We live high in the mountains not far from Big Bear Lake, California, and as we park outdoors, it's a given that we are going to be tracking mud, snow, and grime into our cars. As a result, we value having durable, rugged floor mats that are easy to clean while protecting the floor. We were...

We have a property (small A-frame cabin right next to our primary residence) on which we would like to install solar. I've been debating whether we should just install traditional solar panels, or perhaps hold out for a Solarglass Roof. In terms of aesthetics, Solarglass would be much nicer...

"God, Guns, and America" -- Yes, Tesla already has a large number of American customers who worship God, desire to have the means to physically defend their families and/or go hunting, and love their country. Many others with those values will be eager to check out the Tesla Pickup, and they...

The Powerwall is a great product and I have high hopes for the future of battery storage at personal residences. Powerwalls can increase our consumption of solar energy, minimize our use of expensive peak power, and provide valuable backup services. For most people, the existing Backup-only...

Here in the US for ITC (Investment Tax Credit) compliance, Tesla has programmed all solar-coupled Powerwalls to charge only from solar and not from the grid, the only exception being relatively infrequent Storm Watch emergencies. It is therefore in the interest of solar/Powerwall users to have...

Our newly-installed dual Powerwall system seems to be working well, but I have one concern. I'd like to be able to keep the average charge in a more optimal range for battery longevity while still using the grid to charge our EVs at night. Yes, I know there's a ten year warranty, but I'd prefer...

Tesla's Supercharger map shows a location in Highland, CA coming in 2018. :) Highland is adjacent to the 210 freeway, up against the San Bernardino Mountains. State route 330 climbs the mountain from Highland and is the most direct route to Big Bear Lake and to other "elevated" destinations...

I'd like to purchase a new or used (in great condition) Wall Connector, second generation only (from 2016 - ), with 24' cable. Unfortunately, the online Tesla store won't process my billing address (a PO box) or my home address, and when I tried to raise this issue, all I got was a generic form...

Our church is considering installing a couple of Level 2 (240V) J-1772 EVSEs and making them available to the public. Due to the potential for abuse of "free" charging, however, the consensus unfortunately seems to be that we need to accept payment for charging. The challenge here is that...

Great to see this progress! Next, Tesla needs to allow PW2 owners to customize the time period during which to draw power from the battery. While we don't generate enough solar energy to eliminate grid usage, we want to be self sufficient during "peak" hours, which are 2pm - 8pm on our TOU rate...

Just saw this: Green Commuter Launches Tesla Model X Vanpool Service - socaltech.com While it won't be cheap to use the Model X to serve long-distance commuters, the low cost of "fuel" should help. I think this company (Green Commuter - Be Part of Something Big) is counting on serving commuters...
