    2012 P85 Model S - SF Bay Area

    I recently purchased a new 2017 100D S and I’m now selling my original 2012 Metallic Blue P85 Model S, the best car I’ve ever owned. :) I’m the original owner and the car has been very well maintained and is in excellent condition. The car has 91k miles and I’m asking $46k or best offer. The...

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    Hi all, Now that the excitement of the Tesla D announcement is over, I wanted to provide an update on this project. I apologize for not giving more frequent updates, but life threw me a few curveballs late last year that required some focused attention. The project has been on the back...

    Anyone else get this gift certificate for jeans from Tesla?

    I received one today as well. I was thinking it was legit from Tesla (I had just taken my car in for service), until I saw the spend $250 to save $100, and the whole V12 engine thing. Postmark is also wrong. My guess is that this company obtained the data from the California DMV. Given a...

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    Unfortunately, I've been busy on other projects the past month. Road trip mode is still in development, and I haven't had time to test thoroughly (which requires me to take a few road trips myself). I expect to have more time in August to work on this. :) As others have suggested there are...

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    I PMed you with info on your vehicle. A lot of vehicles had errors over the past few nights. Several dozen vehicles had errors last night, as Tesla's servers were down. So there will be some gaps in the data for a number of vehicles for a couple of days.

    Model S REST API

    I'll keep an eye out. I should also mention I'll be wearing a red t-shirt that says "tripography" on the front and back in case you are looking for me.

    Model S REST API

    FYI, I'll be "hosting" a lunch table tomorrow at TESLIVE to discuss the Model S programming APIS. If you are attending please join me to discuss the APIs, share projects/ideas, or otherwise "geek out" on Model S technology.

    It's a post like this that makes me realize just how much of TESLIVE I'm missing (or not) by being local in the Bay Area and not staying at the hotel. ;)

    Minor Rear end damage

    I wouldn't trust their quote on the phone. I was given multiple different verbal quotes that were all over the map. It wasn't until they actually ordered the part and I took it to service that I got the "real" quote. I also thought the same thing on labor, two small bolts, no big deal. It...

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    I'll be at TESLIVE this weekend. I would love to meet up with anybody who is using tripography and hear any feedback or suggestions for the site. To make it easy to find me, I'll be wearing a red t-shirt that says "tripography" on it. :)

    Minor Rear end damage

    I had similar damage on my vehicle as my wife likes to driver over curbs in our Model S. To be fair, she prefers driving much smaller cars. :) Here was our bill from the Fremont Service Center: As you can see, almost half the expense is labor. :(

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    Yes, I think I need to dynamically resize the buckets based off the sample (and screen) size. It is a bit misleading now with 200+ being the tallest bucket. It is on my very long to do list. :)

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    I'm starting to add some aggregates vehicle stats on tripography's home page. As I add more vehicles I will continue adding more stats. But here is the distribution of all daily driving distances for all vehicles so far (currently 65 vehicles being tracked). Lots of road trips of 200+ miles...

    Model S REST API

    All North American vehicles report distance units in miles via the API. The miles/km conversion is performed in the user interface. When Tesla starts shipping vehicles in other regions (e.g. Europe) I'll be curious to see if they stick with this method, but I imagine they probably will.

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    This has already been beaten to death in this thread. I wish Tesla had a way to provide this data without sharing your TM account info, but they don't currently. If you're not comfortable providing your TM credentials, then don't use the site. It's pretty simple. Tripography is currently...

    A quick update. I've sent out a large number of invites over the past 24 hours. If you have requested an invite prior to June 18 or PMed me, you should have received one. You may want to check your email spam filter if you did not receive one and should have. The remaining invites should go...

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    I'm back home after a nice relaxing vacation in Hawaii. :) While I was gone, tripography has amassed 70+ invite requests, so I have quite a backlog to work through over the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping to hit 100 vehicles before TESLIVE, so there are probably only 15 or so slots still...

    Introducing tripography.com - Track your Road Trips and Daily Drives

    Yes some vampire losses are possible, but I would not say they are "huge". This is why I've designed the site's features to avoid frequently querying the car. For example, to measure daily driving distances requires querying the car only once per day. Currently between 12-1am (in the car's...

    Model S REST API

    Yep, that is how I get the odometer data. And the streaming API definitely requires a little more effort and thought to use successfully. I wish this data was available in the drive_state command and also displayed in the mobile app. (hint, hint to any Tesla employees reading...)

    Tripography Update TMC, thanks again for the interest in tripography. Tripography is currently gathering data from a dozen different vehicles and I've just sent the final batch of invites out for the week. I'm trying to keep it under 20 vehicles for the next couple of weeks, since I'll be...

    I wanted to give a quick update based on all of the messages I have received over the past 36 hours. First, thanks for the overwhelming interest in the site. Response has been much better than I expected. I've received dozens of PMs (sorry, I still haven't gotten back to all of you), over 30...

    That is a great test case! I may have to add you to the list, just for the challenge. :) Yes, I agree 100%. I would prefer not to deal with passwords and instead have Tesla support a proper 3rd party authentication/authorization system like OAuth that is commonly used by sites like Facebook...

    Greetings fellow TMC members, For a couple of months now, I've been working on a website to track various vehicle stats for the Model S.

    Tesla Motors Announces Offerings of Common Stock and Convertible Senior Notes

    +1 I had the exact same thought. The shorts, ironically, created a situation that enhanced the stability and longevity of the company. In fact, I bet more than a few of the buyers of the secondary will be existing shorts covering positions, in effect, directly paying off the DOE loan that was...

    Free advertising - money.cnn.com

    Overall positive article regurgitating old news. But Peter just couldn't resist adding a little dig at the end (emphasis added): Completely unnecessary commentary from the author of the article. Awww, CNN, what happened to you? I remember when you used to just report the news. :(

    What is Tesla's upcoming 'under your nose' announcement?

    Yes, I've been reading them for a while as well. But, that was a good catch, I did miss the *will* part in your quote from the latest filing (which I haven't read yet). I still remain skeptical of the whole battery swapping concept. They must be partnering with somebody who has a lot of...

    What is Tesla's upcoming 'under your nose' announcement?

    I'm not a big believer in the whole battery swap idea. Compared to superchargers, the capital costs would be significantly higher, the operating/maintenance costs would be higher, and there are many unknowns that add risk including wear/tear on the batteries, the pack connectors (both...

    It may or may not be a "scam". But it is certainly not what I would call a professional offering, and I would not personally use it. Their terms of service and privacy policy were certainly not reviewed by a lawyer and do not mention any aspect of your vehicle's data. Also, this is a strange...

    Newbie Options Trading

    Yes, if I were buying right now (and I wouldn't), I would most likely buy the 40 strike. I say "most likely" because I have my own toolset I've developed over time for modeling LEAPs, so I usually run a quick sanity check based on the current pricing info. But 9 times out of 10, the...

    Newbie Options Trading

    As with anything in life, timing is everything. So yes, I would wait for a good entry point. Generally that is after a pullback in the stock, which will happen, as it has a very good run recently. The earnings call will probably be a catalyst for a pullback, as they have already pre-announced...

    N.J. bill will start taxing electric cars per mile driven.

    Whenever I read about states trying to impose an EV mileage tax, I just cringe at their ineptitude. I completely agree that there should be a usage tax for road use, but this is not the right time or way to go about it. Many people do not realize that in the US the gas tax is paid by the...

    What to do if (epic?) short squeeze takes place?

    I agree with luvb2b, et al., we are not going to have an explosive short squeeze that causes the stock price to rocket up in a short period of time. Just look at the history of short interest compared to the stock's trading history. For example, we had a reduction in short interest between...

    Tesla's new Strategy?!?!?

    I don't think it's that crazy at all. At least not as crazy as building a rocket company from scratch to fly to Mars. ;) I agree my idea is unlikely, but it occurred to me after a recent road trip using the superchargers. My rationale is below. Elon is clearly trying to get the monthly cost...
