    OK.... I need someone A LOT smarter than me to explain this....

    My only speculation is that the nextera PPA includes firm requirements to deliver power to the utility that they can count on. If nextera's plant goes down they have to pay penalties to the utility. It is also a large block of energy coming from a specific location on their grid that they can...

    The charges you are paying the utility are for the electrical infrastructure they need to maintain to provide you power when the sun isn't shining.

    Used P85 pricing

    One thing that is different about the tesla used car market is that tesla raised their prices on their cars significantly, where I'm not aware of situations where other car mfgs have done the same thing. For example, I have a p85 with all the options except for the third row seats. I took...

    Rust on Brake Rotors

    Has anyone experienced the brakes sticking after parking the car overnight after a rainy day? I have to give the car some extra power to break them free to start moving. Could this be rust build up?

    Decreasing rated range.

    Thanks. Doesn't the graph with the dotted line show 307 as the rated range? If so, they should lower it to 290

    Second Fire cause by impact with a metal object. Recall necessary?

    Seems to me that the issue may be with insurance companies raising rates if debris on the road can cause the total loss of the car. I feel the car is safe for the occupants to get out of the car before the fire, which may not be the case with an ICE.

    Are new winter tire/wheel/TPMS combos from Tire Rack plug & play?

    I received the same wheels last week. I am wondering, were you able to use the Tesla center caps with the Rial center caps? If not, I wonder if there are blank gray center caps that can be used with the Tesla "T" stickers. THanks

    Parking sensor retrofit - $6000 ??

    Has anyone tried the following solution? nVISION 60100VA Back Up Sensor System. One of the challenges is that it needs a 12v power source. Has anyone removed a back tail light? most of my parking situations are straight on so i dont need four sensors spaced throughout the bumper. thanks

    My car's fuzzy range math

    I think the miles are lost per hour regardless of whether you are driving it, which i am hoping they fix at some point. i have an energy meter on the line with the charger and I am getting about 25% in losses compared to the miles/kwh on the car. i have a volt and the charging losses are only...

    They can't book the money they collect for prepaid o&m as current quarter revenue. They can book the cash but revenue will be booked over the period of the agreement.

    GM Working on a 200 Mile Range EV?

    I have a Volt and a P85. I can't get below 300whr/mile (3.33miles/kw) for my p85 for any decent duration when trying to drove conservatively compared to 4+ miles per kw for my volt (which is showing 48 miles for a charge charge now). I chalk it up to the p85 weighing a 1,000 lbs more. But I love...

    Sirius/XM reception issues???

    I agree with you. The reception for xm is much worse than my other cars. I live in a fairly wooded area. fm reception and am reception are lousy too. I am having the service center take my car for the day to put on the spoiler and check into the reception issues.

    I signed up for ranger service and they are coming to pick up my car at my house to put on my spoiler and deal with a few minor warranty items back at the service center.. The service mgr mentioned that he could do this since I have the unlimited ranger visits. So I inferred that if I hadn't...

    Any Charging Places Near Penn State University?

    I agree. I am really surpirsed by the lack of charging stations on college campuses given the PR they give to sustainability. I took a trip with my son to visit Trinity College in Connecticut and Lehigh University and neither had charging stations.

    Rear Cup holder ideas (so far)

    I am using a Hopkins EMIC-BLA Euro Mini Console (Black) $8 on amazon as temporary insert which is the perfect size. It just squeezes in the space on the back seat floor area under the rear vent, so that it doesnt move around.
