I recently got a new job (yay me!). However, it entails traveling away months at a time (yay and nay). What should I do with my car? I have no plans to sell the car (unless I really have to). The stretches in between being away and being at home could be up to 6 months, so the car would need...

Argh. so I committed the cardinal sin of spilling a fast food soft drink all over my passenger seat. All I had were napkins and I was nowhere close to home. So I wiped up what I could and by the time I got home, the liquid was all dried up from being out in the sun. got most of the sticky...

Yesterday something unexpected happened. I was driving on surface streets approaching a freeway on-ramp (the circular kind). Typically, as I begin my entry onto the on-ramp, I release the acc. pedal (going about 45 mph) and ride through to the bottom. This time, half-way down the ramp (with...

One year ago today, I picked up my black beauty from the Costa Mesa SvC. Like so many before me (and everyone after) I was giddy with anticipation. I did not know what I had gotten myself into, had a lot of uneasiness with purchasing a car from a new company with possibilities that it may go...

Hey Gang, Sorry for not posting sooner. Work has been killing me. Plus.. had a bday, and Easter is coming up, and... Looks like SJC won't be ready this month. Chance for end of month or early May... we'll see. The SD group has an all EV brunch at Hometown Buffet on Saturday April 26th...

Not sure if this is the right location, but there is a news article about the potential of the Tesla car door handle to be hacked. Tesla car doors can be hacked - Mar. 31, 2014 I hope this is just an April Fool's joke, but if it isn't, thought I'd have it posted. Probably just need a...

So I saw a guy pull up into a parking lot of a foodcourt in a strip mall in his new-ish MS60 (I was on foot heading to the same foodcourt for lunch). So I followed him into the foodcourt, allowed him to order his food and approached him. Asked how he was liking his car so far. He gave me a...

Hi All, For the next OC Tesla Meet, I would like to have a Sunday Brunch at the Orange County Mining Company. It is on a hill so should provide some great views and backdrops for photos with our cars :) The parking lot appears to be of decent size as well. What: Sunday Champagne...

Just wanted to know if anyone out there would be interested in a Vegas trip in April. I am trying to organize a group outing there, with group rates. I have a sign-up sheet to determine what weekend would best work for everyone before we go about booking rooms, etc. Need at least 10 rooms to...

To start, I originally ordered the car with the clear bra Tesla installs, but was unhappy with it. With so many rave reviews on XPEL, I decided to have my car 90% covered in XPEL Ultimate. Anyways, during my annual service, the SvC scratched up my nose cone that actually scruffed up the...

The next OC Tesla meet will be by sign-up only. It is a tech session on how we as owners can take care of our beauties. This will be a hands-on training event. This event will be held at Glistening Perfection in Aliso Viejo, and we are limited to 10 people due to space. We will have the tech...

I just recently completed a road trip from Southern California to Napa, with a stay-over in San Francisco with a friend. I hope this info helps folks out there with 60's doing road trips. Here is the data that I collected using the Supercharger network, and charging in SF and Napa. Keep in...

Hi Mods. Is it possible to create a sticky for us 60kwh owners? A lot of the postings are geared towards those with 85kwh batteries who make long road trips. But it would be nice for us 60-ers to have a go-to section to help us plan our road trips (mentality/planning will be different)...

Hi All, Anyone have any suggestions on SF hotels to spend a couple days in, with garage parking and EV charging? Of course, the room should be affordable (is anything in SF affordable anymore???) I guess I could also entertain hotels outside the city and BART in. any tips/suggestions would...

Hey gang. Pencil this in your calendars. The next OC Tesla Meet will be a brunch to celebrate the holidays (and our cars). Please let me know if you will be attending (and how many guests) so that I can get an accurate headcount for the restaurant. Please let me know no later than...

Hey OC (and surrounding) Tesla Folks. The next OC Tesla Meet will be on Saturday November 30th at 1pm. It will be held at the same location as last time (sorry, end of year mad rush at work so don't have much time scoping out new venues and planning, plus it is central, has a lot of parking...

Has anyone noticed drivers of cars from oncoming traffic (for me usually one lane roads or parking lots) pointing their finger at you as they drive by? I have.. About 5 times so far that I've paid attention. Some arent even looking at me as they drive by pointing. Is this an anti- gesture...

Hi Folks, the next planned OC (and neighbors) meet will be a luncheon on Saturday 9/28/2013 at 11 am. Because there is a National Plug-in Day in Long Beach, the location will be at Bella Terra in Huntington Beach for those who wish to jot (zoom?) between the 2. More than likely at California...

Thought I'd throw out a recent roadtrip I made in my 60. Overall, it covered 155 miles (based on google maps) heading to 6 different stops before heading home. approximately 110 miles was freeway driving. Started the day with a ranged charge (204 rated miles). First leg was 10 miles city, 20...

I recently had my car paint protected with XPEL Ultimate (front and rear bumpers, full hood, A-pillar, full doors, front and rear fenders). From what I could tell the installation looked great (never had it done before, so no experience of what was a poor, good or great installation). However...

Just wondering :biggrin: I'm just there for the day on Saturday.

should we have a sticky on the etiquette of charging in the wild? will people follow the rules/suggestions? Here are some examples: 1. Only park in an EV Charging spot if you intend to charge your car. 2. When plugged in, leave info on your charging timelines (when you anticipate being done...

I am going to get my car wrapped with XPEL Ultimate film. Do/Should I get the car detailed first? the installer just said to have it washed the night before, and that he would fix minor blemishes with a clay bar. He did mention not to buff any areas. Thanks for any advice.

Just got an email that Buellton and Atascadero SC stations are now open up the 101 Freeway in Cal.

So, I've been trying to save money so that I can get my S fully covered with paint protection (and window tinting). Well with this deadline of July 3rd to purchase the ESA, something I was hoping to put off for a year or 2, which would you pick? I can only pick one or the other with the funds...

I have had my Model S for 2+ months, and I purchased the paint armor (bra) from Tesla. I now feel like it isn't enough. Is it too late to consider putting paint armor on the entire car? I probably have small dings and scratches in certain places, and I now have the CA HOV lane stickers on the...

Seems I read about other cities having group meets. is there a group for the OC? Do we have enough peeps?

My friends and I are going to Palm Springs (in around Rancho Mirage) for an extended weekend in a few weeks. My friend made a reservation on a house rental. He does not know the electrical layout and doesn't know if the garage will have any outlets other than the standard 110v (unless it is...

Howdy folks. Thought I'd join in on the introductions. I read up on Tesla and the Roadster a while back and thought "Oh cool an EV that can speed." I am a bit of a speedster and am lucky i've gotten only 2 speeding tickets in my life. When the Model S came out, I thought "oh nice, an EV sedan...
