Nice! Is Tobey an analyst or a therapist?

what about rear wheel alignment? i've worked through a local tire shop when buying new winter tires, balancing and rotating my tires. they analyze the alignment on the front and back but claim they can only do the front as the rear end is enclosed and they don't know how to access it. anyone...

From from what they said the Fremont GM plant was one of the worst. They gave examples of workers routinely sabotaging cars. They fired all the workers and rehired a lot of them for this joint venture with Toyota (NUMMI). The managers were flown to Japan to learn the Toyota way. It completely...

NUMMI | This American Life interesting story on 'this American life' about the NUMMI plant. has the history of the collaboration between toyota and GM.

Just a heads up for those not familiar with the area. Despite its appearance, you're in no mortal danger regardless of the time of day. Auburn is a sleepy little suburb of worcester and you're more likely to be accosted by a coyote or deer than a bipedal predator. Obviously crime can happen...

Looks like they cleaned it up quite a bit. They dug a long trench leading to the electrical box. This has since been filled in and not obstructing access any more. Looks they re-dug the trench in front of the SC's. Not sure how the pics will look as it's pretty dark.

Mmmmm, interesting. Looks like our cars are going to be on the same transport. Haven't heard anything either. Guess it's time to make a call.

nice video. looking forward to the upgrade. are you able to tell what the numbers indicate on the cruise control setting? car lengths? seconds? distance?

Yeeehaaa!!!!

Stopped by the new RI SC. I'm loving these things.

i would favor the coastal route.

I could probably make it.

i can make it.

i had a similar (but different) experience upon delivery. my car was delivered in an empty parking lot. a guy in a pick up drove by really slowly and headed off. he came back a few minutes later as the car was being lowered off the back of the trailer. he pulled up next to me and rolled down...

definitely interested in the drive. if i'm around on the 28th i'll be there. bhuwan: if i can make it you're more than welcome to ride along with me.

same here, had to pay in full before they would put it on a truck. have to agree with Robert. times were tough back in the day. we only had one choice: 85 kwh! and we were happy to have it. you kids and your fancy 60 kwh batteries. it's downright shameful.

definitely go for the 85. worth every penny. k

could it be the motors tilting your mirrors?

what functions would we lose if we chose not to buy this service?

welcome! and congrats! that's a quick turnaround. yer gonna love it!

i was driving down a relatively unplowed side road. i was doing ok with traction control off. i was spinning my wheels and fish tailing all the way down the road. kind of fun. the problem came when i had to make a stop to look for traffic before pulling onto the main road. there as a slight...

Drove home in the storm at about ten pm. Everything went fairly well until I got about 200 yds from my house. At the final T-junction I got stuck. After about 20 minutes of digging (with some help from a few neighbors) and a lot of spinning tires I got free. When it was all said and done...

That's awesome! Laurent, you're my hero. Love the iphone app. comes in handy. something else occurred to me. we now get a 'cabin temperature', something we didn't have before. just an outside temp.

Funny, that's the reaction i expected. sacrilege to deface the front cone. i'm ok with it. that's the way tesla designed the plate holder and that's where the tech at the service center put it. i couldn't get the windshield transponders to work (after trying two). the front plate...

drove this morning in the snow. roads weren't plowed yet. can't stand the snow with traction control. IMO it's too sensitive. took traction control off. definitely spinning the tires a lot but i think it's better than no power at all. would love to hear other's thoughts on this...

thanks. just picked up a USB cable. works great.

Allstays | Campgrounds | RV Parks this was mentioned by somebody else on a different thread..i believe about a trip from baltimore to pittsburgh. it's a good site and a great app for your smartphone. the app is pricey at $10 but it has a ton of info. you can filter your search for year round...

i listen to music from my iphone via bluetooth. when the music is playing does the phone sit there passively (without much battery drain) or does it actively participate and drain the battery? just wondering if i need to plug it in to avoid draining the battery or if it's a non-issue...

that was my experience. once the car arrived, all the pre-delivery angst evaporated.

Fred, welcome aboard. would love to show you my model S and, as ED said, there are lots of owners around the boston area willing as well. ED, when your car finally arrives we should reconvene the massachusetts tesla club to show off our new toys. i imagine the anticipation is killing you...

took a ride to the southbound supercharger in CT. definitely worth the trip. had my first experience with the paparazzi, both on the road and at the charger. on the south bound journey i took it easy and was finally able to get my projected range higher than my rated range. had more fun on the...

i went out in the most recent snow storm. i was driving on my all season tires and didn't have any issues. the biggest problem was the other drivers. the suv in front of me spun out on a short uphill and came to a complete stop. once she started back up i was on my way with little difficulty...

My only regret is that i didn't get it sooner. no regrets..go for it.

He told me he would have been here sooner but had to sit out the Midwest snow storms.

The flag has been planted in worcester massachusetts! took deliver this morning. posted some pics in the delivery thread. there were two more cars on the truck headed east. amazing car. i've been grinning all morning. never going back again...

Took delivery this morning! Silver/black leather interior/pano roof and a bunch of other stuff. #p1675/vin P1655. Last fillup: First 'fill up':

yep, same boat. little disappointed. was hoping to have my plates already. emailed and called tesla to try and track down the paperwork but didn't get a straight answer. the driver called and said he'd be here sunday. don't tell anybody but i think i'll just put my old plates on the new car...

i got the same call. looks like we're on the same truck after all. hoping i get the paperwork from tesla in the next two days so i can get my plates. from reading other threads the consensus is that we don't tip the driver.

i would be very surprised if our cars weren't on the same truck. i'm in the same situation. car is finished and paid for. sitting in a parking lot in fremont.

this is a deal breaker for me. even though i've paid for my car and it's about to be put on a truck....no deal! this is too much. no, just kidding. thanks for the info guys.

Robert, Ben, Troy..or any other massachusetts S driver: have you installed your fastlane/ezpass transponder? any issues going through the tolls? i remember hearing something about the windshield glass interrupting function.

congrats robert! enjoy the ride tomorrow.

Thanks for the offer GG. i appreciate it. unfortunately, i haven't signed any paperwork so i don't know how much money to send them. i'll just keep spinning my wheels. :tongue: dennis

got the call saturday! car is ready for shipment. tried to contact tesla this am to wire them money but no dice. paper work moves slowly in this digital age. i'll try again tomorrow morning. delivery window is Dec 8 - Dec 22nd. (P1675).

ShortArc, how was the registry experience in worcester? i live in worcester so i'll be using that branch. are they going to have any EV plates left when i get there? dennis

That is awesome, Robert! haven't heard anything yet but i'm checking my email every six seconds. i'm going to stay optimistic and hope that they're going to put my car on your delivery truck. i'll keep you posted. (p1675 - silver, black leather interior, 85kwh, sound and tech package, air...
