    Does your Model S fit in your garage?

    When entering, I have clearance of 4.4 inches on each side but am still very careful when backing out. Once the mirrors clear the door frame I find that I am paranoid about scraping the fenders.:scared:

    December / Late December delivery (2013) VINs?

    Surprises: I am surprised that my grin has not left my face! I drove my LEAF the other day in ECO and was surprised to find that single pedal driving is much easier for me in the Model S. I enjoy having the Model S virtually stop itself with regen in low. I was pleasantly surprised at the...

    When I had my Blink EVSE installed in 2011 for my LEAF, SD County inspectors decided that my panel could only handle a 40 amp 240 volt circuit. My plan for the near term was to charge my MS at 32 amps until the future when I decided what to do about solar, panel upgrade, etc. I agree with your...

    Arizona Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    I can offer you 240V, 20 amp charging at my home just east of El Cajon. (I just got my car and I need to get an electrician out to trouble shoot my 40 amp circuit that trips the breaker when drawing 32 amps.) PM me if you are interested.

    December / Late December delivery (2013) VINs?

    I arrived at the Tesla pick up point promptly at noon. After the orientation and document signing I went on a 270 mile road trip. First stop was Culver City in LA to run an errand. I then went to the Tesla Super Charger in Hawthorne. I charged the car to 235 miles while I got a bite to eat and...

    It looks like you are 2 hours from delivery!! I will include California Premier Solar in the mix as I also have a clay tile roof. I have not seen a Model S in my neighborhood but if I mount a gun rack in the back window I'll fit in. :scared:

    Would you have bought your Model S if it wasn't electric?

    I am buying my Model S because it is an EV. I became addicted after driving my LEAF since April 2011.
