The EV Extend kit comes with detailed instructions including step by step procedures, pictures, tools list, etc. it's pretty detailed and simple. Others who purchased the kit may also be able to...

As others have stated, it can't be done as default on a 2013. However, if it's really a nuisance to you, you could always buy a Level 2 charger (240V) for your home, and that's at least one location...

Gas up anywhere. Just make sure it's at least 91 octane as stated, for optimal engine performance. As others stated, using regular is not recommended, and you'd take as much of a hit in mileage as...

They have one post, says they're from Pakistan, and it contains like 5 links to some leather clothing in the signature. It should probably be deleted as spam.

I had the same thing happen to me last night. Definitely not an Auto Defot setting. Comfort, Eco, and Fan Only all stated 100% power, yet my air started blowing cold even though the heater said it...

Perfect, I'll do a more diligent search for the setting. Thanks!

As an aside, I was pleased to find the 2013 Volt Nav can display the current road's speed limit. It needs to be enabled in the Config menu, but I tend to like that feature and the 2011 Volt did not...

Yes, the mileage estimate is just that: an estimate. It will vary with your driving style, weather conditions, etc. Expect to see ranges that surpass the mid 40's during the summer, but dip to the...

You turn down the volume while the sound is being heard. Or in the Config menu there's a Volume setting for it. I think it's called "Audio Cue Volume"

The car never blindly counts downhill miles as electric miles unless you have the car in hold mode, mountain mode, or have depleted your battery. By that reasoning, the car would count the energy...

Bring it in, it may be a failed shock. I had that happen on my 2011. It was more of a rattle for me when going over bumps. But the dealer will be able to diagnose pretty quickly.

Opening the hood shouldn't work. It doesn't charge the battery in that case.

Stopping and using mountain mode might if done when the battery is higher than 10% and lower than 40%. But that still...

Haha that's funny! Maybe key ignitions are required to start without pressing the brake, but I'm pretty sure the opposite is true for keyless ignitions. The brake is required to be pressed for...

If necessary, I'd be willing to pay up to the price parity point with gasoline. After all, one is smooth electric drive, and the other requires the engine to run.

If electricity costs me more...

Green stripes for the parking spots seem to be the bare minimum, while others add a green square in the center of the spot with a car/plug symbol. (All as shown above)

Signage is definitely more...

That's a key detail that's good to know :)

Well, I don't claim I know all the details but, check out this site:

There are certainly credits for other types of vehicles,...

Tesla sells all their credits because they don't need to raise their fleet-wide fuel efficiency. GM on the other hand, will need to use them and will not sell them, presumably.

You bring up an...

I don't feel like you get so much more with the Model S, but that's just my opinion. It certainly seats more, and has more cargo space. But range is still limited and there's something that...

Thanks Ian!



Thanks. It's great to see more and more around, just wish it was happening quicker. I guess it comes down to two things: Dealer understanding/buy-in, and vehicle cost. The...
