Just in case I wanted to 'push things' right up to the limit. (FYI, I've driven a car ~3 miles when it read 0 miles in the battery). Done that, not doing it again.

Johnny Cab?

I'm thinking of starting a poll that describes "When you ran out of juice, how far were you from the SuperCharger, HPWC or other decent charging apparatus." Probably too few people to get any meaningful information. But it would be good to hear how people got themselves into that jam, e.g...

Lol!

Steam catapult on-ramps. $1 per use. Must come to a complete stop on the ramp to use it.

As a hacker, and part time evil genius, I need to come up with some kind of fake "Elon Musk public Service announcement". I would transmit a (falsely) live video feed from an ersatz Elon Musk to the cars sitting at the Supercharger 5 minutes up the road. The public service announcement would...

OK, there is a 'degraded' refuel experience, and then there is an outright fail, which is what Bjorn demonstrated. His comment "I'm now get to burn some calories so I can eat a burger" -- while pushing his car, is very nearly a disaster. If he had 500 meters to go rather than 100 meters, he...
