    Very nice. It is only a matter time now!

    Escaping From Power Outages

    Wow. If my electric were that unreliable, I’d have a Powerwall or two out of necessity, even if solar were not viable.

    No progress as of today. I looked around for a meter or anywhere a meter might obviously be mounted and did not see anything. Not sure whether it would typically be mounted on the transformer, be in the underground vault, or somewhere else. I agree with Mdsbrain - the construction that's going...

    Assistance with Insurance Claim

    Yeah, I'd never leave the scene of an accident without a police report (although there are some jurisdictions that don't dispatch police to minor accidents) and a copy of the other driver's insurance information. If a driver wants to pay for the damage out of pocket, no problem, I can hold off...

    Traveling by Supercharger can be more expensive than ICE

    Have you seen the damage caused by oil drilling and oil spills? Every technology has impacts. My comments were specifically with regard to lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions - which many studies have shown are far lower than petroleum powered vehicles. Ultimately, lithium mining does not result...

    Traveling by Supercharger can be more expensive than ICE

    That, and building infrastructure is expensive. Even if Supercharging is merely a break-even venture, they need to pay back the cost to install the equipment. When I installed level 2 charging in my outdoor condo parking space, it cost me almost $5k (before credits/deductions, which were...

    Replacement tires

    That’s one incredible chart but sadly it does not include anything related to efficiency/range. That’s definitely a factor that I purchase tires based on and one of the reasons I’m leaning towards another set of MXM4s.

    I swung by today, still no power to the stalls.

    Supercharger - Washington, DC (Market Street NE)

    I decided to swing by tonight and I was glad I did - we have a transformer now!! Superchargers stalls are still dark, but we're definitely getting closer.

    Supercharger - King George, VA - Owens Drive

    If there’s no one local, I can swing by in 2.5 weeks. I’ll be headed right by on my way to a wedding.

    Supercharger - Washington, DC (Market Street NE)

    Stopped by this evening, still no progress. There was a gray Model 3 with MD plates parked nearby, not sure if it was anyone on this forum, but if it was, I just missed you.

    Tesla Direct

    For the reasons that OCR1 mentioned, if you are reasonably close to a service center I’d pick up in person. It looks like you are not too far from Raleigh if your listed location is accurate. I could understand if you were 100+ miles away, but I’d highly recommend picking up in person so you can...

    Road Rage recorded by Dashcam

    Wow, that is pretty bold on the part of that driver. I used to work for a transit authority and one of the things I did was oversee the on board video recording systems for our buses. If someone pulled that on one of our operators, we’d pull the video and hand it over to the police who would...

    Checked this evening - needed an excuse to try out my newest electric vehicle. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Still no transformer.

    Supercharger - Rutland, Vermont

    Is there a transformer yet? Can't really tell by the pictures. That's been the delay with a lot of Superchargers down in the DC area.
