I just ordered a 2019 red Model S with the standard black interior. Tesla just called to say they have a similar car on the lot that I can get immediately but with a white interior instead. If you have a car configured like this, can I have a look at it? Have you had any problems with cleaning...

Half the spots were ICEd today. I left notes on these cars. Anybody have any ideas what to do as it doesn't seem like the management will threaten/tow their customers. I was thinking to suggest putting orange cones in the spots as the Tesla owners will know to move them and they seem to...

Call me naive, but what is the "w-word"?

+100 on your comment tls. I've been trying to get this same message across to many suburban Tesla owners who assume it's easy for urban dwellers to set up charging in their buildings. I've even seen some callous comments through the years to the effect of 'if you live in an urban core, don't...

I live next to this SC and to me a $5.00 surcharge to enter, lets say up to 45 minutes, and charge, is reasonable. What it was before, $20.00, is not....keeping in mind that many Tesla owners in Chicago live and work not too far from the Loop and would be charging on average once a week if this...

I live in the neighborhood. I can guarantee this will be heavily used by the residents here at New Eastside/Lakeshore East, many of whom own Teslas and I'm quite sure many more will be buying the Model 3, judging by how many Model S and X's are zipping by me every day. In fact I was driving...

I swapped to my winter tires in November 2016 but we had no snow this past winter so it was useless. In a 'normal' winter I'd say swap to winter tires end of November and back to normal tires end of March.

I just booked. I wasn't planning to attend but got an invite from Tesla yesterday to the GF party which naturally I couldn't pass up. So I took the opportunity to also come to this event. I couldn't book the hotel with our special price, but used priceline.com instead and got the same deal...

This accident would not have happened if the truck was also on autopilot. 99% of accidents are the result of human distraction, carelessness and stupidity.

Hello Midwest Tesla owners/enthusiasts. And a special shout-out to Wisconsinites! Our Chicago Tesla owners club is planning a visit to the Harley Davidson museum in Milwaukee on Saturday, June 18th with several opportunities to join the daily activities. As always we welcome the opportunity to...

I've done the Illinois portion, from Chicago down to St. Louis, only needed 1 charge at Normal, IL. I plan to do the rest when the Rolla MO, Springfield MO and Tulsa OK superchargers are finished.

Great news. Thanks for the photos Subhuman.

Hi Fezzik, join the Tesla Chicago group if you haven't already: Tesla Chicago. There are 3 of us planning to leave Saturday morning, and are in the process of making caravan plans. We can all discuss there. Looking forward to seeing you again and super looking forward to this event in St...

To all Chicagoland owners and enthusiasts, and all points North, South, East and West: Join our new Chicago Owners and Enthusiasts club at www.meetup.com/Tesla-Chicago. We are currently at 95 members and growing. We have a meetup coming up this Sunday at the Rockford Supercharger followed by...

Yeah, I'm concerned about him as well. I hope he's ok.

Terre Haute is now live per Tesla Motors!

Ah, I've heard this "let them eat cake" argument before. Yes, the ideal situation is for every apartment and condo building to have chargers, but unfortunately we're not there yet. So you're saying that until that happens people who live in major cities like London, Hong Kong, NYC, should not...

We'll arrange for the Chicago group to come down as well and have a party

I have to comment after reading some of these posts. I agree with everything jbcarioca said. Last summer I drove my Tesla from Chicago to Florida and back and stopped at 12 SC locations along the way, including Macon twice each way on the weekends. As a woman traveling alone never did a feel...

I stopped there alone in my Model S at night last summer and as a woman I felt perfectly safe. There's a Meijer in the same parking lot and I walked to Steak N' Shake which is right behind the chargers. It should be perfectly fine.

Awesome first post Hookbill and welcome to the forum!

Excellent first post knockem! And welcome to the forum.

Based on Tesla's new maps, it looks like we will finally be getting our Supercharger in Champaign. Jvonbokel started a new thread. We still need to find out the location: Supercharger - Champaign, IL Anyway, I took a round trip from Chicago to Champaign last month to see my alma mater, and I...

"Tesla Model S owner abducted by ISIS while Supercharging car" is not a headline any of us want to see.

Yes, it is. Here is the photo from their facebook page:

I hope this link works for you. I also get it when I type 'Wisconsin Tesla Owners' in the search bar. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1444632232461996/permalink/1660567184201832/

It wasn't me but a member of the Facebook Wisconsin Tesla Owners group, and, yes, he has declared it open! I was hoping it would be up by this weekend so I can take my fall foliage road trip from Chicago to northern Wisconsin in my Model S!

That was as annoying as heck! It was so confusing that the blond lady wasted all the time "explaining" how it worked. Elon's combination of annoyance and amusement was funny to watch.

Good. If you guys can organize something we'll put an invitation in the Chicago Meetup group: http://www.meetup.com/Tesla-Chicago/

Hey Wisconsin owners, how about organizing a "ribbon cutting" or some kind of inauguration ceremony at Sheboygan. I think a lot of us Chicago area owners will come to that.

Juan, give the poor guy a break. I feel more sorry for the car than the supercharger. The damage to the bumper must be awful. I once nudged a SC stall at the Chicago Service Center and my bumper damage was much larger than the SC damage. The staff by the way told me no problem, it happens all...

The meetup group is useful for Telsa owners and enthusiasts who are not on TMC or don't follow these forums. We'll probably end up posting the events on this forum as well.

http://www.meetup.com/Tesla-Chicago/ The first event will be on October 18, road trip to visit Frank Lloyd Wright house in Kankakee, Illinois (about 60 miles from downtown Chicago). Please join if interested.

"I feel it would indeed be feasible, but with Tesla's recent stand against "local Supercharging", I'm not sure how to advise you. Toronto has a large number of hi-rise condo buildings, and, I believe has one of the highest rates of new construction in the world right now. This is going to be a...

I would gladly come over from Chicago if it was on a weekend, and maybe convince some other owners here to join me.

Here in Chicago the apartment building that has the charger I use paid about 2.5k in total for a level 2 charger (parts and labor), the charger is from a company called Eaton. They installed it as a courtesy to their tenants and therefore decided not to charge them for the electricity they use...

nagless, welcome to the forum. In my opinion the ability to charge conveniently while living in a condo/apartment is the big open open issue to solve if we want an EV revolution. I live in a condo building and I wanted the car so much that I was willing to jump through hoops. I bought it last...

I'm guessing towards the end of the year Tesla will modify its map to conform to reality, like they do every year.

I interpreted Charles message that he is excited about a Supercharger coming near him, not that he intends to use it on a regular basis. And your post is unnecessarily mean spirited.

He will announce 'lane keeping with automatic steering' and 'self-parking'. If you look at the design studio they are already there.

Congratulations on your purchase, and welcome to the forum!

I thought the stuff about the meeting culture in the beginning was really interesting. The "rules" Elon uses for his meetings make a lot of sense, but unfortunately are not used by the majority of companies, at least in my experience.

They're saying to prospective customers who are renters that they can use the Superchargers for all their charging. I can vouch for this as when I ordered my car last year, i didn't yet have charging in my condo building and specifically asked Tesla about this. Thankfully now I have charging...

At this price point, Tesla would lose many customers if they did not offer leather seats, it would be suicide for the company. Sorry FANGO, but I think the Vegan guys were rude and self-agrandizing. It's like the three of them got together and decided to sabotage the meeting, taking up a...

and that these local owners who are abusing the Supercharges are politely contacted by Tesla......anybody else catch that?

I like how Elon is answering the 'diversity at Tesla' question.

Battery swap not popular. Superchargers are fast enough for most people. Agreed!

At 2 pm today, we did our billionth mile for Tesla

He brushed her off quickly.....
