Also check the county building department. They might even let you review the drawings & specs documents. By all means, keep us informed.

Great approach to the 5th-wheel/gooseneck trailer towing question. Thanks for breaking it down for us. You've got an excellent analytical mind. I agree with your analysis, with only one question remaining in my mind. Tesla's Cybertruck web pages feature a photo of what appears to be towing a...

Not to mention the inner top edge of those sides appear to be the mounting surfaces for the tracks that guide the retractable tonneau cover.

Hmm. I can believe that scenario. Might be a difference between flat glass and curved glass. Thinking about those old hydro-dam structures, which are curved toward the forces, putting the structure in compression. Any certified engineers care to chip in?

There's only one issue I can see with pulling an RV with the Cybrtrck and it's only relevant to 5th-wheel style trailers. The high sides of the vault will hit the trailer during radical turning, or backing into a campsite. Not sure because of my lack of experience, but maybe a gooseneck-style...

Ohh, Yes! The stealth factor! Does this mean it'll blast thru radar speed-traps too? :cool:

It's 277 VAC. Everyone knows this is 3-phase, right?

Having a low-range option for places like Elephant Hill in Canyonlands NP could be helpful but not sure it'd be needed (maybe if I was towing a Falcon 9 rocket). I doubt I'll be off-roading in it though, mainly because it's too wide to get through some of those routes. I see myself (and our...

The glass didn't give way, it remained in place. Any ICE-ragers who break MY window will likely be facing my .40 anyway.

In addition, the car companies will have to fight the oil industry - the teat that fuels them.

IIRC, neutrals are only used to get 120VAC out of 240VAC. My apprenticeship memories are fading from lack of use.

Are slingshots and paintballs available? A no-harm-done option. Hmmm. If you get accurate enough, maybe the sheep could sport rainbow colors in case Pence returns ;^)

How about the car activating a friendly voice - stating an infomercial about 'dog mode', what the interior temperature is, and that the dog is safe. Followed up by a warning that continued peering into this car may indicate a criminal prowl and that local law enforcement may be called. [What...

I think I met her at the register in the PetsMart in Issaquah WA. I tried my best to explain 'dog mode', but all she wanted to do is yell that "...it's against the law to leave your pets in the car!" while the cashier kept rolling his eyes at her. Still, I won't fault her for caring.

+1 on the Plugshare map. Off-topic - Mods move as req - They have a phone app that displays the map, including charging stations near your location. The icons on their phone map provide details about the stations including: type of connection hardware, if it's free or not, how many and whether...

Don't know who owns it, but this M3 I saw in Kirkland Washington really was spectacular! Check the plate...

Yes, we're taking our MS90D to the Golden Colorado event. This car shows the real-world effects of everyday commuting in it. We'll even bring our dogs (and all their hair) and the Napier 61500 hatchback tent.

Until Auburn is open, you can use the free ChaDeMo outside of the ChocMo restaurant in Paulsbo. This was the state of construction at Auburn around 8/3/2019

I agree the phone access is nowhere near up to par. I mentioned this major issue on my last in-person visit and the service writer agreed and suggested I email him. Not going to expect immediate response but it's one more path worth exploring. Drop by and express your comments to the staff so...

Just a quick post to say my experiences at the Tesla Service Center in Littleton Colorado have all been positive. Tony, Anthony, Jason, Kristina, (including those whose names I fail to record) have each been helpful with getting the work done. Thanks to you all. Now. If we can defeat the FUD...

This is the one we use. The best feature is the 2 zippers on the front part. These allow us to hook it onto the front seat headrests and leave the center hang down, which allows the cool air coming from the vent in the MS center console to help keep the back cool. Plush Paws Products®...

We take our fur-kids most everywhere, but they really love road-tripping. Molly (the gordon setter) and Jake (the golden) know they'll be getting a potty break when they hear the word SUPERCHARGER!

Hmmm. How to get a meeting with Elon? Might help a great deal if you resemble Amber Heard...lol

We're planning a 4600 mile road trip from CO to Fremont, then up the coast to WA and return. We try to charge up before stopping overnight, so we rarely use destination chargers but in those rare situations, we can gauge an approximate time to complete charging, and will reliably move 'Joules'...

Thought of carrying my sig on my west coast trip but don't like any waistband options bc I suspect the seat belt would interfere with a clean draw. Got a shoulder rig on order as 'Plan A'. The nanovault also seems like a good 'Plan B' option but that cable is so thin, I'd hesitate leaving it in...

Knowing where police stations are along your normal route may actually save your life one day. I had a similar sitch happen in Chicago. I drove right up to the doors of the nearest police station, then laughed watching the angry cabbie peel out as if I was the chief of police or the mayor ;^)...

I agree that most Superchargers I've visited aren't 'drive thru' (Seaside Oregon is). However, potential EV pickup drivers pulling RVs could use either the 30A or the 50A power sources available at most campgrounds (one for the RV, one for the truck). We charge our MS at home on a 32A circuit...

True enough - unless you installed an LB on a stub beneath the charger (with the LB outlet facing the rear). Thinking it thru, the very tight EMT bend that would be required inside the wall would make it nearly impossible. I'm not aware of any other UL fittings that might apply here, but then...

Been awaiting fresh commentary on the corrupting influence of "corporate campaign contributions" and I'm a bit disappointed it hasn't come up in this latest round of expressions, so I thought I'd open up that can of worms. That fateful decision by Justice Robert's court will have long and...

Excellent trip report! Thanks for taking the time to offer so much detail :D If you decide to make this trip again, Be aware that there is a J1772 charging station (not free) at Cascade Market in Castle Rock WA at 204 W. Cowlitz Ave. You'll need an adapter for your mobile cord (my CPO MS came...

Cancel this RFI. In case there are TMC users interested in camping in their Tesla, I found a 61500 product review on Amazon by a T. Mackay who wrote up a glowing report and even offered several pictures of his red Model S wearing the Napier Sportz Cove 61500. Better still, Amazon's price...

Has anyone tried one of the Napier Sportz Cove hatch tents? I'm going to try one but not sure which size I'd need - 61000 (small-to-mid) or 61500 (mid-to-large).

There is one among the leaders of the free world that may have (re)discovered an ugly solution - the orange one: Trump and Bolton: Two fat heads with itchy trigger fingers and 120,000 troops

Umm... Is this "hockey parent" famously known for his portrait of him sitting on the porcelain throne?

You've described perfectly where the true fraud is. I find this detrimental effect of WSJ's ongoing effort to destroy #TSLA's SP is sickening. Still, it goes under the SEC radar. All the time SEC spends hanging on his every tweet is wasted. The current SEC leadership is but one small example of...

Weekend humor (tongue-in-cheek) Attach Boring Co flamethrowers to front and rear of Teslas to 'generate spacial motivation' in the minds of those other drivers?

Until we citizens demand a government that effectively addresses income inequality, the 'have nots' will continue to steal from the 'haves'. You'd think the Insurance Corps would be lobbying for this but, no, I see them simply passing their costs down to the law-abiding citizens among us...

A better question IMO would be: Does the judge vacate the original settlement and demand the SEC RETURN THE $40,000,000? :eek:

Sounds wonderful. A road trip's the best way to learn everything about your new ride :D If possible, avoid rush hour in that horrible I-80/I-90/I-94 mess around Gary. The semi-jockeys are abso nuts around there. Stay safe, but enjoy it!

Well done (and glad you made it back thru the blizzard)! That Utah trip is a favorite of ours. Last time was last century in an RV so it wasn't cheap (sadly, lots of gas burned). If my SO can get the time off, we'll do it again soon in our MS. Now we're anxiously awaiting your report on that trip!

Hmmm. No engine required. With a cab-forward design, we could have a comfortable crew-cab for 5 or 6 - AND - the ability to carry full 4x8-foot sheets of material.

For 100 TSLA shares, I'd damn well give it a try ;^)

Weekend - New Product Speculation OK, I'll put in my $0.02. Imagine, in your minds eye, this view is the left-rear quarter of Elon's futuristic pickup. The white light shown isn't a headlight or running light. It's his new 1.2 Jiggawatt PowerPack glowing white hot, seen from underneath a...

After Hours Humor: I've read here that Elon Musk will not advertise Tesla. As a TSLA-long investor, I'm ok with that. I must note that, IMO, Product Placement is vastly superior, at least in the sense of emotive response. When we watch a movie that has a Tesla immediately recognizable, my...

ON Topic U. S. Lawmakers need to force ANY officials that hold regulatory authority, to submit MONTHLY financial statements to Congress, specifically detailing any brib --- I mean --- "tips" recieved! This action - might - reduce flagrant corruption in government. [edited for readability]

Weekend OT Thinking of model letters for the next Tesla vehicles... Model S > Model X > Model 3 > Model Y S - 3 - X - Y .... A - F Resonates somehow, doesn't it?

OT Simple solution. Just sell Tesla merchandise. I'd buy a new hat there ;)

True. Just be sure it's UL-rated 3R minimum. A weatherproof enclosure is required by NEC code when installed in an outdoor location. [Edited - spelling]

Thanks to everyone informing me that CNBC[FUD-masters] continues to put out bull*sugar*. You're all making me really happy I cut the cable years ago. Yeah. So. Since then, all my free time is taken up trying to keep up with this thread!

I'd be very pleased if Tesla would offer to come to our home with a car to test drive. I imagine this experience would be very helpful in the decision-making process. Hell, I'd even buy lunch (at a SuperCharger, of course). OK? Try to imagine what this experience would be like for yourselves...
