    Time to Put on the (Ugly) Stickers in CA?

    I put the stickers on, since I don't want the hassle/waste of my time of being pulled over to explain to a CHP officer why I think I'm above the law by not putting the stickers on AND driving in the HOV lane.

    HPWC ceiling mount with boom for cabling

    I mounted my HPWC on the ceiling, coiling the extra cable in the attic space above, and using a hook/cradle to keep the cable out of the way when not in use. My goal was to eliminate any tripping hazard in my garage.

    Model X Suspension (very stiff) vs Model S Suspension (smooth)

    I find that our air suspension X100D rides softer (floats more, suspension travels more) than our spring suspension S90D. I felt similar differences when we ordered our S90D new, after test driving both the air and spring suspensions in an S. I like the feel of the spring suspension in our...

    California DMV - Plates & HOV Stickers

    As I recall, in CA Tesla is not considered a dealer, and therefore when we purchased our MS and MX, we had to sign a POA to allow Tesla to act on our behalf to title the car. In doing so, the DMV sent our new plates and title to Tesla, who in turn forwarded them directly to us. Any delay in...

    Supercharger - San Mateo, CA - Bridgepointe Pkwy (12 V2 stalls)

    Went to Bridgepoint again this morning (I'm taking care of my Mom, and there's no charging allowed in her building). Was the only one there again for a while. Highest charge was 76kwh, but quickly dropped to 60kwh after charging only 10% (from 50% to 60%). It took an hour to get from 50% to...

    Supercharger - San Mateo, CA - Bridgepointe Pkwy (12 V2 stalls)

    Been there twice over the past 3+ weeks. Both times, I was the only one there, and both times, the max charge rate was 60kwh. WTF? Maybe this is why I was the only one there for 30+ minutes.

    What goodies to expect with delivery?

    2-1/2 years ago, we picked up our S90D at the Factory; they gave us: a baseball cap, two leather fob covers, a travel umbrella, and a coffee mug. Yesterday at the Fremont Delivery Center to pick up my wife's new X100D, they gave us nothing. I told our "delivery specialist" that that is not...

    New Fremont Delivery Center at 47623 Fremont Blvd

    Does anyone know if they have a (super/destination) charger available at this location, so I can charge my MS while we are there to pick up my wife's MX?

    Looking for contractor in SF Bay Area: Garage insulation and flooring

    Ditto on what SMAlet wrote. On our first house (standard 2 car garage), I applied the Home Depot epoxy kit, preceded by the acid wash and rinse (and repeat, and repeat), and waited and reapplied. Followed all of the directions, looked great for a few weeks. Then is started to peel and WHAT A...

    Looking for contractor in SF Bay Area: Garage insulation and flooring

    I used Garage Solutions a few years ago to epoxy our garage floors and build/install custom cabinets. And I used Bay Insulation Inc to blow in insulation into our garage walls. I'm in Danville, also. Shoot me a PM if you want to come over and look/talk.

    Proof of tire wear benefits of accurate alignment and rear camber

    No, I don't have them. I was thinking about getting them, however when a post came up about a local installation, I was curious. in the mean time, while my S90D was in for its first annual service, I noticed that the rear camber was set to -1 degree. This does not seem too excessive...

    Proof of tire wear benefits of accurate alignment and rear camber

    Thanks. I suspected you would say Custom Alignment. Joe has done excellent work on our Superformance Cobra. I would trust him with any of our cars. It is a shame he is an hour's drive from my house... (Ah, first world problems...). Thanks again.

    Supercharger - Dublin, CA - Amador Plaza (LIVE, 14 V2 stalls)

    There will always be exceptions to every rule (and the personnel at a Service Center can be empowered to approve exceptions), however the key is to use the existing data for the vehicle to allow charging or not, and if allowed, then for how long. I truly doubt that Tesla wants to hire people to...

    Supercharger - Dublin, CA - Amador Plaza (LIVE, 14 V2 stalls)

    My solution is this: The software in the Tesla is smart enough to know where "home" is, so have the software disable SC'ing within, say, 20 miles of "home", unless the battery charge is, say, under 30 miles, and if under 30, then only charge to 15 min. Something like this would keep the locals...

    Supercharger - Gilroy, CA (16 V2 stalls)

    Stopped at Gilroy during lunch time on Sunday on my way from Monterey to Danville, and it was full. There was one guy in line ahead of me, and after I got a space, three more cars arrived and had to wait. Only one car charging had an occupant, the rest were unattended.

    Main Screen keeps rebooting by itself?

    I had this problem during this morning's drive (about 30 to 45 mins) to an appointment. After the appointment, not one reboot on the same (but reverse) drive home. This morning was the first time I ever experienced this problem. It is a bit unnerving to see the screen reboot while cruising...

    Coil springs vs air suspension

    I test drove a Coil Spring MS, then immediately test drove an Air Suspension MS (both with the same stock 19" wheels/tires) on the same roads to get a good feel of the difference before ordering our MS. I found the Air Suspension to be "too floaty", like my Mom's Lexus, where the Coil Spring...

Soft fleece on the inside and somewhat water resistant on the outside. I use them primarily indoors, only on a clear...

    Battery drain while car is left off for several days/weeks/months.

    In May I parked (unplugged) our 90D in San Mateo for a week in a open, yet covered underground condo garage - during that particular week, there was a heat wave in the SF Bay Area. My parasitic loss was 5 miles per day. WRT reboot, I've had to reboot the center console when the Nav system...

    Ugh, Got the no loaner available letter the day before service

    On Tuesday, the local SC called me about 1 hour before my appointment time to tell me: not only did the SC not have any loaners, the local Enterprise Rental Co had no cars either. I had to arrange for my own ride back from the SC and to the SC when the service was done.
