So... convinced a member of our family to pick up a Tesla. For their own reasons, they selected a Used S from Tesla and are closing in on VIN #082984 Inspired by the thoughtful post from @ChadFeldheimer to give history on his leased S (Accident history for VIN 080687 (used car on Tesla.com))...

i seem to always have to figure out how to insert a tweet I've seen, from screenshots, etc... Other fora support this function in the Media URL function. Tesla and Elon communicates to the community via Twitter a lot and it would be helpful to be able to embed tweets easily in TMC.

It's been a while... IMG_20171020_091411 by Dennis Pascual, on Flickr Got to the office and realized I had a little bit of driving to do today and I didn't plug in last night. Have the CAN SR/JR in the car, but no convenient Destination or J1772 station nearby... So, out goes the Yellow...

Since the focus of these trips isn't really the car, but the company and its relationship with the community, either in the Tesla Owners Club program that we help organize for Orange County or in terms of the Annual Meeting this year, which is Phase 3... I figured that this forum would be the...

What is a Solar Inverter? It's a device that converts the DC power generated by solar panels into AC power that one can use in most homes. When we first shopped around for solar, we had many choices and we picked our provider based on cost, and it turned out to be a pretty good technical...

The story of Nikola Tesla’s life as an inventor and futurist during the late-19th and first half of the 20th century is recounted in a series of rapid-fire scenes intended to be performed as a radio play with multiple voices and Foley sound effects before a live audience. Tesla’s volatile...

I don't know how many of you guys were at the Culver City Supercharger last weekend... But, I was and didn't know what the heck was going on, until I stepped out of the car and talked to some people. (I was parked in one of the head-in spots, with my back to the mall...) IMG_20170107_181907...

I was not a fan of the original referral program. It just felt funny to me. However, with the changes to the program and having the Model 3 Party and Gigafactory Grand Opening invite contingent upon referrals, I became more motivated. Missed the Model 3 one, but worked that much harder to get...

To provide some sanity to the wait for election results in the US, I wrote the following blog post regarding our third year anniversary of our Model S. Service, as usual, was superb and we had a motor whine that will require a return for a replacement motor. At pickup at the Fremont factory on...

Hi All... We're crossing the Pond again for a visit and had so much fun with fellow rEVolutionaries (mostly from SpeakEV, though @dpeilow is a TMC and SpeakEV guy (like me)) that we wanted to see if we can do another Social and Drinks. This time, Clapham. Due to a Personal issue, we had to...

So, a few weeks ago we had a P85D loaner with 7.1, AP1.0 as a loaner while my wife's Roadster spent a while in the Service Center for some challenges after the annual service. IMG_20160927_150111 by Dennis Pascual, on Flickr We drove it around and I finally got a good feel for AP...

My opinions on the Chevy Bolt EV from when the Tesla Owners Club of Orange County had our secret pop-up meetup in September. It's a good car. Worth the money, but I'm not cancelling my Model 3 reservation. Here's the article on my blog. Here are most of the OC Tesla Club members that got to...

So, my wife and I have been itching to get on the road in an airplane (versus all the fun travels we've had in our Model S the past two years (here are the summaries of those trips - 2015 (cross country US trip) and 2016 (to the Gigafactory trip via Vancouver, BC, Canada)). Just booked a trip...

The Tesla Owners Club of Orange County is glad to announce that we are confirming this event at Riley's Apple Farm in Yucaipa/Oak Glen, CA. In a case of "great minds think alike", at the same time, the LA Club has planned to do an event on the same weekend, but has decided to join us instead...

We had some work done to our Home Charging setup this past weekend and I thought to update the world with a blogpost about it... Only to realize that all my posts about it have been on forums and not my blog, so I wrote about the evolution of our home charging from one EV to three EVs to four...

It looks like Summer 2016 has ended for most, and I haven't published this year's Tesla Roadtrip, until now... Starting today, 9/12/2016, you can experience our Long Way Round EV trip to the Gigafactory and back, this time two months from the day the trip happened...) I figured that with the...

Looks like there has been a claim reported on InsideEVs of a Model X owner seeking Lemon Law relief in California. I wonder what Tesla's response will be to this. I tried posting this on News section of TMC, but did not have rights to do so...

So, it's been over a week and like over 100k+ other people, I stood in line for the Model 3. We were 240-242 (thanks for the count and some of your pictures @Mark Z ) in line and waited five hours from the time we arrived. After reading what people experienced in their lines and talking with...

Don't get me wrong, we planned on putting a deposit down for the Model 3 yesterday and ended up reserving two... Earlier in the week, I got to visit the Faraday Future HQ and wrote a blogpost on what I can, under an NDA.

Youtube video of MarkZ's Signature #15 charging CHAdeMO yesterday in Irvine after the OC Tesla Club meet.

A few days ago I celebrated four years of mostly electric driving. I say mostly electric because we have a hybrid garage with a BMW X5, Roadster, and Model S. Here is a link to my first post on the Introductions section of the forum. Here is alink to my post on our past four years of mostly...

A quick comparison of three models of Model S that have since been pulled. (Finally finished that draft folder article in my blog on loaner cars - September 2015;-) ) Model S P85, P85+, and P85D. All pre-autopilot. Article here.
