I'm sorry I didn't see your post earlier. I would've been glad to sell it privately. On Monday I will receive the form and instructions for the transfer of title. I will post to announce when I send them the paperwork and how (snail mail or express).That should give an idea when it will be...

Papafox holds that title and his dog, iceman, holds the title of the very first dog! :)

For anyone interested in getting the car at auction, it's in Medford,NY (long island) through I.A.A. (Insurance auto auctions) I don't know when

My co-driver/navigator, Lita, is a native of Hawaii. I spend time there once a year when I can. I shipped the car from the west coast for a long winter break (a couple months) and then back. $1100 each way, $2200 total. About $35/day to have my own vehicle instead of paying more for a rental. A...

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your kind words.

Excellent point

No airbags deployed. Not one. If I learn where/when it will be auctioned for salvage, I'll share the information. 2013 S 85. Air ride suspension, sound system upgrade

Thanks. I take a high dose of blood thinner due to my mech heart valve, so even a minor injury gets amplified with bleeding. Even so, my spleen only has a tiny tear. Very painful, but it'll heal itself and it won't be removed. To be clear, the injury is so small, it's not 100% certain that it...

50 States in Model S Hi all, that's me in the article. And my Tesla, for one more day anyway. Sorry for not posting earlier about my accident. It happened August 27th. A person crossed the highway and hit me head on. My passenger and the other driver seemed to be ok (no broken bones, obvious...

Hi gang. I saw an ad for a contest yesterday. It was to win a trip to the Monterey car show and appear on the show, "Jay Leno's Garage". I entered by tweeting a pic of myself and my Tesla Model S 85 '13 in Hawaii and noted that the pic was from the end of the first ever 50 state tour in an...

correction, the twitter account is @lenosgarage.

I submitted this pic to twitter account @jaylenosgarage I noted that it was at the end of the first ever 50 state electric drive. Leno is having a contest for the most original/creative pic of someone's car, with the prize being an expenses paid trip for two to the Monterey car show in...

Trip part I, the North. summary.

reposting because it bears repeating. A real experience with suspension repair Suspension and safety

try this link for my blog about suspension type service on my 100,000 + mile, 2013 model S85 Suspension and safety I previously accidentally gave you a link to log in to wordpress

I was planning on sewing in a flap or two over mosquito screening "windows", but a/c might work, I'll test it on a hot day. and yes, most of my personal items are tucked away in the frunk

It's called"duck cloth". it feels like canvas. All cotton, so it breathes, but thick and tightly woven. I haven't tested the water repellent properties yet, nor the a/c retention

Check out my camper solution. I just built it today. Tesla pop up

Damn, your finish looks so much nicer than mine. Mine fell victim to some corrosive stuff falling off the ceiling in a parking garage. It made a bunch of pock marks in the paint. P.S. I'm going to do the lower 48 again this year (at least). Here's my blog: Fellowship of Tou-ring

Thanks Bighorn! Ya, for sure I'm in the century club now. I'll take an inventory and let you know about the additional ones, and a couple times over the course of the trip. I really appreciate that you added me to the Wiki.

here's some pics from the first ever tour of all 50 states in an electric vehicle, back in 2014. litalovestotravel.tumblr.com

Note: Peter, the man who made the trip in 2015, is known on the forum as "Papafox"

Thanks! Here's today's blog. Hitchhiker

I think this'll do. 50 States in an electric vehicle

Does anyone recommend a blog website? I'd like to start a blog. In 2014, Lita and I became the first to drive everwhere in the US in an electric car. In 2015, Peter from Hawaii and his dog, Iceman, became the second. Now, it's 2016, and to the best of my knowledge, no one else has picked up the...

I'm at 106k miles on my 2013 model s85. I'm having a bearing replaced on Thursday. I'm told that the battery pack must be removed to do the work. Just an FYI for anyone hoping to DIY

I have a couple dozen posts and you have over 5,000. Which one of us is posting every activity they have ever engaged in? :tongue: Mostly I'm glad electric transportation and charging is so prevalent that such a trip is becoming easier and easier. However, you're quite right. I can't prove a...

Thanks! - - - Updated - - - Thanks! - - - Updated - - - Hey! Skaneateles, NY! Hi neighbor! Herkimer, NY here. - - - Updated - - - That would be impressive! I've already been challenged to hit all 7 continents, I'll add it to the list. :)

I'm about 12,000 miles away from becoming the first member of the Tesla Strike Team - 50 states visited, 100 supercharger locations visited (and used), and 100,000 miles driven.

I was in Germany when the program started. I just got home. Too bad for me, I would've liked a model X. I'll gladly promote Tesla, as I always have. Hopefully after the promotion is over it will be continued for those of us who do it in good faith.

Hi all. Here's some pics from the trip: litalovestotravel.tumblr.com

Don't bother going for the Model X bonus for 10 referals. It's only for the first person who does it. As soon as I heard about this I got on the phone and I've already got it locked up and in the bag. Ten sales in one hour. Just kidding. I wish. I'm not even on the same continent as my car...

Hello. I'll be in Munich, Germany from July 27th to August 18th. I'll be flying out of JFK airport in NYC and could leave my 2013, 85 S there for an exchange. I have a little notoriety from being the first to drive an electric car to all 50 states. As an added bonus, I'll be staying at the...

I like the idea of removing heat from normal operation of a refrigerator during summer. I also like the idea of using a commercial heat exchanger. As you say jgs, the cost/energy savings might not be significant, however, it would be a useful item for people living with limited electrical...

@ JGS The tricky part is a 'door' that opens and closes because you want to turn the air exchange on and off. That way temperature control is maintained. I envision two small circular fans inside round duct, just outside the refrigerator. One for intake, one for outtake. They would become...

I haven't posted the details because if no one capable of producing such a thing is interested in the idea, I'm not going to go into minute detail for people just to look at and say "neat idea".

In the spirit of Tesla's commitment to improving society, I have an open source idea for any builders/businessmen out there: There's an old quip about a salesman being so good that he 'could sell ice cream to eskimos'. Oddly enough, that quote is 100% true. Every person who can afford a...

A had to look twice at the name tag of the cashier at Walmart today. The young woman's name is Tesla. Yes, Tesla. Naturally I was about as excited as I get. "Are your parents fans of the inventor?" I asked. "The Band," she said. She didn't seem thrilled about it.

What's all 4 routes? The interstates? I think of there being 5 interstate East West routes. 90, 80, 70, 40 and 10. I've done them all too many times to count, but as a trucker. I still have lots of gaps in my Tesla adventures, but I have an annual pass to all National parks now, so lookout...

Thanks Big! I reckon I'll join the century supercharger club (100 superchargers) and then stop keeping track. I've had my moment of glory already.
