Hey guys, I'll be moving to the Summerlin area from my place in Henderson and have survived off a free charging station at my complex for the past 2 years. Since I'll be moving to a house this time, charging is now squarely my problem. Any of you have a recommendation for electricians in the...

See my tires for sale at 4 Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 Tires 245/45R19 Shipping tires is expensive. This could be a great deal on a set of studded winter tires for someone in Colorado that will stop by my house in Boulder to pick them up. Takes care of the shipping costs.

I'm about to start our cross country adventure next week and the first day leg has me worried. The route planner in the S is showing Flagstaff to Blanding. I have an 85D that will be loaded with three adults and lots of luggage. Is this really doable or do you think I should take the safer...

A couple of weeks ago, I signed up for the Let us bring All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor Model S to you event that will be in Boulder, CO from May 25th - June 1st. It says on the event page that "Appointments will be confirmed by a Tesla representative from our California headquarters" but I haven't...

Anyone done this? I know there is supposed to be a new SC in Price, UT eventually, but my trip to the Sound of Silence rally is next week. EV Trip Planner says it's 209 Rated Miles which should be doable in an 85. And would chop about an hour off the trip.:smile:

Here's some news: The city of Cripple Creek, CO, is in the midst of installing SEVERAL EV chargers within the city. Cripple Creek is one of only THREE Colorado towns with legalized casino gambling. As of now, there are FOUR chargers installed, with TWO operational. There are two chargers at...

P85D Correction and Coating The car was initially inspected by Tesla North Scottsdale and sent to me for proper correction and coating. The customer had complained that excessive build up of dirt, tar and brake dust were a real concern. They also felt like they had to wash the car too often...

Hello, I expect to receive my inventory 85D in less than 2 weeks and was wondering if anyone could recommend an electrician for installation of outdoor hookup. I'm considering buying the HWPC since I have dual chargers. I contacted Tesla and they gave me Castle Gate Electric but would prefer...

I did an evtripplanner.com check and it appears to require only 226 Range miles at 72F to make the 237 actual miles at the speed limit. I'm considering using this route to get to I-40 from Tucson since it's considerably shorter distance wise. Anybody made that run in an S85 yet w/o...

Hi All! First time using the forum, so bear with me if I misstep. I am in Utah (Salt Lake City area) and am interested in seeing a Model S in person. Since I am not able to at the new store is there anyone who would be willing to meet with me to let me see their Model S?

As some of you know, Telsa spent around $3 million to renovate a location and build a dealership/service center in SLC, UT. After getting the location almost completely built out, state officials communicated to the company that current local laws would not allow them to open it. Here is a...

Hello everyone. I just spotted a new charging station in Santa Fe. It is located in the parking lot of the Sprouts grocery store at Zafarano and Cerrillos. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping within walking distance of this location. I'm sorry but I didn't find out what level of...

I have just read a number of threads in different places looking at the SupCs that aren't there in Gilette and Sheridan, though they may be there in the future. And others have taken 212 through MT because it is a little shorter and Broadus has a NEMA 14-50. So I want to check out what I am...

Anybody driving through Winslow, AZ? If so, could you please let me know. I'm hoping for someone to bring my "Priest Killer" kachina from La Posada Hotel to California, or Tucson for me. La Posada has a kachina I own but they can not ship it. I have a close friend in Tucson you could leave it...

There's a law prohibiting Tesla from opening a store or performing service in New Mexico, and therefore from opening a service center. Specifically, NM Stat. Ann. §57-16-5, paragraph V, prevents manufacturers, distributors or their representatives from becoming a dealer or performing service...

Last week I drove my Model S from Tucson to Phoenix to Tesla's only approved Auto Body shop here in Arizona. I wanted to have two small stone marks (hood and passenger outside mirror) and rear bumper paint mark fixed. All of the marks were less than 1 inch in length, none deeper than the paint...

Gillette Wyoming Supercharger Updates Things are quiet in NE Wyoming for a while now.The final slice of the 90 corridor doesn't have a permit cone on supercharge.info and doesn't look like it'll be complete for summer travel season. Any local folks with their ears to the ground?

I mentioned this in the Tooele, UT thread but forgot to start one of its own. Tremonton, UT should be under construction. I may take a trip up there soon to find it and get some pictures.

I'm all set to order a Model S. Hopefully that will happen in the next few days. But I'd really like to ride in one before I place the order. Of course the shenanigans of the anti-free enterprise Utah legislature and some car dealers have made it so Tesla can't offer test drives (or sales...

This was just published in the Arizona Capital Times: Let’s slash government regulation and open the door for Tesla sales | Arizona Capitol Times I hope that this article provokes some interest in legislation to open up direct sales for Tesla, but it looks to be an uphill battle with...

Just got word from the contractor working on the Perry supercharger that they're moving on to OKC next. He gave the address as the outlet mall on Reno, west of the city. I called the permit office and they confirmed there is a permit in the works for 322 outlet shops drive, okc, ok. They said...

I was planning a little trip for spring break and wanting to head south to stay warm. Well, out of luck completely! No superchargers on I-25 south of Denver. So, no way to get to to Santa Fe / Albuquerque. Bummer! Even if they get the Santa Rosa, NM station up in time, that's over 300 miles...

My dad who lives in ABQ stopped by to take pics of the upcoming ABQ supercharger site and was able to speak with the manager, Ottmar, at the HI Express. Ottmar let him know that Las Vegas, NM was further along than ABQ and mentioned that it was at a Comfort Inn. A quick Google search shows...

My extremely reliable source told me Price UT is out to bid right now.

I got confirmation from HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS HOTEL & SUITES MIDTOWN that they are getting the ABQ Superchargers. Address: 2500 Menaul Blvd NE, Albuquerque NM 87107 This makes sense, since all of the other I-40 superchargers at at Holiday Inn Express locations from ABQ to Amarillo My contact...

and it's so absurd I had to post it here. Tesla doesn't deserve special treatment

I just received the following from the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS in Santa Rosa, NM Their address is 2516 Historic Route 66, Santa Rosa, NM 88435 "Hi there ....,Yes we are getting a Tesla supercharger which should be up an running in less then 2 weeks. It is currently being installed as we speak...

So I have been through most of the forums and have heard nothing of a Denver area Tesla owners club. Does one exist that I have not yet gotten the memo about?

There is a public hearing re: Tesla at Utah's State Capitol tomorrow (3/4) in Salt Lake City. I have zero details, but will post as soon as I know more. Obviously very last minute. If you're in the area and can keep your calendar a little clear for tomorrow, please do so. Sorry for lack of...

Was wondering if anyone in the Phoenix area has a Chademo adapter they would be willing to let me rent/borrow next week? It looks like they are out of stock online and the Scottsdale service center doesn't have any.

An article appeared in the Weatherford Daily News on February 24th. The headline on the front page in bold pronounced: "Tesla charging station coming to Weatherford". A construction photo was included with the hotel in the background. It was the front page article that caught the attention of a...

There are no Spectra PhotoSync dealers/installers anywhere close to my hometown, however I'm going to be in Las Vegas with my car for a couple days this week. Does anyone know of any shops in Las Vegas?

We're starting to plan some roadtrips for this summer, and I was wondering if anyone thought a trip the middle of March (daughter's preschool spring break) might be doable? We're in Denver so we were thinking we'd have to pretty much head south. Maybe Grand Canyon. Any ideas?

2312 S State Street, south end of Gallery & Service Center lot. 5 Cabinets / 10 Bays Construction started today.

I don't exactly understand the temp tag system - let's say my car got temp tags on 3/1 that expire 5/1. Does it matter when I go to the DMV and get real plates? Do I end up paying more in the long run if I get plates before 5/1?

Trinidad, CO appears to be "Opening Soon" on the Tesla "Today" map. I exchanged e-mails with the head of the Building Department in Trinidad, and he told me that there is a permit application from Tesla that is being reviewed. The location will be: 9700 Santa Fe Trail Trinidad, CO 81082 -...

We are currently in Winslow, AZ at the La Posada Hotel, which is quite a place. Historic AND with 2 Tesla chargers. My question is, has anyone attempted the drive from Winslow down Hwy 87 to Tempe then south to Casa Grande? EVTripPlanner shows it at 214 miles, but only 191 RM's. Tempting...

Hello, I'm not a Tesla owner, but I have done the $5k deposit test drive thing. It's a great car, but not for me right now. Someone in Vegas is giving Tesla owners a bad name. Many of my friends have seen this white Tesla with Vegas plate E7C5 parking like a jerk. We've all seen this car...

I just had The Specialists on N Fairview Ave, Tucson recommended by someone I respect to do an Xpel clear bra on the front of my MS. Anyone have any experience with them?

It has already appeared on the Supercharger.info map but I didn't see any thread. Tesla to install electric car charging stations

Are there any Spectra PhotoSync installers/dealers in N. Utah?

The Meet-Up between Phoenix enthusiasts and the great people from Tucson went incredibly well in Casa Grande with about 50 people and 25 cars, but now what's next. John P (huzz1970) will be suggesting a variety of trips and meet-ups soon, but I wanted to get some feedback on a variety of other...

A bill has been introduced in the Arizona House to allow direct sales of Tesla in Arizona. I am hoping to build support from Arizona enthusiasts for legislation that will remedy this problem. Most owners are aware that current Arizona law forbids consumers from buying directly buy from Tesla...

I'm curious how many are aware of a proposal for a new rate design, with SRP? If you have solar, and get net metered out at their retail $.11 cent rate, brace yourself: For an 8kw system, on a home with >200 amp service, they want to: Jump your $17/mnth fee, to $45.44 per month Add a Demand...
