@elonmusk Any update on plan to install solar arrays at Supercharger stations?
Elon Musk @elonmusk
@FredericLambert There are some installed already, but full rollout really needs Supercharger V3 and Powerpack V2, plus SolarCity. Pieces now in place.
@FredericLambert A mere 350 kW ... what are you referring to, a children's toy?

Holiday 'Dancing' Model X Easter Egg is Rolling Out Now
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/812106490395824128
https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/5jy1eh/model_x_easter_egg/?st=ix28gyxg&sh=228581bc
For those of you with a Model X that has the most recent firmware (I believe 2.50.115 is needed, not positive though) you should try out the Easter Egg!
1. Hold the Tesla T until it pulses
2. Type in "modelxmas"
3. Hit "OK"
It will prompt you to exit, close the door and press the lock button
We just tried it out at the Service Center and it's pretty awesome.
Happy holidays everyone!
Here's a link for those of you without a Model X

http://electrek.co/2016/06/06/tesla-model-s-battery-pack-data-degradation/
Data shows that the Model S’ battery pack generally only loses about 5% of its capacity within the first 50,000 miles and then the degradation significantly slows down with higher mileage. Plug-in America’s data shows several vehicles with over 100,000 miles driven and less than 8% degradation
