Couple of points about the temp. up near the roof: 1. You definitely need to buy the interior UV screens! They were included with our MX but had to be purchased as accessories for our M3. The MX was unbearable in summer heat without its screen in place. The M3 has two separate screens to be...

Thanks a lot, Lloyd and Krazaak: you were both correct. I have to say I was surprised to find that they had retained my credit card info, but there it was. We bought an X back in 2016 when they all have unlimited charging so I've never had to worry about paying for juice before. I'll be very...

My 6 months free supercharging period will end in a few days while I'm on a 1,200 mile road trip. I want to make sure I'm all set to continue using the supercharger network on my trip as a paying customer but don't know what needs to be done to ensure they will not stop charging for me. I would...

Thanks a lot for the manual link, ecarfan. Yep, I agree with you about the M3's current and future features. Very cool Roadster # as well! Our M3 is being delivered on the 20th so I want to read up a bit on how to drive it with no dashboard instrumentation. We have unlimited supercharging on our...

Also good to know. I guess I'm happier to buy now and receive the 7.5k tax credit in 2018 for sure rather than wait. Thank you TheLocNar.

Good to know. Forewarned is forearmed; just have to remember to come over the driveway lip at a little bit of an angle, one wheel at a time. Thanks trm2 & SVMike.

After two year of loving our MX, we're scheduled to receive a M3 next week and I'm trying to find out a little more about what I've bought. I guess I'm not smart enough to find the M3 Owner's Manual their website to look this up for myself, so I'll ask you--generally--friendly folks: I've got a...

Just wanted to follow up on the advice you guys gave me last week. I ended up following I95 along the northern shore of Long Island Sound and crossing the Hudson at Tarrytown. Traffic was slow but not impossible. I was impressed by the New Haven bridges and waterfront; looked rather futuristic...

Thanks for your vote of confidence in the sub museum, amimorph; I would love to see it if I'm not feeling too pressured to move west of New Haven before rush hour today. Would like to git 'er done asap because of the rain threatened tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for the Sub link, tga; I'd really enjoy checking that out. I guess I can use the Google traffic indicator colors at the GW to help me determine if I want to roll the dice and go into the city. I appreciate your help.

I'm with you, EdA, as far as avoiding crazy busy traffic at all costs. I suppose this Merritt Parkway will be indicated by signage in advance. I'll look out for it. Thanks for your good wishes as well as your help. I've put in 1,600 miles in the last six days; no great shakes I understand, but...

Thanks for the good tip, tga; it looks as though I will save 26 miles and 21 minutes your way. This way also leaves open the GW Bridge option if, for some reason, that might seem to be doable. Now a tourist question, if you please: Is there any way a guy just walking in off the street could see...

1. What about those 3Q18 numbers! Unreal! 2. Okay, what do you guys think of this? I believe it achieves my goals, even if it will take a while tomorrow. (A 90kW MX is not an option with this app. but I'm fine using the 75kW calcs; they kinda make up for my lead foot burning through the battery...

Thanks for your help, Gwgan. Question: on Thursday, i.e., tomorrow, how "off" are off-hours? I'm planning to leave Sagamore Beach MA at 100% around 13:00 or so.

Thanks a lot, both EdA and dipstick1. We've been driving MX 14393 for two years this month. It's a 90D so range has not been an issue up here, even heading to out of the way places like Brooklin ME. I'll check out your suggestions and let you know how it looks to me. Mighty neighborly of you, as...

Really, I think my specific question is how to go from Providence RI to Harrisburg PA in the middle of the trip; the two ends seem pretty clear to me. The Tesla trip-planner apps want to take me across the Hudson in NYC but that entire route seems to cut across what I imagine to be some of the...

Thanks a lot for this info. I really appreciate receiving straight-forward actionable intel on this.

I love this option, idoco. The hurricane would arrive probably Wednesday afternoon and I doubt our local SC could have the OEM hitch attached before then. But, this is still a great idea; I'll give it a try before the snowfall and tractor-trailer towing season begins here.

Now, you're talking, John. This is the kind of a little outside the box creative problem-solving I expected to receive from my fellow owners. Glad to know I'm not the only man to take his partner's wishes into consideration.

And again, thanks, BerTX, for addressing my actual question. I'm convinced that I had a bad idea. A quick call down to the marina should determine whether or not they will be able to move the boat trailer. If not, we'll take my friend's SUV which is equipped with a hitch. We were just looking...

Thanks a lot for a practical reply, SSedan! I appreciate your addressing my actual question. Sounds as though I have a bad idea, so thanks a lot for letting me know that.

Well, I guess we're living in different worlds, my friend. My life partner takes great interest in any activities of mine which she feels might bring me harm. In addition to the trailer hitch, another example is that she won't "let" me drive more than 14mph over the posted limit (when she's in...

Well, as mentioned in my original query, the goal is just to move the . I'm just a dumb Southerner, as our President would say, but my guess is that it's more likely to be illegal to drag tin cans down a public thoroughfare than it would be to pull that trailer around in a boat yard on private...

I'd like to use our MX (14393) to help a friend tow maybe a 3,000 lb. boat trailer a short distance--probably only a few hundred yards--around a boat yard to a safer location in case of a hurricane. My partner won't let me install the trailer hitch because she's afraid I'll want to go out in...

Good tip; thanks a lot. Now about those pesky scratches I put into the glass....

When some pine sap proved resistant to regular cleaning with Windex, then with just a wet paper towel, my partner--who actually owns our MX--suggested I stop right there and ask for advice...but no, I wanted to resolve this one problem myself. Now I have two problems: the pine sap is still there...
