So, after playing with Roadster #40 for two days, we had to bring it in to Tesla for service because of the aforementioned charging disaster on the first day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Funny enough, there was a new article on Tesla’s service at greencarreports.com that was published today as well<\/a>. We must all be bringing our Teslas in for work.<\/p>\n

So, initial reactions after one full day in service and being notified that Roadster #40 won’t be coming home after two days in the shop… I guess we’ll have to make do with the slower Tesla for a loaner…<\/p>\n

Basically spent a vacation day driving around LA and giving rides to family members and friends. A day with a loaner Model S is quite fun. The P85+ is really quick (and smooth), but the loaners are limited to 80 miles per hour. 0-60 is plenty quick and it reaches 80 and stops there.<\/p>\n

Did over 200 miles of driving yesterday. Even made a stop at Hawthorne for the Supercharger station. It was not charging as fast as when fully operational because three of the five chargers are out of commission. Still, a lot faster than the Active E.<\/p>\n

Got there at 4:35pm and started charging at 5:20pm.<\/p>\n

Stopped at 6:39pm. I went for a max charge (or until there was someone waiting for a charge.)<\/p>\n

Not as fast as promised (construction woes), but a heck of a lot faster than the Active E.<\/p>\n

The rest on Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll hold off on reviewing service until they’re done. But I can at least assert that after two days of driving a Model S for my daily drive and a bit more that I am assured that our order for an 85kwh Standard one was the right decision. There are still stuff about the S that bug me, but it is a rather well-built vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
