    Blog Tesla Horn to Get Custom Sounds – Goats, Farts, Coconuts

    The really cool way to do this would be a UX that allows contributing favorite sounds to a repository that Tesla filters for keeping clean.

    A Fart Toy. Seriously?

    As an app developer for iOS and Android (iBird Pro) with close to 1 million downloads, I can tell you the fart feature was a very good idea to add as an Easter Egg. First because its all software it cost almost nothing to build. Second, it provides a nice relief for programmers who are totally...

    Supercharging Nightmare Begins

    I mean between SF and Petaluma is about an hour in time. So everyone in Marin (Sausalito, Mill Valley, Corte Madera, San Rafael, Terra Linda, etc) has no SuperCharger network unless they are willing to face horrible traffic on 101 for an hour to get to Petaluma.

    Supercharging Nightmare Begins

    I understand the idea is to create a network of stations that allow keeping cars charged as you travel, but the distance from the north most San Francisco super charger to the next northward SC is a very long distance. I had heard that the Marin City Shopping Center, where the newest Target is...

    Supercharging Nightmare Begins

    Thanks Chris but isn't that just extending the current chargers that are behind the Tesla showroom in the village? And I agree it will be totally full most of the time, so not a real solution.

    Supercharging Nightmare Begins

    I live in Mill Valley, Marin County, and we have been waiting for a super charger for 7 years. The closest one is in Petaluma, a low population city that is close to Hwy 101, which I guess is why they built it there. Next in closeness is San Francisco but those are always very crowded and its a...

    Model S Charger charge a BMW i3s?

    So I'd be looking for a Level 2 charger if I wanted to buy a new one rather than use my Tesla HPWC and an adapter? I assume the direct DC is for a Level 4 charger which no one makes for the garage (yet). I guess BMW has one somewhere or else why would they add that feature?

    Model S Charger charge a BMW i3s?

    Is this the $250 adaptor called the TeslaTap the one you are describing? TeslaTap There is also this $400 unit, called "controversial", I guess cause you can use it at a Tesla charging station to charge your BMW i3...

    Model S Charger charge a BMW i3s?

    Please excuse my ignorance but I don't know what a 1772 connector is. I've attached a photo of the BMW i3s charger female receptacle.

    Model S Charger charge a BMW i3s?

    i have the 240v dual inverter Model S home charger and I’m buying a 2018 BMW i3s. Does anyone know if it will charge the i3? Or must I spend $1000 for the BMW charger? Thanks Mitch

    I see now this system is way smarter than I imagined. I followed your directions and it did exactly what I wanted. See attached.

    A Better Routeplanner

    Thanks SomeJoe for helping me. Is there a way I can arrive at Tahoe City with a higher than 10 or 20% charge? Is there a way I could charge at Rocklin just enough to get to Donner Pass which is only about 50 miles from Tahoe City and charge there to 80% or so?

    A Better Routeplanner

    Please excuse my ignorance but I'm trying to plan a trip from San Francisco CA to Tahoe City CA. The routeplanner suggests I stop in Rocklin and use the supercharger which makes sense as its half way. Then it has me ending up in Tahoe City with 10% left. There are no SuperChargers in Tahoe City...
