We have a P85+, P85DL and P100DL. I would not recommend all season tires on the rear wheel drive Teslas. They are fine on the AWD models but with four good snow tires like Blizzacks they are amazing. All these cars have been driven everyday winter and summer a total of over 100K in southeastern...

Actually, unprofessional behavior is quite rampant in the autobody industry. Many have poor to non existent computer literacy, do not understand the customer, are adversarial to insurance companies and have weak management. Business suicide? Absolutely! Within the past 30 years more than two...

I am in Wisconsin and was concerned the glass roof would make the interior harder to keep warm in sub zero weather. it's actually warmer than my old P85D which has the solid roof. (This might also have something to do with the improved door sealing). The tint is so dark I doubt glare would ever...

P100D 550 miles 90% = 286miles rated. Range mode off. P85DL 34,500 miles 90% = 225 rated Range mode off.

At Marshall Auto Body in Wisconsin this is who keeps our charging stalls from being ICE'd. Charge Station Hawk by scott2613 posted Aug 21, 2016 at 12:43 AM

This afternoon, I noticed that holding the AP lever in the full up or down position results in a continuous increase or decrease in set speed. Also, My car, a late December P85D will sometimes increase/decrease by 5mph and sometimes increase/decrease to the nearest 5mph #. I'm not sure if this...

Mr. Ghosn is an Auto industry CEO. His opinions on the future of self driving are suspect. Think of it this way. How much did any top rairoad executives in the twenties understand about commercial aviation? His industry is ill equipped to lead the way to the future. They have outsourced...

Heard a boom this afternoon and found this outside our entry drive. Cut the corner to sharp and lost it I guess.

Yes, You'd be the only one. I've only seen one other one here and the one on display at the factory. Stop by sometime if you get the chance.

On Sept. 19th we will be hosting a NDEW event in Waukesha. It's a great location and there are 129 signed up so far with 30 EV's including 10 Teslas. There will be food, live music and giveaways. We are expecting attendance greater than 150. Here is a link to the registration form for anyone...

I have a Dec 2014 P85D on .536. 90% SOC rated miles insane mode range mode off is 224. Lifetime watts/mile is around 350.

There have been changes to the charge port. The newer ones with the tech package auto close and are able to be manually opened just by pressing the front edge. The non tech ones don't auto close as far as I know and they do not open by pressing the front edge either. I tried a non-tech one built...

We have a 50kW CHAdeMO/CCS as well as an 80A HPWC and 75A J-1772. They are all free and we have an adaptor available free during business hours. Because we are located just west of Milwaukee off I-94 they are getting used frequently. It probably helps that they are always working too. PlugShare...

Signet Systems FC50K-CC-S is a 50kW combined CC-S/CHAdeMO unit sold by Green power Technology is a decent unit. It has large filters and cooling fans, is less than 48" tall and is the unit Nissan is currently deploying for their no charge to charge program. It will charge a Model S at 125 to...

No sign of work at the Sheboygan site as of June 30th.

I'm delivering a car there tomorrow. I'll check the site if it's not to far out of the way.

If you stop during business hours, you can use our CHAdeMo adaptor. Our fast DC charger takes me from 15 miles to 90% in 1:20. It averages about 125 to 155mph charge rate.

Nissan is building out their DC fast charging network. They will also have an agreement with BMW I think, because the 50kW Nissan unit I have has the CCS plug on it too. There will be more of these showing up and they won't all be at dealerships. They know that hasn't always been convenient...

When we replace the bumper on a multicoat (three stage) finish, we always blend all the adjacent panels. That's the only way to guarantee a match. The multicoat red can be very difficult. We found on that color it pays to use the same product the factory uses. (Glasurit). When we had problems...

We have the Nissan unit. I installed it myself (with a qualified electrical contractor). It's on a 400A 480V service and puts out 46kW. Located in Waukesha just west of Milwaukee.

First... thank you for your generosity and help for the environment in support of electric vehicles. May karma pay you back many times over. That said, what on earth is a CC-S plug? (Yes, I Googled it, but now I need to know how to adapt to it.) I'm very proud of my L2 Frankenplug collection...

Our charging stations should be back online by Friday if we get the okay from the electrical inspector. They consist of an 80A HPWC, a 75A Clipper Creek CS-100 with a J-1772 plug and a 50kW DC fast charger with combined CC-S and CHAdeMO plugs. For those without the adaptor, we will have one...

Trunk mounted tow hitch for Model S.

It's actually 70A at 480V and yes, it's claimed to be over 95% efficient. It's 400A service with 125A breakers. Charger came today and it's really well made. Weighs 500# and looks like an ATM. - - - Updated - - - By the 30th. Weather dependent. Stop by, call first though to make sure I"m there.

It seems like the available power at the fast DC chargers can be highly variable. On the one I'm installing there is an internal adjustment that allows the owner to limit the output. It's possible that some of these units do not have a service capable of delivering their full kW rating. A good...

My guess is the software update will allow all cars to access DC fast charging with a kW limit for those that did not buy the Supercharger option. There will soon be thousands of DC fast chargers installed and Teslas can't use any of them unless they have the adaptor and the supercharging option.

Sister Agidia, my fourth grade teacher told me that when I grew up everyone I met would know I'd been a "D" student.

Absolutely!

We wanted to have equipment that would work for all EV's and be able to charge customers vehicles quickly too. Nissan has provided the equipment but we must provide the infrastructure. (480V/400A Service, parking area and charger pad, lighting, wiring, permits and maintenance). No experience...

It's Nissans Signet CHAdeMO + SAE Combo. It will be on a on a 480V /125A circuit and will run at the full 50kW. We don't have Teslas adaptor yet.

We are just off I-94 on Bluemound Road (Brookfield/Waukesha area). Right now an 80A HPWC and CS-100 75A J-1772. Sometime around the end of March we will have a 50kW DC fast charger. You will need the CHAdeMO adaptor though. Marshall Auto Body | Collision Repair | Waukesha, WI 53186

It is? Maybe that changed on the outside too.

They are placing them in accessible locations. I have one going in at the end of March. It will be just off a major freeway entrance/exit to one of Milwaukees' main East West corridors.

The Nissan fast DC chargers are CHAdeMO and J1772 CCS-1(Frankenplug) combo units. 50KW 125Adc.

I should have our CHAdeMO/SAE combo 50kW DC fast charger installation complete sometime in April. We currently have an HPWC and a Clipper Creek CS 100 75A J1772 all are solar powered with a 72kW array.

In the very same conditions the Blizzack LM32's are working very well on our P85+.

I have a 72.4kW solar array and two Teslas. That's what my post was about. Sorry, forgot to mention.

Solar panels Nope. That won,t work here either. WE energies has just gotten an onerous charge on solar power generation approved by the PSC effectively ruining the advantage of solar over their mostly (62%) coal produced electricity. the Koch brothers have spent big money here convincing the...

I suggest checking with the service center and an authorized Tesla repair facility first. If the damage is light and does not require structural parts or repair you can go elsewhere. However, you may find that the experience with Tesla approved facilities is far better than what some here have...

We have a 2009 Acura SH AWD with Blizzack LM32's and until now I thought it was one of the very best winter handling cars. The AWD on our P85D with 19" Pirellis is noticeably better in all conditions. The Blizzacks are one of the best tires for conditions here in Wisconsin but the Pirellis seem...

I can't say what auto industry change will mean for any current vehicles. I can tell you that Teslas are built to to last, easy to repair and service. They will not be expensive to repair, despite what others have said and experienced here. They are aluminum, which usually adds about 10% to the...

I like the app idea. It could also run on an ipad which would make it easier to see and use in the car. iphone user here.

I had some issues too. One was auto high beam did not work, other was "Driver assist features disabled" contact Tesla service. I did and Lisa at highland park said they would check the logs. This morning I noticed the warning message was gone and everything works perfectly. Perhaps yours can be...

Yes, hopefully it's not a hardware issue. Just thought I'd post it in the event it's befallen someone else.

Update bonked I did the update this morning and this shows up when I shift to drive.

Train arrived. The cars are being unloaded and then put onto car haulers headed for the SC's but it may be hard to tell the exact order in which a particular vehicle gets transferred. I picked mine up Wednesday evening. Everything was perfect. There was a last minute important firmware update...

Thanks Andrew, for all your helpful contributions.

Was notified today that mine is on that train to Chicago scheduled to arrive the evening of the 24th. Delivery tentatively scheduled for the 27th. My DS said she would give me an update if early, on time or late. I'll post it here for other Chicago deliveries that haven't been informed if that...
