Our Tesla is a model Y. Absolutely love it. First new car I have ever bough that didn't have to go back to the dealer for some repair.

Don, Is this how you are going to load your electric bike? Come see us again in Benson.

Laurie and I had the pleasure of being Jeff and Sue's neighbors for several months when we first started full timing. A great couple and always made us feel right at home. We are very sorry to hear about Jeff's passing and extend heart felt condolences to Sue at this difficult time. Chet &...

In responce to where we are. We are full timers and have a permeant lot and casita at the Escapee Co-Op in Benson, AZ. Haven't seen one of the SuperCharger installations like your photo. Where's the new SuperCharger you showed in the photos? Just got back from a 4 month trip to the east coast...

I'm sure happy with my Tesla model Y which we have had for 11 months now. It's sitting in the driveway with 84% charge showing and indicating 268 miles remaining range. The longest I have ever spent at a SuperCharger is 40 minutes when I was down to 15% remaining range and charged back up to...

I retired at 62. Am now 82. Just wish I could have retired 10 years sooner. DW (same age as me) retired as a school nurse at 58. We had a decent fund, but it has doubled since retirement. We have traveled full time in RV since 2013 and a little by air so have covered all 50 states and all of...

Stay away from Ohio, especially if their driers have passed this test.

Clean all your battery connections. Sounds like you're not getting enough current to turn the starter over, especially the connection from the solenoid to the starter motor.

I have the DECKA AGM batteries I bought 4 years ago in our coach. They have been great. My inverter/charger has never let them go below 50%. I like the AGMs because there is no build up of corrosion to clean off every 4-6 months that I used to get with the wet cell golfcart batteries.

There has been a case of a forum member having their SleepNumber bed blow up and pop as they were driving from low to a higher altitude. Just be ware that as you change altitude, the bed's air volume expands and contracts.

I am towing a Tesla model Y in a 8.5' x 20' HaulMark enclosed trailer. I have tried, without any success to get the Tesla to self drive in by itself. Even with the ramp at 6.6 deg. It quits at the top and says ramp is to steep. I drive it in with the seats reclined and then exit the car through...

We are in Benson, Az and drove to Waterford,TX to have Ernie replace the carpet with engineered wood plank flooring. Ernie is the best there is for flooring replacement.
