    ORD Park + Charge?

    I've got 2 trips this fall where I'm going to drive from Indy to Chicago and fly nonstop from O'Hare. One is 5 days and one is 9 days. Are there any park and charge situations near international terminal? Or should I just build in a Country Club Hills stop coming and going?

    New Tesla Store in Chesterfield, MO

    Paint Protection in Louisville

    I found a place in Louisville that does Xpel, but I am not sold on the $3k+ for a wrap on my car. I would prefer one of the long lasting wax/protective coatings (like Opti-coat Pro or CQuartz). The manufacturer's sites for both of those products do not list any approved detailers in Louisville...

    Supercharger - Davenport, IA (Quad Cities)

    With all the great progress being made on I-80 in Iowa, any word on the Quad City location? The Hyvee on 53rd St in Davenport has a Market Grill and would provide easy access to both I-74 and I-80.

    Emissions testing on a Tesla in Wisconsin

    So I got my annual plate renewal for my Tesla. However, it said that in order to renew my plates I have to have it emissions tested first. Huh? I tried to renew online and no-go.

    Illinois Electric Plan

    So I am about to get my first tesla, and am looking at electricity plans in Illinois. Has anyone done the research and have a suggestion? I see one company even has free electricity in the evenings, that sounds pretty good if I can charge my car for free every night. All thoughts are welcome!

    Why no superchargers in Arkansas?

    I was curious why there are no superchargers in Arkansas. Walmart headquarters is located in Bentonville and I know that many of the execs in that area drive Teslas.

    Springfield, Missouri & 417 Area Code- growing number of Teslas

    For a year or so I felt like one of only a couple of Tesla owners in the Springfield, Missouri area. But over the past year Teslas have become much more commonplace and I feel like I know only about 1/2 of the current owners; and there may be even more than I know. I'd love if any 417 area...

    Chicago/North Shore X owner who might let me see the 3rd row?
