Am I the only one that keeps a running list of the next 5 supercharger locations I'd like to see? When I got my Model S nearly 3 years ago, the list was: Asheville, NC Greenville, NC Wytheville, VA Columbia, SC Raleigh, NC All of these have been built. Now my list is: Beckely, WV Hickory...

Well, that came out of nowhere. 18 Stalls! Near I-95/I-20 Florence, SC Supercharger | Tesla @BlueShift

Today is the first day I noticed that the total of active, under construction, and permitted sites exceeds 1000. We crossed 500 in October 2015, I believe, 22 months ago. Any guesses on the location and date that becomes #1000?

Since Tesla is doubling superchargers, quadrupling destination chargers and doubling stores/and service centers in the next 2 years... How about building a parts distribution operation for the eastern part of the USA? Maybe in Memphis, TN (FedEx) or Louisville, KY (UPS). Personally, sending...

I have winter and summer tires for my Model S. I carry a spare from the non-seasonal set in the frunk as a spare tire. I was thinking about ordering Model X, but with 1 set of All Season tires. Could I use another wheel from the Model S "out of season set" as a spare for Model X?

If it were up to you, what route in what order. For me, in order 1. I-40/I-30 OKC/DAL to Nashville (finish coast to coast I-40 - cut through a big empty area E-W) 2. I-81 Knoxville to N. Virginia (heavily used east coast inland route - boosts usefulness of I-40 route going west) 3. I-55 New...

Beyond the user interface changes on the screens, which I won't get into here, my perception is that there is a significant change in the throttle behavior in version 7 of the software. It seems that the throttle mapping has been modified from being more of a linear or near-linear nature, to...

Hi everyone! We at The Charlotte Electric Auto Association are hosting this year's National Drive Electric Week event in South Charlotte. We're less than a month away and are looking for more EV owners to sign up and help make this year's event a great one! The event is Saturday Sept. 12, 2015...

well, beyond using Superchargers for daily driving.... How about setting "location based charging" to include the daily setting. Then I could set my home to be 70%, but chargers that are free in the wild to 90%, essentially ensuring I get a full 17kW (1+ days commute) for free, as long as I...

I tried to find the average number of right turns made in a day by drivers in the USA and couldn't find it, so I will work from a data point of one. I make about 20 right turns a day, or say roughly 6500 right turns a year (removing work travel/vacation days where the car is parked). 6500! I...

So, have y'all noticed that there is a group of superchargers missing such that any single one inserted into the area would help stitch things together. The combination of no Augusta, GA/Greenville, SC/Asheville, NC/Johnson City, TN/Wythesville, VA superchargers makes getting from anywhere in...

I just drove home down Central Avenue and noticed in my rear view mirror, keeping a safe distance back, a late model grey metallic Dodge Charger. It appeared to be a higher performance than average version, but not a Hellcat, to my untrained eye. I made the left turn down my street and then...

Battery Hackers Are Building the Future in theGarage - Bloomberg Business

Serious question. Sure they are better, but are they $3500 better? It isn't as if the Model S at standard is devoid of seats. Please comment.
