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 will be at Golden Corral tomorrow Jan 5. I have Tesla 2018.48.12.1 I have had to re-boot the car about once/week ever since I got first Ver 9.0 several months ago. Seeing more other new EVs at Level 2 charging at Whole Foods. Last one was an Audi.

I just installed received and installed Version 9.0. I have not tried any new features yet. To Gary and Gene: I had previously reported that my Cat6 cable in my new sealed wall could not pass signal although it passed continuity tests on all 8 pins. After replacing connectors on both ends, I...

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...

Re: the Martinson Model 3 Route. I should be back from my trip, but getting to San Clemente at 8:30am on Tuesday July 31 would be a terrible ordeal for me. However it looks like Temecula later the same day might be feasible, and much easier for me. Boomer, did you get time for your proposed...

With the special event Tues the 31 and the previous special event Sat the 14th, how many of us are coming to regular event tomorrow, Sat 21, in Santa Ana? I would like to come if turnout will be normal or above. Next Tuesday, July 24, I am leaving town for my annual trek to Lake Almanor...

Note especially to Boomer23: I have posted comment about significant change to SCE online graphing on SCE thread under Utilities. Net solar production (negative consumption) seems to be missing. This is not good. BTW I have been experimenting with Auto Pilot 1 on the Model S Tesla loaned me...

This thread has been dormant since Feb 2018, but I have some news. Tonight, July 10, 2018, I sign on to my account at SCE.com to see how my usage is doing during this heat wave. I click on "View Usage" as usual, but this time I find a completely different graphical display for monthly and...

I want to follow Boomer to the Costa Mesa Tesla meetup, so I will do my best to get to the breakfast earlier than I normally do. I thank Boomer for his comments on safety and hope to have more friendly discussion on this topic. I agree the current system is doing a lot to help reduce...
