There is a Tesla owner with an HPWC on PlugShare (http://api.plugshare.com/view/location/18345) that is very close to several hotels and restaurants at the Capital Avenue exit (I believe it is Exit 97). Easy walking distance to a Comfort Inn and not much further to some nicer hotels. I haven't...

I'd say 3 is enough to call it a club. I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of a secret handshake.

I scheduled a test drive in Chicago. Very impressed, but held off ordering for a while. Test drove a couple of high-end ICE cars, not so impressed. Ordered online and took delivery from a third party auto transport company at my house.

You are welcome to use my 80 amp HPWC on the north side of Holland. I am on PlugShare.

I got a full body wrap of Xpel Ultimate about a week after I got my Model S and it has held up extremely well. That was almost 2 years and 69,000 miles ago and the car still looks great. Negatives are cost (I paid $4k), finding an installer with experience working with Model S (I drove down...

Last minute addition. I just booked my room and will be there this evening. This will be a good way to finish up my road trip vacation.

Well, Tamman is secure at the top. I updated my list for the new part of my drive home from this vacation. The rest of the trip overlaps my route from last summer. I will probably pick up Country Club Hills which is new, but that will still leave 5 shy of the lead.

Actually, all my supercharger visits have been completely solo. I do have a lot of respect though for anyone road tripping with two young boys in the car. I enjoyed my road trip from Michigan to California last summer for TMC Connect so this year I set a bigger challenge; Key West to...

Well, I crossed the century mark and moved into second place. I still have several to add on my return leg of this trip but I will not catch Tamman. At least not this summer... Looks like I am the only one of the leaders to count the Leguna Seca temporary SC from TMC Connect last summer. I...

I stopped by Saturday 5/17 on the off chance it might be open. The gate to the parking lot was open "for construction traffic only" so I pulled in and gave it a try. No power yet. In addition to re-stripping the parking lot, it appears Tesla needs to apply the 1A, 1B, ... numbering decals to...

Charged with no problems on 5/14. Checked 1A and 3B.

Given that Cole is both a car dealer and a state senator, I suspect the operative phrase is "if true". Unlikely in my opinion but then again I am rather cynical. If a Tesla owner plugged in consistently like that I am sure the dealership would simply ICE their charger with one of their...

Technically the chargers are in the electrical cabinets near the transformers rather than the connection points at the charging stalls, so hopefully Tesla could run cables to new charging stalls down the line such that the superchargers stalls would not be blocked. That assumes the property...

Done. Check your PM mailbox unless you already have a better offer.

Having owned my Model S for 17+ months, I can confidently say I will never buy an ICE vehicle again. That's not an uncommon sentiment among other Tesla owners I have met. But I have also decided I will never buy a car through a dealer again. That may limit my choices to only Tesla when I am...
