    Londonderry NH Sales/Service Center

    From what I can tell, the service center in Londonderry NH is slowly working its way through the various town boards and departments. Drove by there a couple of weeks ago, and still nothing physical.

    Tesla Sales Gallery proposed for Portsmouth NH

    From what I can tell, the service center in Londonderry NH is slowly working its way through the various town boards and departments. Drove by there a couple of weeks ago, and still nothing physical.

    Londonderry NH Sales/Service Center

    At a recent meeting of the Londonderry Conservation Committee much was made of the proposed size of the parking lot at 305 spaces. Having been to many of the Tesla service and gallery locations in Mass. where it's "Don't show up without your own shoe horn" for parking, having plenty of space...

    Tires near Westford, MA or Nashua NH

    Used to live in Westford. For my 2 Model S's I went with PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS II SL from Tire Rack and had them installed at Precision Imports in Manchester. I've enjoyed the experience both times.

    Nashua, NH area. Where to go for routine 3rd party service? (Alignment, Clean and Lube Caliper Slides, Check Brake Fluid, etc.)

    I would also recommend Precision Imports in South Manchester. I've used them for tire work for both of my Model S's since 2013. They also got Tire Rack's highest recommendation with their advanced equipment.

    Service Center - Bedford NH

    Maybe when one door closes, another opens. In this weeks Londonderry Times there is an article titled "Zoning Board Approves Electric Vehicle Service Center Variance" The address they give is 36 Industrial Drive, which is just off of Pettengill Rd. on the south side of Manchester Airport. The...

    Curiosity -- Anyone use AP1 on the Jamaicaway?

    It used to be a four lane road, Don't know if it still is. And it has nice sturdy trees six inches from the road surface.

    New charging stations in Derry NH

    Drove to the back of town hall today. The units looked like HPWC's. When I plugged in I found that they would only charge to 32a. I was hoping they would be a closer alternative to the 80a unit off Spit Brook Rd.in Nashua.

    July Meetup? Elon Musk speaking at Governor's Meeting in Providence

    As this is scheduled for two days from now, any word on whether or not the meetup got past the talking stage? Did this discussion move somewhere else?

    July Meetup? Elon Musk speaking at Governor's Meeting in Providence

    My wife and I would certainly be willing to drive down from New Hampshire for this. If there is a decent level of interest someone might reach out to Elon to let him know we'll be there. Attending the speech would be nice. A brief meetup with him would be even better. Thanks

    New Englanders -- check in!

    If you're concerned at all about that grin going away, I can tell you that with 39,000 miles and over 3 years on my 85...... it doesn't!! Stopped at the West Farms Mall on the way to Florida once. Superchargers all the way.

    Best way to get from I-684 South to Greenwich southbound chargers

    Just got back from my trip. I wound up using exit #3 and Riversville, but took John St. across. I guess a lot of those small east-west roads are twisty and hilly. Thanks for all the help.

    Best way to get from I-684 South to Greenwich southbound chargers

    Google Maps shows a route that runs to the south side of the Merritt and then appears to cross under the parkway. I have a hard time thinking this is real. I've used CT-15 from the Hartford area before and wanted to try I-84 and I-684 for a change. I just don't want to lose too much time getting...

    NH new registration - Is this required?

    You can certainly try using the sticker and see if that flies. When I got mine they didn't have stickers and I referred the clerk to the web site. That's when I had to convince her that mine wasn't a P85. The front plate was put on by the Tesla rep when the car was delivered, after he got the...

    NH new registration - Is this required?

    You definitely have to have the car inspected within 10 days of getting it registered. Since your "dealer" otherwise known as Watertown Service is in Mass. they can't do a NH inspection. The good news is that any inspection station can do it. Wherever you had your last car inspected can do it...

    A sad cautionary tale of poor judgement

    Sounds very much like the headstrong attitude of a landscaper I dealt with. Your guy's last name isn't Murray by any chance? Hope your arm gets better and you're back in the Tesla driver's seat SOON. That "Tesla grin" is wonderful therapy!

    Ben, I will definitely be there, I have the address, I just need to know how much before noon I need to get there. (And add a little extra for traffic, of course)

    Olin & Babson EV event ...

    Has anyone been to this event before? Do we all need to show up at the same time in order to be co-located? Being together at a show such as this has definite advantages as opposed to having the cars spread all over the place. At the Larz Anderson show we met just outside the event and then all...

    I've signed up for it as well, hope they can put us together like the show at Larz Anderson.

    Fob receiver location

    Does anyone know where the receivers (antennas) are located on the car to detect the Fob? It would be nice if I could just go there and wait for the handles to pop out instead of slowly walking along the side of the car.

    Firmware 5.0

    Maybe it was just my eyes, but I couldn't read the small print under the cleaning mode button that I assume would tell you how to get OUT of cleaning mode.

    Firmware 4.5

    I went from 4.4 directly to 4.5 (.61) and I noticed that my titles for USB songs are now no longer wrapped to the next line. Since I'm using the show folders mode and my titles include artist, title and other info I don't get to see most of it like I used to.

    Lets Show Our Strength at the American Car and Truck Day, Brookline MA

    Thanks Steve, I just tried an experiment and with the car UNLOCKED and my wife holding the fob 30 FEET AWAY from the car I was still able to get in, turn the car on and shift into gear. At the show my wife was curious why I didn't want to sit directly behind Jeff's IH Scout. Sitting there I...

    Lets Show Our Strength at the American Car and Truck Day, Brookline MA

    Sorry Peter, they didn't give out any other awards that weren't listed, though I do think there were more of us Tesla's there than any other brand. Great that we were all grouped together. My wife and I took a walk up the hill to the parking lot where the P85 was parked. It would have been...

    Lets Show Our Strength at the American Car and Truck Day, Brookline MA

    Great pic Peter, Deb and I had a blast. Thanks again for Jeff's idea to have a mass arrival so that we were all parked together. This way we were able to spread the load and no one would up losing their voice. Glad to help with the lights. Turns out on our last outing (the Sunday Drive) I was...

    Registration fees in New Hampshire

    One point that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that NH does not use the full price that you paid for the car. They use the so called "base" price. For the most part this is the price of the car without mos of the options that you can outfit your car with. In my case we had to get the office...

    Firmware 4.3 - basic charging scheduling

    For me vin #4517, updated this morning in about 20 minutes from 4.2 to 4.3 (1.25.45) Just for grins I stayed in the car while it was happening. Amusing to watch all the little things going on and off. This is also my first software update.

    Model S in New England winters?

    I'll second that! Actually it's more like when I get to work "Damn, I'm here already????" The only thing better than that is having to use your car FOR work. They sure didn't have to ask me twice if I wouldn't mind using my own vehicle.

    Bringing back the Sunday drive

    Unfortunately Sunday April 7th is a yearly model railroad show in Shirley that I participate in for the whole day. What I do there is also hi-tech, but in a different way. I bring a model train with a video camera in it. Kind of like backing up in the Model S with your eye on the screen, but...

    Enjoying is an understatement. Most days I get to work or home and wish that I lived further from where I work. Sorry, I don't consider the gracious tour of your car to be an "in the wild" sighting as we arranged in advance for the meet up. One of these days we'll have to do it again after the...

    New Englanders -- check in!

    t looks like us NH folks are spread rather thinly over the state. I'm outside of Nashua and so far I've only seen one Model S in the wild. It was a white one with a pano roof parked outside an office building in Westford where I work. This was a few days before I took delivery of mine and as...

    New England Model S Deliveries

    If this storm keeps going like they say the picture will be easy. Take a piece of white copy paper and stare at that. In a blizzard the blue, red, green, grey, silver all look just like the white. I think my blue is going to stay tucked away in the garage. :tongue:

    The day finally came today. WOW! What a car. After spending 2hrs with Andrew (great job by the way) my wife and I drove around and stopped for lunch at a 99 where charging was also on the menu.

    New England Model S Deliveries

    I talked to my internal DS last week and was told that my car (vin 4517) was already on a truck. I then called UPS and they confirmed that. They gave me an ETA for Watertown of Monday 02/04. I wonder if the truck was early and one of the cars you saw was mine? I hope my car doesn't have to spend...

    Driving in New England Winters

    I am curious about the central console at low temps. How long does it take to reappear? Can you still control things even though it's blank? Is there a topic that discusses this in more detail? My car, when it arrives (no VIN yet) will be outside in a covered car port. The smartphone app should...

    New England Model S Deliveries

    I actually did ask about picking the car up in Watertown or having it delivered to my workplace in Westford and was told that there would be tax implications of having a NH car delivered in Mass. I'm not surprised by that since I was told more or less the same thing when I got my Prius back in...
