Can you sit in the car with the AC on while it charges? I'm going to Barstow and was thinking of bringing food with my family rather than go to Chillis.

The first few months I had my p85d it had Slacker and it was awesome. Then it went away and I spent a little while trying to figure out how to order it back, but it wasn't clear to me and that was probably 10 months ago. I figure I just call up/go online and tell Slacker my car info, but I...

brianman: Mandarin Oriental...right next to Aria. They say the valet can charge the car, so I'm thinking of resetting it to 100% battery limit when I get there so I have 250 miles of range for the drive back. lump: thank you for the ev trip planner info. I tried to use there site but it...

Boo. Fiiiine. So is 75mph ok as some suggested? The idea of driving 65 on the open freeway is lame. Tough to watch cars passing you by in the desert.

Love the detailed advice-- thank you! The one thing with me is that with my previous cars I was used to driving 90mph in the desert and not worrying at all about what level my AC is at. If I charge to 90% in Barstow and re-charge in Primm, am I right that I shouldn't have to worry at all about...

I was wondering about the navigation-- whether I set it to my Vegas destination or to the Barstow supercharger. I guess just set it for the Barstow supercharger, then when I'm in Barstow set it for my Vegas hotel? Just want to be sure that if I charge to 90% in Barstow I will definitely make...

Thanks for all the responses. One question-- why not set the battery limit at 100% the night before the trip so I start out with max miles of range? I know it takes longer to charge, but since I'll be sleeping it doesn't matter. Then once I get to the supercharger I could set it back down to...

I have a P85D. I'm going with two other people and a couple suitcases. My goal is to get to Vegas as quickly as possible without having to worry at all about range. Based on other threads I've seen, this is my game plan... --Set the battery limit to 100% the night before my trip. That will...
