I let my reliable Prius 2010 and my leased Leaf 2014 go for a Tesla S60, any question ?

    That was an interesting read. Kind of flies in the face of the article I posted from the same website. According to the hacker, readings are higher than stated & other packs are lower than stated. And like your link says, the newer 60kwh is most economical because you're getting 2kwh more than 60 ... which bodes even more well for the even more efficient 60D.
    But HEY ! When are you going to post some pictures of the new ride? Looking forward to it.

    Actually I'm thinking of selling my zero, I'm sad because I don't have so much occasions to ride it because of my 3yo kid. And another one is coming in 1 month. My Tesla, I can ride it with my kid (s). I may buy another Zero later

    What color is that ... i know tesla sold/experimented with several colors that they later decided not to continue .... a gold/bronze comes to mind ... also a metalic brown, but don't recall seeing that shade/color before. Also, i see you're using your J1772 adapter for charging. Is that set up on a 40 amp breaker? That'd allow for 7.5kW charging. IIRC, the 4 prong portable unit (presuming there's a dedicated 50amp breaker) will charge at 10kW.

    That is gray, it's a pretty common color for Tesla, not my favorite. My favorite is the latest blue.

    I have a 30A outlet only. I normally charge at 24A. I installed a new 14-50 outlet to use the portable charger, but still at 24A

    Actually - existing Tesla owners are preferentially put at the front of the line - according to Tesla.
