    A couple of months ago I was talking to one of the officers about my Y and he told me they were looking into ordering Teslas. I guess it's official now: https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2024/02/department-of-safety-and-security-begins-transition-to-electric-vehicles Will post pictures...

    NH owners being overcharged for registrations - check yours!

    Note to mods - Please don't merge this with the "Buying from New Hampshire" thread - I think this is important enough the it needs its own, attention grabbing thread title. Thanks! As noted by @MSMSquad1 in this post and following, the Tesla pricing in the database that NH cities and towns use...

    12V battery dying but no warning?

    So I think my 4 year old 12V is nearly dead, but the odd thing is I have had no warnings. The last couple of nights I heard the HV contactor click when I took the dog out for his late night walk. This morning I paid more attention, and noticed the contactor is clicking once/minute. I pulled...

    Not seeing sigs on phone in landscape mode - new phone or TMC changes?

    I just got a new phone (Android) and I noticed that I'm not seeing sigs when viewing TMC in landscape mode. I'm pretty sure that with my old phone, I saw sigs in landscape mode but not portrait mode. Both phones are/were running Android 8.1. I'm trying to figure out if this is: A TMC change...

    Liberty Utilities files for Tesla battery pilot in NH

    I debated posting this here or over in the New England forum (where it would probably get few views but more local interest?); New England won out for some reason. Anyway... Liberty Utilities files for Tesla battery pilot in NH (Mods - if posting the link is a no-no, feel free to delete or...

    Temporary loss of power brake assist

    Tonight, for the second time, my car temporarily lost power brake assist. The symptom was a very heavy/stiff brake pedal, with extended stopping distances (with very heavy pressure, I could stop normally). It felt like an ICE car with a loss of vacuum assist. The first time it happened (last...

    Can't summon/autopark with failing 12V Battery

    I couldn't find anything with a search, so here goes... A few days ago I got the "12V battery needs service; replace 12V battery soon" message (2014 P85+). I have a service appointment for replacement in 2 weeks. After the message occurred, I noticed I can lo longer summon/autopark. I have...

    What is the random widget in my UMC bag?

    Can anyone identify this piece of plastic? It was packed in the bag with my UMC and adapters in my CPO. I don't know if it is something official, or something the prior owner left behind. It has the "Pitch in" symbol on it, which makes me think it's trash. Maybe packing material of some...

    How do NH deliveries work?

    Can one of the NH owners tell me how the delivery/registration process works for NH residents picking up in Dedham? There's 2 gotchas I see that I don't know how they work around: Before processing a NH registration at the state level, your excise tax needs to be paid to your town. Most of...

    Model 3 reservation agreement mentions "authorized Tesla dealer"?!?

    This is interesting... Paragraph 2 of the Model 3 reservation agreement says (emphasis mine): The same section of the Model X reservation agreement says "between you and us or between you and another Tesla subsidiary (Tesla)." (ie, nothing about dealers). Insert appropriate emoticons here...

    Feature request - Subforum status from home page

    Is there any way to color-code the status of subforums on the home page (red if new posts)? For instance, the "North American" forum gets a red dot if there are any new posts in that forum or any subforums (grey if no new posts). But the subforum icons are always black. I'd like those to...

    Pole transformer sizing (or, can you really feed 7 houses with 25 kva?)

    The transformer that feeds my house decided to give itself an old fashioned Viking funeral around 9pm Thursday night. Unfortunately I missed most of the excitement, since the power wasn't impacted until the power company cut the power to replace it about 45 minutes later. With the house dark...

    Embedded YouTube videos w/ mid-video start?

    Is it possible to embed a YouTube and have the embedded player start mid-video? For instance, if you click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVL4wKnpx2U&t=46 the video starts playing at 0:46, but if I use the embedded player by clicking on the "Insert Video" button and pasting the same...

    Alternative Energy ITC extended for 3+years

    Fim/slide scanning services

    Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with any film/slide scanning services? I have ~20 slide carousels full of family photos my Dad took over the years that I'd like to convert to digital. It's way to big a job for DIY, so I'm looking to send it out.

    When is a P85+ not a P85+?

    Trolling Craigslist, I found a local dealer selling a 2013 P85 they took in trade. They claim it has the "Performance Plus Package (Upgraded Suspension)," yet it does not have a + badge on the back, and the dash display clearly shows "Model S P85" (not P85+). What gives? Could you order the...

    Number of users online

    Model 3 Timeline (speculation)

    Has anyone thought about the timeline for the Model 3? I haven't found much in the way of discussion beyond "release in 2017". I'm sure this is easy for people who followed the Model S/X development closer then me. I'm wondering if we can back into guesstimates on upcoming dates for the Model...

    Making adapters/extension cords? Free 10/3 SOOW cord

    Help me clean out my garage. I have an old 60+ foot marine 30A/120V ship-to-shore power cable taking up most of a shelf, and I want it gone. My aunt and uncle gave it to me when they sold their boat, but I have no use for it. This appears to be standard 10/3 SOOW cord, but it is old and well...
