    Supercharger - Waterloo, NY

    My son was driving my Model 3 and had the same problem last Tuesday. He found a service road by the casino with an individual posted by the entrance. The person asked him if he wanted to go to the superchargers, and he replied, yes. The man allowed him to go down the service road to get to the...

    Supercharger - Madison, CA (I-95 NB and SB Rest Areas)

    Any updates on the superchargers in Madison, CT? I am going to be passing through here at Thanksgiving and I am hoping that they are open.

    I believe you pay the sales tax of the State you choose to register your car in.

    opinion on delivery

    I too reserved a Model 3 on the first day and I am a Model S owner. My wife wants an electric American made car. She is turning her diesel VW in next month. Like all reservation holders, We are trying to guesstimate when our Model 3 might be ready for delivery. We are thinking about leasing a...

    Oh so close. I am planning to drive to Cleveland tomorrow from Syracuse. Think it will be hooked up tomorrow? Hope, Hope...:-o

    The new CHADdeMO charger being built in Ithaca, New York is also awaiting a part and some work to be completed be NYSEG before it is operational.

    Geneva, Ohio charger

    No hurry. I am driving to Cleveland this weekend, but I probably will not take my MS as the Buffalo Supercharger is not open yet. :crying:

    Geneva, Ohio charger

    Has anyone tried this charger listed on Plugshare? It is off of I90 in Geneva, OH. I have never noticed it before. It certainly would help getting from Cleveland to Buffalo. The Buffalo Supercharger is set to open soon. JB Jerky Outlet East Parking Lot | Geneva, OH | Electric Car Charging...

    Doubletree Binghamton HPWC out of Commission

    There is another HPWC in Binghamton at Scottech at 336 Court Street, Binghamton, NY. It is on the right hand side of the building. It is free to use. It is listed on Plugshare.

    Supercharger - Buffalo, NY

    If you look on Plugshare, there are two Model S owners with HPWCs in the Buffalo area willing to let Tesla owners use them. You need to contact them before showing up.

    Supercharger - Syracuse, NY

    If you look on plugshare, there are two HPWCs in Binghamton. One is at the Doubletree, which you may have to be a guest to use and one is at a company called ScottTech at 336 Court Street Binghamton. The HPWC is on the right hand side of the building. On the left hand side is a J1772 charger...

    Might be the new Mazda CX-3 due out this summer.

    Supercharger - Buffalo, NY

    I drove by the Syracuse site two days ago and saw no activity. I was not surprised between the amount of snow and cold temperatures we have had this week. I will keep checking it out.

    Supercharger - Syracuse, NY

    You are a better sleuth than I am. I was coming back from Rochester today and got off I-90 at the I-81 exit to see if I could find any supercharger construction activity. I also checked Destiny. Maybe Destiny wanted too much money for Tesla to place their chargers there. Or maybe they didn't...

    Supercharger - Syracuse, NY

    Destiny Mall is in Syracuse in Onondaga County. I have not seen any permit requests for Onondaga County.

    Supercharger - Guilderland, NY

    It says that there are only three charging stalls. I thought Tesla was building six. Might be a problem this summer.

    Supercharger - Guilderland, NY

    I agree that Binghamton makes more sense than Ithaca. However, I think Syracuse makes more sense than Rochester because it is at the intersection of the North South highway, I-81 and East West I90. I believe there are many Canadian Tesla owners who would want a charger off of I81 near...

    Strange Color on Charge Port

    I have the same problem when I go to charge. Some of the charge port lights are red and the rest are blue. I talked to the Mt. Kisco service center and said not to worry about it. They will fix it the next time I need service.

    Vendor T Sportline 19" TST Wheels For Sale Tesla Model S

    I have ordered a set of the matte black rims. Do I need to have separate TPMS sensors or can I use my original ones? I am going to mount my summer tires on the black rims and keep my snow tires on my silver rims. Is it better not to move the TPMS sensors back and forth between winter and summer...

    Supercharger - Guilderland, NY

    According to the meeting minutes, the Tesla superchargers for the Colonie Center Mall were, "Defer to Local Consideration and approve as is." I am not sure if the Town of Colonie now has to approve it.

    Trying to find a Marriott or Hilton chain hotel with charging nearby in Harrisburg

    It looks like the Fairfield Inn and Suites in Hershey, PA has a J1772 charger. Hershey is 14 miles from Harrisburg and has other level two chargers around Hershey World. You can enjoy the chocolate.

    New York Supercharger - In Progress

    I believe the next New York Supercharger is in Albany, NY. In December 2013, Tesla appeared before the planning board for approval to build six superchargers at the Colonie Center Mall, in Colonie, NY. Visitors to the location have not seen any construction started. According to the...

    Any owners in Erie, PA?

    There is a KOA just outside of Erie that I used to charge up last spring. It is close to I-90 and listed on Plugshare. However it might not be open yet for the season. Some other MS owner used the Erie BMW dealership to charge as they have just installed chargers.

    Ran out of juice, 12V and main pack drained, need info.

    Islandbayy, I greatly appreciate you posting this adventure. I can sympathize with you a little. My MS arrived a year ago today. I live in Syracuse, NY and have a son in college in Cleveland, OH. He of course wanted me to drive to Cleveland to show him the car. After doing a range charge at...

    Brakes freeze up when parked. Previous cars didn't do this.

    This happens to me almost every morning. The car is almost always parked in the garage wet, because of the amount of snow we have had this winter. When my MS went in for its 12,000 check up, the service center said they had to replace the rear brake rotors because they had too much corrosion...

    Cleveland and Cincinnati Service Center #2 (Loveland) Coming Soon

    I am wondering if the Cleveland Service Center will also have Superchargers like the Syosset, NY service center. I know Macedonia is only about 20 miles South of Cleveland, but it seems like it would be a good idea for Tesla travelers going East or West on I-90.

    Supercharger - Guilderland, NY

    It is about 3 to 5 miles off of exit 24 of the Thruway, I believe.

    Supercharger - Guilderland, NY

    On the agenda for the Albany County Planning Board's December meeting was consideration of a site plan for 6 Tesla superchargers at the Colonie Center. The minutes of the meeting are not online yet, so I do not know any more details.

    folding bike that fits in the frunk?

    The Bromptons are a bit pricey but I think the quality is there. They do run $1300 to $2000 depending on model and how you equip them. Occasionally you can find used ones on Ebay, which is what I tried to do. They seem to get snapped up fairly quickly as these bikes seem to have quite a...

    folding bike that fits in the frunk?

    Here are two pictures of my Brompton folding bike in the frank. They are a little out of focus because it was dark out. You can see I have plenty of room to carry a helmet, and basket that attaches to the frame of the bike. So I am guessing larger folding bikes would probably work as well.

    folding bike that fits in the frunk?

    I have a Brompton that fits in the frunk. It is probably one of the smaller folding bikes but it is also one of the more expensive bikes. I bought it for the same reason that I think you are planning to. I have traveled a bit with my Model S last spring and summer and would charge at RV...

    Did anybody drive in a MS 60 from Delaware Supercharger to Glen Allen, VA SC ?

    Try googling David Noland's blog on Green Car Reports. I believe he did this trip in his MS 60. He lives in New York State and drove from there to North Carolina if my memory is correct. He wrote extensively about the trip. Sorry I do not have a link to the article. If you cannot find it let...

    Trying to go from Ithaca, NY to Grand Rapids, MI -- range anxiety

    Neroden, If this helps,there is a very friendly Model S owner in Clarence, NY with HPWC. I have stopped and charged at his home on the way from Syracuse to Cleveland. He is listed on Plugshare. He also is responsible for the Sun Country 90 Amp chargers at the Best Westerns in Syracuse and...

    Albany / Syracuse / 401

    I have no idea when the superchargers are going to go in. However there are 90 amp chargers at the Best Westerns in Syracuse and Albany, thanks to a Model S owner.

    GREEN EZ Pass

    I am still having trouble placing the green EZ Pass such that it gets read. I tried placing it on the back of the mirror stem. It worked about 50 % of the time. Anyone have a picture of the green EZ Pass in a location where it is working well?
