You are forgetting the fact that a 200 mile range rating doesn't equate to driving 200 miles. You lose range if it's cold - lots of range, even in the 50's. You lose range if you drive uphill. You lose range if you drive faster than 60 mph on the highway. You lose range if your car is heavier...

Thanks for confirming what I told my husband about the availability of SCs when the news reported that stations ran out of gas in Florida. (I'm in NC) I have a S 90 with a rated range of 300 miles. As long as I charged it before I left, I feel like I could drive out of the range of the worst...

Thanks for the photos. I would have bet money that they would put these in at the Sheetz at I40 and the airport. There's tons of room. It makes sense to charge when you drive someone to the airport. There is a generic charger there, but I've never used it and don't know much about it. North...

Just beware that 220 miles isn't 220 miles most of the time not if it's colder than about 60 degrees, you drive faster than 60 mph, you have more than one person in your car or extra weight (luggage), or are going up hill. I didn't get Autopilot the first time and actually had it foisted upon...

Thanks! I was wondering where they would build along the I40 corridor, and Statesville looked like the best choice. Do you have an address and ETA? I have family in Asheville, and grew up about a mile from that charger. It's a great location for me, but I'm sorry it is out of the way for you...

I have noticed that there are times when it queries me almost constantly, and other times it is a longer interval between queries. Now I'm wondering if it has to do with how I'm sitting in the seat. I probably do shift around when on a longer drive. I will test this theory. It also has odd...

I replaced my S70 with a 90, because I was afraid to take it on trips. (250 mile range vs 300) There aren't enough super chargers in my area yet. I couldn't drive from Raleigh NC to Asheville, for example, without having to take a major detour through Charlotte. Having a 70 made the dire...
