My son lives in Tallahassee and sent me these pictures yesterday: Looking forward to it.

It's up on Tesla's "Find Us" page.

Larry: Lake City shows as online at Superchargers Would love to go to the ribbon cutting. I'm leaving the country on business Monday, the 25th. What is the chance of it happening Fri, Sat, or Sunday? Anyone want to go up this weekend? Bob

Wet a microfiber cloth in a bucket of hot water. Fold into quarters and lay the wet cloth over the bug splat. Give it a minute or two and the bug splat will come off without scrubbing. This re hydrates the bug juice and makes it wipe right off. Works great with Florida's love bugs.

I'll drive down from St Pete. My wife is working Saturday, so it'll be just me. Looking forward to meeting you all.

April 26 works for me.

I have family in Boone and would love to visit this summer. Thanks for making your charger available!

My wife and I have just returned from a 800 mile Florida road trip in our Model S #16924. We were able to charge up to 266 miles before departure. It was only the third time we've done a range charge, the others charged up to about the same. We charged up to 260 miles at the St Augustine...

I came up with this on my OP-1 mini synthesizer. https://soundcloud.com/bobhodgen/ev-warn Trying to make it reminiscent of the Jetson's car sound mixed with a back up warning. Hopefully audible without being obnoxious or threatening.

To me it looks like they could be looking at the area in front of the car. There is what looks like drywall or insulation on the floor next to the car. Could have have been an electrical problem inside the wall or a space heater which got too hot or was knocked over and had nothing to do with...

Very nicely done video! Good luck at Daytona.

I'm probably one of the few Tesla owners who's a Union member. I'm proud to be Union, and I'm proud to have been on strike. I strongly feel that labor has the fundamental right to organize. Over the last 30 years Union membership has declined while the middle class is in danger of extinction...

To me the Exxon ad and video were wrong on so many levels. They're bragging about the efficiency of gas in terms of weight to energy. How come, despite carrying around big heavy batteries, EVs are four times more efficient than gas burners? i made a quick and dirty YouTube video to make this...

I think I fixed the image. Had a great trip. Came home yesterday and averaged 301 w/h per mile at 65 and 70 mph. Did much better than expected considering the relatively cool 54 degree temp when we started. The outlets appear to be 5-20 type 20 amp 120v. They were installed upside down. I...

We are staying at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando. When we checked in we asked the valet if we could find a place to plug in. He directed us to a row in the parking lot with a 120v plug behind each space and invited us to plug in. He said that they have had...

Vote here for Cnet Car of the Year: Vote for the Tech Car of the Year | The Car Tech blog - CNET Reviews Tesla has the lead so far.

Where were you headed? PEK?

Nice write up. Thanks for sharing the info.

Thanks. Sorry, I'll be out of town on the 21st.

Our new tag came today!

A battery of Teslas. A battery is a combination of more than one cell.

I edited my post to remove the offending remark. My point is that I think the petition is adding to Tesla's problems at a time we need to circle the wagons and show our support.

I will NOT be signing the petition. I can't tell any difference at all in the car at highway speed, either in range, or handling. I'm willing to cut Tesla some slack while they deal with the negative PR from the fires. Publicizing this petition doesn't help Tesla in their efforts.

If you're making a trip where the added drag by not lowering .79 inch at speed will make a difference you're cutting it too close. I doubt you'd be able to tell the decreased range without repeated tests to eliminate all of the other variables like speed, wind, slope, temperature, barometric...

Tesla's in kind of a "dammed if I do and dammed if I don't" situation here. If they do nothing owners and others will complain that Tesla has to address the problem in the name of safety. The negative press continues. If they act, as they apparently have, then some owners will complain about...

Updated to 5.8 this morning. I was able to get mine to lower by selecting "Low" when driving about 40 mph. I could go back and forth between "Low" and "Standard" using the touchscreen. If I selected "High," I'd get the normal double beep above 20 mph. I wasn't on the highway, so I don't know...

On a crowded highway it's sometimes impossible to safely change lanes or brake hard without causing an accident. Last week we saw a large contractor's wheelbarrow in the middle lane of the interstate. Fortunately traffic was light. There are a lot of poorly secured loads on the road. My son...

Pictures from Cars and Coffee this Morning. It was good to see Btrfly18e and LawSteve there. The Teslas got a lot of attention.

I called Alan at Boulevard Customs, who's running the event and he says to get there early. We're planning on getting there at 6:30. Whoever gets there first should try to save spots.

If GM was smart they'd leverage their network of dealers into a network of charging stations for EV's. Not gonna happen, I'm afraid.

A very nice look. Love those rims!

I'll be there about 6:30 as well. Hopefully we can park together. Looking forward to it!

I'm not convinced that the battery was involved in a big way. Looking at the video the flames are orange and red and the smoke is black, indicating a low temperature fire and incomplete combustion. I've looked at a lot of lithium battery fires on youtube, most give off a white smoke and are very...

Florida Vanity Tags We just ordered "LECTRFY" for our Model S. We've been working on a list of possible vanity tags which are not already taken and pass muster at the Florida tag agency's website. Here are the tags we came up with: 85000WH 86 CO2 86 OIL A TESLA AC NDUC ACINDCT ACINDUC...

We had a great time yesterday. Thanks Nigel, Larry and Mote Marine!

I got the "Hang Loose," or "Shaka" sign from another Tesla one time. I thought that was our gang sign.

We went to Cars and Coffee at the Dupont Registry in Clearwater last Saturday, 9/21. We got a great reception and a lot of attention. The Model S is definitely a crowd pleaser. The only other Tesla there was from the Tampa Service Center. We got there right at 7am and got one of the last...

Took some photos today of our Brown Model S. We just had the car detailed and GTechniq coating applied by Pete at First Impression in Sarasota.

I've always subscribed to this rule: Whats Not Important - YouTube

We took delivery of our car yesterday and caught both segments on MSNBC. What a day!

I think it's probably worse to run your battery below 20% than to keep it charged to 90%.

Cramer's not too bright, he probably shorted TSLA.

Thanks - - - Updated - - - I'm seeing them now. Thanks for your quick response. BTW, we got our VIN number yesterday! Can't wait. Ours is brown too. Beautiful images.

We placed our order June 5 and received our VIN number yesterday 16924. Originally put our order on a hold for October delivery and took the hold off July 3.

Thanks Does a reply to a thread count?
