    Clunking sound is costing me a bundle to fix out of warranty

    Wife tells me this weekend, her S40 is making a noise. It is definitely something with the half shaft at 53k miles. Disappointing that the part is $900, there is no aftermarket source, and I have no access to a service manual. I fix this type of thing myself on my other vehicles and would...

    New New England Supercharger Locations

    I heard this week that Kittery, ME is on the list for a SC. No idea on timeline but it is on Tesla's radar. Guessing at this point, but it will most likely be at the outlets.

    Anyone else invited to particiate in Eversource rate pilot program?

    I looked into this option in 2012 before my car arrived and was disappointed that the math did not come out any cheaper for 1500 miles/month. For one thing, this rate required a second meter to be installed. So, you end up paying $12 for your regular meter and then $25/month for the second...

    Mt. Washington NH - Tesla car club 2015

    Supercharger - Seabrook, NH

    Awesome, nailed it! This is the final incentive I need to upgrade my car. 140 miles has worked brilliantly for my needs even in this past -8F winter, but time to unlock the range and add the supercharger. I work in Seabrook, so this construction will be easy for me to keep an eye on. BTW...

    New England Supercharger Coming Soon (Grey Pin)

    I think I got this. Seabrook has undergone a renovation with a new shopping center and Wal-Mart. The state just improved Exit 1 so that there was better accessibility to this new development. The development is called Seabrook Commons and is run by a company called DDR. DDR already has a...

    Sun Country in New England

    This definitely now seems worth the effort. Also, I am right on the fence for upgrading to 60kw and adding superchargers. My conundrum now is whether to upgrade this car at $14k or just sell and order a new one. Tesla rep has told me there are only twenty 40kw car remaining in the fleet, so it...

    Sun Country in New England

    My family will be taking the ferry from Portland to Nova Scotia this Summer. Once there, we will be relying on the Sun Country chargers. Looks like on plugshare, some are lower amp units, but I only have the single charger anyway.

    New England 2014 and beyond electricity rates going up

    Is it a coincidence that the rate hikes are timed to take effect the same month Vermont Yankee goes offline? 600MW off the grid has to be replaced by something. All the power producers want to default to natural gas, but there is not enough to make cheap electricity AND heat houses. Supply of...

    Any good New Hampshire EV charging locations???

    Some new charging stations caught me by surprise today. It seems Tesla has been contacting inns and hotels and offering to pay for the installation of a HPWC if the business pays for the charger itself. I just had dinner in Wolfeboro at the Wolfeboro Inn and was the first to use their HPWC...

    Supercharger - Hooksett NH Rest Areas

    Sorry, but I think you guys are going to be disappointed. While at an EV event this weekend, I spoke with someone in the know with the NH DOT and she confirmed that there are definitely going to be 6 Level 2 chargers on each side, but no specific "Tesla Superchargers."

    Regarding the Portsmouth Supercharger, I had a discussion with the property owner who is working with Tesla to get it installed. I have been sworn to secrecy but will say that the traffic circle will be easy to access getting off I-95. Sorry, but no idea on timeline or number of stalls.

    Service looked at my car (3 posts ago) and thought they figured out the problem. I was reluctant to agree but said ok and that we would keep an eye on it. As they were driving the car to my house to swap with my loaner, the porter observed the GPS lock up once again. He returned to the shop...

    ELR/Model S comparison article

    The more appropriate comparison should have been whether the rebadge of the Chevrolet Volt to Cadillac ELR will be more successful than the Chevrolet Cavalier rebadge into the Cadillac Cimarron. I am not bashing the Volt or ELR, but I do not think the ELR has a chance at their price point.

    Model S to be on Top Gear US.

    The US version is only in its 4th season, and they have not featured anything regarding the Roadster. A little more internet searching comes up with Rutledge and the Stig driving the Model S at the Willows Spring track and maybe comparing it to a Merc S550. After the last fiasco, I doubt Tesla...

    The 40 kWh Model S was discontinued to increase the distance inbetween Superchargers.

    As for the original post... supercharging has always been off the table for 40s making it a little difficult to conclude its demise was due to supercharging distances. The company certainly did not make any money on the 40s the way they were delivered, but I know my car and interactions are...
