Mid-Atlantic

Hiyas, I'm from Melbourne, Australia and travelling to Charlottesville, Virginia for my brothers wedding May 10-17. I'm wondering if anyone within 3 hours of Charlottesville would be interested in doing a swap of their Model S? I'll use your car for a week and you can use mine at a time of your...

Press Release - New York State Thruway The charging stations are each capable of supplying up to 50 kilowatts of power to an electric vehicle and support both of the standard connectors – Chademo and SAE Combo. Thruway motorists will be charged $8 per charging event. Motorists will need a...

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a condo that offers electric vehicle charging and private parking spot near the Hudson river. I am working in Manhattan. Any ideas?

Hi everyone, I just found out I'm moving to Washington, DC for a year starting in August. Since I'll only be there for a year, I'll most likely get an apartment downtown. Although I'll take advantage of the metro, I'll still need to drive quite a bit. I currently own a 2013 Model S, so I'm...

I selected the Paramus SC in my X's navigation and I get a message it is closed and at reduced usage. I heard they had some problems there, but is it in fact closed? There is supposed to be a meetup there on Sunday. Is it still on? Mark

Maryland friends, Signed family up to cruise out of Baltimore and wonder if you have opinions on where to park/charge (or not) Tesla for the week. My plan is to max charge at our hotel the night before so battery is full before the weeklong park. When the ship docks at 9am on Sunday, I'd like...

From Maryland MVA. Date: February 19, 2016 Bulletin To: All Dealers Re: Excise Tax Credit Request for Plug-In Electric Vehicles Please be advised, effective immediately (February 19, 2016) the allotted funds for Plug-In electric vehicles for fiscal year 2016 are depleted. We are currently...

I tend to become a Supercharger nudge every time I have a most recent kid get ready to go away to college, and I know tesla loves watching me spend their supercharger money, but.... OK, Now we are looking at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor near Detroit for my youngest kid, traveling from...

If weather cooperates I'm thinking of taking my pre-Lud P85D to Mason Dixon Dragway to get some benchmark numbers before the upgrade. They claim an opening on March 5 and 6. Mason Dixon Dragway - Index Page click 2016 schedule at the top. It's convenient to Hagerstown supercharger. I...

OK, I know I'm going out on a limb here, but I have a genuine concern that the Model X is going to be too large for our driveway and tight parking spot in NYC. We're in an attached house in Astoria, with neighbors on both sides and a really tight fit down the driveway and around a corner into...

I just picked up my Model X this week. Still figuring it all out. Unfortunately I missed the meetup in Allentown. But so far I have nothing scheduled on the 13-14 or 27-28th. Would anyone be interested in meeting at the Tannersville SuperCharger on either of those days?

I'll be out in the Wintergreen/Afton/Crozet area on Saturday with a group celebrating a buddy's birthday. We are planning to hit (mainly) breweries (Devil's Backbone, Wild Wolf, Blue Mt. and a few others). If anyone is in the area and wants to catch up, PM me.

I am interested in buying the front camera switch that artsci was selling some time ago. I understand there might be some folks who bought the switch but never installed it and might be willing to sell it. If you have a switch that you'd like to sell, please PM me.

I've heard lots of different things from different people, but I'm planning another road trip through Virginia (twice). So what *really* happens if one gets pulled over with a hardwired/stealth install radar/lidar system, like STir+? I don't believe they can confiscate it. I know they're...

Just got an email from Tesla saying they will be at the Philly Auto Show. No mention of Model X.

I would like to hear from Tesla owners around Albany N.Y. about what it is like to drive in the area, especially winter, ease of use, etc.

In anticipation of a new Supercharger to open in Laurel sometime in the next few months, is there any interest in planning a Tesla-driver get together at Laurel Park? I could plan and organize a really cool day of Tesla-themed thoroughbred racing-releated events at the racetrack on a Saturday in...

Hoping some locals can help me out here - I'll be heading to the Poconos tomorrow from NC and it's right at 200 miles from Hagerstown to Tannersville. What would be the most efficient way to navigate this? Sadly, I don't have a chademo adaptor or I could stop in Harrisburg for an hour.

Hi, all, I'll be in town for a wedding reception at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center at National Harbor next weekend. It appears that the Gaylord has 110v outlets. There's a St. George Parking Garage next door, but Plugshare indicates it might not be working. Does anyone know...

All, I'm not up on the etiquette of the TMC forums so I don't want to misstep, but can somehow please tell me how to best share this news? A really cool microbrewery/restaurant installed two HPWCs at their place! It's located in Wilkes-Barre, PA, right off of I-81. I don't yet know if they push...

I know we're exempt from this in VA, but its an interesting concept. I wonder if this would have caught the VW cheating since the car is actually driving when its sampling.

I received an email from Tesla at 4:48 this afternoon about 7.1 and am wondering how long until I get the update pending message. I'm a month long owner, so no experience with FW updates yet. Has anyone/everyone else received the email notification? Also, does anyone know the order in which...

From Tesla email today: Though no word on where on I-80. And still no word on Harrisburg.

Any recommendations? Wi du g my way to Devon and back just for this isn't worth it. Would prefer to go to a local shop with previous Tesla experience if possible.

Car makes the gas station had in its Virginia State Police database (among others): Studebaker Packard Lam Borghini (sic) Zundapp (?!)* Car makes the gas station did NOT have in its Virginia State Police database: Tesla Which is how I ended up with a receipt for a 2013 Studebaker...

Spontaneous and informal New Year's Eve party at my place in Bethesda (close to beltway) with friends and fellow Tesla folks. Bonfire and Glühwein.. Come join us. PM for details

Damaged right rear quarter panel, doesn't require replacement. Suffering from sticker shock ($3800). Read all previous posts I could find and spoke to Rockville Service Center (very helpful). Have quote from closest authorized repair shop (Euro Pro) and met with them today (they explained why...

It is short notice but we found a great opportunity to get some inspections completed for the recall notice everyone has received. It will also be a great opportunity to meet other owners in the area. Coffee and Pastries will be provided to owners at Java Surf nearby. Please spread the word to...

Thanks!

Hi All, I'm traveling with the family for the holidays in our new 70D (just delivered on Dec 21). I traveled from Ithaca, NY to Charlotte, NC via the 95 Superchargers...traffic was rough and its a good bit out of the way for us. We are planning on returning via 81 and I was wondering if anyone...

I'm going to Mohegan Sun for a few days and they say they have a charger, but I don't think it's a Tesla charger. Has anyone used theirs? Is it a J1772? Thanks!

Any owners of a black model s involved in a flood in the tri state area a couple months ago? looking for the owner or any info thanks

I travel to Penn State on occasion and the area is in desperate need of a Supercharger or at least some destination chargers. I've stayed at The Penn Stater and The Nittany Lion Inn and they have gone out of their way to drag cables out of their loading dock to charge me up. I contacted Tesla...

In case you haven't seen it yet, PA just updated their EV Rebate page http://www.dep.pa.gov/Citizens/GrantsLoansRebates/Alternative-Fuels-Incentive-Grant/Pages/Alternative-Fuel-Vehicles.aspx#.VnOUWRqDFBe saying "Rebates of $2,000 will be offered for PHEVs and EVs (battery system capacity...

Folks, I finally tracked this one down! An application has been submitted to build an eight stall Supercharger at 14700 Baltimore Avenue in Laurel, Maryland. This is the Towne Centre at Laurel shopping center. They will be on the ground level of the parking garage next to the Regal 12...

Looking into a new job that might take me from San Francisco to Long Island. I grew up in Brooklyn so NY is quite familiar to me. If the move happens, looking at living in Great Neck. Anyone near there that can tell me what my charging options are for daily charging? May have to live in...

With the Tannersville Supercharger opening soon and the Macedonia Supercharger already in place, there is but one missing link on the I-80 corridor in Pennsylvania. Tesla's map suggests a location closer to I-79 (like Clintonville, PA) but I'm starting this thread now as-- inevitably-- there...

Hi All, I am looking at having Reus Audio Systems install their audio system upgrade in my car toward the end of the year, in the December/January timeframe. Reus offers a custom Tesla-designed system that integrates perfectly with the car/touchscreen, and they have a few installers...

Found this while searching for EV parking @ EWR. Couldn't find any mention of it over here at TMC, so thought I'd throw it up here. Apparently Tesla offers courtesy parking/valet service for owners flying out of Newark airport. Newark Airport Valet Service | Forums | Tesla Motors

Starting a new thread for the Baltimore (Owings Mills) Tesla Sales and Service Center. According to the Tesla map, a Sales and Service Center is "Coming Soon" to Baltimore. The pin on Tesla's map is pointing to a building behind the former MileOne Collision Centers at 9430...

OK. Interstate 81 is a vital North/South artery in the East, and is typically a bit more docile to drive than I-95. Over the last year, Route 81 has gotten plenty of love in NY (Syracuse and Binghamton). And plenty of love in MD (Hagerstown). And plenty of love in VA (Strasburg, Lexington...

A permit has been issued for a Supercharger at 165 Malin Dr., Wytheville, VA. (map link) There's a Holiday Inn Express, Waffle House, Shoney’s and Peking Chinese shown nearby on the map. -Lanny

Rockbridge County has issued a permit for a Supercharger at 880 N. Lee Highway, Lexington, Virginia. (link to map). There's an Applebee's, Best Western and a Holiday Inn Express near that address. Lanny

One realization that gave me pause before committing to the purchase of my Tesla is the fact that I'm almost halfway between 2 of the current Service Centers (Raleigh, NC (146 miles) and Tyson's Corner, VA (182 miles). When I created my order, I was under the assumption (a false one, perhaps?)...

If any local fancies a meet up - I am in town and will be visiting Nauna's at Montclair tomorrow lunch time (after 1pm). Naunas Bella Casa It would be great to put faces to names if you can make it!

If you ever look at PlugShare there is a large hole in the center of W. Va. I have contacted Tamarack on I77 just outside Beckley and the Days Hotel just off I79 in Flatwoods. Both seem open to the Tesla destination charger program and it looks like the Days Inn is slowly moving in that...

Snowshoe or other ski resorts have any convenient charging? Plugshare shows nothing at Snowshoe, Canaan Valley or Timberline. And just Lake Point Inn at Wisp. Any other options?

So I have w classic P85+ and last year I ran the factory staggered pilots during the winter and it was somewhat interesting to say the least. I now run Hankook's with an even wider rear. This year I purchased the 19" tire rack grey turbines and Michelin XiCE package and am now determining when...

So, it appears that the Dominion's "Whole house + EV" plan provides a break for nightly EV charging (and whatever else you draw then), but poses a pretty steep hike for peak usage, as opposed to the standard residential plan. Can anybody here using it comment on their electrical costs with an...
