I have a ver. 1 HPWC that I have moved from my home in one state to a home in a second state. I am using 4AWG THHN/THWN-2 wire (black and red for L1and L2, respectively) and green for GND) with an 80A breaker to charge at a 64A max rate. The manual says that the ground lug will accept a max...

Title says it all. There is a 351 mile stretch between the Oklahoma City OK supercharger and the Little Rock AR supercharger. This is the sole remaining stretch of I-40 that remains undrivable in a Tesla due to the distance between superchargers. Not even the updated Moddl S 100D could...

Page 5B of the July 30, 2018 issue of USA Today reports that "Tesla is installing electric car chargers at First Landing State Park". Can anyone local to the area verify the address and number of chargers and type. Thanks

I'm staying at a hotel in Gaithersburg, and the head of security walks up to me and starts talking about my car. During the conversation he mentions that superchargers are being built in Silver Spring, near Liesure World (a retirement community). Can anyone that lives in the area verify this...

AP has an article today ( Tesla puts charging stations in more locations ) stating that new superchargers are coming on line today that are smaller and easier to install. The article also states that these chargers deliver 72 kW to each car. I thought the current superchargers deliver a...

I am contemplating driving from the east coast to Phoenix, AZ around the end of August, beginning of September. Currently there is a supercharger gap on I-10 between El Paso, TX and Casa Grande, AZ. Can people familiar with this route please suggest the best (quickest) places to stop and...

I have a RWD P85 with just under 23,000 miles and have gone through my second set of tires. The tires are mounted on the TSportline 19 inch wheels. My current tires are the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires, which are down to 3/32 inch of thread after about 12,700 miles. I am interested in...

A story was printed today by Business Insider regarding the very high cost of repairing a Tesla. See A Child With A Baseball Bat Could Total A Tesla Model S - Business Insider . The article states a child with a baseball bat could total a Tesla with a few well placed hits. The article quotes...

After I received ver 6.0 for my car and installed the latest version of Tesla's app for the iPhone, I would receive notications on my iPhone 5S as to when charging started and stopped. When I replaced the phone with the iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.1, I continued to get said notifications. A...

The voice recognition in my car stopped working a few days ago. When trying to use the voice recognition to set a navigation point, the car would initially saying it was processing the request and then state that voice recognition was not available (not the exact error language). At first, I...

Wondering whether anyone has heard of any specific locations or (preferably) actual construction of Superchargers along the I10 corridor and I40 corridor between the east and west coasts.

I currently have 21 inch wheels with Michelin Pilots. Tire pressure for this combination is spec'd at 42psi. I am replacing these wheels/tires with the 19 inch TSportline wheels and Michelin Pilot A/S 3 tires. Tire pressure for this combination is spec'd by Tesla at 45psi. The TPMS sensors...

I currently have 21 inch wheels with the Michelin Pilot tires on my P85. The Pilots need replacing soon, so I thought about switching to 19 inch wheels for severe reasons. First, the low profile tires for the 21 inch wheels are easily damaged by potholes. Second, the 21 inch tires are summer...

As of today, Jan. 23, 2014, there are 71 completed Supercharger locations in the U.S. and 9 Supercharger locations that are under construction in the U.S. Looking at Tesla's map, there are 85 or 86 dots shown under the section "Coming Soon". That means there are 5 or 6 locations in the U.S...

Yesterday morning there was a thread on a person that drove over a hitch on the roadway and damaged his car, requiring a new battery. He indicated that he wrote to Tesla requesting that one be able to over-ride the automatic low setting of the air suspension. There was also a discussion in the...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. I would like to drive my P85 from the Washington DC area to the Phoenix AZ area. However, I can not figure out where I can charge the car along the trip. Is there a site or program that can tell me where to stop and charge (ideally on a 14-50...

My son is considering Penn State University in University Park (aka State College) in PA, and wants to visit the school again before making his decision. Does anyone know whether there are any chargers available in this area. I have tried the college and several hotels without success. There...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Moderator, please move to the appropriate place if necessary. Picked up my Performace S on Tuesday afternoon. Drove it home and placed it in the garage. It snowed Wednesday, so I left the car in the garage all day, especially because I have...

Called Tesla today to finalize my car. Selected White exterior perfomance model with gray interior. I selected gray because the cream piping on the performance seats match the headliner color and is close to the white exterior color. The Tesla rep suggested that I change the gray interior to...

Trying to finialize the car and trying to decide whether or not to order the second 10KW charger. I do not plan to get the HWPC, but will install a 14-50 in the garage. The signature model includes the twin chargers, but this is an option in the production model. Are people getting the second...

One feature lacking on the Model S is a front collison detection system. A fellow member on this site informed me of an add-on product made by Mobileye. Their C2 model has been interfaced to several Model S cars. Mobileye is also in discussions with tesla engineers to obtain additional...

Most of you are very tolerant and forgiving. I would not be happy spending $70K-$90K for a car and then having problems, even if they are minor and addressed by the dealer after delivery. I expect a car to be without flaws when taking delivery. I have yet to buy a Lexus (owned 3), an Audi...

I have to check with my accountant regarding the $7500 federal tax credit on the Model S. I was talking to two different auto dealers (Toyota and Chevy) regarding the Pruis plug-in model and the Volt. The dealers indicated there is a federal tax credit for the vehicles. However, they stated...

Got a phone call from my insurance company today (Amica Mutual) that the Model S is finally in their system for underwriting. When I called about 6 weeks ago, they told me the car was not yet in their database, but estimated the cost for insurance at between $1000 and $1100 (if I recall...

Getting conflicting info. My reservation is S920 and P258. I was told by Tesla that I would be contacted in June with delivery of the signature model in late August/early september, and the production model a month later. If S737 doesnt get delivered until October, I'm not getting mine by...
