but who knows - if I where to do it again I would order the upgraded sound - for me I was really disappointed with the standard sound so I went for the upgrade

    Dash covers?

    I have been unable to find one. Have always put them in for protection in the Arizona heat.

    Charging time Scottsdale -> San Diego

    Charging time Scottsdale -> San Diego I go to Tucson to Carlsbad quite often. Short stop in Gila Bend and then a pretty long charge in El Centro. Lutes Casino in Yuma is great place for lunch if you stop I. Yuma.

    Consumer Reports withdraws recommendation for Tesla Model S

    Wow very unnecessary snippyness. Anyway to answer your questions: 1) What other cars were you considering that CR pushed you over the edge to Tesla? None - was happy with my Prius. 2) What other cars do you think are in the same class (Luxury EV?) None 3) So without the CR report you...

    How satisfied are you with the non-AP (Classic) V7.0

    I think this sums it up from my wife after she drove our Tesla yesterday. What's up with the car in the middle. How do I get rid of that clock.
  36. smsprague

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Yeah me too. If I could just have my battery range indicator back. I don't even hate the clock.

    Firmware 7.0 - For Classic Model S

    Well said. Losing the range when the map is up makes me wish I could go back to version 6. Having a pre autopilot and old TPMS sensors version 7 does nothing for me.

    How much are you saving from your Model S Charging Costs vs Gas for your Car?

    Good point. I gotta spot letting the annual service cost piss me off!
  41. smsprague

    How much are you saving from your Model S Charging Costs vs Gas for your Car?

    Same here but all my saving are eating up by the $600 a year service cost for a Tesla. 2 oil changes on my Prius ran about $100 total. So a wash money wise but a way cooler car.

    Roof racks: too ugly?

    Wow only 1% that's great. For me it would not even be worth taking the bars off.
  43. smsprague

    Roof racks: too ugly?

    I am thinking of getting the rack also. Do we have a consensus on the range hit when not carrying anything.

    70D loaded vs. 85D with fewer options

    Do you need a D, I know it snows but the RWD 85 is a sweet spot in my option.

    70D loaded vs. 85D with fewer options

    I would also suggest the textile seats - my Tan leather seats have not held up well. The new option bundle makes the power lift gate pricey.
