Hope you're faring well in Seattle Snowmageddon 2019. Yesterday, Mrs. G and I ventured out of our neighborhood in our 2014 Model S. It drove...
These Trak devices look a lot like Spikes Spider, which I have for my pre-Tesla car.
Global economy is dragging, and the dollar is strong, so US oil prices are low. As soon as one or both of those changes, oil prices will increase....
Let's stop being picky about the exact numbers. The main theme is correct: the Tesla Model S has more than double the real-world range of the next...
The battery degradation of the Leaf concerns me. I'm also looking at a used Ford Focus Electric. I'm not in California, so we don't have as many...
A used Volt would be an interesting option except that both my wife and son find it completely uncomfortable. - - - Updated - - - Is it that...
I'm thinking about trading the second car (2007 Camry Hybrid) for a used Leaf. Our 2nd car gets very little use: we are both telecommuters, and...
Good point. I don't want my passengers to get too anxious. Sounds like an extra stop is a good idea.
What about the following alternative: Direct route that EV Trip Planner forecasts as 210 RM between final supercharger and destination Route...
As technology, it's intriguing. Practically speaking, it seems much too expensive to be practical, even if it were limited to high-speed roadways...
Vandalizing the truck makes you the bigger jerk, and it solves nothing. Complaining to the hotel management is unlikely to make a significant...
You might want to add teslajson for Python - it is newer and up-to-date: https://github.com/gglockner/teslajson
FYI: I just released a teslajson class for Python. I did this because pytesla was no longer working for me. You can find it at...
The NPS budget is stretched to the limit as it is. Scarce funds would be better off improving the parks than spending for amenities that benefit...
EV Trip Planner is counting the distance spent on the Ferry! The segment from Burlington WA to Tsawwassen BC is 70 RM The segment from Nanaimo BC...
That roof rack doesn't help the range.
I think you missed my point. It's only 170 rated miles, based on https://www.evtripplanner.com. Get to ~220 miles rated range at the Burlington...
This should be easy: supercharge in Burlington, take the ferry from Tsawwassen to Nanaimo, drive to Tofino. According to evtripplanner.com, you...
IMHO, the spec difference between the S85 and the 70D is not much. I don't see much future for the S85. I personally would get a loaded 70D...
Last year, the Bellevue Good-to-Go service center had a notice that the Model S was totally incompatible with the windshield-mounted transponder.
Did you have a prior pass that worked in the windshield? I have read conflicting reports - that a toll pass will work in some Model S windshields,...
I wish someone would sell additional plugs that are truly compatible with the UMC. I've seen just enough TT-30 plugs that I could put that to use...
8 pages of speculation. Sheesh. The processor in the car is far from state-of-the-art. It's safe to assume that Tesla will upgrade it eventually....
I knew that, and it is the reason why I would never buy a Leaf. The Leaf might make sense as a lease vehicle but battery degradation makes it a...
USAA was surprisingly reasonable. Not much more expensive to insure our 2014 Model S than the 2003 Volvo V70 that it replaced.
Check out the MyNissanLeaf forums, where you'll see people complain about battery range loss on the Leaf. So you start with a relatively short...
You can't plug into the reactor? :biggrin:
We have the same situation with a Camry Hybrid and a Model S. Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant surprise when the Camry Hybrid would not start...
Then these are not really public chargers; they are private chargers for the Nissan dealer, who might let others use them if they're not too busy....
During a bike ride a few years ago, a guy who used to work for me was killed by a car. When running or biking, you need to pay attention to your...
I'm still searching for lodging with charging. My hope is to find an RV park with cabins (for sleeping) and 50amp service (for charging). I've...
The problem is that the Tesla web browser is worse than a $300 iPad. Otherwise, there would be little need for Tesla-optimized websites.
It's too soon to tell. In the Pacific Northwest, CHAdeMO is far more common than high power Level 2 EVSEs, making the CHAdeMO adapter a much...
Planning a similar trip for this August. From Seattle, no problems reaching Yellowstone with an S85 and supercharging. Destination charging...
Costco? Sure, they sell a lot more than gas - but you can buy gas during hours when the store is closed.
ChadS, I figured that was you in the yellow Roadster! (I said hello while parking in my white Model S). I eventually found parking in their lot....
Oh man, this is like walking distance to my home. I've got a lot of work this afternoon do but it's tempting to go. Then again, I don't have a...
My $0.02: - Increased destination charging - Nav suggests enroute charging locations needed to reach your destination - Guaranteed no-fee towing...
Good point. Anyone who is on the fence about a Model S should place an order ASAP in order to take delivery by June 30. This is what pushed us...
Pics or it didn't happen! :D
Don't hold your breath waiting. Tesla is notoriously late in getting products to market. Look how long the Model X has been delayed. I'm sure the...
I'm an IE, not an EE, but after reading a bit about the issue, I decided to charge our 85 to 70% during the winter and 60% during the summer. I...
What you're looking for would be listed in the residential sites on PlugShare.
I took delivery in mid-March, and took a road trip to Vancouver the next morning. Had no problems with internet roaming in Canada. I was able to...
Sorry, but that source is far from authoritative. Moreover, there is a possible argument where EVs can cause more wear on pavement since they are...
These two seem like a stretch. In fact, the reason why EVs pay an extra $100 in registration fees is that they use the roads but don't pay motor...
My wife and I were discussing this the other day, and this seems reasonable. This would still be about a 5K savings for a Tesla.
Amen.
You must be new here.
This is exactly what we did before purchasing. (We did the same thing about 11 years ago when we bought a Volvo V70). It took only a few minutes...
