    Key Security Issue

On returning to the car my wife mistook our vehicle for another that was charging. As she approached this (wrong) car it auto presented its...

    Mount Evans Road Trip - July 30th or 31st

    Exactly - the trip i took was the longest I've done so far (car is only few weeks old and I've been out of the country for a couple of weeks) and i was impressed with the regen - the return trip from Mt Evans to Boulder took only a few miles out of the battery.

    Mount Evans Road Trip - July 30th or 31st

    Yes, i saw you driving a couple of weeks ago. Our cars are almost identical - I'm sure you are enjoying it just as much as I am. Boulder makes me smile - there were 3 Teslas in a line of 7 or 8 cars yesterday as i was driving to work. We're not exactly a rare sighting here!

    Mount Evans Road Trip - July 30th or 31st

    I had similar concerns about doing the round trip from Boulder (where i live) to top of Mount Evans and back. I set off with 230 rated miles available and was concerned that the car suggested it would only leave 42% of available miles for the return journey. As it happened the return journey to...

    A little drive up Mt Evans - highest paved road in the US

    I don't think so. The road was pretty rough in a couple of spots near the lake. Was planning to take the car a little ways up and cycle the rest (had 2 road bikes in the back of the car) but decided against the cycling after seeing the road quality and, more importantly, the volume of cars.

    A little drive up Mt Evans - highest paved road in the US

    Took Sam the Tesla up Mt Evans earlier today. Super easy drive in the new MS 70D although a little crowded on the road. Even with serious incline almost all the way out to the top of the mountain (approx 80 miles from home. 160 miles round trip) the car still showed approx 110 miles range...

    I really like the color combo, for me the dark headliner works well in the overall color scheme

    Picked up new 70D yesterday - Looking great!

    Thx Beryl Good to know about the CHAdeMOs. I guess im gonna need an adaptor? Im also in Boulder. Seems to be quite a few Teslas here. Definitely not a rare sighting. I havent seen a facelifted model so far though so perhaps thats just me for the minute...

    Picked up new 70D yesterday - Looking great!

    Picked up my S70D yesterday. Midnight silver, tan interior. Love the combination. The car is called Sam after my father who passed last year. He was an engineer and I'm disappointed that he can't experience this modern marvel of engineering for himself. However, I'm absolutely sure he would...

    Thx Finout Unless something better becomes available inwill also likely get the Blackvue dashcam. Seems to be the cam of choice for an MS. Does the cam work while the car is off and youre away from it (parked at the mall for instance)? Do you find the video quality to be acceptable? I will...

    Professional Dash Cam Installation in Metro Denver?

    Hi Finout I will be looking to get a dashcam fitted to my MS 70D later this year. Did you go ahead and get a dash cam fitted? Did you use a local (Colorado) company for the installation? I would be looking to use a company in the Denver metro area also. Interested in any advice/comments you...

    New Tesla Model S Lease as of 5/1/16

    I was also planning to lease but now I'm reviewing my options. Can anyone tell me what the latest position is regrading the 'guaranteed buyback'? Does this mean that, after 3 years (or later) I can simply have Tesla buy my car back at a pre-agreed rate? This would essentially make purchase look...

    New Tesla Model S Lease as of 5/1/16

    Yes, i am in the process of deciding what i want to order and my current preferred design is now showing as close to $100 more per month. Very dissapointing? Why has the price increased ? i know there was a promotion running but I thought that it finished in March?

    Questions for Colorado Tesla owners

    Sandy thx for that. I think Salida is a key location since its sort of the gateway to the southwest part of the state. I pass through or near Salida often so would be good to know which charging options work well. Good luck with your trip - i look forward to hearing how it went Thx, Brian
