    Model 3 in Chicagoland Area?

    If anyone is going to be taking delivery of a Model 3 OR if you happen to know someone who is taking delivery sometime in the very near future or already has, I’d love to have the chance to see the car physically in person. I will drive to you of course. This isn’t just limited to Chicagoland...

    Supercharger - Skokie IL

    There was a bit of recent discussion in another thread ( Supercharger - Chicago, IL (Lincoln Park) ) about the fact that "Skokie IL" was listed as "opening soon" on Tesla's map but there was no location spotted by community members. There was a bit of speculation it would be at the existing...

    Car detailing recommendations in Grand Rapids, MI?

    Anyone know of a good exterior detailer in Grand Rapids? With current temps in the teens, it’s just too cold to self wash. I wish there were heated indoor self service stations. Thanks.

    Supercharger - Fort Smith, AR (unconfirmed)

    This location seems like a no brainier, but so far I have not seen anything from Tesla regarding this location. It is at least very difficult if not impossible to make it from the Joplin, Missouri supercharger to any points southwest. This would also make it much easier for folks traveling...

    Supercharger - Mehlville, MO

    I see a Mehlville MO on the Tesla website as coming soon in 2018. Given I can't find any posts here or see it on supercharger.info, I presume this never got built. Too bad, as we maybe driving through the area and would rather not divert to St. Charles.

    Damage to Model S - Starting Repair Process

    My less than 7 month old 2017 Model S Tesla is in need of repairs due to flying debris this past weekend on the Interstate.

    Battery Efficiency | Range

    Hello, i am a newbie Model X 75D owner (20" stock wheels). I've noted that the best "efficiency" (#miles driven/mile range used) I can get, with good weather and conservative driving is 80-85%. Now that it's gotten colder in Wisconsin (temps ranging from 10-40 degrees F), my efficiency is...

    Not stopping by gas stations on a snowy evening...

    Ah, another one of the beauties of driving a Tesla. I am charged up as much as I need to be while my car is parked in my garage. So I no longer need to stop at a gas station in the dead of winter. Let it snow...I don't mind. #TeslaGrin

    Auto "Park" feature on a 2013 Model S. Who Knew?

    No, not that Autopark... I'll preface this post with saying that I normally wash my own car in the driveway, but since I live in Michigan and the snow is already flying (with salt on the way soon), I figured that I should do a test run through the local automatic car wash. As I approached the...
