    Supercharger - Fresno, CA (6709 N Riverside, LIVE 10 Jan 2016, 10 V2 stalls)

    Ok, just drove by... no construction as of today but I did see they have run several temp power poles to the site location... my guess is they are getting ready to begin sometime soon.

    Ranger Service Going Away?

    Wetspot / Leak

    My P85+ had a real bad leak this last weekend... started to drive off after the car sat in the rain overnight. As soon as I applied the brake to slow down at the corner (with the top closed) I was drenched with water coming thru the top over the drivers seat right between my legs on my front...

    WOW!!! Quick time from order to pick up at plant

    Ordered a second Model S on August 28, picking up on September 25. Less than 30 days. Wonder if someone dropped out with the same specs on their car. Or maybe they are pushing again for end of qtr sales closings?

    Showing Tesla as a business expense

    In California in the county where I live you can still get around $5,000 in refunds from the air quality control district and the State. My CPA said it was a better option for me to do a business lease with 15,000 miles per year for 3 years than to purchase. He said we could write off almost...

    Question on the SC at Gilroy , CA

    While driving home from the factory Friday I stopped at the Gilroy super charger to check it out. I noticed about 4 chargers with front drive in slots but they were all marked reserved. Are these for Tesla employees or for public use? The others with back in slots were not marked reserved...

    1st phase of mods added...

    mine actually came off very easy... maybe because it was only installed for ½ a day. I pulled it off when I arrived home before they added the photosync window tinting... then just lightly reattached for now.

    I was told a cashiers check, personal check or bank transfer... I am bringing a personal check... but mine is a 3 year lease... maybe that makes a difference??

    Forcibly going to PARK when I take weight off the driver's seat.

    Not sure if anyone mentioned it but you need to have your seat belt on if you are going to move around in your seat... otherwise it will shift into park.... sorry ... couldn't resist.

    Active safety features?

    My current daily driver is a SL63 AMG Mercedes... It has most if not all of the safety features mentioned in this post. My other cars do not. If it were offered in the Tesla when I ordered mine... even if it were an option, I would have gladly purchase it. They have saved me many times over...

    Condo answer = NO

    Maybe contact your local air quality control district if you have one... ours in California is pretty active in helping ev owners... they even give you a check after you purchase an ev. Maybe they can put a little pressure on the condo board...
