    Southern California Edison & Electrician

    Len I live in Aliso Viejo right next to you. I also don't use much electricity during on-peak & only charge my car at midnight during the super off-peak time. I went with the Home Electric Car Plan and it's definitely saving me money. I also looked into solar and had quotes from 3 companies...

    Tesla Garage art / surveillance

    What's the point of the camera? To prevent your teenage kid from taking your car out secretly? Seems a roundabout way of achieving that, and you'd have to constantly be watching. Just keep your car keys somewhere he/she doesn't know. If the point is to actually catch them in the act, it...

    Lots of wind noise

    There are many sources for wind noise issues on this car, so it's really dependent on your service center being able to diagnose it correctly. I had a significant wind noise issue from the front driver side door area that took 3 trips to the service center to finally fix. Initially they...

    60 vs 85

    Totally depends on your own needs & priorities, which is anyone's guess. If you're only basing it on range requirements, it sounds like you answered your own question, you don't need an 85. But be aware that you will lose more than just range by going with a 60, I leave it to you to do the...

    My charging has 40% efficiency loss?

    I am already on firmware 5.0 (took delivery of my car 2 weeks ago), so vampire drain should already be lower right? And yes I can be very confident in my estimation of my home's baseline draw because during the wee hours of the night (12am-6am) it fluctuates only .01 to .02 per hour. I...

    My charging has 40% efficiency loss?

    I have my MS set to charge at 12am to take advantage of the lowest electricity rates. And when looking at my electrical usage, I notice my car using a lot more electricity than it expended that day. For example, the day before yesterday (starting with a full charge) I used 14.1kwh of energy...

    My MS refuses to remember my home wifi network. I have to manually reconnect it or else it just stays on 3G. Anyone else have issues with their cars not remembering and connecting to past wifi networks?

    Need help with an EV doubter

    You're trying to get validation on a very general statement. Don't confuse what "some" dealerships do with what "all" do. Yes many dealerships markup the prices of their cars. But many cars are also sold at or below invoice. Dealers have countless other ways to make money without marking up...
