    I got my WiFi to work, finally, only if I enable "gf-brcm" mode on 2.4G band on AP.

    Northwest Tesla Auto Insurance

    AllState does cover Tesla. I have coverage from them just fine. My price for Model S (85, not D, not P) is $1388 for 1 year. We are in 40s, no "teen" drivers etc. NO rental coverage (I got other car, fortunately), $500 deductible for collision, $100 for comprehensive deductible, 500k...

    テスラ モデルS/Xなどについて日本語で (Japanese language thread)

    you could buy UMC from US with 120v plug. If you have those 3prong (NEMA 5-15, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector#mediaviewer/File:NEMA_simplified_pins.svg ), you can probably use 100V JPN plug (I think). But it will be really slow to charge. Do you have 200v options in typical...

    A Day Trip from Bellevue to Vancouver BC in my MS-85kWh

    I drive just like any other car (meaning I go with traffic flow, perhaps a bit faster than the rest). I am typically in the carpool lane or driving after a fast car around me. I have 85.

    A Day Trip from Bellevue to Vancouver BC in my MS-85kWh

    +1. I have done the same I must agree. Bellevue/Seattle to Vancouver BC drive is easy one. I also do day trips to Portland where i'd park the car in one of free chargers while we take street train with a day pass. I love those superchargers.

    Combating LED Headlight/Taillight Strobing

    Many LED devices (alarm clock etc) does the same. that is to reduce power and heat from LED. It also reduces numbers of components needed to build complex display. If you have a decent camera, try taking a picture of LED clock at shutter speed of 1/250 or higher. You will see that only...

    Motor Whine Gone: Bizarre, awesome side effect of 5.8.8??

    Well, I knew about this report and was paying extra attention to noise last few days. it's actually colder today for me here. personally, I don't think it's noise from the motor itself but an inverter or other items associated with it. There's conversation from DC to AC and software can take...

    Motor Whine Gone: Bizarre, awesome side effect of 5.8.8??

    I just had mine upgraded as well to 5.8.8. It's not gone but it is much less/quieter now especially when I am driving around 5 - 30 kw.

    VisibleTesla

    this 03 release does not read prior trip and other data (at least on my Win7VM). I have older copies (01 & 02) and they don't have issues reading older data. My preference for a folder location is to use default location so that data should be read across upgrades...

    Firmware 5.6

    With new firmware, tunein appear to be changed. On some stations that has high bit rates, Tesla now says I need to use WiFi to connect for those stations. I also have stations that worked ok no longer working under 5.6 giving me something like 'unable to play' error.

    energy usage in colder temp...

    For those who have had MS since last winter, I got a question. I have mine since mid summer and I've been averaging around 300-320wh/mile during regular commute. ever since temperature stared to go around 50ish, energy usage had increased to around 320-350 for the same drive. Oh, don't forget...

    Looking for your stories: funny/touching experiences with your car

    ok, I just encountered mine. I was driving on 520 (W) going around 65ish. not a bad traffic etc. just a regular drive. Here comes a blue civic and he had to squeeze in front of me with (I'd say) about 10 inch of clearance between cars. And it was doing nice merging either & was no reason to...

    EV friendly hotels: Portland?

    ya... wireless connection (app from cell phone) worked about half (or less) the time. when it does not work, it could not basically talk to the car. But, being blink charger, it will text you, if someone is to unplug it.

    EV friendly hotels: Portland?

    Heathman does not have parking at all but do have valet paring which they use near by parking. that near by parking do have blink chargers. When I stayed there a few weeks ago, I was able to use that blink chargers (which you pay). For EV, they told me to follow a car they also happen to be...

    Overnight Charging Locations in Vancouver, BC?

    I was able to open an account ok, after emailing the issue to them. You do need some human intervention to complete the process. I'm now waiting for a card in mail. As for Vancouver trip... I'll probably use the super chargers that are yet to open, since I wont be gong there until August...

    Handicapped & EV stations - WA law?

    I wish they install those chargers with a long cable in between those 2 spots. I get that some handicapped person may want to charge their EV. I think it's totally fair. but that should not exclude others from using chargers, if that charger is not being used. If they have installed in...
