    Trading in Model S, keep old UMC?

    I'm trading in my 2014 Model S for one of the last RWD Model 3's on Monday, but I was wondering... Has anyone been able to keep their old, Gen 1 UMC when they trade in their Model S? I'd rather hang on to the 40A charger, with the additional adapters I bought, in case I ever need to charge on a...

    14-50 in Blanco?

    Plugshare lists a 14-50 in the old Blanco town square, but nothing is visible on the (very recent, Mar. 2016) Google streetview unless there's a random plug on the utility poll. Can anyone here confirm there's something there? Thanks!

    Destination Charger - Hilton Garden Inn Abilene

    Just thought I'd check in...Don't know that I'm THE first to charge here, but I'm definitely one of the first. The guy at the desk said it's only been here for about 3-4 weeks. Pretty sure it wasn't here when I came through in September. He was friendly, said even though the rules state it's...

    S Wanted for PR/Legislative Convention in Lubbock next week

    Panhandle/West Texas folks: An Austin-based PR firm reached out to me to see if I would be willing to let them display my car at the upcoming Texas Federation of Republican Women convention that will be here in Lubbock next week. (Naturally, since I'm the only owner here :).) Unfortunately...

    Destination Charging - Corpus Christi, McAllen, Palestine, College Station

    I admit that I haven't been on here as regularly as I used to be, but never did I think I would get "scooped" on something Tesla by MY MOTHER using that not-all-that-much-more-modern equivalent of mailing me an article clipped from the newspaper! :biggrin: I had no idea these chargers were...

    Crosswinds have big impact on range/Does this sound right?

    When drove back to Lubbock from taking delivery in Austin, I charged in Abilene. I left with 200 miles of range, figuring that was enough cushion for the 170 mile drive. I pulled into my garage with 10 miles left, and learned that driving 75 mph doesn't get you a 1:1 miles-driven-to-range-used...

    The 10%: 350+ miles from SC, where to take delivery?

    After 7 months of lurking on here, this non-car guy has learned a lot of things about cars and the Model S. While not sure what exactly "camber" is or what it does, I know it's NOT a kind of cheese or the latest hip baby name-that's-not-really-a-name. I live in West Texas, about 350 miles from...

    Do you live far from a Service Center? What's your experience?

    After a test drive in Houston a few weeks ago, I'm REALLY interested in buying a Model S. There are several things that are keeping me from pulling the trigger, but I wanted to ask everyone about one of them specifically. I've always had a rule about not buying a car that didn't have a dealer...
