Thought this was pretty interesting. Went to see it today. 100 years ago this year, after inventing and building better batteries, 28 year old engineer Oliver Fritchlie started making these "Extended Range" all electric cars in Denver. They sold for 3 1/2 times the price of a Ford, and he had...

This is very mysterious indeed. http://www.teslamotors.com/supercharger/denver/ Anyone heard any rumors lately ? A Park Meadows store employee told me a few months ago they were "studying" the usage of the Park Meadows "temporary" charger, and looking for a location permanently. You would...

A lot has been said, with good reason, about excessive rear inside tire wear. Boiling it down all together would help to to understand. I just lost probably 8K of use on the original Goodyears, when inside cord appeared with only 7K on the tires, (and only half of that on the rear). In...

I note that Toyota is moving to a 4.4 kwH Lithium ion pak of one sort or another in the new Plug in Prius. Last week somebody posted detailed flowcharts of the Tesla fluid heating/cooling system, which is integrated with multiple components. Pretty elaborate. So I am wondering how Nissan...

Having never cared much about the cars I drive, six months of Model S ownership has made an impression. It has finally prompted me to make other changes long over due with respect to energy use around the house. My point is there is more than solar panels ... Less exciting options like...

(?) Looks like I-25 south may be next, perhaps Castle Rock and then Trinidad or thereabouts.... Then Sterling on I-76 and Burlington on I-70 east in 2015. Something south of Denver asap would be great.

Wonder what people think about range and performance on this corridor. My estimate is that the westward path could be an issue, or at least people should be careful with range. Cheyenne to the I-25/I-70 turn is about 100 road miles with a 10% decline. In winter 34.0 KwH (?). Then west on...

Interested in a Colorado Tesla group. Anything exist? I have had the P85 for a month, been over a few mountain passes, and can't wait for the Silverthorne SC to power up...anytime now. Would like to trade experiences about the front range, mountains and all of Colorado with whomever is out...

When daily average is 50-80 miles, the full 40 amp charges in two hours. The mobile connecter and cable gets pretty warm. Does taking the amperage down to say 24amp save component life. Good idea to adjust amps to meet charging time available ?
