I've tried searching for this a couple times now and can't seem to find anything. Do any of you know if there's been a list made of all the changes that have been made throughout the 200 Series years?
Similar to what Slee has posted on his site for the 80 and 100 Series. (I realize it all likely originated from MUD)

Slee Off-Road 100 Series Newbie Guide
 
Thank you @ga12r1. That's a great find and I'm sorry if I posted up too soon.

It would be nice if there was a single place where a complete 2008-2018 model year differences list could be built and saved to the top that focuses on changes that the wheeling community will be interested in. For example, a similar, one-stop shop like Slee's page. Some of the threads around here are close to the same and close to complete and I appreciate everything that's been posted. I get that some are older threads.

As I continue looking around, I want to also give a shout out to friend and neighbor @SteveJackson for his factory "Product Information" PDFs he's posted.

Did you forget too mention the 2019 1/2 is an electric hybrid for only $70K more. MoveOver Tesla.:rofl:
 
Not electric hybrid, 2019 1/2 needs to be full electric . I’m not replacing my 13 LX 570 until there is a full electric version, searously. On our 2nd Tesla my and I have no idea why anyone would buy a new gas car.

My wife had an Model s and just didn’t like how big it was so we sold it a little over a year ago. Just took delivery of an AWD model 3. Honistly the model 3 is the best car (car that is not truck) we have ever owned in terms of ergonomics, driving dynamics, thoughtful design, not overly techie like the S and C, really almost everything. Compairing it to the cars we’ve had: BMW (M3), MB (SL, e class), 911 (996 turbo, 997 4s).

If someone offered me a free car I had to keep and couldn’t sell. I would take the model 3 over anything.
 
Do you have a SuperCharger at home?

My son moves several Teslas around Boston for Turo, but he can't bring one up to my neck of the woods as there is no place nearby to charge it, and he's not sure he will make it back home.

Kinda ruins the practicality.
 
There are no super chargers in the state of Alaska, we got our first EV car charger (40amp not super) in the state last summer in Soldotona, AK. I have the $500 Tesla Wall charger on a 60amp breaker in the garage. I can charge ~40 mile (Tesla says 44) range per hour plugged in. We had a S 75D AWD (~250 mile range) and now have a model 3 AWD long range (~310 mile range). So basically it is like having a fuel pump in my garage and I refill the tank most nights. It really changes your view of re-fueling as besides one time the only place we have ever charged is the house and work where they have 110 outlets for block heaters. Funny when my wife needs to drive the LX (rare) for extra seating I have to make sure it is full because she never thinks about refueling anymore. The one time we recharged on the road was the last summer we had the S, did a long day trip to Homer ~210 miles one way. Drove the 5 hours there, plugged in at a campground hung out for the day and drove back.

So what I’m saying is in Alaska everything is either really close or really far. We drive the Tesla pretty much around Anchorage and to and from Alyeska ski resort all winter (~80 miles round trip.). When we first got the S we were a little afraid to leave Anchorage due to charge anxiety but got over that. I can’t imagine there would be limitations in any area of the country with a charging network.


I know a dozen or so others with Tesla’s up here and the only large limitation is Anchorage to Fairbanks. It is longer than any current EV range at ~360 miles one way. There is a campground about half way with 40 amp but you only get ~30 miles per charge hour so have to spend 3-4 hours at that point. A super charger would cut that to ~40 min. We have no plans to make that drive ever with out the camper.

In the summer we drive my LX a bunch pulling our camper all over the state. If my LX was electric with a 300 mile range towing I would be ok as long as I used camp grounds with 40amp hookups as I could plug in the camper and truck when we got where we were going. Of course an EV cruser with a 300 mile range while towing a 7000lb camper is theoretical at this point.
 
In general I like the idea, and I'm sure I'll have one some day. I can't remember the last time I saw one around here, but I'm sure that will change as the public charging stations get installed. We have a fleet of Leafs on campus that probably never go very far, so it makes total sense for them. There are a bunch of charging spots, but maybe the plugs are not compatible with Teslas? I always wondered about that.
 
We have an adapter that came with the car it works with most of the common plugs. I think with the 3 being a “reasonable” price and many of the major manufactures announcing full electric coming to market in the next few years we will see a lot more on the road (or plugged in)

There are two Supercharger locations open 24/7 at the Hookset Plaza on 93 - one Northbound and one Southbound (Find Us | Tesla), wouldn't one of those do?

That's over an hour away from me, and in the wrong direction to go to and from Boston.

Sorry, based on an earlier post of yours, I thought you were near Bow:

KLF said:
That is good to hear. My RLC rear bumper is sitting in their PA warehouse waiting to hitch a ride up to the Bow NH shop, then they will be doing the install. Do they also install your tanks?

(sorry for the hijack)

Stuck in my mind because my sister lives in Bow.

Never mind ...
