    How frequent is everyone seeing 3s in the Seattle area?

    Living in East Side, seeing 3 fairly often. Probably 3-4 per day with 5 miles commute.

    New Supercharger locations in 2017, WA

    Dan's Market used to charge a small parking fee for Oct Festival and there might be a way to minimize ICE'ing... I really hope so. It is pretty good location.

    Supercharger - Burlington, WA

    Bellingham will be super awesome. I want something close to the border. Bellingham will make Mt Baker more accessible as well.

    Supercharger - Vancouver, WA

    This is great. This will make my Seattle-Portland trip more enjoyable. Maybe I don't have to pay for premium hotel for the destination charger so that I have enough juice to drive around and coming back to Centralia without worrying too much.

    Firmware 8.1

    I have no issue with homelink after the upgrade. I upgraded yesterday morning at work, had no issue when I got home and had no issue when I pulled out of garage in this morning. I haven't used AP that much because it is dark and raining, but it will be great to see the improvement that was...

    Supercharger - Monroe, WA

    I also noticed it couple of weekend ago when I stopped by to visit Leavenworth. I will do that next time as well.

    9 (Additional!) New Superchargers Locations in WA

    This is very exciting. Not only they are really committing to making SC available city areas but Enumclaw and Tacoma. Those two locations are very nice, something I want more than Seattle area (including Kirkland) availability.

    The Seattle Area Needs More Superchargers

    Agree. If they wanted to put one more north of Seattle, though, they could have put it more close to Canadian border. At least I could visit Mt Baker and upper part of Cascade with peace of mind. I am still scratching my head... Why Arlington out of so many better places?

    New Supercharger locations in 2017, WA

    I think that may be too faraway from I-5 and with reasonable traffic (at least 10 years ago.. I hated the whole 196th from I-5 to Hwy 99.). There are two hotel/inn right next to Lynnwood Transit Center and I am kind of guessing that might be a good candidate.

    New Supercharger locations in 2017, WA

    Alderwood Mall is actually the worst spot I can think of in Lynnwood. I don't know if the local traffic is better now but as far as I can remember, it really sucked. I don't go there as often but the last time I visited there, I still didn't enjoy it. I can't think of it better with Costco...

    Supercharger - Monroe, WA

    Exactly. I would much prefer SC to be available about 60-120 miles from my home and my trip destinations so that I can better utilize it while I am not near home.

    New Supercharger locations in 2017, WA

    That is my biggest disappointment. I really wish Mt Rainier is being covered. Not sure why there is Arlington planned when there is already one in Mt Vernon. Is there a large population with Tesla in Arlington commuting to Seattle area?

    Model S REST API

    Same here. Even the official app doesn't work. EDIT: Actually I can connect to API sometimes but it always returns the vehicle state as unknown. Also data request to any state returns HTTP 408.

    Model S REST API

    I did that yesterday after work because it was not touchable. :( Maybe I will shutdown the car today when I get home and restart completely. EDIT: Well, why not do that now...

    Model S REST API

    For the last couple of days, I am seeing that my car is not going into the sleep mode. I am using python library and my code delays the poll interval up to 30 minutes (exponential back off) when my car is not moving. It always checks the "status" from vehicles object and make sure it is "online"...

    Letter to Mr. Musk from a 1-day old outdated Model S owner

    So people who bought the car in Q3 wouldn't buy the car if Tesla announced it yesterday with longer heads-up? I don't understand this heads-up logic, unless people feel happier because the first AP2.0 car won't be immediately available. It doesn't change the decision for the purchase during Q3...

    Letter to Mr. Musk from a 1-day old outdated Model S owner

    Wait.. how is that apple-to-apple comparison? This is the same as people buying the BMW right before the announcement. If you argue other car makers have yearly update so people can time better, I think it is a fair argument, but I am not sure if this is the same comparison.. Tesla just has a...

    Supercharger - Aberdeen, WA

    How long does it usually take to complete one? Trying to project when I would be able to do the road trip around Olympic Peninsular.

    Body Panel Alignment Issues

    Yeah, that is exactly what I am debating on. My wife believes the car shouldn't be adjusted by non-manufacturer unless it needs the real body work. I am also thinking similarly, but just because I am worried they might screw up more at the end, especially like having rattles. That is why I am...

    Body Panel Alignment Issues

    I think I can live with door somewhat and trunk as well but the frunk cover is really bad. My DS said it is within the spec when I brought up during the delivery but I didn't agree so I brought it up again when I was making the schedule and the service person agreed to fix it without a...

    Body Panel Alignment Issues

    Has anyone gone through with SC to address the issue? I looked more carefully last couple of weeks as my eyes are getting more familiar with the car and I've found several more misalignment. I was just contacted by SC about this and I am wondering what the experience is like for everyone. If SC...

    The Seattle Area Needs More Superchargers

    Sure, it might, if and when Tesla changes its specific goals. Never said it never will. The current priority is wider SC coverage since that is the current goal. We can talk about the city SC coverage when Tesla has that goal. It is a moot point to argue about it when it is just "will" and...

    The Seattle Area Needs More Superchargers

    SC is not planned for everyday charging according to Tesla - Although I am puzzled why there are so many SCs in Bay Area. Everything has cost and there is always finite number. If Tesla is planning on installing N number of SC stations and they want to optimize for trip, not daily commute...

    The Seattle Area Needs More Superchargers

    I disagree. Putting SCs in all three areas is a waste to me. I think one near Seattle (even South Center) and one around North Bend would be better positioned. I would put one extra near Mt. Rainier area, probably somewhere on the way to Sunrise, for better NP access. With this and 101 being...

    Body Panel Alignment Issues

    Mine came with a bit of misalignment on the driver door when I took the delivery last week. I've seen some posts about this here.

    Alliant Credit Union - HELP

    Let me check but it makes sense. I have a different CU for my main banking and they used to do that (I think they stopped requiring it not too long ago).

    Insurance On Model S?

    Progressive here. I have my insurance with them for over 10 years. With S60, my insurance costs a bit less than $100 more per 6 months compared to 2002 Acura RSX, so I think that is fairly good deal. I have one more car and house insurance with them.

    Alliant Credit Union - HELP

    Weird. I just used the link that was available from MyTesla and they didn't ask me to open an account. I had to set up the auto debit for the payment and that was it.

    Final Day of Q3 Deliveries

    Ordered on 9/6. Production completed on 9/15 or so. Transition completed on 9/19 or so. Found out that there was email issue so my trade-in didn't get through, which delayed my delivery by a week. Just picked up my S 60 in this morning @ Bellevue, WA, location. I couldn't take a pic because I...

    Back to a "Meh" experience

    I have asked for waiving the destination fee right after I put in my order early Sept. They finally responded to me yesterday (the car is ready for the delivery) that they can't waive it. Meh. It sounds unfair but I am still taking my car because it was not a deal breaker and wasn't a decision...
