    Supercharger - San Carlos, CA (LIVE 30 Jun 2018, 19 Urban stalls)

    I live right down the street ... I've seen this construction for some time now ... at least 3-4 months ... had no clue it was a super charger station. Funny thing is, just down the street, maybe 1/2 mile ... the old and now closed Crunch Gym is going to be a Tesla Sales and Service Center -...

    Vendor The Tire Rack and Axis wheels bring you the new Model MS in 21" !

    can the Telsa Original TPMS sensors be moved into these rims ... so does one need to purchase the TireRack versions ?

    Supercharger - Mountain View, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Sorry, didn't get the the text on the cable. But the connector is different, the cable is definitely lighter and thinner than most superchargers I've used between SF and LA. I also noticed that is seems like the posts have fans/cooling inside them, which I have not heard/seen before. I was...

    Supercharger - Mountain View, CA (12 V2 stalls)

    Tyl might know more than I, but I drove by late last night ... and ran into some friendly Tesla Employees, burning the midnight electricity. I say it looks like it could be days away, and they were a little more conservative saying it may be more like "weeks". Though, they indicated they...

    Supercharger - San Mateo, CA - Park Place (LIVE, 8 V2 stalls)

    This is awesome - just saw this thread and update today. I've been wondering why LA got so many urban supercharges and the Bay Area didn't. As everyone mentions, this is a very congested parking lot. And there are A LOT of Tesla's in this area. I'd bet this one could become one of the most...

    how many kept your old ICE around as a backup? And how long before selling it?

    I had a 2003 Nissan 350z (blue, 6speed manual) and a 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Quattro when my Model S arrived. I loved the Z, and it was my first brand new car I ever purchased, and did it all on my own. Drove it for ~95,000 miles over 11 years, dragged raced it and auto-crossed it. And within two days...

    P85 Model S upgraded from 416hp to 470hp but 0-60 mph rate still the same?

    Glad there is a thread on this too ... I noticed it the very first thing looking at the new specs on the models. None of the other press seemed to pick up on it. I just had my drive motor replaced at ~12.5k miles ( < 6 months ) due to a noise that was said to be an indication of a bearing...

    How many folks got a second mobile connector bundle?

    I got a second one, after finding out that the EV prewire I had in my new condo was a 30 amp/220v circuit. The HPWC requires a minimum of 40 amps. So I got a second one, with a pair of NEMA 14-30 adaptors. I was disappointed, but turns out has been a satisfactory solution for now...

    Opportunity Console - New Photos, Poll

    I'd really like 30-60 seconds to sit in a Model S with one installed. That being said, I got my email this weekend that my wait list spot is available, and I went ahead and ordered it yesterday. If its sort of drop-in (i heard a few holes and screws needed) - can probably have them stage it...

    Anyone traveled from Harris Ranch to Roseville Super Charger?

    I did the Harris Ranch to Folsom with a brief stop/drop off in Rancho Cordova on June 14th. It was tight. I did 68-70 MPH, and did very conservative passing, (AC on) and with the last 40-60 Miles, I switch into range mode. 2 adults, 2 children with luggage. I max range charged my P85+ to ~...

    Yet Another P85+ 21" Tire Thread - Mix and Match Front-to-Rear Brands?

    Before getting my Tesla Model S P85+, I drove a 2003 Nissan 350Z for 11 years. I drag raced it and auto crossed it, and had two other sets of wheels and tires ... some R comps for AC and dragging (all hobby, test-n-tune, street tire nights, etc) - so I know a little bit out different tires. I...

    Supercharger - San Juan Capistrano, CA (7 V2 stalls)

    The guys at the Tesla Store at UTC are super friendly - was just there this week. Give them a call first, Paul and Nate had offered to move the test drive cars as needed. A charge up to 260 Ideal Range got me from the Tesla Store at UTC to the SuperCharging at Tejon Ranch without stopping and...

    California: Interesting Model S Roadtrips using Superchargers

    RWC -> Hearst Castle -> RWC Just was talking to the parents, and this summer (~ June 2014 ), and with a P85+ Redwood City to Hearst Castle is about 190. A full charge at 265, heading to Gilroy is only about 40-50 miles, so the supercharger in Gilroy - not sure makes sense. How much time will...

    Watching for I-70 Superchargers from Denver to St. Louis

    I live in SF Bay Area, just got my Model S last weekend ... ( in St. Louis this weekend ) - and hoping to make the drive from SF to STL sometime soon - to show of that you can travel cross country in an electric car, and show it off to family members, some of which haven't heard of Tesla. Would...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Yeah thanks Btrflyl8e & xhawk101 - I don't see any Red ones on the Road in the SF Bay Area - I see a lot on the road here in Silicon Valley - but not red. If there a brighter Blue - it would have been blue, but that dark blue just doesn't cut it for me. There is a blue one here in the parking...
