Unable to get full version of site on iPad I am enjoying my new iPad quite a bit, but cannot figure out how NOT to get the mobile version on the iPad Safari browser. Am I missing something, or is it not possible to get the full version on a mobile device like the iPad? Thanks, Jay

But wait! Aptera raises $9.8 million: Aptera Raises $9.8M | socalTECH.com Maybe the toast isn't quite done. :cool: Still going to reserve a Leaf though... Jay

Yes, I'm actually very early on the wait list... :wink: Seriously, it does sound like he will be adding one to his stable. Oh, to own that garage! Jay (the "other one")

Aptera on Jay Leno's Garage "Finally, a cool looking electric car!" Jay Leno's Garage Very positive bit on the Aptera 2e... Jay

Price The Daily Mail article mentions a 100,000GBP price, so the Tribune probably just converted that to dollars, hence the $147,000 price quoted... Jay

Tango Snowplow New uses for the Tango: tango snowplow - Google Video

Unless there's something totally crazy going on with the color representation, that's a custom color... I saw a Racing Green there about 6 weeks ago and it's much darker. Jay

I was sold on the Racing Green from some pictures, but got to see it in person and didn't like it quite as much as some other Racing Greens I've seen (including the TR6 I have). It's still a very nice color though and seems to be a pretty rare choice. I ended up picking Twilight Blue w/ all...

Something's gone funky with this thread for me - I can't see any of the new posts past Graham's last night. I can see them when replying though - I'm guessing tomsax had the same problem? Jay ...and miraculously, there is now a page 10 to go to. Back to our originally scheduled programming!

The last sentence of the Autoweek article is probably the biggest news: "It also announced this morning it had received $40 million in new financing to accelerate production of the Tesla Roadster." Jay

I was in earlier in the week to have a final look at colors and counted about 30 total between the main service floor, outside, and back service bay. I should have paid more attention to the tags on the cars - the highest number I remember is 39, which would be 66 total (assuming 27 Founders'...

Pure rumor, but: Rumormonger: Tesla said to lay off 100

Saw a Very Orange on Foothill around 7:15pm. It did a u-turn at Arastradero and headed back south. Jay

Hi Graham, Extrapolating from a recent email exchange I had with TM, your car is likely scheduled for early March production, and the balance is due 3 months prior to that. I'd expect right around December 1 for you - I'm around the 15th at slot 513 (and "mid-March" production)... Delivery is...

Me too, though I have 22 days. I asked for an update on my production slot just this week and it had moved up to the low 500's. I also asked about when the balance is due, and that is 3 months prior to production, which is scheduled in March. So you may still have another couple of months... I'm...

I just got that email too. I'm wondering if this is a prelude to a bunch of color selection kits being sent out... Jay

I self-installed a 3kW system 3 years ago in anticipation of an EV too... May double that at some point when it makes sense. Jay

You got me right... :cool: Jay

This was something I meant to ask about at the Menlo Park dealership on Saturday. I'd like to know more about what the "premium" stereo upgrade entails and what the standard package is, especially speaker-wise (how many and where). I'm not interested in the JVC unit and will just upgrade the...

Thanks, Doug! I appreciate the organizational effort. It was fun to get together and also to pick up a few tidbits of new info. And of course look at some more cars... Jay

Here's my submittal: Dear Chairman Nichols, I am writing in support of Tesla Motor's recent communication. As a Californian and soon-to-be owner of two California-manufactured fully electric vehicles, the Tesla Roadster and Aptera Typ-1e, I find it hard to believe that we are...

Wow! About time for me to stop by again, methinks... Very promising to see things picking up - substantially. Jay

Graham, The $5K is for the clear-coated carbon fiber top, for lack of a better term. I imagine it would look pretty cool... Jay Whoa, how did two of you beat me to it?

Agreed with all the people wanting the best color match - that is the one thing that gives me pause about skipping it. However, I do hold out hope that the carbon fiber top would someday be available in the US. Now what it will cost is another question... :eek: Jay

I'm considering it. I'd like to have a test drive with the soft top on to see about wind noise and likelihood of leaking before making a final decision. Of course some user reviews would help too! Jay

I guess I'm sort of contradicting myself, but I test drove VP13 about a month ago and it did not have the 1.5 drivetrain in it. I'd forgotten about that caption and did not ask about it at the time... Jay

Somehow missed this one - I'd gladly show up... Jay

Martin has his car - check out his blog at Tesla Founders Blog Looks fantastic! Jay

Me too - probably more on the later side as I hear there are hors d'oevres and a band... Jay

The improved numbers jibe with a recent Twitter from Darryl: "looking at the data for next gen powertrain for tesla. Very impressive results! about 5 hours ago from twhirl" Jay

Some new stuff and some making a reappearance in the new Media Center: Tesla Motors - Media Coverage Jay

Perhaps Darryl means "solid" (non-metallic). I've seen that on the TT myself... Jay

And the VP13 arrival begs the question - where is VP12? I haven't run across any information about it... Jay

Sorry - you are correct. I logged out and got a different looking page. Didn't realize even the "home page" was linked... Jay

Vp13 There's a note about the arrival of VP13 on the "Tesla owner's" home page. It is dedicated to fine tuning of drivetrain 1.5... And for Tony, it's Very Orange. Quite a few pictures in the "insider gallery" too... Jay

Well, here's what I think WhiteStar came from: White Star - The Babylon Project - a Wikia wiki It is compatible with the scifi theme... Jay

San Jose Mercury article here: http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_8149186 There is also a short video associated with the story. Jay

I figured that was the two speed considering the looks on their faces... :tongue: Jay

VP11 arrived mid-January according to the "insiders gallery" caption... Jay
