Midwest & Great Lakes

I am wondering if anyone has used the chargers at Soldier Field. I read that there were 4 chargers located in the North parking lot. Has anyone had good or bad experience with them? I'm curious since I'll be going there the first week in November, and want to know how reliable the chargers are...

Anyone heard anything on this area ? Looks like it will be the next step from Eau Claire, WI.

Going to the city council for final approval... http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2014/09/05/tesla-plans-charging-station-in-grove-city.html -m

Anyone there tonight? Nice redesign. Pleasant folks. Love the amenities in the parking lot now!

Not sure if this was already discussed, if so, please tell me where to find the link. I have a business trip to make to Columbus, OH next week, but I have to pick up a friend in Indy. Is a Tesla trip possible???? Are there superchargers in Indy AND Columbus??? According to the map, no. What...

I'm from Toronto and I'm due to get my MS85 mid-October. I'm planning on visiting my daughter and her family in Gaylord in November. I think that I can get myself to Detroit pretty comfortably (charging wise), but I'm not sure where to charge on the way up I75. Normally this is a 7 1/2 hour ride...

I took a trip to Columbus a couple of days ago, and decided to stop by the store there. I asked the Tesla salesman when there would be a store in Michigan. He said that they were trying to put a service center in Detroit, but it was "in litigation". That was the first I heard of anything like...

There are rumors of an Omaha Service Center coming. I had heard, I believe, that a sales associate at the MN store indicated that the SC might be up in the next couple of months? Any one know anything about the proposed Omaha Service Center? My brother told me that, previously, there were...

I am traveling to SE Michigan via Niagara Falls and SW Ontario for a week’s holiday at the end of September and would love some recommendations around great restaurants and great bike rides in Detroit and its suburbs. I grew up in the Bloomfield Hills/Birmingham area and attended the University...

The "Coming Soon" page of the TM Supercharger map shows a new red dot in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. It appears to be in the vicinity of the I-80/I-57 interchange. Have any of the locals noticed this and is anybody tracking it down? This could be the part of the northern end of the...

I'm expecting my Model S in November and make intermittent trips to KC. What is happening with the KC SuperCharger Station? Any news?

Given the Superchargers in Triadelphia, WV and Dayton, OH I am guessing that this one will be coming along soon. Any Intel, sluething or good guesses ? :confused:

I posted this in the Michigan thread (I apologize for the duplicative thread). Anyone in the Midwest looking for a reason to use the Super Chargers, drive their Model S (or Roadster), and talk cars with other owners and enthusiasts, this weekend is the Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. The...

Well everyone, Leaving Saturday Morning for California. I will of course be doing one of my Road Trip Videos :) Another long one, this one will be interesting... I purchased a Steam Locomotive, that was build during the Great Depression from a man in Phelan, CA. So Me, my boys, Kalvin, and...

Traveling between Pittsburgh and Rochester today. After consulting Plug Share I called Evangola State Park in Irving New York. They said they would be able to accommodate us at one of their 50 amp Rv stations. We stopped at the Cranberry Supercharger and had a very pleasant breakfast with...

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 drove from Highland Park directly to CMG detailing in West Bend. Yoosof is the owner and does most of the work. He stripped off the wax, which took all of 5 minutes, then removed the paint swirls. He said the factory did a reasonable job on the paint. He applied Opticoat Pro to the body...

Anyone going to the Leilani Munter Meet-up in Chicago tomorrow?

Am I setting myself up for trouble? I am traveling from my house in Overland Park, KS to the Salina supercharger and according to Google Maps, that is 182 miles door to door. I have only had the MS60 for less then 2 weeks so I don't have a great feel for how real world the rated range actually...

As a Leaf owner in the Wichita area, I've been talking to the trustees at my church about installing some L2 charging stations. The church is located right off the highway at the intersection of I-135 and US-400/US-54. The initial discussions centered around installing a pair of 208 Volt, 30 Amp...

We are going to be in Branson next week and would love to take our Model S. Unfortunately, when we contacted the Table Rock Camp Ground which is near the hotel where we will be staying to enquire about charging for a few hours during the day when we will be renting a boat from the marina they...

Late notice I know, but in case anyone in the Indianapolis area has time this evening -- stop by the monthly meet-up of the Hoosier EV Association group. I attended last month -- it's a neat, eclectic, informal gathering of EV owners, DIY conversions, and enthusiasts. Everything from a...

Since auto insurance varies so wildly by state, I figured I would ask for other Kansas MS owners experience on Insurance. The quote I recieved for adding to our bundled home and auto gave me a bit of sticker shock ($1,800 for the Tesla alone, $2,200 combined) compared to Geico ($1,400 for the...

So this coming weekend is our family and friends' 7th annual summer pilgrimage to Wisc. Dells (Wilderness Resort). This year we will be taking up our P85+ Model S. It will be our and the car's first single long distance trip. Over the course of the year of ownership we have run the 'tank'...

Hi everyone!<br><br>My fiancée and I are getting married in Fort Wayne, IN on August 16, 2014. I've just graduated, and I'm certainly not in a position to buy a Tesla (though desperately want one). I get by through buying TSLA stock and living through you guys vicariously.<br><br>But it would...

I picked this up on my Google News feed. It looks like they own Hotels in Minnesota, Illinois, and Wisconsin that they have installed HPWCs at. This will be really useful when traveling. BizTimes: Milwaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin Business News | BizTimes

I live in Indianapolis and the sun bakes the car. (117 degrees according to the Iphone app on just an 85 degree day) If everyone's descriptions of Photosync tint are as good as described, that's the tint I want. The problem is where to go locally to have it installed (and purchased). I emailed...

As painful as it is for me to admit, my left front bumper sustained some minor damage that is beyond the ability of some wax to fix... Just curious if anyone has any recommendations? (And I'd really prefer Chicago, since getting to some of the 'burbs isn't always easy for me). On a side note...

A permit has been filed with Dayton, OH for a Supercharger near a Meijer at 9200 N Main St, Dayton, OH 45445. Hopefully we have some members in the area once this location begins construction.

I called around and no one at the obvious businesses knew anything about a Tesla Supercharger. I then looked on the Hays, KS town website, and they had no on-line permit search system, but there was an e-mail address for the . I sent him an e-mail and got this reply from Jesse within a few...

I would like a few recommendations for places that provide vinyl (or whatever they are using these days) wraps and are familiar with the Model S. I think I'm interested in blacking out the chrome and doing a little carbon fiber on the valance and nose cone. Thanks!

All, There will likely be a gathering of Tesla's on Monday in Jefferson City. Representatives from Tesla will also be there. At this time I don't have full details, I will update this post as I find out information. Please plan on attending if you can. If this bill passes it will have a huge...
