Hello! I work for NHK, Japan's national news network and we are currently working on a report on year-end car sales. We are hoping to include Tesla in our report, and wanted to interview a Tesla owner as part of our section on Tesla. We are looking for an owner in the Los Angeles area who would...

Just came back from a 3-day roundtrip from LA to the Grand Canyon. It would have made more sense to wait a month for the Kingman and Flagstaff Superchargers but with Quartzsite coming online, I decided it was doable with conservative driving and a little bit of topping off at RV parks. Day 1...

I took my car into my local LA service center because my side mirror had gotten lose for some reason. While there, I talked to the service reps and they tell me that they are in the works of moving to a much MUCH bigger LA service station. Not sure when this will occur but for those people who...

Going down from Sacramento to a wedding at the Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City. Anyone know a hotel in the area with EV charging? Could always head down to Hawthorne to the supercharger if not. Thanks

Can you also post pricing as well. Thanks in advance!

Dear all, we had a false sense of security after reading this blog as we set off in our 60 kw battery Tesla for our first road trip from LA to Vegas. It appears that issues between Barstow and Vegas are very underrated, plus there is a belief that there is a 20 mile reserve beyond zero. This...

I want black but can settle for white. Open to other colors if the price is right. I only want tech and prefer 19" wheels. I haven't settled on which model yet. I'm open depending on the price. I will be contacting Tesla for loaners soon. I already have a quote from them for a loaner MS60 in...

Was watching NCIS Los Angeles (episode 104) tonight and noticed a familiar nose in a small section of the show when the are looking at a Cobra in the car garage. (left side of screen - about 20 minutes in)

Are there any? If anybody has any positive personal experience with a real seasoned pro detailer in the Los Angeles area, please advise? I am aware there may be a number of "good" wash & wax type detailers and possibly mobile, but I do not have a garage, only a carport. I need somebody with the...

I’ve been wanting to do this trip ever since I got my car back in February, but have been waiting for the Supercharger network to be built out some more. After the WA chargers debuted, I figured it was time, even though I knew it would be painful making it through northern California and Oregon...

SOLD. Thanks for you interest!

Hi, Might need a lot of work done upgrading the electricity for the new Tesla. Any recommendations for the South Bay area? Meter is on neighbor's unit about 80ft from the garage. I think only 100A currently going to my house :( Thanks!!

Hi TeslaClubLA members, We want to invite you to the next TeslaClubLA drive event. All are welcome including San Diego, Orange County, Santa Barbara, etc. This is a great way to meet fellow Tesla Owners and talk about the "tips an tricks" of owning such an amazing car ; ) When: Saturday...

I'm starting to think that paint armor might be a good idea. I've gone through most of the past threads about the armor and it sounds like the XPEL Ultimate is the way to go. But I'm still trying to find a recommendation for a good installer. (Apologies if this has already been covered -- I...

Has anybody in the greater LA area gotten their 2013 multi-coat red Tesla Model S yet? I am working on a photo shoot of electric vehicles, but my own Model S won't be available until mid-June 2013. Let me know if you're willing to let your MS (if not multi-coat red, then signature red, or...

Just got back from a trip from Davis, CA to Long Beach, CA. My first real test of the range… First, I will say… I made it! With that said, I must be doing something wrong. The range is not what I expected, and I am not sure how it can be made better reasonably. Here’s the story...

I hope this isn't out of line or against the rules! I know I just registered but I was referred to the forums by a personal acquaintance who suggested a Tesla Roadster would be an excellent choice for a photoshoot. I have a shoot coming up February 5th and would love to know how I can contact...

was heading up cahuenga just past the off-ramp and came upon a car with very familiar rear lights, got my attention because i thought "wow, did tm just copy the light design off this car???". but when pulling alongside realized it was actually a sexy model s, and in my same metallic grey no...

Now that I've had my Model S and have been driving it for some time, I've gotten to know it a little better. I was originally planning to take it to Phoenix for an upcoming trip, but I've come to realize that this would become a rather involved, full day trip and it wouldn't make sense for me to...

I am a new Roadster owner in Los Angeles and want to know if there is an L.A. group that meets up. I have never had so much fun driving and I am sure the rest of you feel the same way. I don't even want to work anymore, all I want to do is drive my Tesla! Looking forward to meeting fellow...

Has anyone tried both the Standard and the time of use services for LA DW&P? I have to wire up my new home for the roadster and looking at the rate options it seams like you could easily endup paying more for the Time-of-use metering. According to the LDW&P website I have 2 options for the...
