    Peter, I did not make the cut either and I just ordered a new Model S 70D. Seriously, I think they may have a space limitation on how many people can come to the opening event.

    Pilgrim Nuclear Plant (Carbon Free Power) to Close 2019

    Communities are not pulling its own weight on energy production As a resident of Plymouth, I feel that many communities have gotten a free ride on energy production. NIMBY attitudes in MA toward energy production runs deep. Many communities still have yet to produce a single solar field/wind...

    Big Party for Tesla owners, fans, environmentalists & legislators / fundraiser

    The word tax or fee is a hotly contested subject in itself; I'll leave it to the Massachusetts General Court to settle that debate. There are many ideas on reducing carbon emissions; I was only highlighting a different approach. Good luck on your event.

    Big Party for Tesla owners, fans, environmentalists & legislators / fundraiser

    Carbon taxes are essentially a consumption tax. I could support some form of tax reform compromise which includes carbon taxes with a reduction of personal income, corporate, and capital gains tax. I believe you could receive a broader support in the Massachusetts business community if your...

    I know Ed spoke with the Auburn inspector as well. Once he files a complaint to the State about the disconnect issue, it could stall both Superchargers. I very disappointed.

    Supercharger - Sagamore Beach, MA
