Does anyone know what version of Homelink would be in a May 2013 production Model S ? Apparently, Homelink transitioned from Version 3 to Version 4 in late 2011/ early 2012, so I am guessing that a 2013 Tesla Model S would have Version 4. Some forum posts I have read indicate that is the case...

After a nice drive from Parker to Longmont and back yesterday, I made my way through the Park Meadows shopping center to their four-bay SuperCharger to get a quick charge. When I got there, all of the bays were occupied. The SuperCharger bays at Park Meadows are very close to the food court...

I must say, Katie Spence really seems to not like Tesla. Actually, she probably dislikes TSLA more so than Tesla vehicles. http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2014/02/09/will-battery-recycling-help-tesla-motors-massive-s.aspx I am surprised she is not writing for Seeking Alpha. Jon Peterson...

One thing I have noticed over the past couple of weeks (at least from my own anecdotal evidence) is that more people have heard of Tesla and at least are aware of the fact that they make an electric car. Unfortunately, quite of few of the people who have just become aware of Tesla just know...

My wife and I made a quick little trip from Parker to the Tesla Supercharger at Silverthorne on Saturday. I had my Model S in the Denver Service Center this past week to get the tires rotated, take care of a couple of proactive TSBs, and get the 5.6 firmware installed. We averaged 360 Wh/mi...

I realize that many people say that environmental benefits are not one of the primary reasons they bought a Tesla. I am also aware that touting the green benefits of EVs is controversial, because a decent portion of the U.S. public, has been "brainwashed" by the likes of Fox News and the Koch...

Pretty nice to see a long piece like this on one of the national morning shows. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505266_162-57599474/elon-musk-tesla-to-make-affordable-electric-car-in-three-to-four-years/

One easy thing that Tesla owners can do as they go about their daily business, it to make a point of visiting and at least briefly charging from any public charging stations that are relatively close to where they live and work. If these stations are connected to a business, you should try to...

Colorado is one of the states that requires a front license plate on vehicles. Like many other Model S owners, I decided not to have the Service Center install the front license plate holder when I took delivery on May 3. They gave me the holder and they are happy to install it. I figured I...

This morning, just on a whim, we decided to find the nearest Walgreens that had an L2 charger, which happened to be at 16440 E. Arapahoe Rd., Foxfield, CO 80016 (http://www.recargo.com/sites/4889). It is just east of the intersection of Parker Road and Arapahoe, for people in the Denver area...

This is a pretty long story... My wife and I had an interesting road trip to Salida, CO this past weekend, going to the Colorado Brewer's Rendezvous. We drove down from Parker, CO on US-285, which was 151 miles. I had a range-charge in my P85 before we left, and we arrived in Salida with 107...

I am hoping to drive my Model S from Parker, CO to Salida, CO for the Colorado Brewer's Rendezvous on July 13 http://coloradobeer.org/calendar/17th-annual-colorado-brewers-rendezvous It is 151 miles on US-285. So far, I am not having any luck finding any L2 (or better) chargers in Salida...

It seems like a lot of people have financed their Tesla Model S purchase from places like PenFed and NFCU. I am a Marine Corps veteran, so I should be eligible to join either one of those. What are other options that people have been using? What do you think about going through Tesla/Wells...

I should be getting my red P85 in mid to late May. I live in Parker, CO, and I would like to drive from there to Topeka, KS (where I have some family) in early September. Looking at ChargePoint, Recargo, and CarStations, it seems to be a pretty vast wasteland for regular charging stations...

I have to finalize by Feb 13, and I have pretty much decided on all of my options. I am planning on getting a multi-coat Red P85 with 19" wheels, Tech package, Sound package, black leather, CF trim, the CF spoiler and the parcel shelf. The last decision is the roof choice. Pano roof or no pano...

There is a new and surprisingly good review of the Model S up on Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/07/tesla-model-s-review/#continued Engadget typically covers things like smart phones and tablets, so it is nice to see favorable coverage outside of car magazines.
