At this supercharger, the last four spaces are 45 min parking and the first four are Tesla only. This makes sense since it is so close to the playground/dog park. Still probably only about 20 percent of folks wearing masks but that might get better as most of the major stores in town are...

I've had a Tesla Modena jacket sitting in my closet for a few years because it is a bit too snug on me. So I just listed in as a charity ebay auction. Please share the link if you know anyone who might be interested: Discontinued S3XY Tesla Modena leather jacket - Womens Large OEM | eBay

Thanks, seems like I'll need it. The day before my CO appointment I did talk to someone who said they will send the info to the mobile team who may come up towards Casper once or twice a month. Did not hear anything further so rescheduled a couple weeks later. Hoping I can get some sort of...

It's live! Also learned this one, and all the other V3 locations, have four chargers to a post. So no need to park in every other spot.

Relative to the young ladies posting, I'd guess "older" is >30. I'll swing by on the way back from my office this afternoon.

Seems to be enough political will to get the SC built at Hat Six, but the facebook chatter when they teased the chargers was pretty varied/interesting! Apparently older single men driving Teslas are particularly at risk here :D

Yup, but Casper is the center of the petroleum industry here in Wyoming. I did mention both that it runs on Wyoming electricity and also that the vehicles themselves have the more American-made components as any other car. But the thing that seems to reassure him the most is that there have been...

Was there is morning and even though it's not on yet, one of the guys who works there said they were still expecting it to go live sometime today. He also said having the chargers there has been an unpopular decision with their other customers, with people complaining to them and even the...

Stopped by the Hat Six today and everything looks ready but no juice yet. Also, the Hampton/Hilton Garden Inn in Casper is down to one Tesla charger possibly. The plastic adapter piece is gone on the second one. I wasn't brave evough to test if it was still working like that, but snapped a...

I am near Casper and had to schedule a service appointment for the first time in a while because the buttons on my steering wheel stopped working. I was hoping to get a mobile service appointment, but I was only given the option to go to the Colorado (or farther) service centers. Does this...

OK, I've tried attaching the photo to the post. More importantly: I got lucky and caught the contractors as they were coming back from lunch. They told me that Tesla is scheduled to come up and commission the supercharger on June 30th. Fingers crossed!

I spoke to the business development person for the company that owns Hat Six, and they are really excited for them to be up and working as well. She sent me this photo of the work being done this morning. Looks promising! I'll swing by later today or tmw to check on them...

If Tesla wanted to go for a supercharger in the Prada area, I was hoping they would be able to do it at Sophie's Restaurant in Hadashville. One mile further, but WAY better food!

I had a full Xpel Stealth a year and a half ago. It still looks great and I don't think the maintenance changes greatly one way or the other. One piece of advice is to be clear on what a "full wrap" means. Some do the headlights, mirrors, etc as part of the package and some do not it seems....

Yup. Currently, the mobile device interpretation is correct!

The Hat Six Travel Center near Casper reported signing a supercharger contract with Tesla this month, giving a year to build... hopefully sooner! I'm glad, since that place is open 24 hrs and their renovations and new restaurants make it a good spot right off the I-25.

Well, Wyoming's EV tax increase was signed into law Tuesday. Below is part of the correspondence I had with one of my better legislators who provided a perspective that was likely the rationalization for many of the votes... which basically said (diplomatically) they need money and EV owners are...

Here's a chance to win an S P100D: According to the rafffle site, 80% of the proceeds go to Kimbal Musk's charity that is building outdoor Learning Garden classrooms across America and Omaze takes its 20% cut. I've nothing to do with this raffle, but have used Omaze in the past and they are...

@sakimano I was referring to range estimates on the navigation, thanks for the clarification. I had a conversation with someone who used to work on the software earlier this month. He said they used to use that simple calculation for the navigation, but over time the estimator evolved and...

Is there any information about this anywhere? I started wondering when I had to charge to 100% a dozen times or so on road trips and noticed the first 10-20% of the battery drops much faster than the Wh/mi measurement suggests,then levels off. This significantly affected the initial estimated...

It's the highway driving that eats away the range. The 295 mile range assumes driving at 65 mph. Over time, the car starts to take into account a driver's normal speed and tailor the range estimates. If strong winds are against you, that can also eat away at the range.

Yes, @f-stop is right, that SUV and sizing is the correct one for the X. And @SMSMD it was actually my sidewall that went, so there is some more evidence to support your SS's warning. Not a huge deal when there is availability, but a big problem if there are no replacement tires....

@smac @Tex EV Is there substantiated evidence that Tesloop doesn't pay for use? The driver seemed pretty non nonchalant and sure of it. If it's not true, good to know; no point in being snotty about it though. I've heard @AnxietyRanger's theory is that Tesla doesn't want to backtrack on the...

When I was in CA last month, I approached a Tesloop driver and asked him about this new policy... He replied that Tesloop has always paid for their use of the Superchargers. Which I found strange: If that pay per use precedent was there with Tesloop, why make it sound like all other commercial...

To be honest @mknox I had my stock tires on too short a time to make the comparison myself, but Consumer Reports tests rates the WRG3's rolling resistance as "excellent". I remember reading CR did test using a dynamometer outside of the lab to get these ratings and found the efficiency gain from...

Just wanted to add my unprompted review: I purchased this for a road trip last month and @Murphy’s Law went the extra mile to get it to me in time. Am I ever glad they did. I ended up having to use it 3 times in less than month, and each garage was impressed with it. Never know when you might...

I got Nokian WRG3s for my Model X this season which have been great except for the availability. I blew out a sidewall in one of the rear ones during the holiday and Discount Tire had only 4 of these tires left in the US. No other store could source them at all. I was impressed Discount Tire...

Has anybody else confirmed these repair lots? A number of people have been reporting deliveries where their Xs has been in production 2-3 weeks rather than the normal one week, and it is easy to imagine this is why: Better to fix them before delivery, I suppose... Waiting an extra week or two...

@dmd2005 Did you end up buying Hakkapeliitta 9s this year? If so how are they working for you so far?

There is also a site called OnlyUsedTesla.com that might be useful if you haven't seen it already. Best of luck.

Agreed anonymous message boards are not a form of legally binding advisory. I was sincere in saying I am not interested in selling, but I have sent those who messaged about it to the website above.

So how can you make a reservation?

When I was placing my order, I asked my OA how many Telsa were sold to Wyoming and he told me around 100. I mentioned this to Bighorn a while back and he estimated 60 to be a more realistic number.

I was planning to get my Tesla's first set of winter tires which are not a brand that Tesla offers directly. I sent a question to my OA regarding this. In the response he mentioned the Service Center advised "that the warranty on the vehicle will not cover anything that might occur as the result...

Thanks for your thoughts TOBASH. I've actually looked into bringing the vehicle abroad with me, but Tesla warranty and inter-connectivity is only for the country of purchase. You have to ship the vehicle back to the US to get any service or warranty assistance. I heard one person had their...

I recently learned my job will take me overseas for most of 2018 and I am trying to decide what to do with my (still quite new) MX. I'm not interested in selling, so looking at other options like renting it. Has anyone had any experience or advice on this? Did you use Turo, a legal contract...

Regarding using Tesla's as rentals in Iceland, I agree with @reynirb'd doubts and will add a few other serious drawbacks: Those $100/day rentals in the high season are for cars that would be priced around $10-20k in the US. I'd imagine a M3 would go for ~$200/day and an S/X would be well over...

Question: what app or website do you find best identifies the most lower level chargers in Wyoming?

Do you mean you stayed overnight at the Hilton or just plugged in for a while? So I was told the people planning all this at Tesla that they wanted to put more destination chargers in the general area this year and was looking for willing partners. I know Hat Six applied for a supercharger...

Thanks for the update. My OA said he'd spoken to the supercharger team, but could have exaggerated a bit since this was one of my considerations of whether to buy this year or not. Said it would "definitely" be operational by December...

What is the removal process like for this kind of film? Is part of the guarantee that the original paint will not be spoiled?

Are you looking to rent or buy? If you'd consider a long term rental, shoot me a message with more specifics. If you are looking to buy only, 5 seven seat 100Ds just got added as Tesla inventory vehicles a couple days ago.

I wonder about switching too. My advice is to call the general sales line: (888) 518-3752 and ask your questions there. That's what I did when I had to email my OA the same questions multiple times without getting an answer. The advisor who I spoke to on the general sales line was MUCH more on...

I did a side by side comparison with a new Model X 100D in Wyoming and was quoted $600/yr or about 40% more than Progressive for very similar insurance coverage.

I just got word from my Tesla OA that they are just starting to break ground on the Wheatland supercharger. They say Tesla is also looking at adding one or two additional detestation chargers around the Casper area by the end of the year...

Did you figure something out for Cody? If not, I have relatives there that might be able to help out,
