    Dows is only marginally closer in mileage than Shelby to OC is... Not only that, but youd likely take highway 20, which is higher speed limit, more battery drain... There is no good option right now without sioux city

    No, but you should be able to plug in to 110v overnight (if you are staying) and get about 4mph charge... so if you get a good 12 hours, maybe 50 miles. Given shelby to OC (by 2 lane) is 60mph you may be ok. Also, im certain a car dealer in town has a charger you could use if you asked nicely.

    Yep, they are terrible. Hopefully everyone who uses it will raise the concern inside the store. :) btw, even the pull in front stall has its bumper too far, so you scrap the front of your car in able to reach the car with the cable :)

    Charged their twice today. 8 stalls, 1 pull in front way. Biggest problem (and i told the owner of the restaurant) was that they put up parking bumpers between the car and the charger. So when you back in you literally have to hit them with your tires to make the cord reach your car. Kind of...

    I get why its "needed" but not before other options. Same reason Bethany MO was so crucial (barely got there with my S85, and in the cold its hard with my LR 3). Sioux city just badly needs one. Im sure its coming... all good :) Ill definitely use this one in shelby. More than Council bluffs.

    thank you guys... never really understood this charger anyway. If you are going to omaha, there is one there.. if you are going to sioux falls you can barely make it from omaha there anyway. This charger should have been put in Sioux City first. THEN maybe this one later. as a tesla owner...

    Why Are You Cancelling Your Reservation?

    Im strongly considering cancelling my reservation. I am a current S owner as well. 1. Charging speed - 80% of my charging is at SC because i use it for work, traveling in my 2 state patch). That speed is a big deal. 2. Size - model s is so much bigger cargo wise. Not sure i need it, but man...
