    Less sweet, more brown!

    Am I the only one super annoyed by the site automatically replacing mild swear words? Specifically: *sugar*. We're all adults. We can handle it. Can we turn off the filter for this one word, or at least have an option to turn it off? Sure, filter out the more explicit stuff, but this one word...

    Nice delivery experience today

    I think the positive experiences sometimes get hidden in the noise. (And I've certainly been guilty of complaining on TMC.) So here's a delivery story with zero complaints! I took delivery this afternoon and it was quite pleasant. Communication was perfunctory but adequate pre-delivery...

    Tesla 2018 models not yet eligible for California CVRP

    Just got a 2018 Model 3! Unfortunately I can't apply for the California rebate yet -- the VIN wasn't accepted and failed the online validation check. I inquired via email and got this response from the CVRP staff ... I haven't followed up with Tesla, though -- I'm assuming they know or are...

    Remote S app: changing cars from Apple Watch?

    I just got the Remote S app for iOS and it's pretty sweet. I got it specifically for the Apple Watch interface -- it's really conventient to be able to unlock and start the car from my watch and leave the key at home. I can't figure out how to switch between my Model S and Model 3 in the watch...

    Culver or Redondo?

    I will be travelling on 405S Sunday evening and will need to stop to supercharge around 9pm. In the past I've had to detour to Hawthorne. This time I'm looking forward to trying out one of the new locations. Should I stop at Culver City or Redondo Beach? I know CC has more food options, but can...

    60 vs 85 - impressions

    Been driving a 60 today while my S85 is in for service. There have been a lot of threads asking about how the 60 and 85 compare, thought I'd throw in my 2watts: My car: S85, coil suspension, 19" tires Loaner: 60, air suspension, 19" tires Overall, I really can't tell if there is any...

    Road Trip techniques

    I've been wondering whether or not to post something like this and not sure if it's helpful. I just completed a road trip and the longest leg was San Diego to the Tejon supercharger (and back). It's 200 miles each way and has that big climb over the Grapevine. I used almost exactly 200 rated...

    Yet another (crazy) front plate solution

    What if I told you there was a front plate solution that allowed you to mount and remove the front plate at will, in mere seconds? What if that same solution was completely non-destructive to any part of your MS? And what if you could still accelerate from 0 to 60mph in moments, without a drop...

    shore power for precooling when charging is scheduled?

    Perhaps a dumb question: Does the car still use shore power to precondition the car when plugged in and climate control turns on, even if I have a scheduled charge time?

    San Diego electrician

    I know TM is referring everyone to Calray, but he was so busy I never got a call back. I found another electrician on Yelp and couldn't be happier. So here's a shameless plug: Amped Electric - Clairemont - San Diego, CA

    Construction and backlog at Hawthorne

    There's construction going on at Hawthorne and two of the stalls are inaccessible. Three cars waiting in line right now. I suggest staying away if you can. I can't get home without a charge, gotta wait. - - - Updated - - - Make that five cars waiting. Yuck.

    Day 1 with my Tesla

    Took delivery today! Super nice people at the service center in San Diego and the delivery walk through was lots of fun. I think they follow these forums, so thanks again to everyone. The car was in pristine condition, detailed and shiny and charged up. The walk through was excellent; there are...

    Blink and Chargepoint in SoCal?

    San Diegans: have you bothered getting Blink and/or Chargepoint accounts? I can't imagine needing it when driving around town. A standard charge will be fine for the entire day, isn't that the whole point of the 85 battery? But if I'm out and about and happen to see a public charger where I...

    Day trip plan, San Diego to Magic Mountain

    How would you plan a day trip to Magic Mountain from San Diego in a MS 85? Looks like there are no EV chargers at Magic Mountain in Valencia. The one-way trip from my house is 148mi on Google maps. The Hawthorne super charger is 115 miles from home and just 43 miles from the park, just a small...

    Anyone using San Diego TOU rates, single meter, without solar?

    Don't have my car yet, trying to estimate charging costs. Right now we just don't use much juice. I'm always in SDG&E tier 1 and tier 2, with the exception of September when we run the A/C a lot, then it jumps into tier 4 easily. Solar has never made much sense because usage has been so low...

    Color choice stress!

    Yes, a good problem to have. Right now I have Green/Tan interior ordered, still in the two-week holding period where I can change my mind. I've had green cars before, including a green XK8, and it was gorgeous. But it was also a much smaller car. I'm waffling between the green and something...

    Financing decisions

    Ok, need to come up with a chunk of money. I have options, just wondering what others are doing. 1. Buy the car outright. I can come up with the cash, but interest rates are so low it seems silly to not take advantage of the time-value of money and keep more of my savings invested. This isn't...

    Talk me out of it?

    Yeah, I'm in the wrong place for that. Seriously want to take the plunge and put in the order. Feedback appreciated. I'm mostly using this post as a way of helping me think through a major (and fun!) decision. Background: I'm a car nut, one of those type A car personalities. My daily car right...
