Chad has been the primary Roadster tech here in the Northeast for a few years. I wonder who Tesla will use now. There are a couple other guys who worked on Roadsters but didn't have Chad's experience.

Always great to hear about resources like this!

@Btr_ftw, now that you "have a Chad", how about resurrecting a Roadster? Here are a few that need saving:

#683
#006 (Sig 100)
#1171
#1281 (Canadian)

Once you have a Chad, you can do anything.

I think Electrified Garage should move to California!

I'd vote for TEXAS.. Think of how much in Local, City, and State Taxes they would save! LOL

They're already in tax-free NH.

No too many west coast repairs shop : P.

Electrified Garage now has a shop in Ocala, Fl. Very exciting! Hopefully they can help maintain/fix our FL roadsters.

Open house on 10/04/2020.

Yeah, and NH business profits tax and business enterprise tax. So much for tax-free NH

Getting back OT, Several Roadsters in this area are using Electrified Garage (in NH). They appear to have the diagnostic software to perform the standard bleed test, among other things. A fair amount of Roadster experience in that shop, and all the reports I hear are positive.

Wait a minute...
Is a car-sized fork-lift really a better idea than using a tow-hitch?
