    Rivian seemingly plans to reveal R2 on Mar 7 at flagship Laguna Beach store

    Ten-year Tesla owner (S, X, 3, Y) here. Last summer I replaced my 2016 Model X P90D with a Rivian R1S and am very happy. I had a couple of 12V electrical issues in the first month, and it's been perfect since then - no panel gaps and a great-looking and comfortable interior with lots more room...

    State Inspection in MA

    There's a gas station about two blocks from my home that does inspections, and I made a habit of getting 13 months out of them by going there the morning of the first day of the following month - figuring I was unlikely to get caught by a cop in those two blocks. The shops would just give the...

    Tesla Service Center - Dedham, MA

    What proposed new supercharger down the street? And maybe they keep the existing superchargers just for Sales & Service to use? (which is at times how they have been).

    New "Universal Wall Connector" doesn't charge the Rivian.

    Unfortunately I have a new Universal Wall Connector sitting in my house, waiting to install at a second home in place of the current NEMA 14-50, probably over Thanksgiving weekend because I can't get there sooner. It's to charge my Model Y and some family members' Model 3s, as well as my Rivian...

    Model X door no longer open fully automatically without USS (ultra-sonic sensors)?

    I'm scheduled to get mine next week. It kept the Model X looking new even after over 7 years. And I would be very hesitant to take the R1S off-road without PPF.

    July 2023 and AP1 is still a better driving experience on Interstates than FSDb

    I have AP1 on my 2016 X which has been a reliable highway cruiser - especially with free supercharging for life. I also have a 2020 Y with FSD and I wind up just using autopilot which is about the same as AP1. When I use Navigate On Autopilot or FSD I’m not confident in what it’s doing, eg lane...

    Model X door no longer open fully automatically without USS (ultra-sonic sensors)?

    This is just one reason that I'm going from a 2016 X to a 2023 Rivian R1S. Losing the stalks is another. I honestly would prefer my current P90D, even with its lower range, slower supercharging, and Autopilot 1.0 with no dashcam, over a new Model X. But with my battery/drivetrain and extended...

    Vendor Six days left in Climate XChange's Tesla or Rivian raffle!

    Thanks to your and others' support, we actually managed to recover from our extremely slow start and sell out this year's raffle just hours before sales closed - about 3000 tickets in the final month! The drawing via live stream went off smoothly last Friday afternoon, you can watch it here...

    Elon & Twitter

    The things I heard the most feedback about were 1) "prosecute/fauci", 2) his post of the Paul Pelosi conspiracy article, that he later deleted, and 3) when he said people should vote Republican the day before the election, after tweeting that Twitter should be apolitical (or something to that...

    Elon & Twitter

    I'm sorry, but this feedback is from our past ticket buyers - the people we bulk email each year - who are not opponents of TSLA. They are generally Tesla fans, who aspire to own a Tesla or who own one and would like to win another/newer/better one. For some the chance to win a Tesla comes first...

    Elon & Twitter

    Hi, I'm the guy in the article. There is effectively zero chance of our canceling the raffle because we've cleared our costs for the prize pool and taxes, and we would also be out all of the card processing fees. But if we don't come a lot closer to selling out then we will have very little left...

    Eversource Massachusetts Demand response/Connected solutions for Tesla?

    They definitely have connected solutions for Nest thermostats in MA. I've been enrolled in that for several years now, and get rebates in the form of Amazon or Visa gift cards.

    New Englanders -- check in!

    Hi again, some of you met my daughter Miyuki at various Tesla and EV events over the past decade. Well sure enough, in a decade she went from 4 to 14 years old! A teenager! For making this video for Climate XChange to advertise on TikTok, she got the Rivian t-shirt and bandana, and a new pair of...

    Supercharger Voting 2023

    I suggested Warner, NH along I-89 near Sunapee: 28 Route 103 W, Warner, NH 03278. 26 miles from Hooksett SC and 41 from West Lebanon SC. I was looking for someplace between Hooksett and West Lebanon, particularly for times when winter weather is bad or W. Leb is out for some reason (like when...

    Thanks very much, Alan - and thank you for pioneering the Climate XChange Raffle way back when Teslas were a relative rarity on the roads! It has been an invaluable funding mechanism for CXC's work over the past seven years. As you mentioned, we made a big change this year by adding new...

    Supercharger - Auburn MA

    Yeah I was driving back from NYC yesterday and because we started out low, range was looking a bit iffy even after a lunch stop in southern CT. The car suggested Framingham but I was going to stop at Charlton if needed, because it's so much more convenient. My son asked about Auburn. "We don't...

    Supercharger - West Lebanon NH

    Yeah, I got an email from Tesla that said "Your Supercharger selection was chosen!" or some such - and got excited that Warner was it. Then realized it was for some other site I also happened to vote for? I'm not really sure, can't remember what I clicked on... We'll just have to try again next...

    Supercharger - West Lebanon NH

    Good idea - I submitted it to Tesla's twitter thread requesting Supercharge location suggestions (their tweet request is a month old, but figured I'd give it a shot): https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1567905740022497281

    Seeking Refreshed Model X photos/video or photo shoot

    Thanks for responding, @Eskimo YoYo - I didn't see this because due to lack of prior responses we made the decision in early August to rent a Model X on Turo for a photographer friend to get pics and video. I hope you're loving the X Plaid!

    Electrify America - New Canaan, CT (CT-15 Service Plaza)?

    Bummer that it's not the Supercharger, but any EV charging buildout is a good thing. Thanks for clarifying @tes-s, I haven't been past there in a while.

    Electrify America - New Canaan, CT (CT-15 Service Plaza)?

    I stopped at the northbound side this evening. There is no construction activity there at this point so nothing to see.

    Electrify America - New Canaan, CT (CT-15 Service Plaza)?

    This evening I spotted what looks like the beginning of Supercharger construction at the southbound New Canaan Service Plaza on CT Rte 15. It was dark and raining so I couldn’t see the northbound side. It’s definitely utility and likely EV charger install work. I didn’t have time to get closer...

    I called it - that tree next to the cabinet enclosure is a goner! Too bad - my dogs like sitting under it when I charge in the first stall.

    Seeking Refreshed Model X photos/video or photo shoot

    For our upcoming 7th Annual Tesla Raffle fundraiser, Climate XChange is looking for photos and video of a refreshed Model X in white or any other color besides blue (we featured blue S and Y in the past two years). Your car could appear on our raffle website carbonraffle.org, on online ads and...

    On my way back to Boston today. Some progress - they’re digging up around the new spots.

    This tree might be a goner if they add the big charger cabinets here - note the circle around it.

    Looks like the new ones will have the same issue - they’re just extending the current row.

    Supercharger - West Lebanon NH

    I’m just charging her now and looking forward to this expansion. I’ve rarely seen it completely full but often as right now there is no way to avoid sharing a charger. It’s also sometimes hard to tell which stalls are in use when people park on the back side but today that’s not an issue.

    Peter here again. With six weeks until our 2/23 sales cutoff and 2/25 drawing, we are behind track and still have nearly 2000 tickets of our 5000 left. So we either have strong sales between now and then, which I would much prefer because this is what funds all of our programs, or you have much...

    Model X w/AutoPilot Cracked Windshield Replacement

    Reviving this thread. I have a footlong crack on the passenger side of my Model Y windshield, from a small branch that fell during the big storm a few weeks ago. Spoke to my insurer (Travelers) who will cover it with no deductible. They have a deal with Safelight to handle it with no payment...

    Our Grand Prize winner from February picked up his Model S at the new Norwell MA Tesla Store last week! We drove to a more picturesque area nearby to get some photos and video. I wish I'd had a Gopro mounted on the back of my Y as we drove there - the white S looked beautiful in my rear view...

    Welcome to Cambridge! I see more and more Teslas every day. I have a five-year old X and a Y, my tenant has a Y and my next door neighbor as well. But there are also a lot of other EVs. Nearby are Model 3s, Volts, Bolts and an ID.4. I'm sure there would be many more if street-side charging was...

    Plate Number for EV Plate

    I had EV plates on my first three Teslas - on the Model 3 in 2018 it was the default. But when I picked up my Model Y in Peabody in June I was surprised to get regular plates. They said they hadn't received EV plates throughout Covid. I was bummed - I think the plates help highlight and promote EVs.

    Does the new Model S have the heat pump from Model Y?

    I'm an X and 3 owner, trying to help a friend choose between Model S and Model Y. He likes the range of the new Model S, but was wondering if they're updating the heating system to a heat pump like the Model Y. I searched this site but didn't see any threads on it. Anyone out there hear anything...

    Supercharger - Deerfield Beach, FL

    At my suggestion Paul and his wife visited the Deerfield Beach Supercharger. They spoke with a friendly couple with a Model S who told them all about theirs, let them sit in it, and showed them what they have found to be the easiest way to get in and out. As a result, it looks like they are...
