We're proud owners of a blue Model X 60D which we use to tow our camper trailer up to NH and VT. I'm also actively working on EV infrastructure issues in Brookline as a Town Meeting Member, and on a state-wide "EV Ready" building code. Let me know if you're interested in working on EV issues...

Looks like they are planning a supercharger in Leominster, which will be handy for Boston->Leominster->Brattleboro camping trips in my X. While towing, my 60D has a practical range of < 100 miles, so Leominster will avoid having to detour through Springfield for a charge. Anyone have any news...

Looks like we're going to be doing the Boston march as well. It's at the common, though -- probably nowhere handy to show off our EVs. :(

Anyone interested in a Tesla meetup at the March for Science in Washington DC, April 22, 2017? We're thinking of driving our Model X down from Boston to DC, if we can put it to use evangelizing EVs.

I read this thread hoping I'd find some fellow Tesla owners interested in a meetup at the March. We're considering driving down in our Model X if we can use the opportunity to parade our EVs in support, something like that. Otherwise we'd probably take the train, it's easier on the kids...

Yes, that was actually my first warrant article for the Fall Town Meeting. It was dropped before Town Meeting because the town DPW assured me that contracts had been signed to fix these. But still nothing! There is a town Electric Vehicle study committee as a result of my fall warrant...

My app just notified me that I had a software update available for my model X. Unfortunately my X is over at the Tesla Service Center (coolant leak). Could this be 8.1, or is this just another patch release?

Any introductions would be helpful! Send me a PM. Thanks!

For others interested, here is the text of the three EV-related warrant articles I filed for the November 15, 2016 Brookline Town Meeting.

Thanks, I managed to get the signatures required. I'll pm you details, I might need additional support in the fall at town meeting.

Hi, folks. I'm proposing warrant articles for the November Town Meeting in Brookline, MA supporting electric vehicles --- in particular to try to ensure that new construction in the town supports electric vehicle charging. I could use five (or so) signatures from registered voters in Brookline...

Relatedly: I seem to remember that one of the plug sharing apps let you volunteer your charger only for specific times of the day. So we could post our personal EV spot for community use only Tuesday/Thursday 10am-4pm or something like that. Can anyone remind me what app and/or network allows...

Disconnect is in the basement. Don't want to deal with that every time I park, although the "Schneider Electric Wiser Large Load Controller and Disconnect" that brokerdon suggested would work. It's $750, though (!) and home depot indicates it's been discontinued. BrokenDon's suggestion of...

So... my disconnect will be in my basement, next to my main circuit breaker box. I don't fancy a trip to the basement every time I path my car. And besides, I'm not *that* paranoid. I just want a little extra piece of mind, and having the outlet only turned on (say) midnight to six am would...

I live in a city and will be installing my Wall Connector outside in a publicly-accessible space. Is there some sort of locking feature on the Wall Connector cable that would prevent others from surreptitiously using my charger "for free" while I'm away? If not, it looks like I'd be looking at...

Any luck with that? I live in the city and my charger is going to be accessible to the public but hardwired to my electric supply -- I'd love to have a simple option to enable/disable the charger only when I'm at home. It seems like that data I/O port ought to be able to do that...
