Stayed at the Hyatt in Birmingham this weekend. I did a lot of running around and decided I needed to add a little bit of a charge to get back home without worrying about running the battery to low. Alabama Power has four charging stations at their headquarters building at 42 and 44Inverness...

Charged at Barber's today. It is a J1772. Must go inside to pay $5 flat fee one hour or all day. When you plug in it says the machine is charging but it is not charging unless you pay. It was a 220 but it had low amperage and a low charge rate. Charged at about 19 miles per hour. It was...

New S85 is not the end of my Mercedes Era but close, since 1983 my primary vehicle has been a Mercedes. Just sold my Mercedes car but still have a Sprinter van. Agree with HCRK about trading solid luxury for fun, exciting but I love the interior of this car. Also sold a BMWZ3 which was fun...

Today at around 2PM I saw a white Model S in front of Kroger on Hughes Road. It was coming toward me so I didn't get a look at the tag. But it was definitely a new Tesla.

Spent this weekend at Barbers Motorsport Museum. You will be pleased to know there are two EV CHARGING STATIONS in the parking lot in front of the museum. I was told by the museum staff that SOUTHERN COMPANY has started putting charging stations in popular event locations in their territory...

It's here! It's wonderful! It is significant that we we're able to pick up our electric car on Earth Day.

Good news! It's here. Now Madison has at least two Model S's. The other good news is there is a long weekend event for the bikes in Louisiana this weekend. So I have only two days to play with my new four wheel toy before I have to leave it home to play with my two wheel toys.

We got wet at our motorcycle trip this weekend but the sun really came out this morning when we found out our car is now in production . Our deliver date is scheduled for April 23 but after reading post on this web site we are trying to just go with the flow. It is hard not to get excited when...

Careful! We are folks that like to travel and visit friends along the way. We might just show up at your door. Even though we live in Madison we go to Colorado about once a year. We went to the 2013 graduation at the Air Force Academy for our nephew and spent an afternoon in Denver with our...

Can't make car show because our S is not scheduled for delivery until late April and we have a motorcycle rally to go to in Mississippi that weekend. So many roads and so little time! And soon a new S to compete with the bikes for ride time.
