BYD is down substantially I guess since the Buffett Bounce. I think they are positioning to be the low price battery and automotive competitor long term. Not Tesla quality but may be a big deal worldwide for small inexpensive cars, the huge China market and batteries. I am tempted to start some...

As you can see from my post count I lurk more than post but over the past 2+ years I have gotten to know a lot of owners and wannabees. We sort of came together last year with the possible license denial for the Service Center and Sales Office and I frequently see some of the same folks on...

I observe that there are not a lot of African Americans visible on screen. I am not proposing hiring unqualifed people based on race. However, i wanted to bring a young man to your attention. Joshua Dobbs is by all accounts the exact person you should consider and recruit. I do not know him...

First my bias, we have a classic MS P85 with 60K in nearly 3 years and I still just sit in it. We recently bought a used Volt to bridge until the M3 comes out for my wife. We probably would have bought the 2016 Volt if it hadn't been limited to a few states. I am speculating that the 2017 Bolt...

I continue to believe that Tesla designs supercharger routes out of Atlanta for the SE. I think that the Atlanta to St Louis route is obvious and needs only two SCs to complete. I originally thought one because I have a P85 but folks from MO have convinced me that there will be two. This seems...

How about those members near Knoxville do some sleuthing. The Chattanooga SC is about 200 miles from London KY and Knoxville splits that in half. The Knoxville location has been shown as "coming soon" for some time. Construction at Cincinnatti SC has begun. The missing link is Knoxville. No pun...

My CHAdeMO experience over several months is about 50% success rate possibly because of poor Blink chargers. I was also unable to use a new Chargepoint unit in Florida. Does anyone have any experience with the units in the Norfolk area, particularly the one at Bojangles?

They do exist! I saw a P85D at the Nashville store today. Also got a S85 loaner for my 37500 service. I cant believe some of the changes since I got my P85 in June 13. In particular the precursors to auto pilot were a big surprise. I couldnt figure out why I got a vibration like a rumble strip...

Taking my third long road trip in May. This one from Tennessee to Boston. Not worried about charging but I could use a little help with traffic. On Friday May 9 we will leave Jamestown VA about noon and get a short charge at Woodbridge then on to the Newark DE SC. If Woodbridge is not open yet...

I will be doing a East Coast road trip in May and will spend 2-3 nights in the Boston Area. I need a base hotel with charger to see the area but probably not downtown due to expense. Looking at Residence Inn type hotel. Any local advice? Thanks

Carbon Monoxide. How many people will die or have serious injury as a result of this unique risk factor for ICE? see this link for example http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2013/02/10/boston-boy-dies-carbon-monoxide-poisoning-after-shoveling-out-from-blizzard/dcSmZDfjRSohNDCsAdtBqM/story.html...

Back in HI again. Visiting Big Island and then Kaua'i. While driving my rental ICE down Saddle Road (opened yesterday) I wondered if anyone has driven a MS across the Big Island or up Mauna Kea. I couldn't help but think about the trip up and the regen down. I have separation anxiety and check...

Here I was a 60+ year old professional with a Nissan Altima until June 22, 2013. On that date "JOULED" arrived (Blk/Tan P85, pano, twin, air etc). My driving style has changed dramatically as I have regressed to an 18 year old driving a GTX Hemi. While I still drive carefully for the most part...

Charging my P85 in the wild. The preferred hotel is offering special arrangements for me this is what they are trying to help me with as opposed to a 110 outlet. What kind of receptacle would work and would adapter work? Their offer is below. However, I will be happy to provide, for your...

Going to FL in December via Nashville, Atlanta, Macon and Savannah (hope for SC around Savannah and down I-95 by then). I am looking for a hotel on the way (South of Atlanta to Macon) for overnite charging. I checked the various sites and it looks kind of bleak. Is there any local info I am missing.
