Can’t say yet for the experience but they have a ton of parking and this is a rural area. I’ve been going to Devon/WestChester/Princeton for 9yrs (well the few time I needed to and more for test drive and picking up new cars) and this is right down the street. Just be aware it is across the...

For this area (across from Archbishop Wood Highschool), the Doylestown Supercharger is at a Wawa on South Main "right up the street", 7.5 miles. The 15 minutes it takes to get there is largely due to traffic lights. Didn't even know they put one there in Ft Washington which is actually about...

Looks like this won't be up and running for Saturday/Sunday when I'm passing through...hope the Milford Rest Stop (two stalls each North/South) isn't packed this holiday weekend.

It was great to meet more of the folks from the forum and thanks for posting the pictures. I think we had 15 S and the Roadster. In your top picture we had all 8 stalls in use (load test!), 3 cars are across from the stalls and 4 more in the non-stall slots, plus the Roadster.

+1 If someone wants to dumb down the interface and remove important information (outside temp, decreased regen) then make it an option. In addition to Insane and Ludicrous mode they can add Oblivious. The information provided in the car view is useful, especially the "force field" as you get...

I agree that the interface, at least from video, looks ok but for missing the power meter. How are you going to know when regen is decreased due to SOC or battery temp? That said I am looking forward to the new "force lines" indicating objects close to the vehicle at speed. Around here there...

37' is the turning DIAMETER. I have two W211 Mercedes E500s. One RWD, the other AWD. My 85D turning circle appears to slot in closer to the AWD. I need to swing a little wider to make the 180 turn into the parking space I use at work vs. what I needed with the RWD, about the same as the AWD...

Direct air cooling of electronics, yes I wasn't recalling the details, it does decrease but the effect is negligible. Thanks for the refresher.

Actual charging rate will depend on line voltage (total Watts=V*A). I regularly see faster advertised rate since I'm close to the sub station and get about 245V@40A to the car through the HPWC (single inverter in the car). The power factor (efficiency) on this should be high but if the...

Is the AC set to Auto or On? Climate control will decide when to turn the compressor on/off in Auto mode and in my opinion it is tuned a bit too much for efficiency and does not do enough to maintain the humidity level, a problem if you live in an area with high humidity, but On I thought was...

I'm a transplant from New England (well, about 14yrs ago) and love the area, just wish they would stop adding more homes. It reads 45psi, something I checked because it does feel like over inflated tires and I was going to lower them to 45psi if they were at 50psi (double checked the sticker as...

Ok I'm convinced, this is anything but glued to the road, setting up an appointment. added feature, I've started noticing what I'll call a 'honk' sound sometimes when the suspension is going under compression quickly. Could just be bushings, started noticing it with humid weather and didn't...

"So I'm now realizing [VOILA!] that the lot owner could easily tie a CHAIN across the arches and give the key to MSers that might be ICE'd. Suggest a bright orange chain with the big links made of plastic. This would be a lot easier than dragging around big traffic barrels." If the owner...

About 2,200 miles on my 85D with the stock Michelin MXM4 (245/45-19) at 45psi. The car does not feel as planted as I think it should. Tramlines quite a bit (imperviously so on narrow open steel deck bridges), wants to wander more so than my two ICE cars that have 245/45-17s (one RWD, one AWD)...

1. Energy(L), Trips (R) 2. Temp usually, fan if running w/o A/C 3. Nav/Media

True, a lost opportunity in this case :-/ but the day before I had to do the the tour for some folks from another company site including a ride and just had two of the "how much range do you get" conversations before leaving work so combined with the Monday/Tuesday side conversations I think I...

Mine was in eastern PA within 7 days of completing build. Had the impression it came by truck as a more direct route but train is possible.

Driving home tonight I passed an older couple on a bench in this little 25 mph zone. The gentlemen holds up a hand to shush his wife's banter as his head tracks me with this dreamy look on his face as I glide by. I had to laugh to myself, I would swear his eyes were like saucers. I like to...

I have a soft spot for Navigon maps having had a portable unit long before they were acquired by Garmin. Loved the lane view and was glad to see that Tesla had integrated it for the onboard. It was an interesting decision on their part, use Google Maps for the input and 17" screen but use an...

I just consider it the Segment Planner. Was it that difficult to make it possible to insert a waypoint? Even if the waypoint is only being able to select a specific SC it would have been much more useful to, you know, plan-a-trip. I'm over the initial shock of not being able to avoid tolls or...

First two Supercharger stops ended up being in CT. I95 Darien North bound and then South Merritt Parkway (Rt 15) in Greenwich. All but one spot ICEd in both locations (lucky me) but in Greenwich at least those are posted as 15 minute parking if not charging, 45 min max when charging. Knowing...

Thinking the same myself. My old cars have axel lift points so I can do both front or rears at once. Not so with the Tesla. You might look at a mid-rise scissor jack, they are often rollable which can be a side benefit. Keep in mind unlike a swing arm you need ground clearance so you want to...

Great example.

Yeah, what he said :redface: Doh.

Two W211 E500 Mercedes with airmatic. My 2003 sedan has 155k miles and while two aircoils replaced under warranty, fine since though I should replace the rear shocks. My wife's 2004 wagon has 90k on it and I've done two rear shocks at $1k/each, no problem with the aircoils (years of lugging a...

Picked up the HPWC before the car arrived, even though I have just a single charger. Future proof and wanted to be able to leave the UMC in the trunk. Note that your mileage (heh) may vary depending on you line voltage (W=V*A). Substation is about a block from my house and a town...

You are so right. Only a week in my 85D and I had to take my old Mercedes (now a backup car...that I hope has a leisurely retirement...) over for routine service/inspection. Turned 155k miles (250k km) just a few days before taking delivery, it was well loved but I have to account for that...

+1 as well Many of you may not remember, but when cruise control first became mass market people thought it was an autopilot. Some stories may be apocryphal but there was always the one of the person with a new motorhome that set the 'cruise control' and got up to make a pot of coffee or get a...

Hiroshiy, I can't say for the S but I have had a similar problem with the front air-dam on a Mercedes with an air suspension. It clears when I park, come out an hour later and the suspension has lowered a few cm and scrapes. I had to get into the habit of raising the suspension in such...

My understanding was the service plan (say 3yrs) works out to a bit less than $600 year but is fixed on that 12,500/yr (whichever is reached first), or you can pay $600 when you bring the car in. I drive about 15k a year and figure I'll just pay $600 once a year regardless of mileage and bring...

Devon,PA still appears to be 7am-7pm weekdays and 8am-4pm Saturday...in fact I was down this past Saturday to buy a HPWC and saw a number of cars being serviced so they certainly have the demand for it. It would make sense if they set hours based on the area's demands like any car service...

Looking for an extra set of Model S factory rims, could be standard 19" rims or the Cyclones. Should be in great condition and available in PA/NJ or the North East.

Picking up of our first 85D in a week or so (Just shipped!). Might be interested in joining a convey from the East coast as a 'break in' drive :cool:
