    Why/how would a Tesla Destination Charger call my son?

    7th Annual Black Hills Sound of Silence Tesla Rally! May 15—17, 2020

    Tesla Sound of Silence 2020 As Half Dollar Bill wrote last year: This is rapidly becoming THE meet-up for any Tesla owner to attend. Long-time road-trippers and new owners all have fun. It's all the easier now that Custer has their own supercharger. The town hospitality is still a wonderful...

    When buying an X, what are the major items to inspect?

    What are the most important items to inspect before taking delivery a Model X? I'm particularly interested in knowing what parts might be worn or damaged on a CPO or inventory vehicle.

    To infinity, and beyond!

    OK, so I'm only going on a road trip from Maryland to California. I'm leaving in about a week, in no particular hurry, and am planning a zig-zag trip. Would anyone on this forum (USA only) like me to stop by for a visit?

    LEGO now had 3 models of hybrid sports cars: Ferrari, McLaren, & Porsche

    LEGO is now making the concept of hybrid cars "cool". I'm kinda disappointed that they aren't making a model of a 100% electric car, but it's still a step in the right direction! http://www.lego.com/en-us/speedchampions/products/75899-laferrari ...LEGO® Speed Champions version of...

    EW! Don't dump your trash beside the Supercharger!

    This morning I was forced to deal with a dirty diaper someone left right beside the Port St. Lucie Supercharger, Florida. Seriously? Especially when there is a dumpster just past the row of chargers? Clean up after yourself!

    50,000 Mile Club

    I now have over 50k miles on my Tesla. My Dog Transport. Funny thing about this milestone: I had planned on slowing down, stopping at exactly 50k, and taking a picture of the dash display. Today I realized that not only did I hit 50k, but I'm not even sure which day it happened! Sometime...
