I park a Tesla on a lift in my garage - been a great solution to fit three cars in a two car garage for several years now. For charging, I suggest you consider a ceiling-mounted cable solution. You should then be able to plug in with the car on the ground, and have the cable sufficiently...

These guys in Conshohocken inspect my Roadster and my Model S. They an independent Mercedes shop and are familiar with both cars and take due care: Mercedes-Benz Repair, Service and Maintenance by C.S. Cantlin Automotive in West Conshohocken, PA

Well, this busts my theory about checksum test OTA at install time :)

I suspect that the car may still go over the air for the checksum at install time, based on recent behavior when they pulled 4.5. It had already been downloaded on my car but at install time failed out - my guess is they halted the rollout for vehicles that had downloaded but not installed yet...

You can postpone the update indefinitely by simply closing the notification window, rather than setting a time to update or updating now. The text in the update box details the three options I believe.

Great point. I always try to use all of the space I have even if my car could stop faster - that gives the car behind you the best chance of stopping before hitting you!

Deleting and reinstalling the app worked for me, if you haven't tried that yet.

I have 1.15.14 and have used supercharger without issue.

The Philly center is in Audubon off Trooper Rd. I don't know if it is open or not for service at this point, but it looked close to ready when I took delivery of my S there in Dec.

I live in the western burbs as well, and also hoping for delivery this year... I don't see any indication on the PA website ( Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant ) that the program expires in 2012. Rather, it seems like it ends when the allotted rebates run out. Per the site, as of Nov. 19, 2012...

The driver's seat adjusts front/back. Neither seat adjusts up/down and the steering wheel does not adjust. There are inflatable lumbar supports in both seats. The seats themselves are different from most of the 2008 VPs (more comfortable).

Sport Motor? The discussion about the adjustable suspension has me interested in the other half of the Sport package: Has anyone had a chance to compare the motor performance of a 2010 Sport w/ a 2010 non-Sport? What were your observations?

Congrats! Detailed report and photos, please! :biggrin:

I've gathered all of the time slip data I can find from the last two weekends of drag racing. Most of the slips come from this site - many thanks to Tom Saxton for entering his slips into a spreadsheet already! So far, I've found 35 runs by 2008 Roadsters (Please note: I've eliminated two...

One of those fans is attached to the motor, as with the 2008, although the airflow is routed a bit differently. The other fan is attached the PEM - the 2008 PEM has an internal fan. These changes are common to all 2010s, not just the Sport.

I second that - lots of photos of the carbon fibre interior would be great.

I thought the Executive Leather option was $6k?

Only two of the eight highlighted features appear to be present in James' car - with at least four other changes visible outside of the highlighted ones.

Executive leather very different from renderings... Check out the large number of differences between James' photos and this Tesla rendering.

Bolosky, Would love to hear your take on adjustable suspension after your test drive if you have a chance to write up your thoughts... Also, so long as I'm asking for favors, any additional pictures of the 2010 interior would be cool :) Have fun!

Cottonwood, Thanks for sharing this - very exciting for those of us who've been wondering if a 'real' track day was possible. The fact that you could run your 20 minutes of each hour and more or less keep up on charging (at 40A) is great news... Sounds like roughly half of each session was at...

A possibly-related tidbit, this time from Steve Jurvetson, posted yesterday in a comment thread on a shot on his Flickr page: "don't give up hope. Stay tuned 'til Tuesday." This was in response to someone who posted the following comment: "i would love to buy an electric car, but i'm...

I don't remember the radio being on at the NY event - that was an asphalt track at the Chelsea Piers. Didn't notice any squeaks.

Also found some other pictures from the event: Tesla at NORA autocross pictures by RichV_2007 - Photobucket Interestingly, the car seems to have Yoko A048's (standard on Roadster Sport) on it rather than AD07's (standard on Roadster)... pic of tires on Roadster: Tesla at NORA autocross ...

I've got a better idea about the options now (thanks Lancelac!) After seeing the drawing of how this is going to be laid out, I'm very tempted to add this as well... Could look really fantastic.

10 minute view - very positive compared to some of the other European reviews I've seen. Light on detail; no test results or the like. Mostly focused on the quiet (but very positive about it for a change), the acceleration, and on being environmentally responsible while still having fun...
