    Looking for a referral for a quality electrician in Seattle who can install a 240 volt outlet - either a business or individual.

    Buying Tesla merchandise locally?

    Hi, anyone know where to buy merchandise locally (Seattle/Bellevue) these days? The old Bellevue SvC used to have a nice array of blankets, caps, etc, though the new location didn't and said "just speak to the folk in BelSquare". Thanks, Mike

    21 inch non staggered wheels?

    Hey all, I know there's a dedicated section for sell/buy but most people with wheels are out of state and don't want to ship if they can avoid it. To keep local I figured I'd ask here if anyone had a set of 21 inch wheels they maybe want to part ways with. If anyone does hit me up!

    I saw the new thread with the Supercharger maps here: 2017 Supercharger Map is up! I looked at their expansion plans around Boise, and they don't seem to make much sense.
