    Supercharger - Raton, NM

    Hi from Colorado! I'm looking forward to Raton, Wagon Mound, and Las Vegas for my drives from Denver. When I drove down for the Balloon Fiesta last fall the strong headwind made Trinidad to Las Vegas a bit tricky in my aging S 75D. I ended up panic-stopping in Wagon Mound and using my CCS...

    Supercharger - Johnstown, CO

    I was there from about 10 to 1130 this morning. Tesla was there finishing up maintenance on a few of them and had them all up and running by noon. They said they should be open to other EVs within a day or two. They told me that Tesla had planned for 12 stalls as there are, and that the other 8...

    Supercharger - Aurora, CO

    I actually don't recall what was in the space before Old Town Hot Pot. I moved into the immediate area late 2018. That new King Soopers that you're talking about opened in fall 2019. They tore down the old one shortly after. One of the apartment buildings there is open and another one is getting...

    Supercharger - Aurora, CO

    I live very close to here. The H-Mart parking lot is usually very busy, but I always see lots of Tesla cars around the lot--they seem to be very popular with the clientele. I'd prefer that it be on the west side of this at the Kum & Go or in that other string parking lot behind Kum & Go (I'm...

    Supercharger - Denver - E. 67th and Tower

    I happened across this one just now when I was going by the Starbucks. I didn't take a good look at it but this was the picture I grabbed real quick

    Supercharger - Amarillo, Texas

    Update: I called Tesla support and they said that four out of eight of the stalls are out of service but that the other four should be working normally still.

    Supercharger - Amarillo, Texas

    It was working as of last Wednesday when I stopped there, but now that I'm trying to head back that way I can confirm that navigation says reduced service. Three of the stalls were out of service when I went by before. If anyone can confirm locally, that would be great!

    Tesla infotainment system upgradeable from MCU1 to MCU2

    I put in for a service appointment last week to see if I could get the FSD computer upgrade yet on my AP 2.0 car. I also asked about upgrading from MCU 1 to 2 so I could get full Sentry Mode and the new games and toys. When someone finally called me back, first he said the FSD computer upgrade...

    Buying a House with Existing SolarCity Installation - Roof Replacement question

    In case anyone is interested in the outcome: We had our roofer inspect and they recommended a full replacement for wear--there's no obvious hail or wind damage. The seller had their roofer inspect and they said they would do spot replacements of shingles here and there. When they found out we...

    Buying a House with Existing SolarCity Installation - Roof Replacement question

    To elaborate further, there's nothing in the contract about specifically getting the roof replaced; the requirement is that we are able to get homeowners insurance, or the deal will fall through. If the roof isn't in reasonably fair shape, we won't be able to get the house insured. The seller...

    Buying a House with Existing SolarCity Installation - Roof Replacement question

    @glide - it's my understanding that a significant portion of home purchases here are contingent upon getting the roof replaced (if it has not already been done so) because just about everyone experiences a notable amount of hail every year or two. That usually only takes a few days without the...

    Buying a House with Existing SolarCity Installation - Roof Replacement question

    We've gone under contract for a house in Colorado that has an existing 10.5 kW SolarCity installation from 2015. The problem is that the roof is in such shape currently that it needs to be replaced. Normally roofs get replaced before a house is sold in this area (if they've not been recently...

    Supercharger - Boulder, CO

    More pics of construction site from this morning (2018-04-01 around 1000). It looks like a section of the lot is dug up and there's also a spot where a curb has been removed. It's immediately next to Vitamin Shoppe between that and Trader Joe's. A lot easier to access than I expected but I...

    Supercharger - Boulder, CO

    Just moved to the area (near the Park Meadows Supercharger). Looking forward to this one going up to ease my range anxiety with going into the mountains!

    Blog Tesla Partners With Liberty Mutual for Insurance Program

    The quote I got via the Tesla link is the same quote they gave me through the normal route. It's straight-up $589/mo., which is absolutely absurd. Also, the phone spam gets real after requesting a quote online--even though I put in a fake phone number, they still managed to call me about 3-4...

    Financing Issues

    Thanks for the advice and sharing in my agony with me. I was approved for Tesla Leasing so I'll have my Model S in a couple weeks!

    Financing Issues

    I mentioned this in a previous post: credit score is north of 800 and DTI ratio is about 25-30%, so what other are saying is accurate. I can afford it. It might not be the smartest thing in your opinion, but I desire this car more than I desire a fancy house or apartment and am willing to forego...

    Financing Issues

    Point is that I have a decent steady stream of income, but not a huge chunk of savings or other liquid assets.

    Financing Issues

    @Brandon332 Your previous suggestions are good, but I've considered most of them already. 1) I won't lie on my applications (though I suppose I could include my bonus from this year as part of my income). 2) The only other person in my family who doesn't suck with money is my grandmother who...

    Financing Issues

    Credit score is slightly north of 800. It looks like my DTI is about 35% but I'm not sure I'm calculating that right.

    Financing Issues

    For reference, my annual salary is right around the price of the car.

    Financing Issues

    I'm a Model 3 reservation holder (stood in line at the local gallery on reveal day morning, in central time zone) and while browsing some inventory on Tesla.com, I found one that struck my fancy and decided I'd really rather go in for an S. My minimum requirements for purchase are AP2, Premium...
