I'm looking for a 2016 (refresh) or 2017 Model S. Preferably a 90d or 100d with at least AP2 with EAP. Preferably located in CT or NY. Must have transferable free super charging capability.

I feel the same way about my 2010 Roadster. And thanks to Henry's adapter I can really take it anywhere. Now I charge it from my home's HPWC along with my Signature S and Performance 3. Three generations of Tesla EVs, all running on sunlight. Henry, you're the best!

I’m waiting for the new Maxwell Technologies-inspired dry Li-ion batteries for my 2.0 Roadster, Signature S and Performance 3. I know that none of those upgrade options are likely to happen but I can hope.

Amen, I agree 100% I’m patiently waiting to replace my 2016 RAM 3500 quad cab with 8’ bed and power lift gate (which effectively makes it a 9’ bed).

Indeed!

No, the “R” is for Roadster, which has been unveiled. The pickup has not. Now, what letter to add to S3XYR? And what about the Semi? Hmm.

My wife laughs when I get behind the wheel and change the profile. The range drops like a rock. She’s not hypermiling like the Florida man who got over 400 miles range (you do remember that?), but she drives conservatively.

No, three hundred (3-0-0). She’s a conservative driver, to be sure, but does not do any granny driving.

You may be forgetting that the Model S battery pack may get a similar after-life upgrade as the Roadster. Remember that the pack (with old battery technology) drops out and a replacement pack with new technology batteries pops in and 500 miles range (for whatever you need that) is doable. My...

At least now they’ve passed the Roadster count. Yay!

In the video you click on the charge cable's button to open the charge port. It doesn't open automatically when "the charger handle approaches." That's exactly the same as my 2012 Model S, adding number 5 to the above 4.

An optional (or after market) 8 foot solar PV array bed cover and 120v and 240v power outlets would also be very useful. See http://www.viamotors.com/vehicles/soltrux/.

Thanks for the Raptor video. I can hardly wait to see Doug's expression when he launches the upcoming (soon, I hope) pickup. Many (not all) nice features to add to Tesla's design list. A built-in power lift gate instead of the hokey pull out granny stairs and rail would be far preferable. Think...

Even though it was painted by Lotus in Britain, Tesla calls the color "Racing green." Regardless, I love the color for my mean, green, racing machine. It gets a lot of compliments, too. I trust you like it.

With a Roadster 2.0 (#511) and Sig Performance Model S (#278) in my garage it really burned me to have to buy another RAM 3500 crew cab w/ 8 ft. bed while waiting for a Tesla electric pickup. I hope it's at least in concept drawing now. I KNOW Elon will give us a breakthrough product in this...

I have REMOTE ACCESS in the car set to ON. I'm not sure if that's what you mean. If not please tell me how to reach that menu pick "always connected".

I didn't try it because you can't use it to start the car. BTW, the app hasn't failed since this first failure.

This is NOT a bug report, but rather a warning to those who, like me, use the Remote S app and leave their keys at home. I had no trouble unlocking my car at home and driving to a client about 8 miles away. Unfortunately when I went back to my car to unlock it the Tesla servers were busy and I...

I totally agree. If the depicted RAM 2500 Limited with 8 foot bed and crew cab had two electric motors like the Tesla "D" instead of its Cummins Diesel engine I would jump at it, sight unseen. I love my RAM 2500 but would be glad if its Hemi engine, transmission, exhaust system and gas tank fell...

FYI I questioned the seller about the motor and he confirmed that it is not the sport motor.

I have VIN #278 in Signature red and its a P85 with no markings of that, only MODEL S on the left rear.

I agree that a lead-acid 12v battery is a weak point and a surprising choice for Tesla's current flagship P85D vehicle. I have a 2.0 Roadster (July 2009 delivery #511) and, after the warranty ran out and the auxiliary battery had been replaced twice, I replaced it with a 50 amp hour 12v lithium...

Henry, add me to your list. What's the cost and wait time?

Count my wife and me in for the 25th only. Tesla Model S Signature Red #278. E-mail and phone # sent separately. Ken & Ann Edwards

I'm keeping my 2004 RAM 2500 with an 8 foot bed and quad cab alive (hopefully) until TM produces their pickup. I really hope it can match or exceed the capability of my truck so I can pre-order it. I'd pay in full up front for it to join my Tesla Roadster and SP85 Model S at my home's solar...

The new Southbound supercharger location in Darien, Connecticut on I-95 is between exits 9 and 10 (just after passing exit 10). Both this site and the TeslaMotors.com site have INCORRECT information about its location with the wrong exit numbers. I hope these can be corrected SOON since out of...

This interview should be mandatory viewing material for all school children ages 10 and up. I can't think of a more engaging and exciting way to push the science and especially the physics curriculum than to watch and listen to someone who has achieved great success with it. Bravo, Elon!

On the "How long does it take to recharge?" question that keeps being asked, I've found that taking the questioner through a parallel question of "How long does it take you to recharge your iPhone each night?" really helps. The light goes on as they realize it doesn't matter, as long as their...

With a Tesla Roadster and a Model S in my garage and a RAM 2500 (11 mpg) parked in my driveway that I use within a 25 mile radius for work, it's not hard to understand why I'd be first in line to make a reservation deposit on a Tesla EV pickup truck. We're an EV/PV home with 10.8 kW of solar...

Did George indicate that the app will talk to the Roadsters? The rumor was that 2.0 Roadsters and more current would be included. I'm hoping they will!

Milford Superchargers on I-95 The northbound and southbound Superchargers are at the highway rest stops between exits 40 and 41 across the road from one another. I successfully used the southbound Supercharger last night (12/16) and it works great. Ironically the long canopy over the gasoline...

Don't forget that for most people it's not the cost of the car that's important, it's the monthly cost of the lease. Leasing electric cars for comparable rates as "campfire on wheels" vehicles (I love that phrase, thanks), will move people into the electric vehicle market. Things like residual...

One more important factor to consider: range. Tesla engineers I spoke with all said the 19 inch wheels would get about 5% more range. If range (and economy) is important to you, and you want to save money and have more choice of tires and manufacturers, then the 19s are best for you. Overall...

My Roadster is charged by PV panels from SunPower mounted on my roof. I got vanity plates that are somewhat of a double entendre: SUN PWR We're limited to 6 characters in Connecticut, but more characters would allow a better spelling if you're into EV + PV as I am.

This is a great film which gives a lot of background information focused on the 4 entrepreneurs that are all working on the same issue but from different angles. If you have "Who Killed the Electric Car" DVD, this one is a must-have for your video library. If you don't have it, get it and watch...

My solar roof top collectors work fine here in Connecticut. I just passed the 10 megawatt-hour generation threshhold today after 16 months of generation. My Tesla is set to start charging, if it's in the garage, at 10 AM and it tops off the battery while the house is being simultaneously...

When is the general release of this film?
