Does anyone have experience doing this that believes it worthwhile to do occasionally or regularly? I’ve seen brief references to trickle charging to 100% to “rebalance” and determine true max capacity of your battery, but can’t find much in the search function about this. After 90k miles, I...

Recent trip NC-TALLAHASSEE-NEW ORLEANS-COLUMBUS-NC Here are some figures to tweak and possibly help convince family members or folks considering a Tesla that there isn't that much time wasted on longer trips. This will help me be more realistic in planning future trips, as recently I have been...

Any rumors about this location? Would be great for people driving across the Carolinas, e.g., Charlotte/SC coast, Raleigh/Columbia.

Any folks had this done that are willing to describe their experiences? My Pearl White is still looking good after 38k miles, but I have been mulling this over since purchase, and plan to keep this car for a long time. Would such a treatment cover a small paint chip on the hood? Any vendors...

I am not going to spend $3000 or $4000 for a facelift, but am wondering if anyone has done anything creative to mask most of that huge plastic nose cone from the older models? Pics? Thanks.

On Saturday 6/17, a bloody deer leapt out in front of us on I-81 North between Roanoke and Lexington, VA. Was driving about 65mph with cruise control on a winding, mountainous stretch (without AutoSteer, I think). Swerved to avoid head-on collision. Don't know how the car stayed on the road...

Has anyone ever driven this scenic mountain roadway between Tellico Plains TN and Robbinsville NC? How feasible would it be in a 70D (210 mountain miles)? Chattanooga Supercharger to Tellico Plains TN = 69 miles, 1:21 hrs Tellico Plains to Robbinsville = 51 miles, 1:18 hrs Robbinsville to...

Rola 59000 M.O.V.E. Rigid-Base Interior Organizer (25" x 15"........from Amazon, $46. Separators can be moved sideways, and there are handles to lift the entire organizer out of the well. It leaves an open area about 12" wide.

Picking up my car in 3 days and need to distract myself. :cool:

Killing time thinking about a drive to Tally while refreshing delivery status..... Anyone driven Greenville to Macon, or Savannah to Tifton? These appear to be manageable shortcuts vs routes suggested by supercharge.info and EVTripPlanner: for Savannah/Tifton, SI says 170 miles in 3:13, and...

Getting my ducks in a row for December delivery of a pearl white 70D. What do current owners of pearl white cars think about the need for paint correction and protection? Did you have noticeable swirls at delivery? Would you suggest me telling the Raleigh SC not to wash the painted areas...

Anyone have a spreadsheet they could share so I can avoid reinventing the wheel? Or is there an app you can refer that will let me do this? I want to gather data for segments to see how climate/rain affect mileage for future predictive value. Many thanks.

Before making my 70D order in the next few weeks, would like to get an idea of incremental cost to reupholster a basic textile interior to a nice chocolate brown leather or textile (vs. spending $5500 for next gen leather and premium interior). Anyone done such a project? Thank you.

Anyone in the Raleigh area have a suggestion on the best way to see and feel the textile seats? The Raleigh SC says they rarely have it in their demo cars. Thanks.

I'm preparing the final touches in my garage prior to ordering a 70D in the next few months, and would appreciate any suggestions. I have a 2-car garage within my house, storage/2 fridges/walkway in the left bay, and my car in the right bay. The breaker box is on the left interior wall...

Now that we have NextGen leather at +$2500, "regular" leather at $1750, and textile (so far black only), what options do people who want something else have? There must be after-market seat options by now? Specifically, I'm wondering if anyone has purchased a Model S with textile and then...

Thought it would be nice to have a central reference for our road warriors who'd like to stay at interesting non-chain hotels during their Supercharger Highway travels. Hotel DeFuniak Just a note to say that I visited the DeFuniak Springs supercharger twice on a round trip last week from Baton...

Anyone been recently that could share some tips and suggestions? My daughter just finished college and is leaving soon for a service experience in Quito for 10 months. Wife and I plan to visit in May with 19 yr old son. Considering flying into Galapagos directly (may have to connect in Quito)...

Is it possible? Any suggestions?

Most interested in textile seats and dash/ceiling variations with pano. Thanks.

(mod note: moved out of the Mercedes B-Class thread) Certainly agree. Is the idea of sharing SC technology likely in the future? Would the strategy be one of gaining a smaller piece of a much bigger pie? Timing vs. Model X and 3 launches would be key. How can Tesla kill the 3 series if BMW...

This will range all over the map, no doubt, but what do you folks think? I'm focused on my own case, of course, but it would be interesting to dialogue on different perspectives. Please indicate your general circumstances (mine are 57 y.o., married, retired, last child in college, good nest...

So is it an EREV or not? Personally, I was excited to learn about this PHEV now being sold in Europe and coming to North America next year. I was thinking this could be a good 2nd car with many improvements over a Volt, e.g., >100mpg for normal split electric/ICE usage, standby for some...

Please add your thoughts about trunk+frunk space, rear headroom, and anything else. I'm hoping superior battery range, very close but slightly lower performance for base/performance/plus variants, 20% less trunk+frunk, superior rear headroom with a more elevated rear roofline, 5 seater...

Seems established as a great product for new Teslas. I have an older Mercedes that could use some touch-up of rock chips, etc. Has anyone that has visited a detailer for paint repair and OptiCoating of an older car had good success with a restoration at all similar to the before-and-after...

Is this posted anywhere? Are they annual, more frequent or is there any pattern at all? What impacts are expected on MS pricing with arrivals of MX, GF and Gen3? Thank you.

That would be my first Tesla cross-country trip with wife now that we're empty-nesters..........SC map says 2015. Any news on the empty stretches?

What exactly is the financial relationship between the two companies? I recall a business publication quoted somewhere on this forum saying Mercedes had basically rescued Tesla with a cash infusion in the early days prior to launch of products. Was it a loan or an equity stake, and what is the...

What are your experienced tips for charging a Volt or Tesla S85 from such a dryer outlet? I'm thinking of using what I have with a new car (at some point) until some experience points me towards an HPWC or other hardware. For example, should I be worried/careful about frequently unplugging and...

How much space between the back of the front seat and the edge of the back seat when front seat is all the way back? Any general comments on how comfortable the back seat is compared to other cars, how tall a person can sit in the back, etc.? Thanks.
