Haven't really documented it here, but last year my son, who lives in North Carolina, challenged me to do all 50 states in one year. So, I took the challenge. Did 48 in my Model 3 and flew to Anchorage then changed planes to Honolulu. That last part almost didn't happen as I got a cold and was...

Used to look forward to updates. Our first Tesla was in 2013. Updates were amazing - like Christmas. Added a second Tesla in 2017 and replaced the first one in 2018. Went through many minor changes, but the major ones were horrifying. And with no notice. Get up in the morning to go somewhere...

Did 45 states of my 50 state challenge by my son to do all 50 this year. With 3 down previously (Washington, Oregon, and California), that makes 48. This is the list (in order) of the 45 which took about 4 weeks Nevada Idaho Montana Wyoming South Dakota North Dakota Minnesota Wisconsin Iowa...

Why, while on a trip, will Tesla halt charging. I got notified of non payment for charging fees? My card was American Express. I checked their site and all charges were paid except the last 2 days which show pending. AMEX said pending can take several days. Fine... but I can be stuck out on the...

Always exciting to have a cop on your tail and this happens.....

my son challenged me. It took my lifetime to finally do it (70+), but now, my son (who was with me for #50) has challenged me to do it again - in one year. So - looking at routes and may split it into 2 trips (in my M3). Will also require a third trip (Alaska/Hawaii) via air. In late April...

My registration is now higher than my insurance * * your rates may vary

Been about a month. The rear view goes dark (and occasionally right & left go out separately). Made appt for service - took it in. Was told could be the cameras have a 'memory' problem where the image 'burns in'. Uhhhh... burns in as dark? News to me - although I have been out of electronic...

You know... the ones where there are actually 2 on each side. This is so you can swing one over to the side window.... and still have one for the front window. Not sure about the rest of the world - but where I live the sun is ALWAYS low and positions itself at my left (right in Aussieland and...

Missed Hawaii this year - everyone knows why. But will be back, hopefully next Spring or late Spring. We have a time share on Kauai and would like to know if there are rentals available. And, of course destination chargers.

I looked but couldn't find any info here. In 2 weeks will be going from Sheridan, Wy to Red Lodge, Mt. But not through Billings - towards Cody using mostly Hwy 14. ABRP says I can make it, but thinking of going as far as Cody before heading north to Red Lodge. But, would feel better if I can...

Took a road trip today. Haven't been out for any distance for awhile. But today, put a little over 200 miles on. Started out fine first few miles on the freeway started using Autopilot - worked fine - let it go, turning on and off for about 60 miles. Then went thru mts - twisting, hazardous...

My wife's MS 100D (her 2nd MS) which has 51k miles in 15 months has been tripping the Tesla home charger. Our power has always been iffy and normal charge would be set to 40 Amps, but with her previous Model S (185k miles in 5 years) we lowered it to 30 Amps because our power would drop below...

Tomorrow is my Model 3's two year birthday. Having Teslas since 2013 has been fun, well no - exhilarating most of the time. But, this Christmas update brought me... "Open Glovebox" And for a few frozen microseconds of anticipation - nothing. But then, there was that click. It was like the...

In other words, I curb rashed my wheels and am thinking of replacing them - but love the function of the Aerowheels. Will they fit on any wheels the same size or do I need to get new wheels from Tesla?

.... I used to walk out to my M3, flip the door handle - door would disengage - get in, put foot on brake, select forward/reverse and then I was off to my destination. But - for over two months - 95% of the time, no door handle response!! I have to pull out my iPhone, select my wife's MS, wait...

<My wife (on her 2nd model S) went out to shop with the grandson on Saturday (Costco). After shopping came to the car - it unlocked - however the screens did not boot up. So, of course, she immediately started a 'hard' reboot. No response. After 20 minutes of trying she called Mobile Service...

Just replaced our over 5 yr old MS. When we purchased it new, we ran a 6 gauge (about 100 ft) from our panel to the garage and connected to 50 amp. (placed sub panel in garage) We used this with an HPWC and all was well for a few months - but one day it downgraded to 30 amps (instead of 40) and...

My Model S consistently shows about 10 degrees warmer than my Model 3. Both cars parked in garage next to each other. No climate control is on. Day or night. Both cars are plugged in, timed to start charge 3 hours from now (but won't because set to 90%), and are at 90% charge. (different...

Asks for name & password Delivery yesterday - a zoo. But first thing my wife noticed driving home was no Slacker. Do we need to subscribe now or just something Delivery forgot to do.

Planning a 3000 plus mile road trip with my M3 (Main goal is to go to Montana being the only state I have not been to). Leaving in less than 2 weeks. Anyway, almost totally on the Supercharger route and am looking to make use of all I pass - maybe skip occasionally. My question here is...

Went out this morning for a short errand (and a hearty balanced breakfast of a bagel). Didn't bother to put iphone on the mat - short trip. After stopping at first location and coming back, decided to pre-order my coffee (next stop) but my phone was dead. Musta forgot to plug in overnight. Had...

Driving along listening to Streaming... Suddenly the FM appears!! Surprise !!

In a few hours I will be taking delivery of our second Tesla. Makes no sense that I can't sleep. I've picked up several new cars in my lifetime. Maybe there's some malady about electric cars that affects the brain. The first Tesla - same symptom - like a little kid awaiting Santa. It's...

Is there an 'official' pick up/delivery check list available for the M3 like we had for the MS?

Finally - my config invite. Delivery in 4 weeks.

Sorry. But you've got the Hard Eight BBQ. California can't do BBQ.

Has anyone noticed that Tesla went over 1000 Supercharger locations this week? Way to go Elon!!!

Looks to be here at Harden Ranch Plaza. Several choices to eat, across Main St from Northridge Mall. Close to US 101 Boronda Rd exit.

uhhh.... no wait...... That's Papa John Pizza sorry

Probably not unusual, but the comment from the officer was "The problem with you Tesla people is you need to put on the front license plates, quit tinting the windows, and show all your HOV stickers." Interesting attitude from a local cop where the Tesla tax is probably substantial due to the...

Just curious about Elon's statement about engineering the sensors to be able to 'see' through metal. He was speaking of the side collision avoidance capability. My question is - has he eliminated all 'button' sensors?

So a $450 CHAdeMO adapter equates to how many tanks of gas?

With all the revisions of 6.1 (I have no idea how far behind my S is), I have a feeling 6.2 is about to be born.

I drive down the coast of Central California often. One loses 3G quite readily and I have noticed that my maps go haywire - sometimes the car spins on the Nav screen. I know that 3G was required for map updating, but I have the Tech pkg - I was under the impression that Maps were loaded onto...

Saw a car carrier load of Model S's today turning off southbound US 101 at hwy 152. Interesting that there were no markings on the back (60, 85, P85, 85D, P85D, etc). Something new?

Took these today.... SC?

Yes, it was sad. But guess which - excuse garage - very old.
