I was weighing my options as I look to replace my...

    Most people are well aware of the 7,500 federal tax credit but what most might not know about is that congress extended (at the last minute almost) the tax credit for paying for the installation of a home charging device.

    Moon landing conspiracy theory disproved by new graphics card

    So I am sure many of you have heard the numerous moon landing conspiracy theories one of which is that the lighting in the photos and film "proves" it was filmed on a set. I thought this was a really awesome way for NVidia to show off the new capability/feature on their new Maxwell graphics...

    Musk vs. Bezos: SpaceX challenges Blue Origin’s rocket-landing patent

    Musk vs. Bezos: SpaceX challenges Blue Origins rocket-landing patent - GeekWire Yikes! I hope this doesn't put a damper on SpaceX's ability to do water platform landings in the up coming test flights. How can you patent landing on a floating platform? Man, this is as bad as Apple patenting a...

    Greenercars.org still hates Tesla

    I know this has been brought up before, but I want to mention this again, since this continues to be a sore place for me because my building is LEED certified, and they base their parking off of this list. As in... I cannot get a parking pass unless my vehicle is on this list or I become some...

    West Virginia Superchargers

    Thought I would make a thread, I know there aren't too many planned for this state thus far.

I am mostly posting this because as I was...

    I was sifting through plugshare and does anyone have any recommendations for charging either in Hawthorne, Gainesville (if I really have to... long wait here is not what I am wishing for), or Ocala?

    Change to the TM website - Model S - Charging page

    I did a quick search and didn't see anyone else post this, nor a thread tracking this, so thought I would post it here. If you look over on the TM website for the Model S and the Charging page, they appear to have added a new section. Looking at archive.org, the change hit sometime between...
