Update: The Colorado PUC has granted a waiver for a Tesla limo license. This is a one time one person waiver. It is not a rule change which means Tesla is still not an "executive car" in Colorado.

You're welcome- I'm still digging and with this quote from the Colorado DMV "Fees are established by the legislature or promulgated in rule." it seems there is nothing to stop a new rule being written by a commission to charge more for luxury cars (beyond the % of purchase/list price) but that...

"Fees to title and register vehicles in the State of Colorado are based on age of the vehicle, weight, taxable value, purchase date, and type of plate requested. Estimates for registration fees are not provided over the phone. Some counties provide information on their website. Once you have...

Auto Dealers' Fight Against Tesla Stores: Elon Musk Weighs In

No complaints about the rear seat. AC has yet to be an issue in Colorado as it snowed last night.

Here's the list of approved vehicles- and only those on the list. A BMW 3 series with 4 doors would likely qualify as a sedan manufactured by BMW (I have a 1988 325ix which is still eating road for breakfast- love it) (A)a sedan, crossover, or sport utility vehicle manufactured by: Acura...

Sure.... all nice cars Chrysler 300, Hyundai Equus, Saab 9-5, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Excursion, Ford Expedition, GMC Yukon, Hummer However my best guess as to why it's those cars and not a Tesla - and mind you it's only a guess- only an opinion- no proof- all conjecture- is...

I'm trying to Uber my Model S in Colorado but I've run into a major problem- Tesla isn't on the list of manufacturers for a limo license. To up to UberBlack (no UberSelect available in my area) I need the limo license and that takes a rule change at the State level. I need some petition...

Well, the petition is up to 52 signatures which I'm told is in the top 15% for change.org petitions .... step by step....

Wanna help? Please sign the petition... Department of Regulatory : Approve Tesla as a Luxury Car in Colorado

Ah shucks, I'm just trying to do this on my own... so far....

We're in the "appeal" stage.. or should I say "appeal phase 1".

According to the regs a Hyundai is a luxury vehicle and a Tesla isn't. Seriously? The only specification in the Colorado rule is cup holders which are part of the car's original manufacture- and the S qualifies with 2 cup holders in the console. Interestingly my 1988 325ix has no cup holders...

Come to the West Slope- so far they're always available in Silverthorne, Glenwood and Junction. Seriously, I'm upgrading my home solar system to support the amount of driving I do as a livery service so you have nothing to worry about. According to Plugshare there are over 20 charging stations...

It is my wallet- UberX pays $6 an hour in Aspen, Limousines make $90 an hour.

Oh it's qualified for UberSelect, but UberSelect isn't available in Aspen. That means if you request an Uber on the app in Aspen your choices are UberX, UberXL and UberBlack. That's a whole 'nother issue with Uber...

Well, lookie here... http://teslacarfinder.com/chauffeur-services/

I shouldn't be the one to presume the intent ... all possible arguments are welcome.

Liking this one too.... more better.

That's what I'm talkin' about.....

No, just the listed manufacturers in the rule....

Luxury Limousine Features. (a) In addition to compliance with the safety rules, each luxury limousine carrier shall otherwise ensure that its motor vehicles are in good physical condition. The Commission shall use the following guidelines in determining if a vehicle is in good physical...

I've tried to get this nailed down without success. "A luxury limousine is defined in § 40-10.1-301(7), C.R.S., as “a chauffeur-driven, luxury motor vehicle as defined by the commission by rule.” and the rule is the manufacturer.

Yes, that's the obvious argument. I thought it would be obvious, I was wrong. I'm looking for ammunition from independent sources why Tesla should be considered a luxury vehicle.

So, I'm trying to get a luxury limo license for my Model S in Colorado and Tesla is not listed as a manufacturer of luxury cars in this State. I need to "prove" it's a luxury vehicle and petition for a "rule making" from the Public Utilities Commission. To that end- any links or evidence which...

Thanks brkaus

Just started an Uber Tesla in Aspen - and blogging it. Climate-CAB | Your Tesla Taxi in Aspen

Aspen is planning to install a DC fast charger in the parking garage as part of their "Canary Initiative". DC Fast Charger National Car Charging What are the issues with charging a Tesla on this system?

Has anyone come up with a solution to this?

Thanks much...

Is there any way to add an app to the touchscreen?

Looking for a simple formula? New/Used Model S owner here.. and this board certainly helps smooth the learning curve... thank you all. I still have a big stooopid grin whenever I get in the car.... Is there an app or form where you could type in your battery type, your commute, your charger...
