    Supercharger - Lake City, FL

    Larry: Lake City shows as online at Superchargers Would love to go to the ribbon cutting. I'm leaving the country on business Monday, the 25th. What is the chance of it happening Fri, Sat, or Sunday? Anyone want to go up this weekend? Bob

    How to easily get bugs off paint?

    Wet a microfiber cloth in a bucket of hot water. Fold into quarters and lay the wet cloth over the bug splat. Give it a minute or two and the bug splat will come off without scrubbing. This re hydrates the bug juice and makes it wipe right off. Works great with Florida's love bugs.

    Dramatic Loss of Range

    My wife and I have just returned from a 800 mile Florida road trip in our Model S #16924. We were able to charge up to 266 miles before departure. It was only the third time we've done a range charge, the others charged up to about the same. We charged up to 260 miles at the St Augustine...

    Help design a pedestrian warning noise for a Tesla

    I came up with this on my OP-1 mini synthesizer. https://soundcloud.com/bobhodgen/ev-warn Trying to make it reminiscent of the Jetson's car sound mixed with a back up warning. Hopefully audible without being obnoxious or threatening.

    Another Tesla fire in a garage, this time in Toronto

    To me it looks like they could be looking at the area in front of the car. There is what looks like drywall or insulation on the floor next to the car. Could have have been an electrical problem inside the wall or a space heater which got too hot or was knocked over and had nothing to do with...

    Unions

    I'm probably one of the few Tesla owners who's a Union member. I'm proud to be Union, and I'm proud to have been on strike. I strongly feel that labor has the fundamental right to organize. Over the last 30 years Union membership has declined while the middle class is in danger of extinction...

    Big Oil getting scared, full page WSJ ad (Exxon)

    To me the Exxon ad and video were wrong on so many levels. They're bragging about the efficiency of gas in terms of weight to energy. How come, despite carrying around big heavy batteries, EVs are four times more efficient than gas burners? i made a quick and dirty YouTube video to make this...

    Disney's current position regarding electric chargers

    I think I fixed the image. Had a great trip. Came home yesterday and averaged 301 w/h per mile at 65 and 70 mph. Did much better than expected considering the relatively cool 54 degree temp when we started. The outlets appear to be 5-20 type 20 amp 120v. They were installed upside down. I...

    Disney's current position regarding electric chargers

    We are staying at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort at Walt Disney World in Orlando. When we checked in we asked the valet if we could find a place to plug in. He directed us to a row in the parking lot with a 120v plug behind each space and invited us to plug in. He said that they have had...
