I know benyl's commute. That won't work, especially in winter. But if he gets free charging at work it might be OK, depending on how cold it is outside as it's not (AFAIK) a heated lot.

Obvious answer is buy 2 Teslas and leave one on the charger. Works for my cordless drill.

Asian genetics is strong. lol @ 110v. Good luck with that.

I charged in my condo parking garage with 110v for a short time, it was brutal. I have a 240v50a plug now in stead and it's usually charging 34-37 klms per hour.

If the car is plugged in @ 110V, and you preheat the battery/car, will it drain the battery or just stop charging periodically?

I believe it will continue to charge. If your battery is full (to your set limit) and it's plugged in, it will not constantly charge, it will let the battery go down a little bit before it starts charging again. I routinely leave my car sitting and plugged in for a month at a time, that's been my experience.

With the way I drive, I think I am going to get 1/2 of the rated range. Winter will be 1/4. Maybe I need 220V. Haha

Did you use a matte PPF?

Let me know how that Matt gets dirty! I really want to rip off the clear protective and do full Matt on the x.

Good thread. Thinking about a used Model S myself...

Nice to hear about the rebate from enmax! Car looks good, Benyl.

Matte is the easiest film to clean. Because of lack of reflections, you barely see waterspots. It's the lowest maintenance I've had, car always looked good. That said, it doesn't look good on all cars, needs sharp angles to make it work.

Next car for me will be matte for sure.
I received a reply from Enmax that I am on the wait list. That sure filled up quickly.

I'm on the wait list for the SW. Wonder what the wait list is like in the other quadrants.

No reply from Enmax in NW.

Nice to see another debadged 3.
My wife got ticked when I had it removed.

I think I registered the day before you and I received my wait list email at 3:30 yesterday.

Side question: Has anyone had any success installing a charger in their condo parkade? I approached my condo board about it, and they replied that the difficulty is how to charge the usage back to the unit. Wouldn't that just mean you have to install another meter at your charging station?

I went through the same issue with my condo board. I first requested to run power to my parking stalls from the breaker, but they insisted that if I would require this, then they would need to install additional breakers to accomodate any other owners who might wanted to run power to their parking spot.

Depending on the power company, you may or may not be allowed to sub-meter within the building. In Manitoba, you can't actually install a sub-meter because Manitoba Hydro and bylaws, or something along those lines. I basically ran the car for 3 months and informed the condo board that based on my average power usage per kilometer, the average user should be charged roughly $20-25/month based on driving 15,000 kilometers per year.
