    Lexington KY tire service

    Good afternoon and thanks so much for the reply. Where is the discount tire store you're speaking of ? We're staying in a condo in Hamburg Farms for the duration of our stay, probably thru late winter next year. Somewhat familiar with the area but not entirely. I'm managing a construction at the...

    Lexington KY tire service

    Would you trust your new model Y to just anyone ? A tesla must be lifted in a certain way as to not damage the undercarriage, or more importantly the battery pack. The ground clearance on a model S is only 4", thus not allowing it to be put up on a normal hydraulic lift.

    Lexington KY tire service

    I realize there is the tesla service center in Cincinnati but does anyone have a recommendation for a tire center in the Lexington Kentucky area that you trust to mount and balance tires on your tesla ?

    Tesla cuts Vermont Tesla Energy team completely !

    A couple of years in VT is a long time indeed ! You're talking about a rural state with a total population of less than 700.000 people.

    Tesla cuts Vermont Tesla Energy team completely !

    VT is one of the least restrictive states when it comes to getting a solar installation approved. You file a certificate of public good when applying for application to proceed. It gives public notice of an impending installation. Took one week. As far as commissioning, TE put the net meter hub...

    Lifetime Average Wh/mi

    15000 miles driven since owned. 278 Wh/m average. For clarification, I didn't drive in the coldest weather months here in VT since my phantom range loss far exceeded my ability for my daily commuting round trip of 180 miles. Car sat idle from Dec 8 2017 thru mid march 2018 when a few warm days...

    Tesla cuts Vermont Tesla Energy team completely !

    I was informed by my local Energy Adviser that included with the Tesla downsizing was the elimination of the team consisting of Office manager, Tech Manager and Energy Advisers who were covering the state of Vermont. No confirmation yet but I am learning that our region will be covered out of...

    19" Slipstreams

    Sorry about that. If I would have read your original post closer I would have seen you mentioned that clearly. I'm clear across the country in VT, but it appears you haven't had any firm offers yet. PM me please with direct contact info and perhaps we can make them go away for you.

    Parking outside in very cold weather and not plugged in

    First morning when I drove the car at temps well below freezing. A consistent 20-25 degree F ride today. Stopped to charge from 65 to 82%. Will be interested in seeing if phantom drain is affected.

    What's your 90%?

    Looks like my 90% is 209 miles in a 75D that began life as a 60D. I've read other posts from owners who have had the same software "upgrade" who aren't thoroughly happy with the result. Is anyone getting near the EPA 257 miles on their 75D ?

    First saw this app reviewed by Ben over at Teslanomics. Welcome | Teslab Started using it mid October. Tracking tool for your car tracking overall efficiency of use, phantom drain and charging patterns as well as per trip calcs, etc. I am user # 4065 so I don't think it's widely known in the...

    Model S Grocery Hooks DIY

    I just put filled grocery bags in the compartment "below" the actual hatch trunk, a space where a spare tire or gas tank would be on an ICE car. They seem to ride fairly unmolested down there.

    Charging Percentage Poll

    I'm using my S as a daily commuter vehicle as much as possible. My daily commute is 190 miles round trip. Yep, no mistype here. 190 RT. Even though I had my 60D upgraded to 75D before it was purchased from it's original owner, it appears a 100% charge only yields a projected range of 239 miles...

    Tesla owners living on Dirt Roads, Your Thoughts?

    Lived on a gravel road for 25 years now. MS 75D with 25K on it now. Purchased in July with 19.2 K miles. Always run four snows from Nov to April (at least) on all our vehicles. MS will be no exception. Will probably refrain from using the S during our "mud season" when the ruts are way too deep...

    Canceled my day 1 Model 3 reservation... and bought an S!!

    Same here folks. Somewhat different circumstances. When 3 production was first announced I estimated cost of 3 as I needed it configured (larger battery, premiums package, two motor) would be in the $65K range when all was said and done. Found an S (non CPO) 60D, now configed for 75D with 20K...

    Refresh Model - weather tech or tesla branded ?

    Ordered weathertech mats for my 2016 S recently. Live in VT, USA. Not sure where mats were shipped from. My front set had the red anchor pad as depicted in the pics above. However, also included in a separate plastic bag were two sets of two each "spiked" anchors which snap into the whole shown...

    Winter range anxiety

    240 V 50 amp coming soon. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. You have no idea how hard it has been to get an electrician even call you back let alone install for you. Also talking to Tesla Energy, formerly solar city this week about a set of power walls as well as solar roof or panels to...

    75 kWh Battery Capacity Upgrade

    I had my 2016 S 60D upgraded by the previous owner to 75D upon purchase. Had it driven in by a member of the MN Tesla Club, a retired engineer who was a great help to us and a work=ld of knowledge about all things S and X as he has owned both. Anyway, he charged a few times at the SC's local...

    Winter range anxiety

    I think I win with the daily commute distance : 190 round trip. 75D here. Live in central Vermont. I've been charging to 90% and getting appx 211 range. I've only had the car for three + weeks now but have figured out a system. SC on my direct route, 1 mile off highway, 50 miles into trip. Only...

    Horrible Experience at Highland Park Model X

    How would you have reacted when a Tesla employee said the you weren't a "serious buyer" I am not a twitter user but have read that Elon does read and personally respond to his twitter followers inquiries. If you're that upset at the Highland Park treatment ( I would be as well !) tell him in a...
