    Model S performs flawlessly for me at a time of need - Atlanta snowmageddon 2014

    Another MS report from Atlanta. Took me 7 hours for 3.5 miles drive with slopes and curves. MS performed great. The best thing I enjoyed is the quietness in the car. I would be crazy suiting in a ICE car and the sound. I watched all pending shows on hulu and one movie.

    When would you let your kids plug in your car?

    My 3-years old twins connect the charger regularly and sometimes they may press the button on the cable couple of times but overall they know what exactly to do. My son shows more interest and now he knows what each light means and when to connect and disconnect.

    To Range Charge or not to Range Charge?

    I agree with you ElSupreme and I'm sure that the Tesla R&D folks got the degrees you were referring to, went through all the text books and created this wonderful product that I love it. All they need to do is to summarize their analysis and share the hypothesis in a language that my mom can...

    Electric bill change

    Hello ElSupreme, We have a very similar utility setup and monthly mileage rates (Just completed my first Model S month with 2500 miles). However I had this PEV ToU meter since late last Summer.

    Panoramic Roof - No Sun Shade Needed?

    I'm happy without the shade in South Georgia even in the mid-day when it is 80+ outside. Sometime the reflection in the center screen bothers me. That's all. Have to see when it is 95 or 100+ outside in the summer. Hope it should be fine.

    I'm from Atlanta and joined this group recently. I'm a Model S reservation holder (#5090 or somewhere in that range) and attended the "Get Amped Model S Tour" in LA this weekend. With limited 7 to 10 minutes drive and testing the features in the parked Model S..I love this one so far.
