    Hope the border is open for you come November. Safari Condo has trucked Eastern US August deliveries to an RV dealer in Kirkville, NY.

    Towing with your X? New Alto model: 21 ft lightweight camper trailer

    A tidbit of interesting corroboration: an Altoiste on Facebook has been keeping track of mpg efficiency whilst towing 100,000 kilometers with a Honda Ridgeline. He has found the same results towing the F2114 as towing the F1743. This is what ecarfan predicted for the 21-foot model. Go ecarfan...

    Towing with your X? New Alto model: 21 ft lightweight camper trailer

    Well, after a year of dithering and a side excursion into Bowlusland, we bought an Alto F2114 last week. We will have to wait one year for delivery. We considered the other Alto F-series models, and the F2114 hit the Goldilocks spot. Time to learn about camping and trailering. We will need to...

    Camping Trailer Selection for Model X

    Feeling imprisoned, we have once again indulged our RV fantasies. I think we'll actually get a trailer. In July 2019 we drove our Model X100D to Quebec City for a visit to the old town and Safari Condo. It was a very scenic trip up through NY State and back down Vermont's Rt 100. At Safari...

    Model 3 vs. Model X - 2 weeks in

    I've been driving my MX100D for two and half years now. I love it. Recently I had a M3 loaner for a week. What I did not like about the 3 (aside from the difficulty of moving old bones in and out of it) was the screen. Too many times I just could not see it clearly because of sun coming through...

    I've loved Tesla for 7 years. But after years of abuse, I'm out

    SigGuy wants what he wants and thinks he is entitled to. No amount of arguing will be convincing to him and those who support his premise. C'est la vie. But for him to say 75% are in agreement with him, well that's just non-scientific. In just two years of Model X ownership, I've for sure seen...

    Model X with no kids?

    May or may not be applicable to the original poster, but our Model X is the biggest hit with the grandkids. Ever. Ages 3 to 12. They love it. They want to ride in it. They want their friends to see it. They want to wear Tesla shirts. Oh, and my wife and I love it too. Doors. Windshield. Power...

    Is Your MCU1 Model X Still on 2019.40.2.1?

    Was stuck on 2019.40.2.1 for six weeks. Just updated to 2020.4 this evening. Hurray! What's new: Additional vehicle information. Additional voice commands. Text messaging support. Camp mode while parked. Voice keyboard. Save dashcam clips by honking horn. Driver profiles save add'l nav...

    SC status as of Saturday noon: Jumping! Full house. Two waiting. One busted pedastal. Three gray X's in a row. Model 3's a distinct minority. Beautiful weather. Mall parking lot well ICE'd.

    Looking for the answer to these two ?'s

    To get battery percent of charge shown on the charging screen, you'll have to change the display in the car's controls menu to show pct rather than miles.

    Post Something You Love About Your ICE Car

    I love that I can take the doors and roof off my anti-Tesla: a 15-year old Jeep Wrangler. Biggest reason it's still around. Otherwise, I'm only in the gas line at Costco twice a year. Those trips, plus an annual oil change and $250 per year for insurance constitute my annual cost of ownership...

    Stopped by late this moening. Found electrical contractor on site. He did not know when sc will go live, but he did say there is a planned power shut down on Nov 26 to do some final connections. Also, county inspections are not yet complete. So, he thinks no turn on before Nov 26.

    New Frederick Supercarger! One to two weeks away! So I've been tracking progress on this site since last spring when the building permit was approved. Work proceeded over the summer. But things have been languishing for the past six weeks as delivery of the red and white charging pedastals was...

    Been out of town the past couple weeks. Couldn't wait to see what happened while I was gone. Prettification. Sod is in. Shrubbery is in. Best looking non-functioning charging site ever. Just the bleeping carger pedestals are still missing. Sheesh! We wait some more.

    I suspect they needed to black out old parking lines so they can then paint new ones that align with the charging stalls.

    I did get to stop. Light poles went in this morning. Some washing of mud from parking area. No pedestals. Workers said that's all that remains. We wait some more.

    Friday. 1300 hrs. Three Potomac Edison trucks on site. About to depart, since they did not have enough cable to complete run down to BJ's. Poor planning. No charger pedestals delivered. Meter not yet installed. We wait.

    Well you can get a Popeye's sammich before hooking up to the SC. Or Royal Farms fried Chicken. Or, if you've joined the cult, something from Chick-fil-a. All within a half mile. Or some genuine Buffalo wings at the Anchor across from the SC. I mean if you're not really up for gourmet burger...

    No. Was going to on the way to pick someone up at BWI, but their flight was 30 minutes early and I skipped the charge. So how is Laurel?

    And it is such a pleasure to use the Gaithersburg charger. Why, you get to pull in nose first. And it's in the shade. And it's seldom crowded. And now I hear they have kale and beer! No doubt the best supercharging in the entire state of Maryland! Get the word out! Teslas traveling the I-95...

    Well, I did make a hash of the picture posting. Sorry. Observations: - Chain link construction site fencing is gone. - A moderate pile of dirt needs removal. Otherwise it's quite tidy at the site. - Looks like we get two light poles.

    My point is that summer temperatures effect my range. Maybe not your range. As re setting low regen on freeways, conserving momentum is more valuable than recooperating some charge with regen braking. At least that's how it works for me.

    Supercharger - Frederick, MD

    My experience this summer has been different. I think, since I have my X100D set to display state of charge, not miles of range. When it's been very hot, my trip display shows I burn upwards of 500 Wh/mi for the first 5 to 7 miles, and about 400 Wh/mi for up to the first 20 miles of travel...

    I see you're a new member. Beg your pardon if you already know this: efficiency on short jaunts is low when it's cold outside. And when it's hot outside. It takes considerable energy to bring the inside of a cold car up to 70°. And to bring the inside of a hot car down to 70°. If you're plugged...

    No one working at main site. Two-man crew doing cleanup along path of power supply conduit. Leveling and seeding. Talked to them. They said the power conduit work is complete. They don't know what's going on with the charger site. I did see that all 10 pedestal bases are now in place.
