There is definitely the need for a supercharger in that vicinity. Lexington interchange of I-64 & I-81 would suit, too. Just made that trip recently and it's rough without the supercharger.

@AmpedRealtor, having checked with my present insurer, I don't qualify because this is the only car I have registered in my name, and I drive it routinely. Did you encounter issues related to those constraints?

Great day today at Virginia Center Commons. I counted 34 Model S's, one Roadster and too many politicians. Thanks to all who came from great distances. Eight chargers waiting for you on I-95 S. Come visit.

It Goes Without Saying. . . Ad in today's Washington Post! Iconic. 'Nuf said.

Thanks!! I had been staying at the Hyatt House the previous two nights to be near my sick little puppy who is in ICU at VRCC in Centerville. Thanks for the observations, and for your kind words. The Tesla Model S is the most amazing car ever and more than deserves all of the accolades it...

I only came from Williamsburg, but. . . . I sat in a parking lot on I-64W for an hour getting there because of an ICE fire, had to journey to Midlothian to pick up my grandson, time on track, return grandson, stop on the way home for dinner. Miles left when I pulled into garage: 5 rated...

Is there a forum for Tesla Service issues? It would be useful to have one, perhaps. Dealing with service is, at times, problematic. Help.

Actually, called Rockville again yesterday and reached Nathan. He said he had a service call on the Peninsula next week, and scheduled me for Tuesday. Thank you very much! There is a Hampton Roads Owners Group. Check the line up. I think there are only four of us, but it's a start.

Tesla is not responding.

I attempted to open it. It did so while making an unexpected metal against metal sound just above my head on the driver's side. I was able to close it, but now when I try to open it, it goes back about four inches and stops. Air screen does not come up on the driver's side, and I am getting...

I was pulled by a Chesterfield County, VA officer before I received my state tags. Without getting into the hassle about VA and their registration system, the officer was intrigued by the car, commented that that was the first time he'd ever pulled anyone and spent the entire time talking about...

Congratulations, I agree with nearly all you've said. I've had a nice pop in my two long positions, but I'm out on this morning's open. Doesn't pay to get greedy and I've got no tax consequences in my Roth. Let's see where it goes after the earnings release tomorrow and the shorts are out...

Little charging help here on the Middle Peninsula. I have had conversations with Colonial Williamsburg about considering a SuperCharger. It attracts the sweet spot CW loves. I hope those discussions continue. Spent the weekend in DC and was astounded, frankly, about the questions we got...

I'm having significant drop out of the XM signal when under even modest tree cover. I would have periodic dropout in my Toyota Highlander when under heavy foliage, but nothing like this. I've made the excuse that since the MS is much lower than the SUV, the problem may be inherent to the...

As this discussion reveals, there is much speculation about what the public announcement said or didn't. I think, importantly to TSLA owners, the Ownership Experience staff at TSLA doesn't know any more than we do. The gentleman with whom I spoke said that to me directly. He did, however...

I spoke with TSLA today. I had hoped to get details about this grand announcement. Even they don't have any, and advised me not to cancel my prepaid yet, until even they have a legal definition of what this new announcement means. The guy I spoke with doesn't know, and admitted as much. It...

I don't like paying for things I consider bad investments, but my perspective was the way to make this car the most valuable for the longest time was to add those features that nearly anyone spending this amount of money wants in a luxury car, so I purchased nearly all of the add-ons. Did not...

I agree with that. Virginia has a long and scarred history regarding innovation. Just look at our history in banking, air transportation, technology development. North Carolina ate our lunch on each of those fronts. So, it will be here, too, I suppose. The salvation may be in the burgeoning...

If you had wondered, as I had, what was taking so long to open the Tyson's Corner store, this morning's news provided at least part of the answer. Tesla is fighting the ubiquitous dealership monopoly here as well as elsewhere that is trying to thwart the TSLA store model. While successful...

Took delivery of my Pearl White 85 kWh on March 18, in the middle of a sleet storm. Car was very wet; I was very cold. It looked fine upon the visual inspection one can do in a sleet storm. Then I left for almost two weeks. Came back to more winter weather. Finally, spring arrived. First...

They did send the certificate, eventually. I was told they were going to stop collecting those fees on future purchasers from VA because of the problems VA drivers encountered with the State Police, which only caused owners to hound Tesla about where their registrations were. At the time they...

You will want to check, but I thought I recalled that the Clean Special Fuel tags and designation is not recognized in NOVA HOV corridor. See Va DMV: Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Tesla refunded the sales tax and registration fees to me so that I could title and register the car...

Jim, fantastic trip! See you didn't make it to the Middle Peninsula of Virginia, but time at Assateague clearly trumped history. So glad it went well.

Ladies, let us get real. That post was made by me, a woman, one that is practical! I'm way in front of you on the feminist side so put your howling aside. Back to let's get real. I don't know about you, but I do, in fact, have boobs and bags. Neither of which were considered when some...

Agree! - - - Updated - - - Just saw Tesla's soon-to-be released Drop-in Center Console. Thank goodness. And, it this one looks like it is taking great advantage of the vertical space while looking stylish. I can't wait. Has anyone heard at what price it might be sold?

Ok, let's watch percentages, boobs and bags! Hello. A woman with both. If nothing else, using the place for elbows and cups does not compute! Some have mentioned a storage bag on driver seat. Not in mine. Need beverage area forward. What were they thinking? I can deal with pocketbook...

A lot of the great ones are taken, but I managed to get this one!

I placed a service request on Friday for voice recognition failure, USB failure, tire pressure system alert alarm, Bluetooth failure. Have not heard from Tesla. Request will be handled out of Rockville. I have Pre-paid plan with unlimited Ranger, but kinda' pointless when they don't call you...

I had success by placing the EZ Tag on the backside of the rear view mirror shaft, as others had suggested. Not anxious to try to remove nose cone for this.

Just had this happen to me yesterday. Pulled in garage. Pushed button for Park. Door unlocks then opens. Not good. Waiting for a call from Tesla Service on a couple of other things. Will add this to the list.

New experience. Built in valet. Pulled into my garage, with only 17 rated miles left after a quick trip to Fredericksburg (round trip approx. 150 miles). 17 rated miles left. Put foot on brake, push end of gear handle to place in Park. Car unlocks itself and opens driver door. Hmmmmmmm...

Auto tilt is set on the Settings screen. Only the right side mirror auto-tilts, if engaged, unlike some other makes where both side mirrors tilt downward when in reverse.

The refund was for sales tax and registration fees. I did pay those with a credit card (to get the points) to DMV when I was finally able to have the car registered. The point was that the refund check was made payable to VA DMV. I couldn't cash it to cover the credit card charge. That means...

I am delighted to hear that others are not having bad experiences at the Tesla storefronts, but I did. And then, totally unrelated, another had the same experience with Tesla folks at a car show. So, I thank Robert.Boston, particularly, for providing a link to an internal source of help. Hey...

One had best hope that publicity and a good branding campaign speak for the Model S rather than the showroom sales people. I'm a Model S owner, but only because I had done my research and had taken a ride in one (from a total stranger who was kind enough to accommodate my pleadings) before ever...

Make certain that if Tesla is refunding registration fees, they make the check out properly. My check was made out to VA DMV even though there is no lien on this car. Now I will have to get them to cut another check. Hassle.

Avoid the lines at DMV. Go online to VA DMV. Search for a DMV SELECT site near you. They are located in car dealerships, but will do titles and registrations for any make/model, without the wait. The tip from Bud Cox, VA State Police.

Another conversation with Tesla this morning may have resolved my issue. They are refunding the sales tax and registration fees to me, forwarding the registration papers so that I can do the registration myself. They are having too many problems with VA and MD registrations, on top of an...

Bud Cox is who I spoke with today, personally. We, TSLaA owners, are not legal. He is awaiting a ruling from his legal dept. after issuing the caveat that he is not an attorney, which we all understand. Bottom line, is you can tell it to a judge after you deal with the trooper, who is...

I have spent the morning speaking with Field Enforcement at the Va St. Police, reading VA code and CA registration regs. It actually appears that the instructions that VA owners were given about that piece of registration slip being placed in the rear window is wrong, that it is not just...

Thanks for your response. I would like to have whatever info you might have. I had thought about calling the State Police or DMV for a ruling from someone other than a road warrior. TSLA finally emailed me a letter today that they said should satisfy the VA police, but I don't see where it...

Took delivery last Monday. I was pulled by a Chesterfield County deputy who loved the car (he was clueless about the car and Tesla), but suggested it was illegal for me to drive with the white CA registration. Spoke with Tesla today because the VIN isn't even showing up in the national...

Expecting my 85 kWh, Pearl White, loaded next week. On the Peninsula, but would like to "friend" Central Virginia TSLA group.

Todd: Margaret here. Another mishap. See: Last Call: Wet Your Whistleblowers MNF

Preparing space for arrival of my Model S in mid-March. I have just ordered this retractable tool balance to hold the cord: HUBBELL Tool Retractor, 8.0 Ft, For 5.0-10.0 Lb - Tool Balancer - 6HH11|BG-07-L - Grainger Industrial Supply
