Midwest & Great Lakes

Does anyone know when the Tesla leasing program might be available in Wisconsin? Why isn't it available? I was hoping to snag a MS before getting a M3...So annoying...

Tesla Model S/X Test RIDE Event In coordination with Tesla Midwest and Tesla Kansas City, I am hosting a Tesla Test Ride event on August 30th, 2016 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Springfield. There should be at least 4 Tesla vehicles (presumably 2 S and 2 X) for test rides and Tesla is providing...

I couldn't find a thread for Lincoln. If one already exists, please merge. Thanks! Tesla wants to put charging station in Lincoln

Waiting for delivery of new MS 90d, looking for suggestions on install of Blackvue dash cam? Any thoughts or recommendations?

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?

Very brief story, but apparently authentic. http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/news/2016/08/04/tesla-to-open-dealership-in-former-kemp-auto.html The [Kemp Auto] museum closed in summer 2015, and was bought by the Capps family. Tesla plans to build an additional building on the property...

This is the new electric vehicle program from empire electric. That's my tesla but the folks in the video are actors.

All, Tessie will be in an exhibit at MidAmeriCon 2 in downtown Kansas City later this month. Before I drive it on the convention center floor looking for a good place to get it washed/vacuumed. Note: The Service Center says "We only wash cars we service" so they have said no. Don't need a...

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...

Just a shout out and suggestion for anyone who might be passing through Southern Missouri on I-44. Gasconade Hills Resort Home is a relatively new destination charger site. They have 2 solid 80 amp HPWCs and 2 J-1772 chargers on site. They're located a bit Northeast of Lebanon on I-44. It is...

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.

So mad at myself. I have gone in and out of the Bank ATM 100x and not a single issue. Today, I go to the ATM, and my Passenger Front Tire hits the curb. It must be the worst sound, almost as bad as finger nails on a chalkboard, that I have ever heard. Anyone know of a shop in the Northwest...

Can't find a thread but here is article: Tesla plans charging station Even though it's at a Double Tree/Holiday Inn it appears it's not a destination charger but a Supercharger.

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. Emissions test required. I called the DMV. As soon as I mentioned Tesla the woman on the phone immediately knew what...

Looking to put in my order by this Friday for a Model S, but have some final questions that I'm hoping a Chicago-based owner can help answer. Anyone in the city or surrounding suburbs available to chat in the next day or so about your experience with Model S in the cold, with ComEd costs, adding...

Hello, Anyone from Kansas, Kansas city ? which insurance are you with? I am being quoted >2000 a year for some decent coverage on my Model S. Any Insurance agents referrals would be great. Thank you.

How many Tesla owners can we get to attend the Cars and Coffee event at 119th and Metcalf (Rosana Square) on July 30 from 8-10 am? The local KC EV chapter is planning to attend. They have 18 (not a typo) J1772 Chargers around the square and 1 50kW CHAdeMO. Usually there are around 400 cars that...

We still have a few spots left for the Westerville 4th of July parade if any of you would like to ride along with us. We'll be doing food afterwards as well at Pizza Cucinova. PM me if you want details and all models/colors are welcome, not just Model S or red/white/blue.

glenhurst heard from Tesla that they were "targeting" a location in Coralville, IA. I did a little googling and found this in minutes of a Board of Adjustment meeting from March 21st: (emphasis added) 2008 8th Avenue, Coralville IA .

We need to have SC installed in North Dakota. Have you heard anything about plans for SC?

I am about to take my first long trip from Saint Louis mo , to Gatlinburg tn routing though Nashville. Any advice from anyone who has done the trip before? Evtripplanner shows the knoxville tn supercharger as red so I am not quite sure how if i am going to make it. My backup strategy is to hit...

Oakdale, MN. (East of St Paul for the Supercharger-curious aliens amongst us). Location at a Hy-vee. Time for its own thread, methinks. See: Minnesota SuperCharger Future Location Discussion Minnesota SuperCharger Future Location Discussion Minnesota SuperCharger Future Location Discussion...

I attended a rotary club meeting on Friday where empire tried out its presentation for their vehicle electrification program, which kicks off in June. I was invited to bring my model s and to answer questions. They brought a via motors Chevy pick up. I've been wanting to see one of those trucks...

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!

Having picked up a Model X 90D, I was wondering if this trip is possible. I am planning to travel later this year from Independence, KS to Southaven, MS. Is this doable? Or will I have to use an ICE vehicle?

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. Interstates 49 and 40 are main corridors through the state as well. Was really kind of surprised that there is not a storefront...

Supercharge.info added a blue dot for Miner, MO. That's next to Sikeston. The address is 2612 E Malone Ave, which is the address of the Ruby Tuesday. So, I'm starting a thread for discussion so Supercharge.info can link back to here.

I'm looking for a Model S or X owner in Indiana that lives close enough and would be willing to meet me to show me their car. In particular, I want to see what the non-leather seats are like. I am a Model 3 reservation holder and I'm torn on the seats. I have only seen the leather in person...

Buried at the bottom of a completely unrelated story, I found this in the Des Moines Register today: Tesla Superchargers planned for West Des Moines Hy-Vee Elon Musk's Tesla Motors plans to install eight of its Supercharger stations in West Des Moines, marking the first ones in the Des Moines...

Sorry if I'm being repetitive as I posted a similar question last year, but since there is no Bay City SC yet, does anyone have good advice on how to make this trip. I will be good for charging in Gaylord as my daughter lives there and they have a 30 Amp outlet that I can use (although I will...

Starting with Tesla Supercharger network, @Joel has information on the future Bay City, MI Supercharger that's a blue dot on Supercharge.info. From mapping on supercharge.info: Interstate: I-75 US Numbered Highways (<= 5mi): US-10, US-23 I-75: From: Maumee, OH (US-23, I-75) - 152...

I have been iformed by two trusted sources that negotiations are occurring in Joplin, Missouri for a supercharger location at I44 exit number 8 which would be at the site of the former Holiday Inn next to the SAMs club. I will post more info as I receive it.

Soon to be new S owner in Chicago area. Does anyone have a recommendation for a professional installer for a dashcam?

Just saw this: supercharge.info Can anyone confirm? Cheers

I have a set of original 19 inch OEM wheels for sale. They are practically new with less than a 1000 miles. They look flawless. Can provide pics upon request. I am in the Columbus Ohio area but willing to travel some distance if it makes the sale. $800

Posted today in the 417 Tesla Owners Group on Facebook. "Just thought I would let you guys know. I'm a contractor and we just got plans for a new macadoddles that has a supercharger with 8 stalls at I-44 and Glenstone. It is right across Glenstone from Oscar Bloom golf course. The project has...

Last year's event in Chicago was a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed meeting owners from around the Midwest. This year we are planning a cruise thru Missouri wine country with a lunch stop during the day. Then a late afternoon photo op followed by dinner at the St. Louis Zoo. The evenings guest...

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...

Does anyone have an update on the elusive SC in Green Bay, WI? I keep getting the "it's coming but plans change so you can't hold us to it" reply from Tesla. I've been getting this now for over one year. Any information would be great. Sheboygan was a nice first step but I need one in GB...

I have entered a MS in the Brock Yates’ One Lap of America (f.k.a. The Cannonball Run) which will be held this year from April 30th thru May 7th. My co-driver and I have competed in this event for many years since 2000. Now that there are more than 250 SC stations across the U.S., the time is...

Attn. Tesla owners in the central Iowa area. On April 23 there will be an observation of Earthday held in downtown Des Moines from 9:00 till 11:30. One of the objectives is to have as many EVs and owners present as possible to sing the praises of their vehicles. If you would be interested in...

Pretty self-explanatory! I'm in Evanston and although I've seen 2 X's, they weren't at moments during which a friendly conversation could be started. I've tried lurking around the HP supercharger but haven't had any luck. Thanks for reading!
