    Founders or Base?

    Don't expect more than bragging rights on the founders series. I reserved a signature S in 2009 and to this day can't figure out what I got over a standard S other than the signature red as an option. Back then you could resreve a fully loaded standard S with 85kwh battery for about 2 grand...

    Getting refund for roadster reservation

    I don't mean to sound cruel but I hope all these requests for refunds were reservations placed before mine. I want to get my roadster before the DMV revokes my license due to old age or worse, senilty.;)

    Recommendation for Auto Body Shops (Florida)

    Hi Nigel, what did you have done on your roadster? I might have to get the front end of my S repainted soon. Lots of tiny chips from crap being thrown up from other cars. 54,000 miles, starting to show her age.

    Supercharger stations

    SOC is also a factor. The fastest charging occurs when the battery is nearly depleted.

    Supercharger - Brandon, FL

    TECO uses directional borers and will probably access both transformers. This may take some time. Don't know how deep they need to go, that may be a factor as well. I watched the gas company use this method to get access to natural gas onto my property from across the street.

    Miami to Boston

    I just got back from DC. Charged up at Savannah to 238 miles rated and arrived at St Augustine with about 56 miles remaining. I set the cruise control to 68. Hope that helps. BTW we had some real heavy rain that slowed us down but didn't seem to affect the miles much.

    Carpet Art from Service Center

    No, it's ok to complain. Customer satisfaction is Tesla's number one concern. Tesla is striving for consistency in all stores and service centers. They would appreciate any comments to help them improve. If you don't get a satisfactory answer locally, than go higher up.

    I use an electric leaf blower after rinsing and the use the towels to finish drying. No problems with streaks or water marks. I too have opti-coat pro. I also have a soft water hose bib outside. Don't know if that makes a difference. My S is nearly 2 years old and still looks great. BTW I have 6...

    Supercharger - Brandon, FL

    Do you have twin chargers? Have you considered stopping by the Tampa service Center? Their HPWC is always available. I assume you're coming in from the northeast. There are also 2 chargepoint chargers within 2 miles of your hotel. One is in Longwood Park, the other in Lakewood Ranch.

    Post A Picture Of Your Car Charging

    I knew he was coming. It was his suggestion to bring the generator when I told him my concerns over the lack of charging facilities. Although there was an RV park about 30 miles to the south, I arrived in Americus with about 15 miles remaining. Pretty much dead in the water unless I could talk...

    Post A Picture Of Your Car Charging

    This was taken near Americus, GA during an electric RC flying event. There was nowhere to charge up and Savannah was over 200 miles away. So when my buddy came down from Memphis hauling a 15kw generator behind his mobile. Complete with a 14-50 outlet just for me.

    Vendor A beautiful Model S Signature Performance corrected and coated with GTechniq.

    Pete, I had my S Opticoated some time ago (early last year) but it's showing signs of wear. Would it be worth redoing with GTechniq or just buff out the small imperfections?

    "Too Much Range" Anxiety

    A plugged in Tesla is a happy Tesla. After 18000 miles and a nightly charge to standard over the past 16 mos. hasn't hurt me at all except for the anticipated loss of about 10 miles over that time period.

    Went to the airport last fall. But I live in Brandon (Lithia actually). Was no problem on a single charge. I understand the Nissan dealer in Sebring is alao a Tesla owner. Might be worth stopping by.
