    Tesla Trade - Denver/St Louis

    I realize this is a bit last minute, but I'm visiting Denver by plane* next week, and I'm wondering if I could work out a trade so I wouldn't have to rent a silly gas car. I live in St Louis and own both a 2012 Sig Red P85 and a 2018 Black Model 3. Either one could be yours for a week whenever...

    Mapbox Wants To Build Better Maps For Autonomous Cars - Forbes

    Just read this article and I can't help but wonder if their "undisclosed auto partnership" will be Tesla. The quote below specifically mentions data coming from the car's cameras. Surely other auto companies have cars equipped with cameras, but naturally Tesla was the first one that came to my...

    Supercharger - Champaign, IL

    Tesla just updated their Supercharger map for 2015 (direct link) and removed most of the remaining sites, but added a handful, including Champaign. I tried searching permits online, but the results are limited to 20 per page, and the "next" link produced an error. I have a few friends in the...

    Tesla Model S outsold all other EV/PHEV models in the US for 12mo ending Sept 2015

    According to my calculations (using US-only data from insideevs.com), Tesla has now sold more Model S than any other plug-in has sold over the last 12 months. This data also shows that Sept also marked the first time Tesla accounted for >20% of all plug-in sales in the US over a 12mo period...

    Tesla has sold more plug-ins than Ford

    According to my calculations (using US-only data from insideevs.com), Tesla has now sold more plug-ins than Ford - 49,200 to 48,626 Granted, this was also true a year or so ago, but with Teslas sales continuing to climb, I don't see it reversing again anytime soon. Note that in these charts...

    New 'Destination Charging' page at teslamotors.com

    Nothing radical here, but it looks like Tesla is adding a separate page to describe the destination charging program, similar to the Supercharger overview page. Unfortunately there's no coming soon locations, or future maps, but it's still a nice map to show to people (i.e. prospective...

    Fiat Chrysler CEO met with heads of Apple and Tesla Motors - Financial Post

    It's almost as though they're trying to imply that he wants/wanted to acquire Tesla. Some of the quotes seem to lose context without knowing the questions that were asked though. It'd be interesting to hear him expand on some of it, but I doubt that will happen. Fiat Chrysler CEO met with...

    Is Tesla Motors Inc's Electric Car Truly Disruptive? (Motley Fool)

    The crux of the article is that Clayton Christensen has said Tesla is more of a "sustaining innovation" rather than a "disruptive innovation", but then, he said the same thing about the iPhone, apparently. The article doesn't necessarily agree with him though, in fact it presents a...

    Effingham Supercharger (unofficial) grand opening!

    With the proliferation of Superchargers across the country, there seems to be less (official) fanfare associated with the opening of new locations, but that doesn't stop us from creating our own celebrations! The St Louis Tesla Enthusiasts are organizing a lunch this Saturday in Effingham at...

    Energy Consumption per mile (Wh/mi) map

    This is based on Leaf data, but I'd imagine you could scale it quite easily to the Model S by using the EPA MPGe ratings for each car. I guess this goes to show why Florida is such a big market for Tesla. :) Source: Real-World Nissan LEAF Fleet Data Reveals...

    I decided to post this here rather than hijack a thread about a Supercharger in South Carolina, where I'm sure nobody wants to hear about a midwest baseball rivalry. I have to spread some Reputation around before giving it to drsrichardson again, so I'll just say... Hahahahaha! As a Cards...

    Head of EV sales/strategy for BMW interview with AutoGuide

    Referring to their upcoming DC chargers: “I don’t think [Tesla is] going to be happy with how quickly these things roll out.” I can't decide whether this guy's comments about their charger being a "game changer" are laughable or just sad. True, the ability to "deliver an 80% charge in...

    Which firmware version are you running?

    A week ago, I thought I was one of only a handful still on 4.5, but today it sounds like quite a few people are. I'm just curious how far along Tesla is in their rollout of upgrades to 5.x.

    Trip Meter vs Energy Graph Average

    Lately I've been paying close attention to the Wh/mi number on the "Since Last Charge" trip meter as I hit 5, 15, and 30mi, and I've been comparing it to the Wh/mi average displayed on the Energy Graph at the same time, and there seems to be a disconnect. Does anybody know if this is expected...

    Mahomet, IL

    I made my first road trip this past weekend from Belleville, IL to Mahomet, IL and back. Visited a friend for their 1yr old's b-day party. My friend was excited to see the S, so he actually installed a 14-50 for me in his garage. The trip went pretty well, but the most remarkable part was...

    Delivery Celebration

    Has anybody planned a party/celebration around their delivery? From the sound of it, the timing might make that pretty difficult. I'm really excited about getting my car, and I think a party might be appropriate for that, but at the same time, it sounds a little pretentious to invite people...
