I had both my "Ts" wrapped. Took 5 min and was about $5.00 each, so far have been unscathed in a year and a half. Of course I had other items done too (door pulls, etc)

So fun. I really like the under car shot at the start.

Best yet for nearly anything that electronic falls into water: Put it into pure water, RO, distilled, ultra pure water. It needs to be pure H2O, no minerals. Thats how your boards were made in the beginning. old water doctor

I'm the OBNOXIOUS parker who uses 1 1/2 spaces, but way out in the far end of a parking lot...

I accidentally ran low due to high speed, hills and unexpected wind. Made it to Barstow with 0 (zero). That was EXTREME range anxiety, a terrible sickness. From the stop light to the supercharger I was a real balloon foot.

Same story as eyeSergeon, just more years w/o front plate. Just lucky I guess

4th of July in Palm Springs, sounds like fun. Will it be evening time?

Of course if you can have a 240/50 circuit installed in your garage and don't drive to much over 200 miles round trip per day

I may be the only oddball here (but I'm old) but I would trade my P85D for an S70 (non-D) with all the toys I have now. I love the auto-pilot. old burt

You sound like a Marine... Can't help you with first part, but where you live and commute, forget the HOV stickers. You've got more financials to worry about old burt

Would really like to see a Tesla readied for SEMA, if not live at least pictures.

Cars and Coffee is back but now at the OC Fairgrounds. I was there with my slightly modified P85D. Will be showing at La Cresenta this Saturday 6AM to 8 AM

When would you want a P-85D in Pearl While, tan leather, upgrade audio, no Pano roof. Never flogged, never left out at nite, never eaten or smoked in and NEVER been on a dirt road. Make me an offer. This car INSANE nice, delivered on Dec 30, 2014

I know many will top this: my first car was a '39 Ford couple that I drove to HS in the '50's. When I got back from Korea I got a '53 Chevy with Powerglide, a terrible 2 speed auto. Its a long way up to my P-85D. old geezer

My lucky stall. Lady friend won $475 while I was charging. She bought dinner. Glad its fixed.

maybeee. got a call in to my service tech

It's the best Supercharger on the West Coast...324 MPH charging!!!

My lady friend won $475 at Primm while I was Superchargeing so she bought dinner at Barstow on the way south. Should we split it with Tesla for putting the SC at a great place?

Yes, but did you see the new trash container at the left front corner of the white Tesla? That's a MAJOR upgrade !

Drove the highways/freeways from Los Angeles to Indio for years starting in 1958. Saw the desert grow into major commercial and industrial area plus all the fan farms. The winds were never fun when they did hit, but speed limits were much lower back then. The blowing sand was disasterous for...

Been there twice already, was the hit of Needles both times, made a lot of new best friends. Very handy for Barstow to Lake Havasu City. And best of all: a DQ. (Look at those gas prices!)

I've done the up and down the 5, no problems, the 15 from Rancho to Las Vegas, had a bit of anxiety of way back (operator error), did the Barstow to Needles twice and encountered my first head wind. That was terrorfying! Will check weather and plan better on next day trip

Is the appropriate place to be talking water; a Tesla forum? As a former and retired water doctor I appreciate the subject, but here?

Could it be we call it that because on the left side of the trunk is says "Model S" and on the right side of the trunk is says "P 85 D" or other designation? Just wondering...

Agree with 3s above, it must be laser. Saw a video of laser headlites (either Audi or BMW) they are fantastic. I'd be a retro to laser in a nano-second

I at first read it as Santa Clarita! Too bad, I was going to be there for the annual brush fire and/or earthquake, which ever they decide to have that week-end. Might be a good idea to keep on going north anyway...

NoMo...If I set mine at 6/7, I'd back all the way down to Mexico... 2 for me is even marginal at 70 mph in LA. I hate to be cut off so often

Las Vegas to LA is really easy now: Primm, Barstow, Rancho Cucamonga. Up the central state is also easy. I even used Needles, CA and Quartsite AZ recently. I've never had a wait at any SC...

Yes, approximately 5 years ago, Jeep Grand Cherokee. Southbound only, rarely stopped never searched. But would never do again, checked off the bucket list. Killed some bait, ate some great food and flew home. Regardless of warranty opinion, I wouldn't take a Tesla there for any reason.

At Fontana Speedway a few weeks ago, I gave that Mustang about a 5 car jump as I slept at the green light. At 60' he had me by 1.619 to 1.682, at 1/8th mile he was going 84.34 to my 91.72 and finally I had him at 11.736 to 12.375. I went 112.44 to his 102.23. Strangely, at that speed, my...

I've taken delivery of two Tesla's at Costa Mesa, but since you didn't say where you live, can't offer any advise...

Is that a RR siding, lower right, last photo?

strange, mine closes itself in 5 seconds old geezer

yobig, I also had a Sundancer, but a 36. Too big to haul around so slipped it. No need to buy a truck. Had a lot of fun with it, but very slow and a gas hog. Great for week-end getaways. However our marina has a dirt parking lot, so can't take Tesla there. old geezer

Waiting for a cold day here in SoCal, its been in the hi 80's all week and may cool off my next Monday...then I'll try the seat heater. old geezer

Hard to conceive of that, I'm in drought ravaged SoCal with temps all this week in hi 80's. old geezer

That's really great calculations. Therefore, with the normal speed of 78 between Victorville and Las Vegas, you could hop over either Barstow or Primm. Cajon can be tough depending on time of day and construction

a used part is a proven part... old geezer

I'll give you a draft from Rancho Cucamonga to Barstow if that will help... old geezer

did nearly the exact trip, works perfectly (without heater) old geezer

Was only 84 here for superbowl day, but down to hi 70's rest of the week. I'll never have your kind of fun... old geezer

Lake Powell is probably the most beautiful lake in the world, have boated thousands of miles on it over the years. Will be tracking this new Superchargers with great interest. old geezer for former boater

The "T" in the center of my steering wheel is Tesla Red. Does that count? old geezer

The Service Adviser at the Costa Mesa Service Center allowed me to take the showroom display out to my car to see how it would look installed. The one small panel in piano black is not a big deal either flipped open or closed. The flat black body of the console matches well. Since my...

Dont' worry about all that small $hit, put the kids thru college, then get on with your life. The rest will fall in place. old geezer

Mark R, I like that rendition...I'd buy it old geezer

Strange, when I had an S-85, got challenged all the time: on-ramps, freeways and occasional street. Now that I have a P-85D have never been challenged, and in fact am driving slower than ever (but smuggly).

I'd trade my week old P85D for that tomorrow if available. old geezer

I think R2B followed the old proverb: When all else fails, read the instructions. That was a great reminder, I've only used one half the potential of my new cruise control. Need to spend more time in my garage, reading. old geezer

After only 1 day of experience, they work exceptionally well and I really like that I don't come up behind anyone and hit them in the rear mirrors. old geezer
