So it looks like rules are different for small and large charging stations: https://www.apta.com/mc/sustainability/previous/2017sustainability/presentations/Presentations/EVCS Access California New Accessibility Regulations for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations - Ida Clair.pdf

I noticed, when I charged my car to 90% recently, the regen seemed to be limited to about 30 kW. There was no warning or dashed line on the IC, like I'm used to seeing with the occasional range charge. It was a bit disconcerting, as I wasn't expecting it, and at that limit, going 50-60 MPH, the...

SDG&E has a new rate called EV-TOU-5. It looks like it will save me quite a bit. The way it works is you pay a fee of $16/month, and in exchange, you get a reduced super off-peak rate of about 9 cents/kWh. The other time periods are the same rates as EV-TOU-2. Note that if you are grandfathered...

Is this a new product? Model S/X Corded Mobile Connector Perhaps a solution to charge at 40 amps, since the gen 2 mobile connector can only charge at 32 amps?

I'm having a problem navigating this site on my iPhone 6S (iOS 10.3.3). It has to do with the pull down menu in the below screenshot: When I try to tap "new posts", the Safari navigation controls pop up. This is standard behavior on iOS, but normally, the web page scrolls up so the spot the...

Just about every time I've clicked on a thread today, the page get stuck loading with the above message in the status bar. While the page looks like it's completely loaded when this occurs, it seems to prevent the browser from going to the first unread post, and instead it just stays at the top...

Is there a way to see more than 10 pages of threads with new posts? I ran into this limit today. The amount of activity on this forum really requires more pages to see it all.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to change the valet PIN after setting it the first time. When I first tried valet mode, it asked me for a PIN, and I entered something simple. Now it no longer asks for a PIN when I turn on valet mode. How do I change the PIN? Note that I have not...

So, recently, the remaining range on my car has been decreasing faster than seems appropriate. For instance, last night, my car charged to 151 rated miles and 172 ideal miles. (I have a 60kWh pack, and the charge limit is set to 80%.) By the time I starting driving it this morning, the range was...

Are Electric Cars Cleaner than Gas-Powered Cars? - NBC News This "30 Second to Know" thing seems like a convenient platform for when you don't want to back up your assertions with facts.

I see a lot of discussion of winter tires, but I'm interested in replacing my all-season Goodyear tires (which are worn out) with summer tires. I don't like the idea that I have compromise tires, and I live in San Diego, where we don't actually get all the seasons, anyway. Any...

Who has real-world experience driving the Model S in very hot weather? How much does it affect range? How much power does the A/C use? I'm planning to drive from San Diego to Las Vegas in the middle of July. The average high for Baker, CA on July 16 is 104, with a record high of 116. The...

I hate it when I go to view new posts in a thread, and it takes me back to view posts that I've already read. I'm pretty sure this is happening because a thread I have not read is merged into a thread that I have read. How about closing duplicate threads, and adding a link to the earlier...

Could anyone with cloth headliner in their Model S take a look at where the cloth meets the windshield? On mine, there's just a bare exposed edge, and I'm wondering if it's like that for everyone. I'm thinking it's either supposed to be tucked in (though it appears to be cut too short to do...

I'm starting to plan my trip from Fremont to San Diego, since I should be picking up my Model S in about a month. (My car will be 60kWh with dual chargers and supercharging.) I'm thinking about taking a nice leisurely drive down the coast over two days. San Luis Obispo seems like a good...

I want to run a conduit to my electrical panel. It's going to run laterally along the wall of my garage, but then it needs to enter the wall and turn downward to connect to the top of my electrical panel. The panel is on the outside of the garage, recessed into the wall, and the conduit will...

I thought releasing a car in 2012 would make is a 2013 model year. That's the way it works for every other car manufacturer. I'm not sure Tesla actually gives their cars model years, but 2013 is probably what it's going to get called by insurance companies, DMV, etc.

Update: Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, official web site $2,500 rebate. 85 and 60 kWh packs are now eligible, 40 kWh presumably to follow. Update: New funding has been added as of 3/1/13! Chart of remaining funds: (I believe that the red line, remaining minus pending, is the most realistic...
