I got the 2.4.239 update on 6/5. I have been getting a rated range of 135 miles for the last 6 months or so. I just notice that I am only getting 130 miles of range now. Even when I check just after charging has completed. We know that Tesla has modified the algorithm for S40 charging in...

Didn't see this coming: http://news.yahoo.com/latest-g7-leaders-search-consensus-climate-goals-084728130--finance.html "German Chancellor Angela Merkel says the Group of Seven wealthy democracies have agreed that the world should phase out the use of fossil fuels by the end of this century."

Originally posted in a Roadster thread following up Model S owners that also have this problem. Breaking this out into a Model S forum to see if there are others with the same issue: So I thought I would search today and see if anyone else has this problem. Turns out I'm not alone. I am...

I saw this in Design News. This new process is targeted at automotive body and structural components. If Tesla is a customer it looks like this could bring down the price of the Model X and the Model E. "Alcoa has unveiled a new manufacturing and materials technology for making aluminum...

Am I imagining things or does Tesla seem to be letting cars go out the door without their usual rigorous quality checking? I have seen posts from new owners with all kinds of problems that seem like they should have been found prior to leaving the factory. Some of these have been brushed off...

I got an email from my retail electric provider last week saying they were looking out for me and offering me a 24 month deal when my contract expires in December. And I will only be looking at a 44% increase in energy cost! Going form $0.0789/KWh to $0.1139/KWh. Yeah for me! But the lowly...

I remember when I first heard the term "Planned Obsolescence". I was young and could not understand that anyone would make something as crucial as a car and plan that it would fail at a pre-planned time in order to encourage the owner to junk it and buy a new car. I found that unbelievable...

I'm heading back down to Boston tomorrow for a 120 mile round trip with max rated range of 135 miles (40 KWh pack). I made the trip today under pretty much ideal conditions and had 5 miles of rated range when I pulled into the garage at home. It would be nice to have a little more margin...

Today I had my second state inspection for my MS. Last year I expected the local inspectors to not know what was going on. This year I was surprised the NH state database still doesn't have Tesla as a "Make". In any case, I am hear to report that I have officially certified Ron's Toy shop in...

I had so much fun last year at the Mt. Washington Tesla Meetup in June that I was excited to go again this year. It turns out Daniel is not going to be able to organize asn event this year so I got in touch with the Mt. Washington folks to see what we could do. Daniel suggested combining a...

I procrastinated too long last year in getting winter wheels and tires. I'm looking to see if there is anyone in New England that is looking to get rid of 19" wheels and snow tires or just the wheels. I see that these are now back in stock on the Tesla site, but I thought I would check and see...

Does anyone have the contact info for Andrew the delivery specialist at the Boston SC? When I picked up my car he was giving us some swag and my swag didn't fit. He said he'd send the right size later when he got one my size. That was 4 months ago now and I could use that swag to keep warm...

Looking for a detail shop in the Manchester NH area I've been watching the opti coat thread for the Boston area with interest. I've been thinking about getting either opti coat or some other protection on my finish and possibly even some type of paint armor after that. But having to drive...

Has anyone given any thought as to whether the Model S will be more or less affected by things like door dings and hail given its aluminum body panels? I guess this same question would apply to other production cars that use aluminum panels, but I don't know anything about those models and I...

Well I survived the hail storm and tornado last week, now I just have to survive all the roofers calling and knocking on the front door. I'll be able to tolerate all this better once I get my S model... :biggrin:

I was looking at the careers section of the TMC website and came across a store location in Northpark mall. Anyone have any idea when we might get a Tesla Store in the Dallas area?
