    Texas Direct Auto

    Has anyone in Texas bought a car from Texas Direct Auto?. They are located in Stafford Texas (Houston) It's odd that all of their cars only come with one key, no books or mats :confused:

    Supercharger - Sulphur Springs, TX

    I hate to keep starting threads on speculation, but it's based upon some good information. The last I heard, the CSB in Greenville was a high possibility (and may still be). I was told by the manager there that Tesla had already been out to do measurements, etc. But now, I discovered this...

    New owner in Texas

    Just ordered a CPO today while I was in Dallas. The car will be coming from LA. I'm very excited! It's a 2014 P85 with autopilot. It's pretty much loaded with options as far as I can tell. 13k miles. Can't wait! Only drawback is they said delivery can take up to 3 weeks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Model X in Austin

    I just spotted what may be the first Model X in Texas while driving in the Northwest Hills neighborhood of Austin. It was a grey P90D. I followed it, hoping to convince the owner when it arrived home that I wasn't crazy but just wanted to see the Model X, but I had to give up my pursuit when it...

    Trips to Brownsville from Houston Area

    I need to retrieve my niece and nephew during school breaks and would love to do it in my Tesla rather than an ICE. This is the result of my research (evtripplanner.com, Tesla destination charger webpage, and Plugshare) The Victoria SC should eventually shave a couple of hours but it looks...

    Typical supercharger stops between Houston and Dallas

    Just curious what the most efficient stops are between Houston and Dallas? (assuming 100% range charge prior to departure) From Houston to Dallas I was thinking of just stopping at the Corsicana charger (and skipping Huntsville). Then on the way back from Dallas to Houston I was thinking of...

    Wrecked!

    I spent the weekend in Corpus Christi at the Padre Island Best Western, the only motel or hotel in Corpus with destination charging. The staff there were great. They made sure the Tesla spot was clear before I arrived. They had a 2nd charger of the CHAdeMO variety but I stuck with the Tesla...

    My first long trip in Model S - Corpus Christi, North Padre, and USS Lexington

    Just got back from my first long distance trip in the Model S (85D). Trip was for an overnight stay on USS Lexington with my son's Scout Troop. I pleasantly surprised how well the superchargers work and how little they change traveling except for a little extra planning. Drove from Keller (North...

    Supercharger - Greenville, TX (Another speculation)

    Driving to Dallas today on my way, I glanced over at the Collin Street Bakery (like I always do) and saw what appeared to a be a large white portable storage container in the parking lot. On my way back home, I made a stop and went by. I didn't take any pictures (should have), but there is a...

    Looking for DFW referral for Blackvue Installation.

    Any word on Superchargers near Greenville or Sulphur Springs (on I30 from Dallas)

    As I consider a Tesla, one of my "use cases" is trips from Grapevine, TX to either Sulphur Springs or Paris, TX. We do these trips throughout the year, but very often around the holidays when it is colder, etc. I previously leased a Volt so I understand what happens with range at higher...

    70 or 70D - Is AWD Necessary In Texas

    I'm looking to get the Model S instead of the X. Since I want to purchase a fully autonomous vehicle as soon as it is available, I decided to enjoy the base model 70 Tesla for a few years. How important is AWD in Texas? I read comments about the AWD being a tad noisy as compared to RWD so if...

    New Order, Referral Wanted

    Okay, it's time for me to come off the bench. AP is released and seems good enough for my purposes. New hardware from the X doesn't seem like it's going to trickle down to the S in the foreseeable future, and rumors will always be rumors. What's there now is good enough for me, and while I...

    DFW P85+ Owners...how's the ride quality?

    Getting near end of 2015 - Any word on new Superchargers in Louisiana and Texas?

    The Tesla Supercharger roadmap is still showing Superchargers to be completed by the end of 2015 in Alexandria and Shreveport, Louisiana, as well as East Texas (Longview?). Where do people go to find permit applications for these areas, or are these areas immune to the inter-webs? :smile:

    Best aftermarket upgrade NVX
