New England

I'm working with the town on an aggressive campaign to help residents here in Belmont, Massachusetts purchase 50 new EV's by the end of the year. The program is called Belmont Drives Electric (Belmont Drives Electric) and we have several automakers on board to show their EV's to the community...

It looks like I will get my Tesla Model X by end of the week. I imagine a lot of new englanders in the Boston are taking delivery of an S or X in the last 2 weeks of September and are looking for paint protection. It's not cheap to get a good job done. Anyone want to band together to see if...

Thinking about taking the family up to Mont Tremblant this spring break. Looks perfectly doable, but curious if anyone has any experience with the trip and any tips to share...

Is anybody who got this update already. They promised to roll out tonight :)

Thank you to the Tesla owners, Gwgan, JohnH and others who brought their cars to show, and especially thanks for giving rides. Rides make a big difference.

Hi, folks. I'm proposing warrant articles for the November Town Meeting in Brookline, MA supporting electric vehicles --- in particular to try to ensure that new construction in the town supports electric vehicle charging. I could use five (or so) signatures from registered voters in Brookline...

Hello, I have been in search of for Renting a Tesla In Massachusetts, with Boston in mind. Have come across some options & have been pointed in a few directions. Don't want to leave any stone unturned. The most recommended by many referrals is GSD Rides. They deal in Electric & hybrid rentals...

I remember it always being the case, that the ability to shift use to off-peak hours (9am-9PM "winter", 6PM-8AM "summer") was critical, but just noticed new rate-design after 7/1/16 now carries a higher distribution and transmission charge penalty, for on-peak use. One has to shift even more, I...

I RSVP'd for the Road Trip stop in Westerly tomorrow. New to the Tesla family so I don't know what to expect. Anyone ever been to one of these type events?

My Turo reservation canceled on me and I was wondering if any of the fine folks here would be willing to fill in for me. Looking for a one night rental to take my wife out for our anniversary (also, ya know, trying to sell her on the car). Flexible to pick up all over MA, RI pretty much...

Maine PEV owners in CMP areas might be interested in this, especially if you're charging overnight and driving a bunch of EV miles. I'm on CMP and I have the TOU Delivery (A-TOU) tariff. (I have standard offer supply.) My electricity is about 80% off-peak. I was looking at my June-July...

I received the following email this morning: "The Soular Jazz Foundation has been offered a spot in the AppleFest parade which will be held Sunday, September 18, 12 – 3 PM. I would like to put a band on a float to advertise the festival and the mission. Do you know any Model X owners with the...

Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, but I didn't see any threads on this topic that were recent. I am working with a group in the Binghamton NY area to put on a Drive Electric Week event. For anyone who's not sure what that is, it's essentially an electric car show where we try to show off the...

OK, so I've returned from two weeks vacation. We don't have a Tesla, so we drove our Volt. Given the places to which we drove, the routes we took and the numbers of times I said to my wife "Oh, <City> has a Supercharger", I was curious to see whether we could have driven that in a Tesla with...

Electric vehicles will get a charge along Mass Pike While not Superchargers, 50kW stations should be enough to fill in some gaps. Honestly though, in the locations they've mentioned in Western MA, there is already good SC coverage, but in Eastern MA, the Framingham and Natick charging...

My father will likely be pulling the trigger on an X - an obsidian one. Next step is some paint protection. Love my guys at Q car care in Burlington, but I know my father will want to find some place near his house on the Cape. Anyone know of a place to go?

I'm taking delivery in Dedham and don't want the car washed prior to taking delivery. They are requiring that I sign a waiver. The waiver states: "If you request that we not perform the pre-delivery detail on your vehicle, we cannot and will not be held responsible for scratches and surface...

Tesla Supercharger network Gwgan posted firm information that a Supercharger will be placed at the Ruby Tuesday in Brewer. For PWA, Brewer is the city across the river from Bangor. For PWA still drawing a blank, you just need to know that this provide an alternative route to or from Bar...

Thinking of heading to Jay Peak this weekend with the family and wanted to know if anyone made the trip recently? Is there any charging stations on site? Jay Peak 830 Jay Peak Road Jay, Vermont 05859

Hi there everyone. I'm anxiously waiting the arrival of a new 90D. I'd like to take it on our three-week vacation on the cape. I want to be able to use the Tesla on our trip instead of our ICE though. The house we are staying in does not have 240v readily available. I estimate I can get about...

Creating a new thread because I just got the excise tax bill from Cambridge for my fully loaded except for Ludicrous P90D Model X, and have had no responses to my posts on the Model S excise tax discussion thread. Tax date: 3/30/16 (delivery date) Taxable value: $129,800 Tax: $2704.17 Wow - I...

When i stopped at the Dedham store on Friday, the place was swamped with new cars. they were double-parked along the front of the store, and in virtually every spare piece of asphalt around the sides. There was hardly space to move! The Supercharger stalls were all full, as well, at least one...

About 50 days ahead of the South Hampton, NY Supercharger installation, I'm taking the Model S out to Montauk & East Hampton this weekend. Syosset, NY's Supercharger- about 100 miles west of Montauk- is my only hope for supercharging! What are the chances there won't be a wait on Saturday...

Just came across this article : Regional News Briefs || SWEEP Unfortunately, we seem to be moving in the opposite direction here with the reduction in EV credits for cars over $60k.

Someone left a green no-spill dog water bowl behind the first Supercharger stall here in Auburn. I snagged it and will bring it home to Somerville. Doesn't seem worth the hassle of shipping, but if you lost this and you're local or want to swing through Boston, happy to return it to its rightful...

Posting partly because it's a testament to his success from the franchise business model, but I mostly had no idea he is a billionaire. Billionaire Ernie Boch Jr. Lists His West Indies Estate for $7.2 Million - Mansion Global The real estate banners, at bottom of WSJ are hard to miss.

Spotted an updated Model S at the Dedham store today when i went there for a charge. It was out back of the building, not yet in display. But I assume it will be a store model, either for display of for test drives. It was multicoat red, but I am sorry, i did not note what battery/drivetrain...

I've seen a metallic gray Model X P90D in Cambridge in the last week. Most recently today parked on Concord Ave. Is it anyone's on this forum? Would love to see the inside and maybe get a ride!

I had to drive down to Barnstable last Saturday. First time I had driven on Rte 3 past Duxbury in quite a while. It was a bit surprising to see what poor condition the road is in. Rough surface, well worn lane markings. I guess I am spoiled because I mostly drive on the I-95 corridor, which...

I just noticed this article. Does anyone have any insight into whether this has a chance of becoming law and how long the process usually takes? I would imagine even if/after the law is passed, there will be a delay with the state figures out the requirements for identifying vehicles. I think...

Boston may offer electric car owners a break on excise taxes

I stumbled upon a Linked In profile mentioning it while looking for Harrisburg, PA information. Then TGA found a town minutes/agenda file referencing it I guess it should get its own thread. :)

After two seasons with the stock Pirelli's I switched to Nokian in the fall. I was never happy with the Pirelli's. In the fall of 2014 we put Nokian's on my wife's car, her's were removed today. I removed my Nokian's on Monday. Apparently I'm going to need two new tires next winter after only...

As titled ... anyone has recommendation?? :)

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...

It would be funny it is weren't so frustrating. Last night my car was struck with a flying Christmas tree. Seems the guy in front of my had it in the bed of his pickup truck, and with the wind it flew out and at me. I couldn't swerve to avoid as there was traffic in the oncoming lane and rocks...

Hey guys any recommendations for car wash locations in Boston for my MS?

Model X arrived 3/18. Today 3/19 we’ll try an Augusta Maine Supercharger test about 9:30am. We’re also trying an E-ZPass toll test on the way there, I’m going to try putting the transponder in the front cubby of the frunk, looks like a good place.

I live in far northern upstate NY, only about 20 minutes from the border. The Montreal store is by far the closest to me, so I'm considering driving these to make a Model 3 reservation on the 31st before the online reservations open up. I set the store an email asking if making a US reservation...

TMC-- I was wondering if there was someone in the greater Boston area who has taken delivery of their Model X who would be willing to do a live demo for my wife and I. We are reservation ~600, and attended the test drive event in Dedham last week. But... coming out of the event, we have a...

Spoke with a Tesla rep at Dedham the other day, someone who normally works at the Pru store. He said that the retail space at the Prudential tower is being rearranged (maybe because of or at least in conjunction with a new building going into the complex). As a result, the Tesla store will be...

Does anyone know if the $1,200 destination charge is a mandatory charge ? Can you avoid it by taking delivery in Fremont ?

Hello Tesla Community! My good friend Matt is getting married in late June this year and as part of my farewell to bachelorhood gift to him I would like to be able to give him a ride in a Tesla before his big day. Matt, as well as the rest of the groomsmen, are avid car enthusiasts. Matt owns...

Just noticed today a new Tesla destination charger (just one) and a new Clipper Creek charger at Shawnee Peak. It's right next to the ski race school building. There is also a special hybrid parking area outside the main building for a few years. They didn't appear to be active yet, very recent...

I have charged numerous times at the Milford south bound supercharger. It does not appear on the "Visited Chargers" page of the navigation system. I have been to 22 other supercharger locations and they all appear on the list (including Milford north bound). Not a big deal but curious if it...
