    My Model 3 Got Wrecked Today :(

    The site of the crash is a few meters outside the I-90 "Mercer Island Lid", eastbound. My guess is that the racers were already racing on the bridge, which is long and straight and brightly lit, and continued into the tunnel, which is an S-curve with exits on both the left and the right sides...

    What is your alternative to spending $1500+ on the Wall Connector and a dedicated 240v line?

    My office installed two Clipper Creek 40A EVSEs, so I use those for virtually all my EV charging. When I get the Tesla, I'll carry around a J1772 adapter but almost certainly not carry a portable EVSE of my own. A medium-term project is to get my condo association to let me install a...

    Wall Connector install with Dryer Buddy using 30 dryer outlet

    VIN Assignment

    > For me the waiting gets a lot worse with each step closer. I traditionally play Springsteen's "Thunder Road" when I roll off the lot in a new car. This time I think I'm switching to Tom Petty, "The Waiting".

    Washington state’s electric-vehicle sales tax break to end

    To my knowledge, we have the February 2018 count of eligible vehicles (6843), and the average rate of new EV registrations in Washington is 275 per month. The tax exemption expiration is triggered by that 7500-vehicle report from DOL to DOR, and then it switches to a sunset date: the end of...

    Is this a P85D+?

    There goes my brilliant theory ! I checked the EXIF data on the photos and sure enough, they were taken on an iPhone 6. Oh, wait... according to the EXIF data it was actually an iPhone 6 Plus.

    Is this a P85D+?

    The chrome and badging look really cool, though over-the-top for my taste. The fact that the picture names as uploaded to the website are "Full_Size_Render.jpg" suggest that they are software-created renderings, rather than unaltered digital photographs.
