    Have you tried using evtripplanner.com ? straight miles is a terrible way to drive an ev as it doesn't take the factors you mention into account. evtripplanner will do that for you.

    Model S Tire Wear

    Expensive folly?? $800 for a set of hankook 21's that ride the same as anything tesla puts on the car. And 18-25k miles before change. Zero difference from any other high performance car with large wheels.

    Need advice on feasibility of the trip from SC in NJ to Austin TX

    Use evtripplanner. Use speed factor of 1.1. From the "rated miles used" line for each leg, add a number of miles you feel comfortable having extra. I use 20-40 miles extra depending on the leg. Charge to the that number of miles range and you will be good, if it gets tight on a leg, slow down...

    (Reported on 12/26/2015) 11+ car wait at Tejon Ranch!

    188.4 actual miles. Rated miles used 239-263. Depending on speed used. Not as easy when you just look at distance.

    Excel Spreadsheet for Miles and Charging Statistics?

    Maybe run a few trips using evtripplanner, print out the csv File, and see the differences? I do that on every trip and have a few saved. Might be a start.

    POLL: Have you had to have your 12V battery replaced?

    Another 12v battery failure today. Zero notice except wife and I stuck in a parking lot after eating a late lunch.. Tesla service amazing once again, but come on Elon. Simply unacceptable for our cars to be completely undriveable because of a Simple 12 v battery that last 3-6 years on every...

    How satisfied are you with the non-AP (Classic) V7.0

    Feels like a first year programmer in kindergarten designed the interface. Old one at least looked like buttons and switches. Here's hoping the kid makes it to college before he redesigns it.

    Supercharger - Columbia, MO

    What's Expected and common consideration formothers are not one in the same. Believe me, it will be a problem down the road as more cars are delivered. That "common consideration" for others is exactly why we have full chargers in SoCal.

    Supercharger - Barstow (EXPANDED, 5 stalls added, now 16 total)

    Forgot to post this from a trip stopping in Barstow a few weeks ago. This was on a Friday around 3 pm, and a busy weekend in Vegas. Moments after I took this photo, someone parked at the charger between my car and this person that clearly doesn't understand how to park at a very busy...

    Supercharger - Columbia, MO

    Forgot to message you when I stayed a few weeks ago on my trip, but excellent hotel! Great service from everyone in all aspects, from the front desk, to bar, to the restaurant for breakfast. After a longbdriventey first day it was nice to sit at the bar for a few local beers and a sandwich...

    Destination charging in Lansing, MI at the new Hyatt hotel

    The parking garage next to the hotel also has a hpwc? I believe it was on the 2nd or 3rd level in the back. I added it in plugshare a few weeks ago on a trip to MI. I think a lawyer had it installed a while ago to make it possible to get up north.

    Elon please veto your lawyers!

    So true!! And as a pilot also, we are also trained on all aspects of the aircraft, including all autopilot functions,etc... And trained for contingencies. Most people driving Cars have a hard enough time chewing gum while driving, let alone learning about their car and its functions.

    Supercharger - Lusk, WY

    That was me!!. And the guy at the hotel said the pizza place was very good and the place to eat at. Looked like it was ago 6 blocks away or so. The hotel is on the edge of town, and the town itself actually looked nice. We were there around noon and their was a line out the door of the...

    Supercharger - Lusk, WY

    Went through there last week and everything is good. People at hotel were very friendly. Seemed like a decent place to stay if overnighting there. We just walked around a bit and talked to gentleman working the front desk.

    Michigan State University Game Day

    FYI. I just used the one today at the Marriott in east Lansing and it is right up front. Mike at the valet was very nice and no charge. I just gave him a good tip for letting us charge there for a few hours. He didn't think it would be used during the game Saturday. So,maybe you could give...

    Michigan State University Game Day

    We are on our way to East Lansing from Southern California for the game. The Marriott in east Lansing has a 70 amp charger. Maybe give them a call to see if you can reserve it, or maybe they can manage a couple cars with valet? If not, I am not sure how the charging would work by the...

    Supercharging letter from Tesla 8-13-2015

    If you want to contribute to another one-sided article about Tesla give them a call. now we know how little research the writers actually do - read about a couple people complaining on a forum and than write an article. guessing they will put something negative out this evening or tomorrow morning.

    Free toll. But the Toll agency has hired the highway patrol to monitor the toll plazas for cars without tags, plates, and toll transponder.

    East Lansing, MI area / Williamston

    thanks guys!, yes we saw that one at Kellogg center a few years ago when we were back home. Sounds like the Eastwood town center spot and marriott might do the job between 110 outlet at the in-laws. Yes, Jim, I'm looking forward to the trip. We did a 2400 mile trip up to Portland, Oregon, and...

    That was the new fuse which allows the ludicrous mode. Longer draw from the battery. 0-60. Versus insane mode 0-30 and than less draw.

    Press Conference July 17

    Thought he said 3000 for all 85 owners. I'm thinking worth it to get rid of A pack slower charging and making supercharger stops a little quicker as not needing the full charge so often.

    East Lansing, MI area / Williamston

    Taking a road trip from Orange County, CA back,to Michigan in September for the Michigan state/Oregon game and while the drive is quiet easy with superchargers, the charging options in the area seem pretty weak. I will be in staying in Williamston and will only have 110 charging there. Looking...

    Supercharger - Fountain Valley (LIVE 28 Aug 2015, Expanded 27 Oct 2017, 16 stalls)

    I have to say I've taken the 5 all different hours and always bottlenecks up in LA numerous times and numerous spots. Never worth the hassle for us. 405 slows down by LAX and that is usually it.

    Has the situation changed here at all? Looks like you can detour through town to bypass the small closure?

    Alignment no longer part of Annual Service?

    Not too clear. No distinction between prepaid and annual payment. Annual and recall service Tesla recommends that you bring your Model S to a service center for an inspection every year or 12,500 miles, whichever comes first. Unlike gasoline cars, Model S requires no oil changes, fuel...

    Alignment no longer part of Annual Service?

    Actually no. Paying for annual service gives you the same service. When tesla tries to change that, they will open themselves up to a major consumer complaint and will be lambasted in media once again.

    Drive Unit Failed - Dashcam video

    Same thing on ours at 34,000. Zero noises before. Just a little thump, almost like a tire blowing out, on freeway and zero power. Tesla service was fantastic for the issue.

    Alignment no longer part of Annual Service?

    Except it needs to be done to almost all of us original owners on a yearly basis.

    Alignment no longer part of Annual Service?

    And has been stated many times, prepaid offers nothing extra other than a discount. Exact same wording for paying for annual service. Tesla is opening up a big can of worms if it is only for the prepaid option. They are already overcharging for maintenance .

    Superchargers in Southern California (location speculation)

    Having them at service centers doesn't really help anyone but locals. Design is for long distance driving between cities not in them.
