I've been seeing more articles about Gallium Nitride (GaN) chargers and how much more efficient and smaller they are compared with traditional silicon based charging tech. Here is an example: This new HyperJuice 100W GaN charger could be the charger of your dreams I've been thinking about...

I wanted to pass along a recent experience I had with some old friends that my wife and I hadn't seen in a while. Recently, my wife ran into them at an event attended by their children and grandchildren. I wasn't there, but my wife says somehow the topic of Tesla came up and one of the grandkids...

Anyone successfully use Firestone for a M3 wheel alignment? My local shop did a rotate and balance, but said they couldn't do an alignment because "it requires special tools and needs to go to Tesla." I'm thinking they are confused, but wanted to see what others' experience has been. Maybe a MS...

So, I found these large plastic Energizer batteries taken from battery displays used in box stores like Walmart and thought they would make a humorous addition to the frunk for car shows. :D I don't really use the frunk, so thought this might be nice to have when the hood is popped at car...

Watched Stuber today and I would say it's the first time that an EV was a major part of a movie, even running down a bad guy with a "silent but deadly" punch line. I didn't like that it ran out charge and they managed to have it catch fire, although the voiceover blames propane carried in the...

Pulled into work yesterday and found the following laying on the edge of the parking lot. Someday, maybe we'll only find these as an odd but of rubbish to be disposed of, but pretty strange to find one in your parking lot now!

I'm discussing a Powerwall install quote with a local installer and the installer contends that Tesla's quotes are abnormally low compared to other third party installers. They are currently at $16,700 for a single unit. Can anyone share their non-Tesla installed cost for a Powerwall...

Anyone know if you can tour GF2 in Buffalo?

Anyone had to have the top roof glass section replaced and willing to share the cost? Rock hit mine today and cracked it. Will check into a repair, but feeling like it will need to be replaced. New cars are damage magnets, but I've never had so many things happen to a new car. :confused:

I was looking at the sentry mode footage for the first time today. After watching, I was thinking law enforcement in the futurehe would be looking for Tesla's near the scene of a crime to see if sentry mode captured anything just like canvassing local stores for security camera footage. I also...

I was watching Good Girls (NBC show) with my wife this evening and part of the plot was to get money quick and one of the characters decides it would be good idea to steal and sell a car for parts. So, she ends up stealing someone's fob for a Tesla Model S since she knows it's worth a lot. Of...

My dual Motor 3 didn't come with badging so I put in a request to have that applied the next time a mobile tech was in my area. It was taken care of quickly today at my home while I was on a conference call. Talked to the tech for a couple minutes after he finished with a complimentary vehicle...

So, the 3 needed to get it's WV inspection sticker finally. Took it into a local Chevy/Toyota dealer that we use to have that done. The check in person asked what it was and then said she couldn't find it in her system so she was going to call it a Camry. I warned her that it was going to be...

So, finally got my AWD 3 after the long wait. I've been working from home for the past couple years and just started going into an office last week. Decided to drive the Tesla and 1 minute into my commute, I meet a suicidal deer on the run across a subdivision road. Fortunately, it was a low...

Took the 3 on a trip today from Martinsburg to Morgantown today. It's about 150 miles mostly on I68 one way. I noticed after driving for a while that my feet and even the seat bottom felt too warm. My passenger also commented. I suspect it's heat from the battery during heavy load climbing...

Sorry if this is a duplicate post... Subscribe to read | Financial Times I'm not a FT subscriber and this came up for me, so hopefully the link works. Otherwise, you might just search for it by title. Some interesting cost estimates of Tesla vs others.

Quick supercharger billing question. I noticed on a road trip on 10/26-27 that I was not billed for the superchargers I used in Morgantown, WV, Charleston, WV, Weston, WV or La Vale, MD. However, I was billed when I used a local supercharger in Martinsburg, WV on 10/22 and 11/3. Anyone else see...

Like many, I've been waiting for my Model 3 for a while. Tesla found a close match for me and was having the car shipped from Mt. Kisco, NY to Rockville, MD for delivery tomorrow. I had a VIN and everything, yay! Of course, I got a text today with the usual delays, blah, blah and moved my...

Hey, don't know if this is the right forum area, but was playing around with the words to "Santa Baby" in my head and ended up rewriting the verses as a Christmas wish list to Elon as a fun little holiday exercise. I know, I know, don't quit my day job...
