Mid-Atlantic

So I went onto BGE.com and downloaded my usage for last month. I was checking some information about rates and did some math. With the usage from last month I roughly saved 1 dollar. It looks really dependent on how you spend your energy from the hours of 10 AM till 8 PM. The off peak hours are...

Picking up my 70D in a few weeks from Tysons Corner. I've told my wife to expect to go on a drive after we pick the car up. I don't plan on an overnight trip, but am curious to drive the car around a bit. I've only been in the car for 2 test drives. I also am curious to try supercharging. Any...

Does anyone have a CHAdeMO adapter that they won't be using the weekend of 8/8 and would be willing to lend out? I'm planning a roadtrip out to Pittsburgh and was hoping the Harrisburg Supercharger would have been online by now. Since that hasn't happened rather than having to swing through...

Anyone have experience with any installers between Rockville / Silver Spring and north Baltimore? I'm hoping to not have to drive an hour into NoVA to drop off my 85D and then again to pick it up.

I'm planning a road trip that includes visiting a friend on the upper west side for a night. Having spent 6 months in the area, I know how cars get treated. Does anyone know of a garage where I might be able to park the car myself and be reasonably certain that it is safe from door dings and...

My Service Advisor from Rockville, MD told me today, valet service will no longer be complimentary at the Rockville Service Center. Instead they will charge $3 per mile for valet service. Our early VIN Model S has required about 10 different service visits over two years of ownership. Tesla...

I'm a Tesla enthusiast who has never had the pleasure of driving one. Does anyone know where I could rent a Tesla in New York for between 1-24 hours?

I've made a similar post over at TM in the Washington DC region page. As noted by others, a local Cars and Coffee event held at Kohl's Fair Lakes has been closed down. However, there is a great Cars and Coffee event every Saturday morning at Katie’s Coffee in Great Falls, Virginia. It has...

I was at the BWI Rail Station garage today and noticed new signs that there is a 16 hour limit to parking at the EV charging spaces there. After 16 hours, the sign says ChargePoint will bill $2.00 per hour. There was a Volt plugged in to one of the stations and the screen indicated it had...

Thought it would be fun to have a picture red, white, and blue MSes next to each other. Anyone around the 495 Beltway want to get together for a couple pictures??

So what should only take 8 hours driving, will end up taking 12 hours according to the supercharger navigation. What is up with the lack of superchargers in PA? Sigh. I wanted to make this trip so badly. Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated....

I posted this on FB and Twitter and Google + DC Tesla Owners [age, but for folks who did not see this, here it is again! Well guys and gals, after 14 days, 19 states, 7,245.6 electric miles, 2,217.9 kWh, 306 Wh/mi average, 52 superchargers (and one NEMA 14-50), the cross country trip of my...

I bought tickets to a special event at the Embassy of Croatia in Washington DC for Nikola Tesla's birthday. Tesla Motors will be at the event with special test rides of the Model S. The Embassy of Croatia will be presenting a dinner reception of Croatian food with Croatian wine along with live...

International Club of DC - I haven't tried to buy tickets yet so no idea if they're sold out.

So the new version of Supercharger | Tesla Motors shows that in 2015 Rochester is getting a Supercharger! Pretty cool for us folks who live in Rochester, though with Buffalo and Syracuse chargers I'm not sure how useful/what hole it fills for travelers. I'd like to see one down around Painted...

So the new version of Supercharger | Tesla Motors shows that in 2015 Rochester is getting a Supercharger! Kind of surprised nobody has started a thread on this yet! Pretty cool for us folks who live in Rochester, though with Buffalo and Syracuse chargers I'm not sure how useful/what hole it...

I found the trip reports that other folks had posted very useful when planning my trip, so I thought I would share our experience. We drove down from NJ to Williamsburg, VA on 6/7 and returned on 6/12. I was thrilled when we were packing the car up with how much space there was in it. We were...

It's going to be a nice morning tomorrow for Cars 'n' Coffee in Bethesda. Check it out! A couple Spark EVs will be there too. https://www.facebook.com/groups/BethesdaCarsnCoffee/ Also, things are progressing with the Firecracker Run in West Virginia. We have about 13 registered so far (5...

Posted on TM and I'm reposting since I don't see it on TMC anywhere. Saturday June 13th at 2 pm at the "V Eatery". The V Virginia Eatery and Brew House is located at 44630 Waxpool Road, Ashburn, VA 20147). Would love some Roadsters as well as Model Ss, and if we can have a P85D as well, that...

I just noticed at Supercharger.info we're getting a SuC at 119 Hite Ln in Strasburg, VA. I wasn't aware that one was coming, but in my opinion Tesla made an excellent placement for this Suc. It's at the west end of 66 and right off 81 for those making the North/South run. If you're South heading...

Hi, In a couple of weeks I will be going to Wellesley Island State Park. I am trying to collect feedback on the feasibility of the trip with my Model S 70D. Plan is the following: - Leaving on Saturday morning from Pittsford NY with a full charge. Getting to Wellesley Island State Park with...

Please head over to Sign into My Tesla | Tesla Motors and let the organizer Paul know if you are interested and can attend this event. We had a blast last year, and the crowd was very enthusiastic about seeing the Tesla's drive in the parade!

http://horsepowering.com/every-saturday-morning We have had a few fun Saturday's in Hunt Valley and it is time for another. If you missed (or miss) all the fun Tesla time at Reach the Beach and/or can't wait til TMC, come on out the next Saturday June 6th. Artsci (local...

I need that dryer plug fitted in my garage (first time Model S owner). Any electrician recommendations would be super duper appreciated (message me privately if you wish). THANKS! PS: I know there is a list on the Tesla site, but I want to do comparison shopping.

Who would be interested in meeting for coffee next Sunday morning near Philly? Contact me at [email protected]

Ok, I probably need my head examined for starting this trip during Memorial Day Weekend but it's happening. I'm traveling from New Orleans to Basking Ridge, NJ next week early and then returning late week. It looks like a fully supercharged trip save for the leg from Atlanta to Charlotte, NC...

I have another how to get from place to place question. I need to travel from Northern Virginia up to Hancock, NY (Southern Tier, northeast of Scranton). The direct route goes through Harrisburg, PA. At this point, I'm planning on going to Harrisburg and hitting the Sheetz Chademo charger...

I thought it would make sense to make a new thread to track any news/rumors of SuperChargers being planned/built along I-81 in the western part of Virginia (the thread for SuperChargers in Virginia is getting pretty long and covers the whole state). I know there was some video taken at the TyCo...

I'm visiting a friend in Brooklyn around 5pm, leaving very early the next morning at 5am. Can't find any charging opportunities on Plugshare. Happy to cover your costs and then some in cash or in beer of your choice if possible.

Good afternoon folks. I'm taking my first long trip in my S85 this weekend. We're going from the DC area down to Lake Waccamaw in NC (and maybe out to Wilmington, too) and while I've planned and mapped and mapped and planned the Supercharger stops numerous times I wanted to tap the collective...

Unfortunately, it's not possible to rent a Tesla in New York as far as I know, but I need one for a short film I'm shooting next month. It would only be for a day, and of course if need be we can work out a means of compensation. Mostly I just need to show it being driven a short distance and...

A handful of us are planning to meet up on Saturday, May 23. Plan to be at the Supercharger by 4:30PM. If the weather is nice, we'll then head to the Valley Mall in Hagerstown (5 miles away) to take part in a weekly car show at the mall (5pm - 8pm). If the weather turns bad, we'll have dinner...

I apologize if I'm posting this thread in the wrong area -- however, I'm hoping for a quick response. I need to have some aftermarket wheels/tires installed on my Model S. I live in Maryland and would appreciate any suggestions from owners on what shops do a great job and understand our cars...

Hey, as the title says I'm getting my new Unplugged Performance BBS rims in soon and am looking for recommendations on a good shop to swap them out with my current 21" rims. I'm fairly certain the Tesla service center will not perform the work, as I've asked about it before. I'm worried that...

National Drive Electric Week, September 12-20, 2015, is a nationwide celebration to heighten awareness of today's widespread availability of plug-in vehicles and highlight the benefits of all-electric and plug-in hybrid-electric cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more...

Reach out to Leeberbs. Many others on here have recommended him, and now I need to as well! His work is outstanding! Had the entire car wrapped and did a tint as well. He explained with the frameless windows, he oversizes the tint at the top, then uses a file or something (I forget) to get...

I've a soon to be Tesla owner in Rochester NY. Looking back through the history of the Supercharger buildout I'm really impressed with the scope and scale of the network construction... even in the economic backwoods of Upstate NY! Its the type of thing the enables the future success of Tesla...

As my (coffee) drinking buddy JakeP would say.... I think I found a "smoking gun": TESLA Pittsburgh.com: Pittsburgh Location Soon? Now I just have to be patient... patient... patient.... Lots of speculation in my blog, but here's the summary: there is a single part-time job posted for...

Well, not yet however in a week I will be :) Based out in Frederick, MD anyone else in the area?

My son who lives in Binghamton , New York and uses the health club at the Binghamton Doubletree informs me the HPWC is out of commission until May 20th. If you were planning on using it I would call ahead and check.

So, I did a little detective work today with the City of Norfolk Planning Department and they were able to confirm for me that they have issued a permit for construction of a supercharger site at the Janaf shopping center. I then called the folks at the shopping center and they confirmed that...

What are your experiences with commuting into Manhattan? Any tips and/or tricks for Tesla owners considering it?

I've spent the last two of four weekends driving around in SE PA (thankfully not in the MS) and it's like they've been carpet-bombed. At this point many roads are more pot-hole than pavement. Last year around this time was more of the same. So I'm thinking I should look into steel wheels for...

picked up the P85D 2 1/2 weeks ago and the EZ Pass isn't working in the windshield. i know there are other posts on this topic but i wanted to be specific to NYC & NJ bridges and tolls. has anyone had success in the windshield with a recently delivered car? my friend has a 2 yr old P85 and...

Tonight 7-9pm at the Ronald Reagan Building. Race car driver and 'vegan hippie chick' Leilani Munter will be present, driving the modified projection Tesla as seen in 'Racing Extinction'. Anyone else interested in going? I will be driving from the Bethesda area and we could car pool. Leilani...
