    I70 Closure!

    I wished I had TACC, it would have made drafting a lot easier... It took a ton of effort to maintain distance and watch for deer and elk on the curvy mountain road from Craig to Rifle.

    I70 Closure!

    We made from Winter Park to Grand Junction last night.... A LONG day. 10.5 hours of travel total, 5.5 of driving, 3 hours charging in Steamboat, 2 hours sitting by the side of the road waiting for a semitruck accident to clear east of Rabbit Ears Pass. I drove slowly from SB to GJ and drafted...

    I70 Closure!

    My plan right now is to head directly from Winter Park to Steamboat Springs (99 miles) and charge there. I'm leaving this morning with a full range charge, so hopefully it's only 3-4 hours to get back to a full charge. Then head towards Grand Rapids (191 miles), if we are running short of...

    I70 Closure!

    Need advice! I'm in Winter Park, CO headed to Park City, UT. Leaving on Tuesday morning (or so was the plan). Planning on I-70, charging in Silverthorne, Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction... etc. all the way to Park City. Unfortunately, a giant rock and landslide decided to close I-70...

    I-84 — Pacific NW to SLC

    Definitely get the CHadeMO charger (L3 chargers in Madras and Arlington) and get to know the RV parks in your neck of the woods... Also, I always check my charging rate at Superchargers after about 5 mins to make sure there isn't a problem.

    I-90 - Completing the West

    Any update on the Wyoming gap? Looking to make a Portland -> Rapid City trip over Christmas. The Ritzville to Superior gap is possible with a stop as Cottonwood said, but the Billings to Rapid City gap is huge! US212 looks like the best option sans superchargers with a overnight charge at RV...

    Charging issues after Firmware 6.0

    Problem turned out to be a communication issue inside of the battery pack. SC replaced it with a different battery and sending old one back to the factory. Nothing to do with FW6.0, as far as SC could tell.

    Charging issues after Firmware 6.0

    Has anyone had charging issues after upgrading to Firmware 6.0 ? I upgraded on Sunday, and Monday morning noticed my car hadn't charged overnight, no worries, since I had plenty of range for the day. After returning home Monday night with about 40 miles of range, I plugged in and started the...

    New Model S roof rack from Tesla

    I just got a set of these crossbars from Yakima last week. I got them directly them the company and they are awesome. Here a pic from the Centralia Supercharger (will post a trip report for Portland - Whistler on Friday).

    Fishtailing at strong acceleration

    My P85 with it's 19" all-season tires on, fishtailed yesterday. I was 'mock' racing my buddy in his Jeep (just happened to pulled up to a light next to him). We take off from the line, not accelerating that quickly (neck in neck) just tongue-n-cheek, then I floor it at about 35 mph. I get a...

    I need new tires for my 19's any suggestions?

    I picked the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus as my 'winter tires'. They are all-seasons, but here in Portland we don't need true winter tires. I don't have a point of comparison to other 19" tires (I have the 21" wheels with Conti's).

    Two foot driving

    Last week I injured my right foot during hockey, which made driving home painful. So I used a 2 foot method (less movement of injured foot). At one point I hit the brakes before I had completely removed my right food from the accelerator and got a nice audio & instrument panel warning that...

    Cross Country Rally to TMC Connect 2014

    I think it's possible, but it will be challenge for most people. I think we will all gain more knowledge over the next 12 months about road trips with Superchargers. Charger location will be critical and the size (number of stalls) will be important too. I expect the ones in South Dakota...

    Cross Country Rally to TMC Connect 2014

    Aaron, How many miles do you think is practical per day? I find 600 miles in a ICE to be about the limit (and that's out west without silly east coast traffic). 600 miles with supercharging will make for a long day, and then to do 6 in a row.... I bet if a bunch of you guys from the...

    Cross Country Rally to TMC Connect 2014

    This trip is obviously highly dependent on Superchargers. I assumed people would join in at different stages along the way. If only the South Dakota -> Southern California route is open, that would limit the flexibility of this trip and might have to postpone the trip to 2015. I'm glad to...

    Cross Country Rally to TMC Connect 2014

    So I missed Teslive 2013, but I'd like to attend 2014. I've also dreaming of a cross country supercharger road trip. Yesterday, PDXTelsa had a gathering and short rally, which was great fun. Why not combine them? Anyone want to rally with me? Since I'm in Portland, OR, I'd transport...

    Portland, OR Tesla Trip

    Thirsty Lion is a pretty good place to eat. If you are willing to eat later, there are several great options around town. Kenny & Zuke's is a good place downtown for breakfast on Sunday, but there will probably be a line.

    Replacement Tire (21")

    So I was lucky enough to get a screw in my tire which was discovered during my first tire rotation. Service Center quoted me a price of $455 to replace the single tire. Called Sears and the price is $218, but they have to order it in 3-5 days. Going with Sears. Wish Tesla would offer a...

    Has anyone driven 1000 miles in a 24 hour period? This of course would require superchargers... On a motorcycle there is a 'Saddle Sore' Award for 1000 miles in a 24 hours. Iron Butt Association SaddleSore 1000 Guidelines

    turning light hysteresis on my drive to/from work, some of the turns are just at the radius for the turning light to come on. I've witnessed many times the light flick on/off as my steering wheel is just at the on/off point. Adding some hysteresis to the on/off point would fix it so it stays...
