    Bonnie's Xcellent Adventure w/X Sig 2 - Config, Delivery, Roadtrip

    One concern I had about lowering the 3rd row is whether there is a deep gap or fall off created between the flat area created and the back of the second row. For instance, will there be an issue with items sliding and falling down below the back of the 2nd row with start and stop action?

    Ask Tesla to make active spoiler available for 90D

    Totally agree. Living where I do you are very range concious given very limited infrastructure. Would not trade to P due to losing the range just to gain spoiler but would pay for spoiler to increase range on the 90D

    Supercharger - Wytheville, VA

    I have checked that website nearly everyday looking for new super chargers on my needed route. Thought this dot would never come. Shouted an audible "YES" at work when I saw this. Thanks for finding!!!!

    Production X Configuration Has Begun!

    Why no active spoiler in the 90D/70D configurations? It certainly is a sporty differential for the P90D but it would serve as a range boost on other models as well. Disappointed that isn't an option on 90D that I plan to order.

    Awesome! Much needed I-81 addition. Let's hope it's a quick build! Keep us upto date. Love to have it up by NYE for a roadie

    The new nose

    when they first drove it out, I thought the mule cover wrap was still on it! Have to see in the right light and photos but first impression is it looks odd

    New renderings of storage space and 2nd row seats! (9/15)

    Tesla needs to just reveal the car, or announce an imminent reveal date. The concept of asking people to speculate on a $100k car purchase is just ridiculous. Place a hold on any new configurations unless you are going to reveal all the specs to that buyer. I'm a production, not a sig holder...

    SuperChargers in western Virginia

    I hope they build this corrador (especially Wytheville) prior to the end of summer, would make our beach run so much easier. Major hypermiling to get to Burlington from Charleston, WV

    Supercharger - Lexington, KY

    Friend of mine just sent me a picture from the Meijer parking lot in a shipping center off I-75 in Lexington Ky called Hamburg place. There are already the stalls up at this site and it's not even listed on supercharge.info. Looks ready to open. It's across from the Lazyboy store, backyard...

    Superchargers in VA

    This is great news. Will fill an important gap. I have just recently made it from home in Charleston, WV to Burlington, NC (262 mi) on a single charge but had to drive pretty slow most of the way. 55-60mph. This will allow highway speed travel through some terrain that is really brutal on...

    Just got my second _replacement_ battery - some graphs showing my degradation trends

    Agree with so much expressed here. The battery is management and maintenance issue from Tesla is too weakly explained. Like Islandbayy and others, I too have been seeing accelerated range loss and all I am left to do is to troll the forums and take guesses on its cause, imbalance from 60%...

    Decreasing rated range.

    Hope this isn't how to unlock if true, how could you know how long you could drive before running out? Still too many questions and not enough answers from Tesla

    Decreasing rated range.

    Ok so I ran my battery down on my road trip several times to single digit miles and did full range charges. Have had some miles return. 229 on 90% and 255 on 100% with range mode on. Have a pretty good idea of my drivable KWH now. Drove to one mile rated and I had used 72 KWH on the dot...

    Decreasing rated range.

    So as expected, the response I recieved was a bit generic regarding the battery from recent SC visit. Engineering said they looked at the battery and that the capacity was "normal". They did not give me a total capacity read. I guess the most confusing thing is that they said I should...

    Any chance those detachable poles are there for the Tesla Supercharger sign poles? Hey a guy can dream right ;).

    Supercharger-Charleston, WV site possibly discovered?? [no]

    I snapped these photos at a new hotel (Mariott Courtyard) being built in the downtown area of Charleston, WV. It is right where an SC should be, near convergence of several interstates. I have been told an SC is due this year by a local store. When scoping the property out I saw this array of...

    Decreasing rated range.

    This thread is an amazing collection of owners, all having the same problem, decreased rated range beyond the expected degradation curve and in most cases it seems to be related to daily undercharging. Maybe its time to draft another open letter to Tesla to review this issue. I have SC...

    Just how much buffer is there? (resolve this > 10 kWh discrepancy)

    This is a major pet peeve of mine about the car. I want to know what I have left in a much greater detail. Having this zero "buffer" is fine and good for the model 3, when there is ample charging available and the masses will be using this new tech and media will be looking forward to...

    Oglebay Park HPWC's (fun roadtrip spot now)

    For those in the Western PA or Ohio area, Oglebay Park, in Wheeling, WV have installed two Tesla HPWC for free use. Of course there is the nearby SC in Triadelphia but this allows you to keep the car at the hotel there if staying. For those other regional Tesla owners, this park would make a...

    Luck getting worse? Found new crease spot on hood, unrelated to closing/pressing.

    I don't think you are being "that customer" You just had the ICE equivalent to an engine failure in your 80k car, you lauded praise on the company for their handling. Most would have rolled over on them at that point. Tesla had to own that battery failure, it was warrentied. Not you being...

    Drafting big rigs saves a minimum of 10 percent range

    I have only drafted with intent once, taking a 180 mile drive home in winter, hit a storm with a 30mph headwind and with temps in the teens would not have made range without the draft, didnt like experience, the rig kept slowing down, braking, eventually pulled over practically to shake me...

    West Virginia Superchargers

    I live in Charleston. The Cincinnati store confirmed this week for me that we are expected to go live this year. That said, I have not found out where it is going. A few months back I heard a rumor that a local political family was placing the charger in a new shopping center they are...

    Seat Fix

    Had mine done, there is a subtle but noticeable difference. You do feel a bit more sunk in and notice lateral support better. I was constantly adjusting my seat before, have made no adjustments since. Worth having done IMO.

    All-Weather Mat with Rear Facing Latches; Cut It?

    I cut mine. I did not remove the whole section because I still wanted the carpet protected underneith, just made a slit with scissors into the mat the length of the latch. Mat falls over it and the area underneith remains clean.

    Question for those who had bodywork done

    I had a bumper replaced along with headlight, work done in Columbus, they were able to recieve those parts overnight from Tesla, work done in 1 week total, so there is some hope.

    Supercharger - Triadelphia, WV

    @JakeP. I don't know of any progress there yet. Agree with you on the sites. Both would be good. Would like to see it closer to the I 77-68 split but there is nothing really there to place the SC. I live in Charleston, WV. Have heard here that a big political family has agreed to build...

    Supercharger - Triadelphia, WV

    Walk to Cheddar's not too bad, took me 7 minutes along the roadway. Granted it was an enjoyable 70 degree day. I think once the plaza builds up stuff around the hotel, will improve the location. They could put these things in a landfill parking lot at this point and I cant complain :)

    Supercharger - Triadelphia, WV

    Just used the supercharger. Could not tell if 120kw or 135kw. Operational. I was only one charging, surprise suprise ;). Wondering, was I the first? Just FYI, it's a 10-15 minute walk to any restaurant or store. It's in the new Hampton Inn upon hill over looking the whole plaza. SC's...

    Charging Amperage Set?

    You should get geofenced to your location for charging amprage. Change the amprage in the location you are charging to 28, the next charge you make from this location should set it for the same amps.

    Tesla no longer selling NEMA 6-50 Adapter

    1st 135kW supercharger FOUND in U.S. (NJ)

    Superchargers in VA

    I agree with DaveVa that the biggest hole in the exciting and planned Virginia SC are along I-81. It's a glaring omission when you consider that it also effects travel along I-77 and I-64 as well. I think they need SC at Wytheville and Staunton to make these routes passable. I have sent...
