London has them for exactly this purpose. Cheers Frank

Yes, it's there with Version 7 of the firmware and hardware that supports it (should be all cars with the "new" sensors that enable the autopilot features) . Frank

Why would you need a stick shift in 5-10 years, even if not all cars are electric by then? And until then, not driving a stick shift but s.th. else won't hurt. Frank

Yes, the local low voltage distribution networks run on 400 V 3-phase. This is then split up into 230 V/16 A one phase circuits for all the household appliances, except stovetops that run on 400 V 3-phase as well as the CEE red 400 V 16/32/63 A 3-phase sockets/circuits for heavy machinery (for...

Hi from Germany. Interesting tidbit: Wikipedia says that the 6-50 was/is common on farms for silo unloaders and that manufacturers of electric vehicle charging stations seem to use this connector with a one foot cord to connect the charging station to the grid. Live and learn: The plug...

A Donnie Darko bunny maybe... Frank

Oops, was too slow, but anyway: From this German Thread http://tff-forum.de/viewtopic.php?t=8413 Germany August 2015: 130 new Model S registrations. Cheers Frank

Hi, My Model X Signature reservation is #68 - but for Vancouver. I didn't get an invitation to configure yet. Frank

Hi, I just entered my Model X Signature Reservation #68 for Vancouver and hope it will be approved and added to the map. Cheers Frank

I second that. Ultra pasteurized milk is awful. In fact, the only milk I like is cream top milk (pasteurized but not homogenized). Frank, Germany

Hi from Germany (waiting to be able to configure my Model X Signature reservation #68 for delivery and use in Vancouver). What I don't get is why everybody/lots of people seem/s to be disappointed about the interior/cockpit not being very different from the Model S where it got rave reviews...

My first choice would be a browser version for the Model S (just create an "entry mask" with all the required entry fields, this sends the request to your servers and those deliver a static website to the Model S browser. No dragging around the route etc. in this version - but it would work on...

Way Back refers to the title of the Internet archive website Wayback Machine. Frank

Sibce your article link points to one from 2013 - is there any more recent info? Thanks in advance Frank

Maybe the beta testers had to sign NDAs? Frank

Sorry - not here in Germany! How cheap is the 3-Golf in North America? Here in Germany the e-Golf in its base configuration starts at 34,900 EUR. And with their nifty configuration options where you need other stuff you didn't want if you select, for instance, lane assist, you are at 37, 721...

Hi, I finally got my Model X Signature reservation changed from Germany to Canada (reservation #68) but, of course, no VIN yet. ;) Cheers Frank

Go Canada! :-)

The Android app doesn't offer push notifications like the iOS app. You have to start the app manually and look. :-) Frank

Yes - from all we know, Range Mode turns off battery heating via preheating the car. Frank

Yes, that's true, but the hill assist feature actually engages on "hills" with less tgan 4 % incline. Frank

That might be why I never had the feature not working: I use the creep feature. And with my car, too, it works at very shallow inclines. Frank

Cannot edit posts, therefore an UPDATE: Hill assist works on every terrain, all the time, but just for 1-2 seconds, not indefinitely. Cheers Frank Sent from my phone using Forum Fiend.

Hi, It always works for me in my Model S Signature (Germany, 09/2013) ever since Tesla introduced it way before 6.1 Sent from my phone using Forum Fiend.

Thanks for your clarification nleggatt, Since I've been driving solely electric since 2006 the most important thing I've learned is: you can never be too cautious with your guesses on range of an EV. Always start with the highest possible charge for conditions / routes you didn't drive yet...

Hi, I don't know whether you talk about Typical Range or Rated Range and whether it was a Model S 60 or 85. When driving in Germany (my home) with my Model S 85 Signature, I add 50 km on top of the Typical Tange display to be on the safe side around 0 degrees Celsius with rain. And I only...

@ bluenation: As a German I say you're right! Especially since Audi really is only leader in announcements and even if they and the other German carmakers might actually produce something in 2018-20 that has the range of a 2012 Model S, they still don't have a fast charging network... There's...

Well, what you didn't quote was that he said the government would basically just subsidize the building costs and the on site owners of restaurants / gas stations would have to operate and maintain them. As discussed in the German Tesla forum (tff-forum.de) this either means a) poorly...

Hi, this only applies to France and seems to be a bureaucracy issue. At least one French SuC has now been changed from "temporary installation" to 4 stalls. Thus I'm guessing that more wil go "permanent" soon. Our German SuCs usually have 6-8 stalls, since people from Norway, Sweden...

Hi, some people from the German Tesla and friends forum (tff-forum.de) have collected money and are delivering Christmas presents to our heroes, the 3-4 worker crews of Leonard Weiss, the construction company doing all the German SuCs and some more. Photos can be found in this thread: TFF...

Why? Something wrong?

Hi from Germany, that's something we discussed in the German tff-forum.de as well. But since Germany is a transit country for everybody from north and west if they want to go on holiday (Alps, Italy, Eastern Europe) I guess that Tesla's first goal is "provide the good sales countries the...

Unfortunately not in Hope BC, where they're waiting for months now and can't put the finished supercharger in operation because BC Hydro doesn't bring in the transformer... See the Western Canada Superchargers thread. Cheers Frank

Wow - in Germany you are required by law to endure any measures on your property regarding electrical and water/sewage. You just don't have a say in the matter except that the respective operating companies cannot go through your buildings or inconvenience you in the use of your property...

Hi, Seems that they learned from how they do it in Germany: one (medium sized) company doing all the SuCs. Frank

Hi from Germany, the ones in Germany are almost always at gas stations/fast food/restaurant places called "Autohof" right next to Autobahn exits. The reason for that is rather practical: Autobahn restaurants and gas station areas can only be reached from the Autobahn direction, you're...

Hi from Germany, I recently installed 5.6 (1.45.45) - it didn't solve the 26 A issue - and the Hamburg sech/service/guy/manager/whatever/title/they/invent that I have been in contact with because of other defects that need to be addressed was surprsed that this update didn't solve the issue...

Hi from Germany, I'd like to point out that the amount of CO2 emitted per kWh of "average German electricity mix" depends heavily on the year you take as a base. German electricity is still quite strong on the coal side - but renewable energy has had a bigger percentage in the mix every year...
