Someone on another blog wrote that charging per California Department of General Services1 1: An EV does not need to charge every time it’s parked; therefore public and common use EVCS are charging spaces and not parking spaces.  While an EV needs to be in a parked state to charge; charging...

Can I get a simple answer? When a space is marked as both EV and handicapped is it reserved for either or, or is it ONLY for those with a placard AND charging? I just got a ticket by a security guard whom interpreted it as you must have BOTH. -So I found a police officer and asked him and he...

More on regen baking The Magic of Tesla Roadster Regenerative Braking

I’d also like to know the value of ceramic brakes..? Can’t they just torque the regen so that the car recharges more? I thought Elon talked of doing away with disc brakes.

Tsportline sent it this morning. Twitter has nothing to do with this… why be such a skeptic.

Someone did modify their TESLA to be able to Solar Charge…

200 MPH Tesla Model S Arrives in Europe! I’m trying to picture this… -Lol Perhaps it boosts the GVWR allowing for tax incentives?

Tesla paid for it

Right, WD40 is a solvent. -Don’t use on any plastic it will eventually deteriorate it. Lesson from skateboarding…. On plastic use graphite or Silicon

Interesting… they changed the door handles for the sixth time not too long ago. However it sounds like it’s coming from upfront

Off and on makes no difference… it’s not in the HVAC

Prolong is a sex spray..!

It’s a MS 2013 60

Does anyone know what is causing this sound and how to fix it? It is not the AC because it continues with and without the air on. It’s not something hanging or dragging because it continues weather or not your moving. It usually starts when the care first starts up and then completely goes...

I found this video from a 2014 exclusive Tesla event that I recorded that I thought I share…

Does it make a Da Da Da Da sound like this… I would love to know how to fix it. It usually starts for just a few moments after first starting the car. It stops at random. Has nothing to do with AC or if or if not moving.

My 2013 MA60 rocks out on occasion

I was cleaning the car and found the same scratches, like someone touched it up (sloppy). Dark grey MY

I’m not looking forward to BMS_u029 Is this a battery failure or film ware issue? I’m never on miles only %… wondering what percentage you all are being capped? (2013 MS60 124M)

I wonder what ever happened to battery swap? If the government is to get involved they should standardize EV battery shapes and terminals so someday we can just pull up and swap out… a lot easier infrastructure than charging stations everywhere and it also help with range anxiety. Anyone who has...

Every 3000 Skip to 4min:20sec o F’d this video to see how

Use the trip display for a more accurate mileage range. DON’T use miles on the instrument cluster % is the only way to go. And on the trip display try to keep at 300kWh, letting off at times of spike set at 5 mile AVG.

All the service manager can provide is genuine sympathy. Trust me the company doesn’t care they the have their agenda unlike any other company and passive aggressive is their motto. This is why they love the app scheduler.

I took a road trip when my Model S was new and got stuck in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Lesson… buy trip insurance. w/Tesla, expect the unexpected.

I saw this video on how to change the oil and wanted to try to DIY it. Has anyone done it themselves? Oil Change on Tesla Model S every 3,000

Pro: the Arcade Con: can’t play while FSD

I love the hover and deep sea mode, but I could care much less for the farts.

Her technology is sexy as has (when it works), and an ugly bitch when it doesn’t.

She’s wonderful in the bedroom but horrible in the kitchen.

Did you ever get a quote from Jason Hughes 057 Tech? I’m in California and would consider shipping it out there before paying Tesla… You need to also consider the MCU issue. In a matter of time all Tesla has to do is push an OTA and you can forget Suppercharging, Windows, Radio, and Air unless...

This link brings up an article that explains how Tesla is gouging us on repair costs… $16,000,000 for a $700 rapair A $1000 for wiper blades!!!

Is there an official Tesla manual and guide for annual service? For the first 75,000 miles I used to come in for routine annual maintenance and now they say its no longer necessary. Mostly they just replaced the brake fluid, cabin/carbon filter, and whipper blades and washer fluid, plus...

Having to pay for an upgraded MCU is not acceptable. During the warranty period Tesla should insure efforts to extend the useful and desirable lifetime of the car. What Warnings Does The Tesla MCU Provide Before Giving Up? If Tesla is going to push over the air updates that create logs which...

I’m now on the third reschedule for the service on this issue… they said the parts haven’t came in yet. -this is a logistics issue not a manufacturing one because the rep confirmed that the parts are available, just no one has shipped them yet. For a month my wife can’t drive the car because...

I posted an article about this titled Memory Seat Malfunction. It’s at least good to know I’m not alone…

We need more hacker shops to fix the bugs caused by the manufacturers slacker shops.

I’ve had endless problems since the MCU recall. They actually did it twice because the 1st replacement was worse than the original. Now I’m having issues with Bluetooth, audio, seats and most recently: If this was a phone…ok but a new one. But a car should be able to run and cared as it...

Those are scratches and you shouldn’t ever use rubbing compound on clear coat! Maybe an eagle landed and ate his prey, or a cat made love on your hood.

Similar problems on my 12/2013 MS60 and after 2 replaced MCUs …

So now after several rescheduled due to parts on back order my instrument cluster turned into a strobe light to the sound of the music on slacker… SC however is ordering a new seat😲

Use your head… there is no proper lines. You can’t block traffic!this is not inN out. You can’t just start a line when there is nowhere to start one.

Has anyone else had trouble with their seats? once and a while they just stop working... Manually adjusting doesn't work. Memory seat restore fails to activate. While driving the seat randomly has short bursts into decline or retract..! (I was on the freeway at the time) Had to drive home one...

So I’m at a High-usage Supercharger (Scripps Rch). 2 cars were waiting at the entrance of the isle whereas if I waited behind them I would be blocking oncoming traffic. So I pull into an empty parking space in front (visible to all). Another car then pulls along mine, then a fifth car jumps...

if @@wj057 would only reply to messages sent and tweeted to his company 🙁 I’ve tried to reach out to him on several occasions… 🦗 too bad he wasn’t close enough to pop by. I’m hoping someday evWest or ElecticGT Electric GT - Electric Vehicle Systems and Components in San Marcos will step to the...

So we finally had the SVC check out the battery… despite slower charging (about a minute per hour), despite range reduction… the battery is healthy. Physically the car is PERFECT. But thanks to the recent firmware they admitted they’ve reduced the speed that the car will charge. Like an older...

While toting how fast charging has evolved. How nice of them. I guess Shell should install a governor download while the ICE fills up at the pump to limit their RPM to help improve gas mileage. Then make the cars slower so that we toss them into landfills and replace every one with a brand new...
