I'm considering a trip from Atlanta to Dallas via New Orleans (and back) in November. Car is a 70D, single charger, 19" wheels. Want to see if anyone has any tips or stories or gotchas to pass along. I plan on breaking it up in 2 days staying at a destination hotel with an HPWC around New...

Hi everyone, Long time reader, first time poster! I would like to invite anyone from the area with a Tesla or any other EV to come join us for a NDEW celebration on Friday Sept 18th, from 4 to 8pm near the new Knoxville Superchargers. We are trying to bring attention to there existence and...

Anyone in the Raleigh area have a suggestion on the best way to see and feel the textile seats? The Raleigh SC says they rarely have it in their demo cars. Thanks.

One of the Charlotte owners has graciously offered to host a picnic at his residence for all owners, enthusiasts, and reservation-holders wishing to come to Charlotte. We regularly meet to talk shop and share stories on Friday's, but many cannot make it do to other commitments. We hope to have a...

Heading down to the annual Gold Wing motorcycle rally this year in Huntsville, Alabama, from Toronto. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ericka is sending rain there and I will not be riding my Wing in hurricane like rain. I, unfortunately, (LOL!) will have to drive there with my Tesla. Sigh! There...

Basically, several concepts came together in a happy confluence. A free, Tesla-friendly CHAdeMO host - A desirable location - both as a Destination in and of itself, but also between two SuperChargers - Tesla's "Referral" promotion making it possible to grab an adapter on Tesla's tab - And my...

Can somebody recommend a good electrician in Cary, NC to install a 240 volt NEMA 14-50 outlet? My panel is in the finished garage exactly opposite to where I would like my outlet to be.

Are there any charging stations in Johnson City Tennesse? Plugshare list only one the nissan dealership.

What does it mean when clear bra can 'self-heal'? In the years since self-healing paint protection film was released there has been some level of confusion as to what self-healing technology really is. Some think self-healing means that any defects that could occur to the film will be repaired...

Any intel on Asheville SC? For me this seems like a key missing piece to connect i40 (don't think Burlington to Knoxville is feasible) as well as facilitate a popular vacation/weekend getway. Someone at Tesla told me that they were starting construction in the whole foods parking lot in...

Hi y'all, Just wanted to let you know that Charleston will host its first Drive Electric Week event on Saturday, September 12th at 1600 Meeting Street from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. We'd love to get more private owners signed up to bring their EVs to show-off to the public, allow test rides/drives...

A good friend of mine is looking to trade up from his BMW 3-series to a Model S. He doesn't want to drive to Texas, which I think is the closest gallery. He's looking for "fast", so something like a P85, P85+, or P85D. Any owners here in the NO/Baton Rouge area who might be interested in...

TMC, I feel terrible that we've been too busy to post up fun articles for some time. So I wanted to create a place that members could post up questions that I field. With that said, if you have any questions in terms of detailing, clear bra / paint protection film, coatings and their...

I'm thinking about a road trip to Nashville and staying at the Gaylord Opryland hotel. I can't figure out how to tell if they offer EV charging there? I'm coming from Atlanta so I can supercharge in Chattanooga, but I'll arrive in Nashville with only about 100 miles of range left, meaning at...

My brother has a lake house in Heber Springs, AR which is about 135 miles from my house in Memphis. Obviously, Heber Springs is near the center of the Great Southern Supercharger Desert, but I can't find anything even remotely close on plug share to make a day trip possible. He has 220v at his...

OK, we should be getting closer to when Tesla is adding a Supercharger here in Memphis. Would like to hear input about possible locations and updates. Try to avoid the "why someplace won't be a candidate" but places to promote the locations here in Memphis. The best location I can think of...

I do not know if there are many, but I am moving from Dallas back to my home state of Kentucky and would love to join a group. Looking for one, I could not find any evidence, so I started one. If there are any owners on this forum that live in Central Kentucky you can find us on Facebook under...

So, have y'all noticed that there is a group of superchargers missing such that any single one inserted into the area would help stitch things together. The combination of no Augusta, GA/Greenville, SC/Asheville, NC/Johnson City, TN/Wythesville, VA superchargers makes getting from anywhere in...

(Mods, please feel free to delete. We're about to head out, and there's no reason for this post to pollute the forum. Thanks!) At the last minute we've decided to take my 85D to Manteo, NC for a wedding this weekend. We'll be leaving tonight, and I'm wondering if anyone in the Atlanta area...

I'd like to return to Milwaukee from Charlotte via Knoxville instead of going 400 miles out of my way through DC. I checked the Nav system when I was at the Charlotte supercharger and it says 264 miles to the new Knoxville supercharger. Think I can make it? I did 290 miles traveling between...

I am planning my first road trip with my 85 model S, if I left Nashville will a full charge with the intention of getting to Memphis, is this doable? My plan includes staying two nights in Memphis and hopefully getting recharged. Any comments or tips would be greatly apprieciated.

Last year, not long after getting my Model S, I took it on an awesome trip that I posted here: http://imgur.com/a/2Ac28 Friday, May 29th at 8AM ET, I'm going on another weekend run, ~1400 miles (700 Friday and 700 back Sunday). This time, since there was a bit of interest in the last one...

Has anyone charged their Model S with the CHAdeMo at Rouse's Market in New Orleans? The Plugshare comments of it's working, then it's overheating after 10-15 min, now it's working ok really aren't helpful because none of the comments specify if it was charging a Leaf or a Tesla. My concern is...

Of course i now have curb rash on my nice 21" grey turbines. Can anyone recommend a professional in the atlanta area to repair my wheel?

Any recommendations for car insurance for a Roadster in North Carolina? It's time to shop around.... Thanks!

This is probably of value only to people who stay at the Westin Charlotte since there are many better options Uptown. However, if you're staying in this hotel anyway there a a handful of 110v outlets in the parking garage. Nobody in the hotel seems to know it, but there they are. I am using one...

Looking at the expected map, there appears to be a Columbia SC in the plans... but I haven't seen/heard anything about it... Anyone knows anything? A Columbia SC would make trips down from Charlotte much easier... since now basically we in CLT would need to make a major detour and go to Santee...

Need to say that I am less than impressed by the final purchase process. I ordered via the Nashville dealership. Car is now ready for delivery to me (I live in the same state, 215 miles away). My delivery specialist, for reasons never explained to me, is in Charlotte NC. She (Shannon Davis)...

Let me begin by apologizing that there are no outside or sunlight shots. The schedule to have the car ready and when it was picked up created a poor opportunity to photograph our work. At any rate, it looks great even when shot at night in the shop! This Tesla Model S got a full body clear bra...

Made arrangements today to test drive a Tesla S at the Aloft Asheville downtown. Also the Charlotte sales/service has its grand opening the same day - Friday and then Saturday. I am only 30 minutes from Asheville, so easy decision to get my first look and drive in one. I hope my wife likes it...

p85d Modesta BC-04 and Full Body Clear Bra Wrap We are always happy to get calls from new Tesla Model S owners inquiring about clear bra (paint protection film) and the coating systems we offer here in the greater Atlanta area, but happier to see them leave in the care of their owners! After a...

Very friendly Folks at Crossroad Nissan. Tesla friendly.

How about those members near Knoxville do some sleuthing. The Chattanooga SC is about 200 miles from London KY and Knoxville splits that in half. The Knoxville location has been shown as "coming soon" for some time. Construction at Cincinnatti SC has begun. The missing link is Knoxville. No pun...

I was just on teslamotors.com website looking at the superchargers and its shows Louisville opening soon? Anyone have any info on this????

Taking my family to Asheville this week and it will also be my 1st Electric road trip. Do I need to charge in route? Staying in a Condo, what are the charging options in Asheville? Thanks for any and all help.

Hi, Any recommendations for detailing in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area of NC? I need to get my new Roadster cleaned! Thank you!

The Georgia House and Senate last night passed the Transportation Funding Act of 2015 (HB 170) which primarily raises the gas tax, but also eliminates the $5,000 tax credit for zero emission vehicles effective July 1, 2015. Additionally, there will be a new $200 annual registration fee for all...
