Southeast

I've got a friend in the Hilton Head area that is looking at either a BMW or Porsche purchase. I'd like to get him a quick spin in a MS so he has something to chew on before buying another ICE. By chance is there a forum member that would be willing to me up with him and take him for a short...

Curious given we live so close to the service center if buying the service is worth it? Has anyone without a service plan had to go there for any non-warranty service yet? What was the experience/cost like? Do they have posted rates or a service menu?

Just read a response that was shared from Tesla Supercharging Team: So, anybody with a little bit of scouting ability and some spare time: Time to start looking along the I-10 corridor for possible and FUTURE Supercharger locations. Because they are coming. And SOON. Supercharging the...

Saw my first Tesla in the wild today on Capshaw Rd in the Madison/Monrovia/Harvest area. A red Model S just like the one I was driving. Interesting because several weeks ago when I registered at the DMV was told I had the 4th in Madison County, and the first red. The other day at lunch I was...

Test Drive......Just got an email from Tesla, Raleigh, NC. Jan 25-26:love:

What does everyone think about the idea of a Supercharger in Warsaw, NC? It's the only semi-populated area along the south-eastern part of I-40 and would be key for trips from the Raleigh area to the southern coast beaches. Personally, we travel to Emerald Isle all the time and while I can make...

North Carolina EV Road Use Tax. Annual fee $100.00 for all EV Owners.

Hello Any Atlanta Model S owners want their car in a calendar & magazine photo shoot taking place Monday at Dekalb airport with a model & two jets? It will take about an hour of your time. You just pull up, we shoot it & you can leave when you'd like. You'd get a copy of the calendar when it...

Another supercharger is now under construction and this thread is dedicated to the periodically updates and pictures. The location is supposed to be behind the Clark’s Inn & Restaurant at 114 Bradford Blvd Santee, SC 29142. Google Maps - http://goo.gl/8D0uOo Tesla Wiki Supercharger Map -...

Any recommendations for an area electrician to install a HPWC? May also need to add a sub panel. Also any ideas on expected cost would be great. Location of charger & sub panel will be right next to main panel. Thanks!!

In the Tesla Supercharger thread someone showed a picture of the supercharger status screen at Hawthorne. The picture showed the South Carolina SC as "coming soon." Some superchargers that have been announced weren't even on there as coming soon! Does this mean the I-95 South Carolina...

Well, this sucks, but a deer clocked the driver's side of my Model S on the way home from work this evening, destroying the front quarter panel and leaving dents in both doors. Anyone dealt with getting body work done on these around RTP?

Since you won't need it very often and it's expensive....if we could find 4-5 people interested, only $200-250 each. Or I'll buy it and rent it out for $7/day Jay [email protected]

I'm seriously considering a MS 85. I do a lot of work in Cali so I see them here often but haven't ever seen one in AR. Any one here? GT

Any news on estimated start/completion for the Savannah SC? I'm planning a Thanksgiving trip to NC and it would be nice to have this one along my route.

I got some information today that indicates the southeastern North Carolina supercharger will be in Lumberton off the Fayetteville Road exit from I-95 near the Texas Steakhouse. Looking at the Google Map, it looks like a prime location as it is close to I-95 and seems to have lots of restaurants...

I find myself driving my Model S to Charlotte for business. First time range charging, first time going a long distance on superchargers. Thanks to all those before that helped ease my mind for this trip. I'll post more range details, but as it turns out, at 60+ degrees F, the range was really...

I had a call tonight from Prestige Film Technology. They are completing their selection of a dealer/installer in the Atlanta area. Should be announced next week. I'll post when I hear. :cool:

Well I started my trip around noon today. I made it to Tifton at exit 61 and charging at the I-75 RV Park on a 50amp. Plenty of range to spare went 212 with 68 left. Gonna charge for a few hours then my last 105 miles to the Lake City Campground for a 50amp and a cabin. Tomorrow is...

I'm traveling from NC to Miami for the Christmas holidays and had been holding out buying air tickets in the hopes that I'd have a completed Supercharger network to drive down for the holidays, but with less than 3 weeks to go, it doesn't look like any of the 4 missing superchargers in NC, SC...

As a fellow North Carolinian and Tesla owner, I've followed Leilani Munter's TESLIVE presentation and posts here on this site but didn't know she played such a pivotal role in NC's ability to sell Teslas until I read it here: Tesla Woos Car-Guy Lawmakers to Counter Dealer’s Cash - Bloomberg...

14 new Tesla MS's were offloaded in Atlanta today. Using a full semi now instead of a pickup towing a trailer. All pre-sold. :biggrin:

Anybody here routinely run between Charlotte and Atlanta? I have a trip scheduled for Jan. 11th. Google maps is telling me 243 miles from my house to Buckhead area. This should be easily doable, but will cut into any reserve margin I might like to have. Not sure what the cold weather range...

I've found myself in an interesting situation. I have 2 options in front of me: 1) Pick up the car on Wednesday and immediately drop it off at TVP for wrap and tint, knowing that I won't get it back until Friday afternoon.Pro: Car get's protection immediately Con: [*=1]Not getting to take...

So I've had a crazy idea. As a new MS P85 owner driving around 70mph. I have a Trade Show I need to be at in the Ft Lauderdale area the first week of December. I need to be there Tuesday night and Wednesday and back in Canton, GA Friday night. So would you do it and if so some advice would...

Where to charge on Thanksgiving in Aiken, SC? Going to visit family and want to show them the Tesla, but its about a 230 mile round trip and given the weight of 5 people and cargo it seems like that would be cutting it too close for comfort, especially if it cools down and heat is needed.

So I am going to a Youth Football Jamboree this Friday the 15th returning the 17th. I am trying to decide wether to take my ICE or my 2 week old Model S P85. Departing Canton, GA Arriving in Cookeville, TN Distance 188 miles Route I-75 to TN 111 All in all this seems doable but being my...

I gave a speech yesterday at NC Sustainable Energy Association's "Making Energy Work" Conference and here is my girl on display in the lobby while the reception is happening upstairs

So I pick up my P85 Wednesday and I think I am going to christen it with a trip to the Gaylord Hotel in Nashville. I have a little range anxiety trying to figure out the best way to plan the trip. I would be fine except the hotel doesn't have a charger. I am coming from Canton, Ga I know its...

I have read perspectives that Opticoat Pro is a great way to minimize ongoing detailing needs for the Model S, and provides some additional paint protection. Has anyone had Opticoat Pro installed on their Model S that would weigh in on their impressions? Did you have the interior done --what...

Now that we have Burlington nearly finished (and Richmond), has anyone heard anything about the rumored Rocky Mount supercharger?

Anyone have feedback on their sales manager from the Marietta, GA showroom? I have been working with Cale, but he doesn't know how to return emails or phone calls. I'd prefer to work with someone else.

Tomorrow is NC State's Alternative Vehicle Showcase. The event is on the University Brickyard (in the heart of main campus) from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Are there any Tesla Model S owners willing to bring their car down?

Hey guys – can anyone make a referral to a good electrician in the Triangle area? I need to start prepping the house for our new arrival.

Last minute reminder, EV meetup at the Ropes Course Shelter at Bond Park in Cary, NC at noon. Bring a picnic and maybe chairs. We might be in the parking lot or in the shelter. RTP Electric Vehicle Enthusiasts (Raleigh, NC) - Meetup

Hi, all. I'm wondering if anyone has made the trip from the Triangle/Triad area to OBX (or nearby). If so, what was your route and charging strategy? I'm a half-second away from confirming, and am walking through my few remaining hangups! Thanks!

Based off the hint in the Tesla Supercharger Network thread, I went looking around Alamance Crossing in Burlington earlier today and shot a few photos. The site is on the edge of the lot between Dillard's and the movie theater. It's fenced off at the moment, it looks like they've got the...

I heard of work happening on a supercharger site in North Carolina, and there wasn't a thread here to track these, so I'm creating this one. According to Tesla's SC plan at Supercharger | Tesla Motors , by the end of "Fall 2013" there will be 5-7 supercharger stations in NC, generally along the...

I'm South Carolina, and I was wondering if there was any Tesla Owners from Sourh Carolina on this forum.

Even though I am in DFW/Southwest, I am posting here because I think eyes and boots on the ground in GA, SC and NC will have better up-to-the minute info for SC stations roll-outs. I am planning a trip this Fall Late OCT./Early NOV. primarily to visit/tour Auldbrass Plantation near Yemassee...

Planning a trip from Tampa to St Simons to visit a friend in P85 MS. It looks like Port Orange SC will be up soon and I can top off for the trip up I95. Did not see ANY public or shared home charging options on St Simon island, GA. Anyone have any local knowledge? When the JAX SC is...

Does anyone in the Raleigh, NC area have a Model S with the standard sound system? I'm currently debating whether the UHFS is worth the $2500 premium and have only had the chance to listen to a UHFS sytem. I would love to be able to hear the difference.

Hello all! I run the East TN Clean Fuels Coalition and one of the primary alt fuels we work on is EVs. We have worked with the EV Project and with other partners directly to site EVSE across the region and the get fleets adopting EVs as appropriate vehicles in their fleets. Our coalition is...

I'm a brand new group member. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on the fabulous Model S but wanted to hear from anyone in the SC/NC area regarding delivery and any service/repair issues. Would love any information. Have a great day, Susan White Model S Owner, HopeToBeSoon

Just confirmed my order today and anxiously awaiting. Any other owners in Alabama. Is there any meetup group like in Atl?

Anyone in the Atlanta area who owns a Tesla, or is just interested in Tesla in general and may want to check out a few of them, feel free to join us for our next meetup. This one will be in Midtown Atlanta at Atlantic Station on Saturday August 24 at 3pm, in the parking lot between the Target...

Passing through tomorrow and was wondering if there is anybody in the area that could let me charge for about 1 hour? Heading 85 from Greenville SC to Raleigh.

Much to my suprise and excitement, the wife is completely on board with taking the Model S to Disney next month. We will be going from the middle of September thru the end of the month. The main requested stops are Savannah and St. Augustine for educational purposes. I'm starting to plan the...

Any recommendations? Thanks.
