Likely will be at PRU or Dedham on Thursday !

Hello Larry That is great news thank you Great to know where I am staying has EV charging I see from Plugshare and prior threads that Kennedy Space Center is still without public charging Gotta see if I can squeeze in Falcon 9 launch....! Tom

People we have a winner!

Hey Floridians! I am in Orlando March 2016 for a week. Hoping to rent EV ; Hertz green club offers jumble of hybrids volts leafs. So have this reserved Question 1 Any ideas on Tesla rentals? Question 2 Also staying at Marriot Grande Vista; seems to have 240 charger on Plugshare yet no one has...

That's it I'm moving north! - - - Updated - - - Hold on there sir I think we have one of those around here....... Lemmeee See. ?

I know I'm preaching to the choir here....... Autopilot: Of course others have started, my impression is that the Tesla autopilot is unique in that your Tesla driving down my road learns about lane shift and feeds it to mothership then back to my car so my car does not have to learn all by...

Yes concerned it will pop up higher before I get around to buying more! Autopilot, SC network are unique to Tesla. They have a huge headstart on other EV so will enjoy being "the Cadillac" or perhaps the "BMW"of EV world for a few years.

that is great!! Congratulations!!

Tin hat alert! I know oil price is complex but the current reasons are 1) Low demand lack of demand in China and 2) Increased supply Shale oil USA production 3) Saudis cranking out production to try to drive labor capital intensive shale oil rigs into shutting down so they have more market...

I have been thing about all the downtime Tesla owners have at SC WHY not have planet fitness next to supercharger instead of chugging down a latte Starbucks you energize yourself with treadmill elliptical or weight workout? Heck you you could lift your upper body at one hen 2 hours later...

no argument here I'm long on TSLA as they get it about total package car service charging others playing catchup(BMW) or not even entering charging infrastructure game ( GM Ford) waiting for CPO or M3 as volt replacement just was hoping the loaf or SR could have provided $$ for Clipper creek

Was there Tuesday for brutal 5 degrees and windy day plugged Chevy Volt into anemic looking 120vikt charger got 7 miles range ! Better than nothing and awesome parking spot plus our tesla friends can drive with ease now I made a point of walking down to Guest services with a big smile and...

Wow what an interesting story: I want to wish you and your wife the best of luck. I am 19 years out of residency and have one more year of double college tuitions. So I have given up on new Model S but set my sights on used Certified Pre Owned Model S or waiting for the Model 3 like you...

Wow what agreat explanation thank you . For those of us learning lurking waiting to buy , it helps to understand every detail you provided.

indeed why dont you buy now? Congrats Glad to know I am not alone!! Model 3 timeline seems far away while CPO price keeps looking better

Indeed! Exciting news. I must say my state of Maine is looking awfully lonely. Entire northeast has made steady progress While not one SC in the largest (though least populated after Vt) of the New England states!

Odd tidbit noted today: (No Model S yet, hoping for 2017 Model 3) Planning a virtual trip to CT from Maine and noted Plugshare does not have West Hartford site on Plugshare?! I suppose Model S owners simply do not use Plugshare but found this odd. Tom

It's a great day to be a Bobcat!

"What the hell is a Jigawatt?"

I love how "Doc Brown" pronounces it 1.21 "Jigawatts" soft G not 1.21 "Gigawatts" hard G: Enjoy!!!! 1.21 gigawatts?! - Dr. Brown Marty - Back to the future - YouTube

On the heels of 100 new fast chargers from BMW and VW, Nissan announces 1000 new chargers! :love: Log In - The New York Times I am sure Leaf owners want to know where and when! Also Tesla owners if the conversion plug works..... TM

The Portland site will be very easy to get to maybe 3-5 minutes off 295 depending on traffic. i just visited Auburn off 290 and it seems farther out of the way but maybe due to unfamiliarity The site looks great at Auburn, but it is kind of lonely for the one Model S I saw there. i am much...

You are correct they do not need to ask you to unplug or decrease at night. I saw a study that said the unused nighttime electricty could handle 77 million EV ! This is really very exciting and could usher in a whole vehicle to grid program I think the term is demand side management. It has...

Rob I did not know that about Elon but I guess he is a libertarian in a way. He has never to my knowledge advocated for large scale production of nuclear. On the contrary look at the TED talk he gives Elon IS in favor of Nuclear, but not the type you think of. He has stated repeatedly we must...

Well said Robert in Portland formerly known as the Robert the artist in Boston;) South Portland has bought or leased a few Leafs though the CMP program I think so there is precedent and hopefully someone keeping track of the money saved on fuel oil change sets by going all electric. Lessons...

Great picture I drive by there tomorrow hopefully this will be up and running so MS owners can enjoy the new year!

I guess this is Teslas way of saying Happy New Year! Now get out there and start charging! - - - Updated - - - Yes downtown Portland would be ideal, close to highway plenty of walkable shops, restaurants, heck there is even a 5k run around back cove. You could time your run to the charging...

Great write up , sounds like I need to get out for the factory tour! Then pick up a car and rive it home to Maine!

Sorry to OP! OOPS Battery swap now in beta testing Model S owners have a choice, Fast (battery swap) or Free ( Superchargers) Battery Swap Pilot Program | Blog | Tesla Motors

Thanks for checking, the suspense is killing me!

Agreed. No problem to build SC in winter. Go Tesla, come to Maine! With global warming we have not had a real Maine winter in 10 years. Snowy yes, brutal cold for weeks on end, no. Ice out is shorter each spring and sap from maple trees run about a month earlier. Furthermore the frost line...

Wow amazing progress!! Auburn and Hartford open up northern New Englanders southern routes!!

The problem with nuclear is not just the safety concerns (valid or not) I feel it is just much too expensive and SLOW to build new GIGAWATTS :crying: to solve our problems right now. By all means keep the old ones going. We need to slow down and stop then reverse CO2 generation then start...

It is now Friday night ! Any pictures? Jk ;)

Construction photos near Red robin on West Hartford

Great Photos of West Hartford I will be down there again soon so will try to get some Daytime Pictures!

It's not about the money Certainly nat gas is efficient, and you point out many ways it can help I understand your point, I'm just trying to get away from burning things. A Few hundred thousand years ago we started burning things. I am ready to stop burning things. I see the Solutions...

Ouch , I agree that there will be a lot of fingerpointing. Personally I would prefer NOT to get married to huge investment for Natural Gas: I think it is sheep in wolves clothing. 70% of Maine heat with oil, another non renewable resource. Been there done that. As Electric Vehicle Owners...

Robert Great line"still,any SC is a good SC"

Agreed great progress on southern New England super chargers , northern New England is next logical step. You mention 60kw battery pack: any feedback on how EZ or difficult mini road trips have been? Given impressive build out of SC 60 kw might be plenty of range?

Awesome news; the more Superchargers go in the more I want a Model S. I may have to buy a Tesla now. Freshman at Trinity. Fill up at home here in Maine then again in West Hartford. With Auburn West Springfiield also coming online may try for the 60kw pack? Anyone on here in 60kw Model S? Tesla...

Mike i emailed Bates a few years ago about 240 plans..... no response i did charge my Volt at a 120 outlet behind commons next to their EV golf cart security vehicle As noted Plugshare has several 240 v chargers around Portland but that is it Good luck Maybe the Portland Tesla Supercharger...

It is a fantastic ride. I bike it whenever Visiting my hometown in the berkshires restaurant on top is top notch too for dinner. Also can meet lots ' thru hikers ' on the AT on their way to Mt katahdin or Springer mountain!

Great press! Sounds like an adventure. easier in car than bike.... bike race this past Saturday Hopkinton woman takes top honors for fastest summit in Mt. Washington bike race | Breaking News | providencejournal.com | The Providence Journal - The Providence Journal

Eda maybe it was your ride that I saw but I thought it was black model S? There is 240 charger at Revision energy (solar co) if that helps Glad to hear Nissan helped you out! Tom

I have seen one Model S in cape elizabeth which is in southern maine near portland a fellow volt owner has model X on order for his wife. As noted summer crowd at Bar Harbor and Kennebunkport (President Bush hangout) draws a lot of Philly NYC Boston vacationers who would love to drive their...

I live in Portland there is 240 volt at Solar installer revision Energy that is public. It is near Baxter boulevard which is a biking jogging trail around back cove bring a bike and cycle into Portland for lunch?? Sillys is a great sand which shop bar 10 minute bike ride from there There...

Hey neighbors, given NH superior support of solar , why not make your own elelectricity ? NH gives a $3,750 rebate on top of 30% federal tax credit. I used Revision energy in Portland but they are in Exeter. You could lock in at 8 cents for 25-30 years! Solar powered MS at home solar powered...

Yeah but do we really want NY to ski ride Maine ? I mean Vermont is so much closer..... JK But seriously all of those locations will make it much easier to navigate New England
