Well, I dropped off a new one! I'd mis-identified the one I left last week, d'oh (sent you an email about it...got confused by the S name and that one wasn't on the list so I used one that was kind of close without realizing it). Oddly someone had MOVED that one, but not taken it. I retrieved...

Nope. No movement in ages. I stopped in last week and the youngling at the counter seemed to think October. I have no idea how reliable that statement was though. That said, everything including the landscaping looks good now...just no pedestals.

What a bunch of idiotic claptrap. I reads like "women only want" "women can't think for themselves" "women think Elon is yucky" "women can't appreciate technology they just want practical". Good thing "women" can buy what they want with their own money. Good thing it's 2019 and not 1920...

There had been a bunch of little white flags that looked like tag-outs for an inspection. They are gone now and the landscaping has advanced. Per above, it really does look like all they need are the pedestals. It's not like I NEED the supercharger (as I live a hair over a mile away) but it...

I just drove by there, nothing impressive since the last post...except maybe they have done some shrubbery additions (so they must be getting closer). Earlier in the week I'd seen some little white flags that looked like markers--maybe some tag outs? Didn't see them today so hopefully that...

I just stopped by. The gal at the register said 'end of June'. One of the dudes doing the work said 'end of July'. All I know is that 6/7 date I was given...whether June 7th or 6 July are both kind of unlikely. There is definite progress and looks to be 8 slots. The white boxes had been...

This should take you (or your wife) to the right page. It's a public group. Log into Facebook | Facebook Tesla Owner's Group of Southwest Virginia

I live about a mile away and go by it frequently, the crossroad leads up to the high school. Plus a Mexican place (the Chinese one in the little mall right next to the Urgent Care is kind of sucky though). Alessandros is pretty decent. It's not the 'cute' part of town, but easy in/out. Are...

They didn't SPECIFICALLY say Tesla...but still.

I went in later and according to the young lady at the counter it is definitely for superchargers and there were some Teslas there a week prior and she got to drive one. That said, she may have been mistaken...I'll swing by there tomorrow (well later today) and check. I will be profoundly...

If something egregious were to happen well, then the Sheriff can go knock on the owner's door and ask who was driving the car at that time. I very recently was passed by an idiot on a motorcycle who had to be doing about 90. Shortly thereafter the entire highway was closed after a car 'swerved...

I confess I did not understand when people complained of the turn stalk. Now I know why...I've been driving a BMW for the last 8 years (which by the way feels like a total slug when I drive it now, and it used to be my 'dream car'). Turn signal is fine for me, but now I understand why others...

That was an odd survey. Oh well, just went with gut responses...sometimes thinking the car, sometimes the company, sometimes the customer.

After getting a new wifi set up at home a couple weeks ago (that can reach my car outside) I finally went from 44 to 50.5 last night. The fart machine works and I got try it out on someone already. Can't wait for the Y chromosomes in the house to get in the car next. :D. I guess I should...

Still on 44....sigh. I want to have a farting car. (Please understand I am in a home surrounded by males...farting is hilarious).

I'm pretty sure he's fine skill wise, but I would prefer the warranty and who knows, he might learn some new detail or other in the class. It's only a few weeks, and honestly I'll still be out wiping off the poop with or without the ceramic.

The neighbors might get fussy with me...and I'd have to check the city ordinance. Hmm.. edited to add: Just checked and that's a big nope in my town. Bummer. Which is why I guess we called Animal Control that time the guilty dog pictured to the left ALMOST killed a skunk in our backyard...

That's why I'm getting the bird poop daily--well often more than once daily depending the bird's pooping mood. I'd love to do it sooner but timing is tough for me. The 'guy' I plan to have do it is already using GTechinq but I'd rather wait until he finishes the last step of his certification...

That's a great idea! And I am...but I do it as soon as I can so it doesn't hurt the paint.

Sadly I don't have a garage to use and my charging site happens to be close to some electric wires/bird holiday spot. I can park to avoid most of it but have a pretty much daily experience of cleaning up some bird poop. I try and get it first thing in the morning and then whenever I see it...

Well, depending on where you live this could be easily just the fact it's now cold. My electric bill and gas bill swap which is largest depending on the time of year. We use the electricity for the AC and natural gas for the heat (old house/radiators). I can just as easily say 'Oh look, my...

I flipped through a lot of manual, but mostly look at it specifically for something I want to know. Not a full front to back...especially as I didn't get the EAP. I caved to some luddite tendencies and had a pdf to print done and have a copy to stick in my bathroom for light reading.

Service Center in Richmond would not deliver it without the sticker. It could be there is no '...an employee who customarily performs such inspection'. Weird though because getting it delivered without the inspection sticker was not an option.

Dyna Girl. If I'd gotten a red one (very temptig) it would have been Reddy Kilowatt, of which a variant spelling is still available in my state.

A 2011 Camry sounds like a nice gift car. Get yourself the Tesla. I would not give it to a new driver right away. Everyone should learn to drive on a manual in my book (my poor children learn on a Ford Fiesta stick shift).

I'd tell Tesla so they could hire the guy. Personally I think Tesla could totally leverage it's supercharger network with other automakers. They want to go electric too? Who has all infrastructure to go across country? IIRC Tesla tried to get others to play back in the beginning...after all...

When I picked up my car the service center specifically told me they 'took it up to 90%' as I'd requested--it was a long drive home. They said they 'normally' did 80%. So, perhaps not an official default but it sounds like the service centers had a setting they typically use. Of course this...

Dyna Girl's plate...speaks more to my inner Trek nerd, after all she is my transporter!

In this little corner of southwest VA, my town of roughly 28,000 has four Teslas that I know of...possibly a fifth as I'm not sure the 'red S guy' is actually from inside the town vs. the surrounding county/nearby larger city. I get quite a few stares. Oh, and one of the four may only be...

I would change 'commuter' to 'daily driver'. I only commute sometimes but drive it all the time. And not just on weekends. Also, I had to choose 'other' for reason to purchase. It was because I wanted a non-ICE car that had the range I need for my work schedule (I have one 180 mile each way...

I went into the closest Chevy to see what a Bolt looked like...not only did they not have one, they said they would never sell a Bolt or Volt, would never service one, and if I wanted one I'd have to drive to a dealership 60 miles away. Turns out they were lying and the next closest dealer had...

I would worry about a blood clot doing this...it is important to move around a bit! Anecdote--my mother did this once and did indeed have a clot. It did not turn into a pulmonary embolism, but it's a risk.

I picked up in Richmond, VA, so perhaps that was south enough. Or, the car cleared Chicago in the knick of time (though it did get held an extra day on it's truck in Baltimore apparently). I haven't taken him for a ride yet. He generally hates going in a car so I haven't made him go yet. I...

Still waiting??? Yikes. I saw on another forum there is some big hold up in Chicago...but I didn't keep reading but if I see it again I'll link. I also saw a picture of a semi that caught fire and had at least one partially melted Tesla on the back. Somewhere, somehow, someone is missing...

@chojn1 Just stumbled on this thread--awesome ideas and execution. I sent an email via the website contact email, but in case I need to add here too...please add me to the list for the full sized sunglass insert, two cup holder inserts, and a bin. Looks like some great progress getting made...

Not everyone is a waver. Sadly I live in a wasteland of electric cars...I have no idea what the few other Tesla owners think. Personally I get very excited when I see them...there are two others that I know of in my town (one is a 3), plus another handful in the whole region. I will wave like...

double post glitch somehow. ooops.

12 on the odometer, though the default 50 was noted on the paperwork.

Purely anecdotal, mine just delivered a little over a week ago has VIN 94,XXX, is an October build, and as far as I see, perfect paint. I did not get a microscope out to examine it. I did not run my fingers over every surface. The parts inside the doors/door wells are fully painted up. My...

Just ordered this one, speaks to my inner Trek geek too.

A late edit not allowed. I added my response to the poll above. No issues with the car. My delivery date did get pushed back 1 day because the transport was delayed in Maryland by a day. Again, they were very sensitive to my long drive, and made sure I knew as soon as they could that they...

It hurts to be on the receiving end of the 'growing pains'! Having a weird, inflexible, schedule plus a 175 mile drive to get the car, I totally feared your experience (thankfully my delivery was flawless, but it's a lower volume place and had excellent staff and communication and called me...

I took my checkbook on a whim thinking I'd do the ACH at the delivery but at least my tracking and account numbers would be handy. They were happy to take my check. Depending on if it's a push/pull from my credit union account I do have a daily limit ($5K if I initiate, much higher if it's...

I was assigned my VIN on 9 October. The car's build date is 10/2018. The VIN is 94,xxx. There are contemporary cars being delivered with higher VINs, but the numbers are not sequentially assigned. I was given my delivery date/time a few hours before I saw the VIN (it showed up a few hours...

I forgot to update this thread (there are a few I've posted on scattered about the interwebs)...the transport was a day late, and I ended up picking up yesterday. The car was nearly flawless. I had to wipe three water spots off a light and there was a trace of sticky film on the 'T' on the...

Delivered today. Handed them the draft from my credit union and a personal check. I was surprised by the latter, I'd expected to have to do an ACH, which was fine. However, I was just as happy to not log onto my account while there. A check was easier. I signed the paperwork electronically...

Just did my pick up today and it was easy and smooth. I had to do a rental car to get there and they had a driver follow me...until I got mixed up even with GPS at which point he took the lead and I followed HIM to the car rental place. Had over 2.5 hrs to drive home and as far as I can see...

Well, today was the day. Yesterday was the initial plan, but the carrier was delayed in Maryland an extra night. That meant my ride got changed into a one way car rental, but a minor inconvenience. In fact, once I did the paperwork the service center sent a guy behind me to the rental place...

I had to turn down a delivery at the end of August due to unavoidable travel. Next offer is for tomorrow--but just called back to push back another day as the car carrier is apparently in Maryland an extra day.

My delivery for tomorrow has been pushed back at least a day. The transport truck is in Maryland and apparently my car decided to stop for some Maryland crabs. Don't blame it, I would too. The car MIGHT come in tonight (Richmond, VA) 'and they could rush for tomorrow' but I told them I'd...
