We're on vacation and my husband keeps making fun of me because I keep forgetting to lock the car. And several times I've gotten out of the car and left it running. And on to of that I've nearly rear ended several cars, because I have no regen. Vacation isn't nearly as much fun without my...

Sat next to a guy in a meeting today, he obviously got gas this morning and spilt some on his clothes. I actually started getting a headache from the fumes. Can't wait for a world where most people drive electric.

Word of advise, never, ever, leave soda in you frunk, all day, and then drive home, with it still in the frunk, on a hot (99 degree) summer day. On a more positive note, my frunk now smells like cream soda. :O)

Got Lithie back from the service center today. Had them check out a number of noises that manifested during my trip out to TMC Connect and back. Glad I have the extended warranty, as I'm now at 56K miles and they ended up replacing a number of items (driveshaft assembly, hub assembly, and sway...

Last years gathering for lunch in Normal IL with other Midwest owners was a blast. So I thought I'd reach out to Midwest owners again, Indianapolis, Chicago, Madison, St. Louis and the likes and see if you would be interested in meeting in Normal IL again for lunch. I was thinking the end...

I know Bonnie is holding a pre-event BBQ at her house Thursday night but there may be some of us in Monterey Thursday who can't make it up there in time for Bonnie's BBQ. Thought I'd check and see if any of those not able to make the BBQ, but in Monterey Thursday night wanted to get together...

Tesla Gawker threads are always amusing. So, I thought I'd start one about everyone's scariest Tesla Gawker moment. You know the one, where you were afraid the guy was going to hit you or someone else. My scariest Tesla Gawker moment happened on I-70 outside of St. Louis, MO. I was in the...

Yesterday was my one year anniversary with Lithie. Hard to believe. This year has gone by fast. In the past year I have: - driven from St. Louis to Denver using only campground charging - driven up the highest paved road in the US and experienced the full power of regen as I gained 18 miles of...

About once a month I've been heading up to Milwaukee to visit my grandmother. So, I've gotten to be very comfortable with the drive and knowing how much range I need given various weather conditions (sun, rain). So as I prepared for my latest trip I assumed it would be relatively stress free. I...

Ok, I am now beyond 26,000 miles and my tires are at 3-4/32nds, so time to tire shop. I was wondering if anyone has had to get new tires yet and if so, if you would recommend the ones you got. My husband was looking at the Michelin Primacy's. Does anyone with these have an opinion on...

I had an unfortunate mishap with my car, where by a shovel hit it denting the hood and damaging the nose cone and bumper. So, I took it up to Waukesha (just outside Milwaukee) to get fixed at Marshall Auto body. They are a certified Tesla shop. And I have to say I couldn't be happier with the...

So this week I have been reduced to driving my husband’s Civic (see THEY are out to get my car for details). After 9 blissful gas-free months, I am now forced to deal with the inconveniences of driving a gas car. Now to be fair the Civic is not a bad car. It does its job well. But… had things...

I didn’t realize this at first but I am now becoming convinced that THEY are out to get my car, Lithie. Who are THEY? The ICE’s. It started even before I got her. Some ICE saw my Lithie being transported on a carrier and became so envious of her sleek lines and beautiful color that it...

Ok. So now that we have Superchargers to use to go to Milwaukee, we make a monthly trip up there and back to visit my grandma, who is 95. So, Friday we did a leisurely trip up. Took us about 10 hours, but we didn't rush the drive and made rather long stops at Normal and Rockford. Especially...

The Tesla Recoil What happens when someone in the fast lane passes a Tesla. Suddenly realizes they passed a TESLA!!. Slows down to get behind the Tesla and snaps a quick picture. Then zooms off again in the fast lane, usually with a wave or thumbs up to the driver of the Tesla.

So, we're always talking about how we really need a shirt that identifies us as owners not employees of Tesla when at car shows. So I got one made. What do you think?

Shout out to my fellow Tesla owners in Milwaukee. I will be in Milwaukee this weekend (8/17) and would love to get together for dinner with some of you and talk Tesla.

So, I was thinking about this last night as I fell asleep and thought I would post on it. It occurred to me that not only does the Model S have a shorter stopping distance it also starts stopping faster than an ICE. We all know that when someone does an emergency stop there are a couple...

All, I am trying to gather information on how Model S owners road tripping frequency will change now that you have your or once you have your Model S. While I know this is unscientific I plan on using this information to support the case I am making to hotels that they need to install charging...
