I am being quoted $33k for a single powerwall by a certified installer. They are the only one in my region making it impossible to get another quote. In addition they want $3.80 per W which is higher than most solar only installers in the region. This is because they are trying to install...

So Washington State, the purported land of climate change awareness, is once again seeking higher than gas tax fees on EVs. The new proposal is 2.5 cents per mile. That is equivalent tax to a 25 mpg vehicle roughly and it would be cheaper taxwise to driveany gas SUVs...

So Governor Inslee is set to sign a complete new gas car ban in Washington State. This is probably to generate more revenue given the already horrible EV dissentives in Washington State that charge for weight (higher in an EV), higher taxes at purchase due to higher purchase prices, EV...

50,000 Bolts recalled due to fire risk while parked. Advised not to be driven or parked inside. Ouch. 50,000 Chevy Bolt EVs Recalled, Owners Told Not to Park in Garage This is Tesla's real lead in the EV race. Sure new and old companies will follow with EVs but more than a decade of...

I signed up for solar on 8-11-2019 in Washington State. They began working on my account in September. I sent in my utility agreements and Tesla setup an install in early November. Tesla no showed this appointment for install. I called and Tesla claims to have never arranged the...

2016 Tesla Model X 90D with just over 8,180 miles. Basically mint outside and minimal wear inside. Ventilated seating, captains chairs in the front and middle rows, tow package, winter package, automated spoiler, Autopilot with summon, and more. This garaged, white six-seater includes...

So I have a standard roadster reservation,b the newest email about insolvency in 10 months has me more worried than any other Tesla reservation I have had in the past. Realistically, the roadster won't be on the road until 2021 or 2022 and cutting costs to R&D for niche products may mean later...

I had a cable break in my driver's side door. This resulted in the window getting stuck down. I took the inner door panel off and found basically an Elise regulator. I found a very helpful thread at lotus talk forums on how to repair this. https://www.lotustalk.com/forums/#/topics/239401 My...

I've been thinking about restoring her after the kid abused it a few years back . . . Any thoughts on cost or tips? Thinking about making it match my Thunder Gray.

I hate that I get notice of Tesla events in the past with only a weeks notice. Like many of you, its hard to get to anything that isn't planned for weeks or months due to other commitments. Has anybody heard of a potential date or location for the reveal? If we were able to pencil something...

Interestingly, since the law now covers EV's and hybrids (the electric only provision was struck out in the updated RCW) with non-gas ranges of 30 miles or more, the $150 now applies to: 1. Nissan Leaf 2. Chevy Volt all years 3. Tesla Roadster 4. Tesla Model S 5. Tesla Model X 6...

I'm a pretty big Tesla enthusiast (Roadster, Model S, and #690's X reservation), but the X has really dragged itself out. After waiting over 2 years for the S, waiting again for the X to come to market has been difficult to watch happen yet again. Same mistakes as the S release. Same missed...

So I went to my first ever test and tune at the 1/8 mile drag strip in Walla Walla. My 2012 Sig P85 was super easy to drag, and I got some decent times including my best reaction time of 0.007 seconds (range 0.007 to 0.215) and only 1 red light in about 10 runs. I think everyone was impressed...

Does anyone know if the Ellensburg Roadster Charger (HPC) is still working?

So, as many of you may or may not know, more than a few cars have had their entire high voltage pack replaced under warranty. I recently had mine replaced, and it has brought up what could be a serious policy issue at Tesla. Tesla has proposed a workaround for me, but I am skeptical about...

Not happy. My car was cruising along today fine. Then suddenly I got a ton of warnings saying the car was shutting down. Got close to my house but now it is "unable to drive." Also getting 12 V warning. Needs service. The battery port is red and won't allow plugging in. I just had my 12...

So I know talking about debris and height is not popular but my idea for a future software update would be to allow a steering wheel button double click to raise the car. It would allow the driver to do something other than just dodge the object as sometimes the dodge can't be done. Tesla...

So, I took my Black/Black P85 to a car show in Walla Walla where I live. The car was received very well even in what would be considered a very conservative part of the state. I took home best in class (new cars) over many very nice cars. Lost out best in show to a Rat Rod truck with some...

These would be awesome on the S. They are 21's but not the right width by 1 cm. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/07/24/pirelli-creates-run-silent-tires-for-high-end-audis/?cmpid=app_pulse

I just drove my Tesla in for multiple small service issues and had a great experience and wanted to report on that. I arranged service in Portland weeks ahead, made the drive, and then dropped off the car for 2.5 days. The service was for all non-critical issues. The team there did a...

I took my first real range trip in my P85 from Walla Walla to Portland, and it was both easy and comfortable. I started my journey with a max range charge and drove 65 mph for 255 miles over moderately hilly roads using 80 kWh and averaging 303 wh/mi. The temperature was in the 55-70 range...

Took my longest drive to date (264 miles) burning 80 kwh. During my final stretch, my rated and projected miles stopped decreasing despite continued driving. The range never dropped below 9 and never went red. Any thoughts on why this would be?

I find it amazing that 99% of the world doesn't realize that the Model S is a sedan made in California. At least, the numbers are good though. Outselling the volt, the leaf, and from other sources most othe luxury sedans and coupes...

I want Tesla to succeed. I keep seeing posts about changes to cars on the line (fog lights, alacantra, etc.) and also Elon's new thoughts about production being too complex with too many steps. By subtracting lamps and headliner options, the line can accelerate, and I think the the line...

I somewhat dislike that my Sig Performance still cost more than a brand new loaded Performance Plus. The free $15 monogrammed bag doesn't seem to narrow that difference much. Lesson learned, don't buy a Sig X or Sig Gen III unless you wish to burn money instead of gas. Maybe the other lesson...

One problem with taking delivery of the car is that since it is so new, few realize everything that is due at delivery. It was hard to complete my due list as I wasn't really certain what came with the car. I was wondering if we could build a series of lists of what should come with every car...

Aviators99 inspired me so I added K.I.T.T to Teslamods.com. Access it with the new DASH button. I plan to add some links to some others dashboards you can't find in any other car (with the exception of K.I.T.T. I guess). I realize the OIL button is a little wrong but I didn't want to...

I know Teslatime started the concept. I am playing with browser features like weather, a clock, plug-share, valet instructions, tow instructions, etc. Planning on having a Tesla style side panel with buttons like in Media and links to these features. Here's a clock/weather view. Menu...
