Since 2010, I've spent hours (often hours per day) researching electric vehicles and Tesla in particular. The only upside to this, well, obsession (according to the wife) is investing early and holding forever. I've seen ALL the FUD. Read almost everything you can think of and then some...

Head on, other driver speeding and crossed center line and determined to be at fault. His insurance handling the claim. Tow lot appraisal states "repairable" and we would expect next steps to take to Tesla certified body repair for their opinion, and know one locally. Structural damage possible...

Looking to find a low 20k car. I can find Chevy Bolt in this category, but the cheapest Model S is around 30k. A S60 might be less. We had a 2013 Model S P85, sold for our Model X. Now I'm thinking of going back. Other than MCU, and no warranty...what issues would you expect? I'm not...

Hi folks, as so many of you are enjoying your new Model 3...and the Supercharging isn't free...have a look at our vacation rental South of Newport, OR which has its own HPWC. Cheers! Vacation home with HPWC now up for renting Oregon Coast

Demonstrative of the genius at Tesla, SpaceX, Boring and I firmly believe resides with Elon's vision because of what he has said and done for so many years: It's ALL tied together. Think: The Boring Co just stated they made their first tunnel for 1/100th of the cost of a subway. Look at how...

um...

Hi folks, as promised here is the link for information and booking our beachfront vacation home just South of Newport, Oregon. Our HPWC along with supercharging in Lincoln City, Woodburn and Eugene make the Coast totally easy now. House is located on a 10mi desolate stretch of beach between...

Hi folks. We are longtime Tesla owner/fans, braving the new world since our Model S 2012. We recently rebuilt a house on the Oregon Coast for a vacation rental and installed a HPWC to help all the Tesla owners out there. There are a number of other charging options to and from our house, but...

Overall, amazing car. I've posted elsewhere about all the great stuff. Just a few questions: - the Tesla app isn't unlocking the car about half the time. I use android, galaxy S7 and leave the app and bluetooth always on. I usually have to shutdown the app and reopen, or I can use the card...

Why has nobody asked about the black smaller Semi that was on stage???? Any info out there?

1. We owned a Model S P85 for 5 years, now a Model X. Our range on the S was 225 without "range charging" fully. We charged it only every other night, put 15,000 miles a year on it driving kids around town. It was more than enough. Mother in Law used this knowledge to snag a sweet S60, it's...

Not only because I'm selling one...and having this discussion over and over! Essentially for the same price you will get a 2012-13 with <50k miles and 4 year warranty or new with autopilot. Mine is a P85, so the way I see it (and also considering just keeping it) 1. more cargo space 2. Rear...

With all of the growth and changes, combined with HOAs and myriad building infrastructure, I'm looking for advice on solutions. A dedicated charging area near the meters/junction boxes? Running lines to each parking spot? Novel finance schemes to get a build out or add to it while growth is...

Now that the Model S has changed prices/configurations I think we know the bottom target where the S will overlap with the highest cost Model 3. For comparison: Model S 75kw 249 mi range Base price $69,500 So what are your predictions for the upper-end Model 3? We all know the first...

2012 P85 48k mi Blue in fantastic shape. 54k for TMC members

Listed at 57 because within 200 miles of me I seen nothing even close (only non P cars in the 2012-14 range listed 45 to 58k). I realize some are finding P85 for less than 50k. This is such a great car, and like the listing below me had door handles, visor, drive gear all changed free of...

In-laws have new Model S and are waiting a few months for condo install. Looks like J 1772 at World Trade Center and maybe electric avenue? Not sure buying the CHADeMO adapter worth it for just a few months. Any advice appreciated!

Moving on to a Model X. Our Model S has been very much loved. Has all options but high-fidelity sound, including rear facing seats, pano roof. Non-smokers, always garaged, no food/pets in vehicle allowed. Asking 55k. Available in early March.

Won't get an A in class but at least I have a place to store my thoughts. Why voters should care about climate change. The answer is not what you think.

So, reading a ton about the LG/GM Bolt pack battery approach and permanent magnet drive. Lots of great and not so great debates going on about which battery configuration, which drive will win out. Will other manufacturers want the LG battery/drive unit to swap into their vehicles. How this...

With all of the changes over the years I thought I'd give some feedback from a long-term owner. Our car is my wife's daily driver, shuttling 3 kids plus car pool using the rear facing jump seats. To say the car has been utterly life-changing is an understatement. Why? Never having to think...

So...BYD has the E6 in the USA NOW for fleets with 250 mi range at $48k, and built its companyinstead on fleet/bus vs. luxury cars like Tesla. (and their bus can go 750 miles...) And it's battery matches specs in 2016 of the panasonic/Tesla. And prices/range about to collide in 2017 with Model...

Our 2013 P85 with 31k miles just had the drive unit fail. We had experienced the "clunk" when lifting off acceleration before regen started; our SC was contacted and a 'fix' employed that took care of it. We were not informed of what the fix was. The "droning" at speed >60 began to get more...

PDX to Walla Walla is so easy now. We trip mode charged and hit the Dalles Supercharger. Stayed at Abeja, 100A Tesla HPWC and lodging on site. Beautiful property, lovely trip. Only issue we had was that with the new Beta Trip Planner leaving Dalles, we were routed to Ellensburg Supercharger...

Feel free to add your clarificaitons/corrections. I took a little liberty being a Tesla fan. 1811-1869 Oregon Trail, based on Lewis and Clark expeditions from 1804-1806, connects the US to the West, creating first transcontinental route of significance. It's epoch at 1846 was rapidly replaced...

It's now been over 2 months since our delivery, and while we love the car I'm getting very frustrated at the communication from service. I realize that they may wish to wait to provide all deliverables due to us at once, the simple fact is that it is ridiculous to not even have floor mats...

Reading more about when and how the "Google driverless car" might be expected to evolve. Realizing it is all conjecture, the timeline is eerily similar to that expected (ballpark) for the Gen III. Google using a lot of the Prius right now...is this a match made in heaven? Google tech, Tesla...
