    Preference: Saginaw or Bay City Michigan Super Charger

    I vote for Baycity, Gaylord, Port Huron, (Cedar St.) Lansing and Traverse City Meijer locations. Then Fire Keepers Casino in Marshall.

    Supercharger - Ann Arbor, MI

    I swung by today. None of that stuff is for the Supercharger. The other contractors are storing stuff there and more than likely hit and damaged the charging station. It does appear DTE has pulled wire to a nearby electrical vault. we should see some progress getting a transformer in place soon.

    When I attended the Ribbon cutting at the Grand Rapids Supercharger on 7/27/2015 they announced that the Cadillac, MI Supercharger will be completed this year and located at the Meijer store in Cadillac, MI. If anyone is from the Cadillac area and can scout this out from time to time it would be...

    Can't even believe how nice it's going to be having the A2 and GR superchargers online. They are going to open up a whole new area of work commuting coverage I have had a difficult time fitting into my work and life schedule. Overnight stays will no longer be needed in any direction. Range...

    Pictures from Last Tuesday. Electricians say DTE needs to bore under the road to bring power in for the transformer. They hope to have it up and running after the 4th. They will call me when its close so we can get a rally organized.

    Ann Arbor Supercharger update. Conduit is set and getting buried today. I left him my business card and said when he is set to power it up and he needs a Tesla to test it, give me a call. He doesn't know of any other locations selected for installation in Michigan yet. Hitting this one when...

    The conduit is going in. I talked to the installers and they a very excited to be involved in this installation. We need to plan a rally at the Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor Meijer stores and make a big deal about recognizing Meijer for these and possibly future locations.

    It may be cheaper to run a shorter distance. Could be to showcase the station and cars. Shorter distance to restaurants?

    I drove by the 28th Street Meijer Friday and I see survey sticks and utility flags staked out but not sure if this is a designated area. I also swung thru the Ann Arbor location but can't see anything designated yet. A lot of construction going on there for small stores on the main road.

    Michigan Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    A supercharger in GR and Ann Arbor right now would be nice. I'm heading to Fountain, MI in the morning and returning Sunday. Made arraignments to charge my car at a local campground up there while I party at a friends cabin. The return trip brings me to my brothers house in Fowlerville where I...

    I drove through the Saline Meijer parking lot yesterday and there is major construction going on at the west side of that parking lot. Google Earth shows grass but there are several new small stores already built with more on the way. The only thing currently looking like Tesla Supercharger...

    Supercharger - Dayton, OH

    I think you are going to see a lot more Meijer Superchargers throughout the Midwest and Great Lakes. Being open 24/7 and in a pretty secure parking lot makes me feel a lot better about charging with my family along for the ride. Meijer is expanding quickly. Doug Meijer is also a fellow Tesla...

    Dont do it! I have the 21's and have gone through 8 tires in 36,000 miles of driving. 3 of which where blown from potholes in one week. They are $575 each and hard to get. They also get poor fuel economy compared to the 19". They are terrible in the snow as well. They look cool! If you are...

    Traveling East to West against prevailing winds definitely burns more power. Hold your power use just below 20kW on the dash or 333wh/mile will be a one for one rated miles this is not easy. Find a truck doing 70+ and drop in behind him.

    Decreasing rated range.

    My mistake it is 90%.
  39. Daniel Scherer

    Decreasing rated range.

    Mine is a P85 and at 80% it reads 222 miles rated and at 100% 253 miles. I have over 24,000 miles on it now.

    Regen limitation in cold weather

    Max range in cold weather. Preheat your car 20 minutes before you unplug this uses house power and not battery. Drive easy by watching your kW usage. Try not to exceed 30kW on acceleration. Once up to speed, keep it at or below 20 kW on your dash screen. Turn your power screen on you center...

    Social Chat - Short Term TSLA Movements

    I think what you saw in after hours was stock manipulation. Very few shares traded and it was driven down on purpose. This is not a reaction from the 3 quarter report just someone trying to create a panic sell first thing tomorrow when the market opens.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    I timed everything perfect yesterday and today between TSLA and SCTY. By far my best profit take. Next big dip I will be ready to grab more shares. It's fun when it all comes together.

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    I could have gained 20 shares today if I had read the stock movement better and been more patient but I did gain 7 shares so that's not too bad. Tomorrow will be interesting. I expect the Tuesday shuffle to happen again.
