    Supercharger - Conway, AR

    The drive from Little Rock to Springfield is just a tad scary for a 6 year old X100D. Now just add one close to Branson and we'll be cookin' though this removes some anxiety.

    Supercharger - Brinkley, AR

    Great news. Little Rock to Springfield is nice but nerve racking. Last time finished with 10 miles. Too close for me. And now won't have to blow another hour getting to/from Memphis charger headed to St Louis from Houston.

    Supercharger - Little Rock, AR

    Just did this (opposite direction) a couple weeks ago. Lot's of windy, hilly, 2 lane highway. Did it in a X100D with no anxiety. We did have a couple delays due to accidents on the highway between Springfield and Branson. MUCH prettier drive than Memphis to LR or STL to Memphis.

    What is the least attractive color for Model 3, from your observations?

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though that being said, what the heck are some of these folks thinking when they do one of the really weird wraps?

    Driver side door wont open

    Just went through this exact issue. It was a failed actuator for the door. Took one day to order and get into SC and half day to replace. No charge.

    Software Update 2018.24.1 12dd099

    Every time I read about someone who jury rigs a mechanism so they don't have to keep hands on the wheel I think about Darwin Awards. Chlorinating The Gene Pool. Folks get what they deserve. At least we will chlorinate the gene pool ;-)

    A Better Routeplanner

    @blincoln I have a saved trip from Eureka, Missouri to Humble, Texas. I had it route me through the Springfield, Missouri SC but it appears ABRP no longer recognizes that SC. I only get a waypoint marker not a Tesla marker. I plan to take this route since Plugshare still shows that SC as good...

    @blincoln are going to be able to keep ABRP alive with the changes in Google Map API rates? I imagine you get many thousands of api requests per day that could drive your expenses pretty hard.

    Supercharger - Little Rock, AR

    Agreed. Adding almost an hour to get to the Memphis SC is painful. This is why we are considering STL via I44 to Springfield then US65 south to Little Rock. Sure will be nice when they open a SC on I40 just west of Memphis.

    Supercharger - Little Rock, AR

    We have driven StLouis, Mo - Houston via Little Rock several times and have always had a good charge rate there. Also stayed at the new TRU motel this last time. Reasonable and just across the parking lot from the SC's. We've done 1 Stl - Rolla,Mo - Springfield,MO - Little Rock,AR -...

    A Better Routeplanner - for Model X Too

    Doing some planning today and found a very strange routing. Check out A Better Routeplanner Going from Litter Rock supercharger to Eureka, Mo via Springfield, Mo Trying a new route instead of LR to Memphis the 55 north but it REALLY likes 55 northbound ;-o

    Planning a route on my Chromebook tonight and as shows the route it constantly shows the detail window. I close it and it just opens again seconds later. Haven't seen the before and use your app a bunch.

    Taking delivery out of registration state?

    We took delivery of our X in St Louis, MO but registered it in TX. Drove for a couple months on temp plates from Tesla. Had to have them ship new temp plates since new plates had not yet been delivered. They registered the car at HQ since TX allows this. All fees were taken care of by Tesla...

    A Better Routeplanner - for Model X Too

    @blincoln I bet there are "some" owners that would be willing to let you automatically collect charging data for some period of time in order to get better data points. You might ask for volunteers and then limit the data collection to some period of time, a week, month or something reasonable...

    Texas sales tax on new inventory 100D Model S I just ordered

    We took delivery in St Louis but live in Houston. Tesla paid the TX sales tax and registration. They next day shipped the plates and sticker once we had the inspection done in TX at the Service Center. All payment was done via check, a damn large check ;-)

    When you save a route, can you also save "Do Not Use" flags on SprC's?

    Nacogdoches, TX Construction

    @Missile Toad Thanks a ton !!! This will be our first long distance trip, St Louis to Houston. Not stressing too much but will be glad to have it under my belt.

    Nacogdoches, TX Construction

    Another week has passed. Any news from Nacogdoches? Heading that way in two weeks. This would cut a lot of miles off our trip.

    Nacogdoches, TX Construction

    Total Solar Eclipse - Aug 21, 2017

    Just drove I55 through the totality zone in southern Missouri. All along the highway they have signs warning "No parking on the shoulder" Guess they expect people to be "stupid". What am I saying, of COURSE they are expecting folks to do dumb things.

    Optimum No Rinse (ONR) Convert

    I'm also a convert. I have been investigating the best way to wash my upcoming new MX100D. I found the ONR stuff and started using it on out Volvo XC90 and have been HIGHLY impressed with the results. I ended up buying the ONRW, Detailer and wax. Along with a set of microfiber towels from...

    Evtripplanner Down?

    Apparently they have only opened up the Google Maps API to the evtripplanner.com and NOT to the ip address.
