Interesting little video: Apologies if it has already been posted. ~Larry

Across the street from the Buttonwillow Supercharger this morning. Driver asked why I was taking photos. Told him I was driving a Tesla. I pointed out the charger across the street. ~Larry

My Model S 85 with RWD only must be one of the last, the cars now offered with 90 kWh only. Anybody know where the VIN cut-off is? (I'm 127,574) ~Larry

Hello Friends. I am trading in my 2014 Model S, with 33,000 miles, in great condition, needing tires soon. This car has Tech Package, Air Suspension but no Pano and no driver assist as it was not out when I bought it, fabric seats, 19" wheels. It is important I think that the car still charges...

Teslarati has the first leg of a 500 mile attempt. It is "live stream". How would I find more of his video? (Tried searches) ~Larry

The current Scientific American has an article, page 26, of interest: "Water, Water Everywhere". Shown is a small motor running on the so often proposed principle of the over-balanced wheel. It is not a perpetual motion device, a true motor. ~Larry

The California Legacy Plate is here! I waited a year and a half for it. The visual impact is less; black plate on black nose. It is good. ~Larry

Looking for a tire shop, experienced with Tesla jacking and tire repair. Nothing critical - TMS comes on several days after pump up - but I would like to get it repaired. Traveling now but would be happy to do Morro Bay, Atascadero, San Luis Obispo or thereabouts. Any suggestions would be...

Am I reading this schedule correctly? It appears SCE is discontinuing the EV Time Of Use rate for charging. https://www.sce.com/NR/sc3/tm2/pdf/CE324.pdf Thank you, ~Larry

The Ft. Tejon Supercharger station 2B is defective. The clasp holding the plug has no tension. When opening the door for access, the cable falls out onto your car, plug striking it. It put two dings in my pristine Model S. 12000 careful miles and with parking only in isolated spots and the...

Rain in California after a long dry period ! Looking in the rear view camera or mirror I do not see much of a rooster tail or spray following me. Is is possible that with our super-slick air flow we throw up less spray? Probably would have to follow a Tesla to tell. Anybody notice less mist...

I got out my optional tire pump this evening, plugged it in and found it works very well. The pressure gauge is lighted, gee that's nice. Hah, the vanity mirror ...... Anyway, a nice little pump. ~Larry

When I am on-line and "click on" a link by pressing, it is slow to come up. Sometimes very slow. I tell myself that the signal is coming out of the sky and not down a DSL. I know that but still find myself tapping, pressing and rubbing -sometimes very firmly - on the screen. How does touch...

Now with no longer a need to go the gas station, how do we air the tires? Would it be a good idea to provide Tesla-specific air at the supercharger? That is with a secured hose set at 45 psi or whatever. . Gas stations are dirty, the people scary and are charging $1.00 for non-customers. I hope...

This afternoon I received a message that software (which is now 6.0) will be updated tomorrow AM at 1:30. What is this? I haven't seen any mention of an update coming on any forum. ~Larry

Now that there is a "D" for "Dual", did "S" stand for "Single" all this time? That would be a cruel joke.

It would be good to have the Gigafactory progress up on the home page. It can be found with searching but it is time to get it up for frequent reference. Go Tesla, lets get that thing built! ~Larry

The Model S is being sent to UK and other "British" countries where they use the word "boot" for the aft storage. We are calling the front trunk the "frunk". Will they be calling it "the froot"? ~Larry

There have been some posts about the Las Vegas and another Supercharger being in a "shady" neighborhood. It occurs to me that while we are plugged in we are trapped there. Should someone approach with a weapon we can't drive off. (Sure we can't drive off at a gas station but we are not disabled...

What is this ring? I see it on Hondas. Anybody know? Thanks, ~Larry

Amusing little video of a Model S and RC model: R/C Car VS Tesla Model S Performace 85 0-60 in 3.9 Sec - YouTube That these little cars are so fast influenced my choice to buy a Tesla. ~Larry

Hello Friends Please help me with these two issues: I saw this chart (screen grab)when I took my test drive and I have seen it since on YouTube and this forum. I can not get it to display and I note that the Owner's Manual does not mention it. Should I forget about it as being not applicable...

Electric motorcycles are in the news. They are being depicted as cool, fast and quiet. The way they come across is important to us; not simply with the typical FUD and fire concerns. The BEV motorcycle will aid us in our competition with FCEV. Is anybody excited about a fool cell electric...

We stopped at the Tejon Ranch SuperCharger this afternoon and were amused to see that "The Watchtower" had been left at the fixtures. Modern day Jehovah's Witnesses! ~Larry

Are the air bags used by Tesla OK? Those made by Taka and used by many manufactures are subject to recall for too much pressure. I hope our Model S will not be involved it this. ~Larry

California is offering "vintage" license plates; orange, blue, or black. The black plate would be much less intrusive on the Tesla nose cone. Classic California License Plates Return - NBC News

This snip is from Plugshare: Is this compatible with my Tesla Model S? Does the 30A refer to that other protocol? Thank you.

I saw some trash left at the Tejon Ranch SC and hope that this is not typical.

Sharing an article about delivery of electric buses. This factory is very near my home. The mayor mentioned owns a Model S. BYD Motors delivers its first two California-built electric buses to Antelope Valley Transit ~Larry

Hello All A very happy new owner of a Signature Red Model S here in the desert, The only other Tesla I know of belongs to the Mayor. Good man. We took our wonderful car to Del Mar last weekend. Had a great time but lots of confusion about chargers. Is there a tutorial with the very basics...
