I agree with you, I was wrong for all I can tell the rate difference is so high that despite the less favorable TOU timeslots, the EV-A is a lot better than the E6, assuming you charge your car late enough to be in the lowest rate. I am planning to switch from E6 to EV-A based on what I see on...

LOL that may be even better than driving to radioshack for a 10-Ohm resistor :) I must have a ton of old headphone sets in the drawer.

We actually were lucky enough to be able to afford a Tesla Model X June 2016 and put 24k miles on it already in less than a year, so I know both about reliability and Fahrvergnügen on our 2015 VW-eGolf and on our 2016 Tesla Model X. I drive the eGolf daily, and the tesla on the weekends and on...

"So I narrowed it down to and am going with the Potenza RE970AS Pole Position tire." I got them installed at Big O Tires, but declined the alignment there and to double check the work did the alignment at my VW Service center for just $10 more - which did end up including a complementary car...

24,900 since january 2015, probably about 12k put on in the first year before we replaced the Honda Odyssey with the Tesla Model X, then about 7k/year after It came with the Continental. From another user forum I got a recommendation for the goodyear efficientgrip: Goodyear EfficientGrip...

I bought a lot since then :)

I brought my 2015 VW eGolf SEL to a tire shop to look at a tire that keeps losing air, and they told me that the tires are basically considered bald, and I should replace them all, and in addition they found about 5 nails in them total. So I guess its time to do this. What are the best tires...

Beware of their car-net service, when I bought the VW eGolf in 2015 they said it came with 3 years for car-net service and would cost something after that. about 2 years in they call me and say I will lose access if I don't start paying monthly. I very specifically asked about the 3 years and...

http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?7108275-Disbale-fake-engine-sound has the solution, 10 Ohm resistor added, done.

Then why don't you short it then :) I will gladly buy the shares at a discount, you will be in good company, 37 million shares are still borrowed and sold short that will have to be bought back in the near future, likely at higher prices. The billions of dollars have been invested well into...

Works fine since 2015.

Funny enough I can do the same with our Tesla Model X, but I would pick the winery with a tesla charger, which there are plenty to chose from :) No time wasted either.

What's killing me is that there are so many more reasons to drive electric than just the cost, but it doesnt get advertised enough: - guilt free acceleration, especially when you have solar panels on your garage - immediate torque, at a two lane light, I always see the gas cars in the rear view...

E6 was the best, I gladly switched to it before they closed the plan while keeping it running for whoever already was in the plan. E7 apparantly was even better but that one they shut down completely. The EV-A and EV-B don't seem attractive to a solar household in comparison, even with two...

http://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/ still no reasonable amount per month, GM Bolt already sold 2114 in two months whereas eGolf only sold 625. Very sad, since eGolf is a very good looking car with the light accents, and decent seats, small turning radius, aggressive...

LA Times is a spin publishing outlet for lobbyists, i.e. oil industry, just like that scammy hitpiece about subsidies they did a while ago. The real story here is that Model 3 is on schedule, that the solar city aquisition added 200 million in cash, that tesla has $3b cash to build out the...

To follow up on this: I did replace our Honda Oddyssey with a Tesla Model X 90D in May 2016. Love the car ! Night and day difference in performance and also quality of the iphone app, but also four times the cost of the eGolf. Now no longer making road trips with the eGolf, and use it for local...

You wrote: Normally I would say 'yes' but the Siemens has problems with the EGolf (see other posts) I think those issues were only with the old black version, not the newer white one that I referenced ?

So that sales person lied to me. Thankfully I picked month to month plan and will try out what I get without paying for it. And I agree, I would pay say $5/month, maybe even $10 if it worked better, but no way I am paying $18/month for a badly performing app, especially when sales people...

So what was the outcome? I drove our 2015 VW eGolf from Walnut Creek to Sunnyvales google HQ and charged there and drove back home after the meeting, nice to have the carpool lane access and the smooth ride, I'll never go back to gas cars.
