    Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

    Has anyone verified that they actually have electricity in Ft.Stockton or Pecos?

    Supercharger - Carmel, IN

    I would think there might be occasions when being inside might be beneficial. Like when it snows, a continuous heavy rain or direct mid summer sun..

    Supercharger - Carmel, IN

    Bloomington is only 50 miles from SC in Indy (5520 Victory Drive just off I 465 at Emerson Ave) Not really needed near term. But the intersection of Interstate 69 and Interstate 64 would serve travelers from St. Louis to Louisville and Indy to and Chicago/Terre Haute to (future 169 /...

    Supercharger - Carmel, IN

    For my money the best northside place to eat is The Journey on east 96th St. (about ten miles away) an all you can eat delicious Japanese Asian American buffet restaurant. Ten bucks for lunch (11a - 3p) about twenty for dinner including prime rib (6p - 10p). Stir fry, soup, bbq ribs, sushi and...

    Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

    Tesla needs to get some true grit and find an alternative to the holdup. There are two truckstops (maybe not in Ft Stockton permit jurisdiction) Flying J and Loves. 380 days and counting is absurd. Someone has dropped the ball and should be replaced with someone with the ability to get this done.

    Supercharger - Fort Stockton, Texas

    In excess of 250 days wait is absurd. Tesla should have walked away after 60 - 90 days and found another location. It would make more sense to design a SC to be mostly self contained and pre wired inside a shipping container that could be trucked to a site, dropped and finished quickly ready...

    Supercharger - El Paso, Tx

    I may be approaching curmudgeon status(soon be 75) but it seems to me Tesla is not very aggressive about finding new locations, particularly between El Paso and Casa Grande. Nor do they appear to be very demanding of progress once they have an approved permit for a construction site.

    How Tesla Charges Idle Fees?

    Sounds good. Make a few thousand and put it on eBay. Oops - Have you got a license to use the copyrighted trademark?

    Does this mean you are going to be the test dummy? Look forward to reading about the results in a couple of weeks.

    How Tesla Charges Idle Fees?

    Free charging is not the same as free parking. If you ignore the time limit how sure are you that no one will vandalize your car while it takes up a space? The whole fee is waved if you don't overstay. It's purpose is to get space hogs to move not make money. And this is likely a temporary...

    Supercharger - Paducah, Kentucky

    ALSO: IN 37 from Bloomington, IN to Indianapolis is four lane limited access highway. But due to the current (Jan 2017) construction upgrade to Interstate spec there are several long stretches that are single lane both north and south bound from Bloomie to Martinsville and frequent congestion...

    Supercharger - Paducah, Kentucky

    NOTE - If you travel on I-69 between Evansville, IN and Bloomington. IN. There are numerous bridges where the pavement on either side of the bridge is lower than the bridge. Some of them have warning signs saying BUMP.and advising reducing speed. This condition exists despite the relative...

    BLUE used to be my favorite color but ORANGE is looking better these days and RED postivily rocks!

    Supercharger - Mt. Vernon, IL

    I think it would make sense to locate a SC near the intersection of I-64 and I-69. That is not served by many amenities but a few miles west is the intersection of US 41 (Dixie highway) and I-64 which has three truck stops with fast food, motels and a few other restaurants nearby. That is 80...
