    Torque Sensing Differential

    If you are spinning a wheel you are not really driving for efficiency, so it is being in-efficient for a very small amount of time at a moment that it doesn't really matter. My guess would be that a Locking Differential was not used for reasons of overall efficiency.

    Winter Tires - Michelin X-Ice Xi3 vs. Nokian Hakka R2

    As a person in the same climate, I have the nokians and I won't be putting my winter tires on until late November or early December just for the sake of tire wear and driving enjoyment. I have driven the Model S in the snow on the 21" rims and performance tires, it handles a lot better than...

    What will MX be cross shopped against?

    I reserved a Model X for my wife several months ago. We are also considering the x5 PHEV and the Range Rover Sport. For us it really depends on whether or not they build a supercharger in the Sheboygan area before we are asked to confirm our order.

    Michelin Pilot Sport 3

    I have a P85 with 21" Rims, and I replaced the continentals with about 8,000 miles on them. I now have with the PS3s with 5,000 miles on them, it looks likes they should last at least 15,000 miles. With the 30,000 mile pro-rated warranty that means I should be able to get 50% off my next pair...

    Punctured Tire

    You really shouldn't repair a ZR rated tire, I know from experience that tire shops by me won't repair them. Why risk damaging your $100k+ car or a $2000 rim over a $500 tire? Just buy a new one.

    Marcus Properties adds 13 HPWC at their Hotels

    I picked this up on my Google News feed. It looks like they own Hotels in Minnesota, Illinois, and Wisconsin that they have installed HPWCs at. This will be really useful when traveling. BizTimes: Milwaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin Business News | BizTimes

    Wisconsin Supercharger Discussion & Tracking

    Beaver dam seems like an odd choice. To me it would make much more sense to put one in Fondulac or Oshkosh. along 41. Personally, I am hoping we get a supercharger in the Sheboygan area soon.

    Madison & Pleasant Prairie Supercharger Availability

    I had the same problem with my charge port being unreliable, especially with my two HPWCs. I mentioned it to the service center during my annual inspection and they replace some of the parts and it works perfectly now.

    Madison & Pleasant Prairie Supercharger Availability

    Thanks for the feedback. We had a change of plans and ended going to Chicago for the weekend, stopped in pleasant prairie where there were 2 cars there (one ICE minivan, one tesla pulling in as we left). Great experience that exceeded my expectations, my car charged at 120kW.

    Madison & Pleasant Prairie Supercharger Availability

    I'm thinking about heading to Madison this weekend and to Chicago in the next week with my Tesla. Has anyone had any positive/negative experience at either supercharger. Should I be concerned with the availability of the Supercharger stalls?

    Charging in Kohler

The hotel is downtown, nice restaurants within walking distance (Hinterland, Titletown Brewery, Republic Chophouse, Black & Tan). I would call ahead to verify hours of availability...

    Any experiences with Escort Passport Max radar detector?

    My 9500ix didn't work through the windshield, I had to get the custom installed version. I think I paid around $2,000 for the Escort 9500ci installed and would highly recommend it. It is nice to have a radar detector with out looking at all the ugliness.

    Extended Warranty Going Up July 3, Will You Buy Now?

    Thanks for the heads up, I bought it last night. For customer service reasons, you would think they could at least send out an e-mail to let current owners know they were going to hike the price.

    Any volt owners that charge both cars?

    In Wisconsin we have time of use rates too, not as crazy as California but similar. I installed the 240v charger in my home when I got the Volt, and haven't really needed it except for the rare weekend runs as you mentioned. Just though I would give my opinion, what are they going to gain from...

    Any volt owners that charge both cars?

    I have a Volt and you do not need a 240v station, the car includes a 120v charger that you can plug into any wall outlet (15 amp circuit). I have used both, it takes about 4 hours to charge completely on 240v and 8 hours on 120v. If you plan on charging at night, the 120v charger should be plenty.

    S is in production + trying to switch from 19" to 21" wheels and told NO - frustrated

    I would think that once they make a routing and develop a parts list for you car it cannot be changed (resource planning and such). But they should be able to switch it out once it his the local service center, assuming the parts are available. I'm sure they will work with you, just give them...

    Model S Delivery Dates and Sequencing

    I live in Northeast Wisconsin and will be taking delivery at my home. I don't want to risk the drive with the high performance tires and any chance of snow (I want to wait until fall to get a winter rim/tire set). Plus, the range might be pushing it for my first drive. I must say, I am...
