I received this from Tesla asking us for assistance in assimilating all the incentives that are available around the country: 'We have a slightly updated incentive section on our website that has a new email [email protected] – we encourage all customers to use that email to inform us of any incentives that they are aware of that we do not have on the website. Since there are so many state and local incentives, we greatly appreciate any information so we can update our website for all customers to access these wonderful incentives for Model S owners.'
Yes the same page for the canadian version of the site is very outdated. The news header is ok, but the Learn More link points to the tax department where it is impossible to find anything related to electric car incentives... Here's what I just posted to the Tesla incentive email address (hopefully, it is more responsive than the PR/webmaster email to which I emailed the same info a while back ) : Hello, Just heard you are looking for updated info about incentives, so here it is for Quebec, which is very outdated on your site, here: Incentives for Purchasing an Electric Vehicle in Canada | Tesla Motors The Learn More link for Quebec, points to Quebec's tax department, which reminds me more of tax time, than the pleasure of driving electric ... There is a site dedicated to the incentives program since January : (french only at this time) Véhicules électriques - Site du gouvernement du Québec I have asked about an english version of the site, but it seems it is not ready yet. You can inquire here : [email protected] Marie-Claude Michel Chargée de projet Direction des secteurs du transport, de l'industrie et de l'innovation technologique Bureau de l'efficacité et de l'innovation énergétiques Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune 5 700, 4e Avenue Ouest, RC Québec (Québec) G1H 6R1 Also, the new public charging network has been put in service on march 30th : Over 100 chargers at groceries, hardware stores and restaurants... More to come... The news (french only): Inauguration du Circuit bec The site (english & french) Electric Circuit
Thanks. They have the info for WA (though you have to type "Washington" into the <state> field. "WA" does not work. So folks need to type in their full state name.)
Here's the answer from their email system : Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists: [email protected] Your message wasn't delivered because of security policies.

Sent a test message. Apparently you can't send to them without auth. Their mail server is configured for outbound sending rather than for receiving mail.

It's server configurations. Only trained professionals should manage a mail system.
I still run Exchange 2007 also. When upgrading to 2010 (I believe that is still the most current) it was large cost increase, lots of labor without a lot of benefit. It also outmoded some of our integral software that was not compatible with 2010. My company decided to stick with 2007. Good decision IMO!
I would no more put Microsoft programs on my computer than I would put gasoline in my Roadster. :wink: <...Hides under couch waiting for brickbats to come flying...>
One of the best parts about working at Google is not having to deal with Office ever again. (We've gone waaaaay off topic).
It could be argued that sharing opinions about Office and 2007 v 2010 IS helping Tesla. (Assuming they're monitoring. Safe bet.) That would put it squarely ON topic.

I think it was just meant to be a joke, Daniel; that, you in Spokane can get away with not using the stuff that comes out of Redmond
Thank you. That makes sense. I imagined it was a joke. I just couldn't figure out what the joke was referring to.
