New England

I am traveling from Plymouth MA to Lancaster NH in my 60 KWh Tesla Model S this Friday, any good EV charging locations around Concord NH/Tilton NH to top off the charge? I was looking at the Courtyard by Marriott on the Chargepoint website; however, the status is unknown. Many campgrounds are...

All - Opening the beginning of November is this HUGE Sales & Service Center in Milford, CT. Space for 300 cars in the lot, they will have 5 Model S's on display for immediate sale in the showroom (evidentally a requirement in CT). Large service area with at least 6-8 lifts. Rumor also has...

Yesterday my son made a very astute observation after noticing preparations being made for the Head of the Charles Regatta (HOC) along the river in Cambridge. He suggested that Tesla and TMC New England should try to organize a display of Model S's at the HOC, noting that the regatta attracts a...

I cordially invite any New Englander to join the New England TMC, which is a "group" here in TMC. To join, just go to Groups - Tesla Motors Club - Enthusiasts & Owners Forum and hit +Join in the New England TMC box. This is a moderated group, i.e. I need to approve new members, and only members...

Winter will be here very soon and I'd love to take my Model S to the mountains. Has anyone heard any rumors or have any knowledge of those proposed "dots" on the supercharge map in NH and ME becoming a reality any time soon?

Just a plug for SeaJay's Detailing in Billerica, MA. I took my car to Jason Perrydore about a week and a half after taking delivery of my S85 and he did a fantastic job. The opti coat makes a huge difference...even after the rain we recently had, the car looks amazing. Here are some pics I...

Just wanted to spread the word that the folks at Brattleboro North's KOA were very helpful to enabling a VT foliage tour. We were able to cover southern/central VT quite well by charging at this KOA (note that we have only a MS 60). I offered to rent the one of the Nema 14-50 (50Amp) sites...

Does anyone have the contact info for Andrew the delivery specialist at the Boston SC? When I picked up my car he was giving us some swag and my swag didn't fit. He said he'd send the right size later when he got one my size. That was 4 months ago now and I could use that swag to keep warm...

I emailed Steve Russell from MA DOER about the lack of Plug In Day events in MA and here is his response, which he agreed for me to share here. I edited his email address below to avoid spam bots. Too bad about Fenway - that would be cool! Maybe next year... I won't be able to make the...

Folks, I find myself, quite comically, starting The Spartan Beast this weekend, somehow as an Elite Runner in the World Championship. I am neither Elite nor World Champion, nor am I even much of a runner. I do believe it is a clerical error. But there we have it. I'm in. Looking to charge...

Hello Fellow New Englanders! Thought I would report back on our recent successful round trip from our home in Glastonbury (near Hartford) to Philadelphia along some very common New England highways. Hopefully the local community might be able to better plan for consumption on these roads...

I have been putting off purchasing the winter tire package until winter was closer so I wouldn't have to go to the service center more than once. Alas, the price of said package is now 4k. I haven't had many issues with the price increases, and as a shareholder, they were appreciated. Then...

Hello everyone, I am organizing a National Plug-In Day celebration in Falmouth, Maine (just outside of Portland) to be held on September 29th, and wanted to extend the invitation to this group. Please join us for Maine's first-ever National Plug In Day celebration, with an event called "Maine...

September 20-22 – Prince Edward Island is hosting the conclusion of the E-mazing race – a rally/tour of EVs right across Canada. The trek started on the West Coast and will finish in Summerside, PEI. The weekend of September 20-22 will see events celebrating the occasion. There will be a...

Got my first flat in 13 years of driving, guess I was due, hole was the size of a AA battery, so the pump with sealant wasn't going to work. Getting towed to the Watertown station tomorrow :crying: Anyone else have this happen with 19" factory tires being so thin? Anyone here get a spare rim +...

I need to drive from NYC to Woburn/Lexington Mass Next week and stay overnight and return the next day. I can make it from the CT Supercharger just fine, but cannot make it back to the SC the next day(It's about 150 miles to Woburn from Milford). I found One hotel in Lexington, but they are...

Cars & Copters/Harvard, MA Fall Festival - Sunday, September 15th - Plymouth, MA Here we go.... Pictures!

GreetingS drivers! I am a Volt owner and Captain of the NPD event in Pomfret/Putnam CT, close to Central MA and most of RI. Though I have not driven a Model S myself, I did quite enjoy riding in the passenger seat of one. Are there any Model S owners will to volunteer at least a few hours of...

Looking for a detail shop in the Manchester NH area I've been watching the opti coat thread for the Boston area with interest. I've been thinking about getting either opti coat or some other protection on my finish and possibly even some type of paint armor after that. But having to drive...

We were recently in Provincetown, and as always I was asking about future prospects for EV charging, this time at the Duarte Motors lot where we normally park. The guy who seemed to be in charge explained to me with some delight exactly why they would never install EV charging at the lot. Here's...

I have a place in mind though I see Larz Anderson museum has a cars & coffee event next Saturday (31st). Thoughts?

Turns out I heard that NY area is the second largest market behind CA. Would be neat to have a get together and learn more about other owners in the area. There is an ICE car club that meets every Sunday morning in Yorktown but I'm the only MS there...

From eastern Long Island, I took a trip up to Hamden CT and used the Milford CT supercharger on the way back. If I had wanted to continue to Boston, I wouldn't have made it. With stations in Darien and Milford, there are now 2 in CT. What is the future schedule for northeast. Is the concept in...

Hi, I'm looking for an Opti Coat installer in the Boston area. Who would you recommend and why? I've asked the local Tesla Service Center, and read these forums, and asked around, and googled, and so far have found: Rick @ Unique Auto Care, Wakefield, 781 389 3913. Recommended from a...

Any Bangor, Maine Tesla people out there? Headed there soon (flying unfortunately) but thought I'd check to see if any Tesla meet ups were happening soon. Will be mostly in Bar Harbor area.

This is one of the premier auto events in Massachusetts located at Lars Anderson Park and Auto Museum Brookline MA. What a great opportunity to showcase our Model S', we could meet up prior to the event and roll in together, anyone interested? Link below with details. Next Event: Sunday, July...

As always, I start a post by expressing my gratitude to Elon, George and the Tesla team for such a magnificent vehicle - and now for building out the supercharge network as committed. Darien is a huge add for us in New England, as it is now much easier to get back and forth to NYC without...

I'm driving from NYC to Maine next week, and am looking for a hotel to charge at overnight halfway up. I saw the Elements Lexington, and that might work for me. Any others along the route from NYC to coastal Maine?

I will be taking a road trip with my buddies to a concert there in late August, and haven't been able to find any hotel that will charge my Model S (which should arrive sometimes in July). The Mohegan Sun resort itself offers charging, but the room rates there are about three times other hotel...

For NH residents, you have probably seen the commercials on WMUR soliciting your business for switching your energy provider from PSNH to an alternate energy service provider. There are a lot of contributing factors, but the end result is that PSNH default service rates have been above market...

Hey all, many of you have been very helpful on the White Mountain Hotel Charging Thread but I thought I would start a new thread as this is a little OT. Due to the lack of Level 2 facilities in NH and ME I have worked up a slightly different itinerary to accomplish my Moose viewing weekend and...

If anyone is bored tomorrow, I'll be here in my White 85. Bringing the kid to enjoy the activities in between answering questions about the car. Summer Solstice Celebration - Maine Solar Power News by ReVision Energy

All - JUST drove by the Northbound Darien, CT Service Area - it's now open! 2 Superchargers are there! They are not quite operational yet... the ends still have bubble wrap on them, but I suspect they will be ready ANY DAY! Southbound Darien, CT Rest Area (a mile away) is still under...

I told them I'd stop by this meeting to let them see the Model S. If anyone else is around the Concord NH area then, happy to meet you. Details here: Granite State Clean Cities Coalition Stakeholders Meeting - New England Tesla Motors Club (Boston, MA) - Meetup

A while back I got an email regarding all the Tech Talks and Test Drive events in the north east. Here's the email: I attended the tech talk last Thursday at the Natick Mall, and today I got to test drive the Model S for the first time! I drove a multicoat red P85: Here's the route...

I opted out of the factory paint armor because it only covered half the hood and did not cover the lights. . So...I had the Tesla service center in Watertown install the an aftermarket Paint Armor on my car today and thought I'd share the results with everyone. Although it's raining...

Model S Tech Talk – Natick Mall | Events | Tesla Motors I plan on going! Looks like it may be Friday, too -- the link above is a little conflicted.

It looks like they're building one at 95 and 195 near Providence by the fall. An another somewhere on the Mass Pike by end 2013, possibly in Auburn. IMHO, there still is a hole in Eastern MA for people going to the Cape from the north, or people going up to Maine from the south. One at the...

Before I buy a Tesla S, I'd like to know what the registration fees are in New Hampshire. Has anyone registered a Tesla S in this state? If so, could you tell us what your fees were? I tried to get this information from the local town office in Claremont. Initially the clerk told me that she...

I'm headed to our office near the Children's Museum in two weeks and would prefer to charge overnight at the hotel rather than a public surface lot (though that will certainly work). I saw on another thread that the Lenox has a charger; does anyone know of other hotels closer to the Seaport that...

Anybody interested in getting the Reus Audio upgrade? I know one of the forum members in NYC is having his car done in July and I spoke with the Reus staff and they were willing to come to Boston area during the trip. From what I have read on the forums, the sound upgrade to both systems is...

I just stopped to check out the Barnstable, MA charger location. It's at the Barnstable County Complex just off 6A on the Cape. Unfortunately, although there's a sigh saying non-EV's will be towed, there were other free spots, and it's right beside the Police Station, both bays were ICEd...

Anyone have a good lead to a technician that has installed the HPWC? I just came back from a business trip and the HPWC was unexpectedly delivered this week :D. Also, how much are people paying? -bhuwan

New here and a first time poster. I'm on the fence about getting a Model S, with one major hurdle... the HOA. I'm moving to Cambridge this summer and prior to purchase I've bugged the HOA about installing a charging socket for a potential electric vehicle. They weren't able to get a direct...

All - Just a reminder about the Westport, CT EV Road Rally this Saturday April 27th in Westport CT! You can sign up on the day of the event! 20 Car's participating so far.... Here's a link to my thread in the Northeast forum...

I had a great afternoon with the Model S. Got four great tickets by the first base dugout and a parking pass for today's Sox-Royals game in a silent auction 10 days ago (at a charity benefit at the Seaport Hotel, where I charged for free in a space right next to the elevators). Took our son...
