    Leaving the Tesla family for an ICE

    I think you may be right. Struggling a bit on a road trip is one thing, but the day-in day-out of annoying or non-existent charging drained my patience.

    Leaving the Tesla family for an ICE

    There is no supercharger near me. And I'll assume you were joking?

    Leaving the Tesla family for an ICE

    Thanks! I may be hauling six people more regularly, so the Discovery will fit nicely I think.

    Leaving the Tesla family for an ICE

    I hear you. Just got tired of having to pick my housing and lifestyle to suit a car. Too many other factors in the living situation.

    Leaving the Tesla family for an ICE

    I haven't posted in a long time, and I'm sad to do it now. But here goes. I've had a Model S since Sep. 2014. A lot has happened since then (most of it great), but I find that I am one of those rare people where the Model S just isn't practical anymore. For two years, I've struggled with...

    Charging Error Using a Semaconnect Station

    Sorry the delay in thanking you for your post. I have been out of pocket. I'm not sure the issue is fully resolved, however, a Tesla technician speculated that my J1772 adapter might not be quite right (i.e., potentially unable to seat to the full satisfaction of this particular J1772 unit and...

    Charging Error Using a Semaconnect Station

    For the first time, I have encountered a problem using a J1772 charging station. Here are the pertinent facts: 1. Semaconnect provides services to a building where I often park. I have a Semaconnect account and the iPhone app so I have access to the chargers. There are two chargers at the...

    Katie's cars and coffee, Great Falls 3/12?

    I might be able to make it. I assume it will be the usual 6:00 AM? By the way, I saw a Signature Red X at Tysons on Sunday and was immediately wondering if it was yours.

    "Snowzilla" Driving Experiences

    I took the car out last night. Our street hadn't been plowed since late Friday or early Saturday. However, a number of the SUVs on the block had driven out. Thus, we decided to risk it. Raised the suspension and rolled out. Our street has a pretty big hill and going down was no problem...

    Having a hard time planning a trip

    +1 to this approach. Don't over think it too much as you've already indicated you are going to be using an SpC route.

    Alcantara, alcantara, alcantara !!

    Alcantara all over, including steering wheel and armrests, is certainly an option in a Bugatti!! http://www.ammonyc.com/detailing/bugatti-veyron-suede-alcantara-cleaning-tips/. However, I would be very hesitant to modify the steering wheel, remove trim pieces, etc. because Tesla can be touchy...

    Tesla Supercharger network

    I'm not sure I completely understood this post. Are you saying that California, land of the most extensive Supercharging network, isn't up to the task during the holidays? That's disappointing. Forget the ICE, stay home :wink: Also, for charging slots, do you mean a reservation system? I...

    Supercharger - Clearfield, PA

    I'm still hoping they add more on I-81. Scranton would be an ideal spot between Harrisburg and Binghamton.

    Can normal people travel in a Model S?

    +1 to ckessel's comments. If you are traveling the supercharger route, it's easy. Also, you really only need to charge long enough to get the next supercharger. However, as ckessel points out, once you are off the supercharger routes things can change quickly. For example, this past summer...

    Ticket While Using AUTO-PILOT " Failure To Stay In Lane" "Reckless"

    The problems of beta software. :wink: I have noticed that Autopilot has difficulty taking a longer travel line and smoothing out the ride in curves. Instead, it seems to try much too hard to stay precisely in the middle of the lane thereby creating a herky-jerky feeling over short distances --...

    Supercharger - Allentown, PA

    +1!!! PA seems to be a very tough nut to crack. I have some hope that things might change just because Binghamton was done so quickly, but PA and NY are plainly different situations.

    Audi Commits To Nationwide 150 kW Fast Charge Network In U.S.

    Audi's BEVs and charging network might end up being vaporware, but at least Audi is talking about going in the right direction, which is more than we can say for a lot of other car manufacturers (Toyota, are you listening?). Also, if Elon is to be taken at his word: the more BEVs the better -...

    Tesla recalls entire Model S fleet for seat belts

    Got the email too. As luck would have it, I already have an appointment for 8:00 AM tomorrow to get the tires rotated. I just called and they are also going to check the seat belt issue during my appointment!

    Supercharger capacity

    Tesla has trouble communicating as it is, and I certainly don't want it deciding my route for me based on the sometimes absurd instructions the nav system gives. Moreover, and far more importantly, the notion of pre-clearing my itinerary with my car company sounds far too disturbing. Papers...

    Infested With Ants

    I had ants my old Lexus after the service center left my car near a planting bed for three+ weeks. Let me make a much simpler suggestion as to where the ants might be, under the rear seats. No guarantee of course, but it's the kind of place ants like. In the end, some ant traps took care of...

    Rated range goes down quickly

    I find rated range drops quickly out of the gate maybe 5 miles of range after driving 2 miles, but then it smooths out (does not include leaving the car on). However, the other day, I was on a longer drive where the first few miles included a stop and my rated range dropped a bit, but after...

    Rented an ICE and hated it

    I didn't like rental cars that much when I had my ICE. Now with Tesla, it is worse in a rental -- especially remembering to turn it off and lock the doors. That said, in a few of the places I travel to there is Silvercar, which only rents silver Audi A4 and the price is right. Unfortunately...

    Supercharging letter from Tesla 8-13-2015

    Funny that AmpedRealtor should mention the communications folks at Tesla because they are no where to be found in the listing of upper echelon management available on Tesla's website, WSJ, etc. However, it appears that there is such a person, Mr. Ricardo Reyes, a VP-level employee. He is on...

    Electricity bill shocker

    Maybe this well the OP: I have a separate EV meter, and a very low cost per kWh for super off-peak charging (roughly $0.06 per kWh). In any event, looking at my March-July bills, in which I drove maybe 10,000 miles (very rough figure), I charged the car with 3,082 kWh of electricity and paid...

    How trustworthy is Tesla's predicted "2015, 2016" supercharger map?

    Dead on!! Frankly, I'm not looking to make a 700-mile detour when driving by myself. I already made a much smaller detour, roughly 70 miles, three times this summer (same trip each time) and concluded that it was workable but irritating, especially since the longer route required using I-95...

    How trustworthy is Tesla's predicted "2015, 2016" supercharger map?

    I hope that Tesla is never "finished" building out the Supercharger system. As the number of Teslas on the road increases, the need for more Supercharging locations will grow and current locations will probably need to be expanded too. I don't really know what the ideal number of supercharging...

    Car wash

    I've taken it to touchless car washes (i.e., gas stations where the cleaning is done through spraying only), and you just sit in the car without moving. That said, I try to avoid them if possible because you don't really know what they are using in these systems and it tends to hit the windows...

    Bummer - Three weeks on train?

    Rail service is not usually a just-in-time scenario. Plus, Tesla may still be working out certain kinks based on the postings in this thread.

    Bummer - Three weeks on train?

    I was just in Chicago on a rail inspection trip. It's looking reasonably fluid at the moment. Also, the Chicago Transportation Coordination Office (admittedly a collection of railroads inclined to report good news) indicates in its latest report to the Surface Transportation Board that...
