Hi Folks, This Saturday, Dec 7, I am hosting a Lunch at my house for any and all members of Gary's EV Breakfast club on this thread. TIME: The nominal times are 11 AM to 1:30 pm, but we could run longer. LOCATION: I live in Claremont, not far from the Town exit of I-210. From Orange...

Gary, go to thetollroads.com Click on Create Account. You put your credit card on file. They send you the smart passive sticker. You place the sticker on your front windshield. You now are enrolled in FasTrak, which is universal for all toll roads and bridges in CA. Formerly there was a monthly...

Wow, thanks for your report. I am sorry growth of DCFC other than Tesla is still painfully slow. I have friends who own Bolts who have never ventured out of town, no farther than their garage charge can take them and still get home. They just are unwilling to trust existing public...

I just received and installed my new Fastrak sticker passive transponder, which upgrades my OC Tollroads account to full Fastrak, so I am good to go for any toll road or bridge in the state. No monthly fee. I will be at breakfast tomorrow.

I will be at Golden Coral tomorrow, the 13th with my 2-week old Blue 2018 100D M-S. Lots of little differences from my 2013, most of them good. Amazing discounts from the Dec 2018 prices. I paid to enable Full Self Driving so that I will be in the queue for the free retrofit to get the new...

I saw "Apollo 11" at the theater last night. It is an amazing feel good experience based upon a trove of newly discovered 70mm footage never seen before, together with a very well edited and synchronized soundtrack. No 70mm on the Moon of course, but high quality stills and film footage that...

There have been some delays, but my remodel is almost done. Looking forward to hosting a get together of you all sometime soon to show it off.

I like December 26 idea.

I welcome the efforts of folks on this thread. Along 395 I believe there still is no public J-1772 Between Hesperia on the South and Garnerville on the North. My first EV drive up 395 4 years ago, before Tesla Superchargers at Inyokern, Mammoth Lakes, Topaz Lake, or Reno, utilized the very...

EV Trip report to Santa Barbara 3 days, 2 nights. Even with all the latest SC construction, lack of Supercharger in immediate SB area complicated trip. Gap between Oxnard and Buelton. Day 1 Lunch at Reagan Library. Great view, decent salad. Charged at new (for me) SC at Thousand Oaks -...

More on Tesla Auto Pilot 2 (AP2) based on Elon's 2nQ Earnings call a few days ago, using tips from last Saturday's breakfast: AP2 V9 SW coming "soon" a few weeks, will be big advance, but SW only. AP2 Hardware announced during call, now in advance test, will ship in every car some time in 2019...
