That's what friends are for. Just look at the company you keep here. :)

I know a place, if you plan to stop for the evening. :)

Guessing they'll prioritize that custom coding right after the Google spreadsheet expression for sticky supercharger firsts.

Wait, now there's a public speaking component of the contest?! I don't know if I'm ready for that. But I have to say, yours is just as good as @Shesmyne2"'s Custer letter for @NKYTA.

95 through CT is much kinder than 95 through Jersey.

You're a camera photog or a drone photog or both? Some/an aerial shot(s) of the inn might be interesting - if you were in the area for that lobster roll. If that looks like a possibility then PM me and we can talk turkey.

There's a new game metric for you: Miles walked while supercharging :) But then we'd also have to rule if miles was the official measure for our metric friends outside the US border :( AND if you're walking WITH somebody, who would get credit for the distance if you decide to switch drivers :p

I needed that bit of levity this evening. Sounds like another user requirement to add to the app.

Ahh, home is the OTHER way. :)

Apparently, you don't need a current passport either.......

I can usually chop a chunk of time off our trips by stopping at an intermediate charger with a lower battery reading than by charging as full as the car recommends. And I usually get a bunch of strange looks from other folks as I splash and dash. :)

I can recommend a few cities in northeast PA for similar mental health visits @vanjwilson.

Guessing because of covid and staffing there's a passport app backlog. There's a special exemption until the end of June about getting back into the US on an expired passport. But I don't know why the Canadians let you in other than to pad your numbers. :)...

Yea, that threw me on a recent trip too. I decided to drive all the way to King of Prussia and get it on the way back since I still had to get Jim Thorpe North. Would be nice if the turnpike names had direction as part of the name, like Jim Thorpe.

Weekend trip and I cleaned up some nagging sites, spreadsheet updated. The conductor of my high school choir is retiring after 47 years of teaching. It was his last concert and he invited alumni back to join the performance. 5/6: Hudson NY, Red Hook NY, New Paltz NY, Roscoe NY 5/7: Jim Thorpe...

This could have gone an entirely different direction. You put your sites in using the actual day stamp, because you were going to do that anyway since game records don’t matter. Then the admins notice that you’re not on the most daily visits chart and ask and that’s when you volunteer the 8 to...

I actually had a radio DJ cut me off once when he said, “We’ll, even a broken clock is right twice a day. “ and I responded that wasn’t correct. If it was daylight savings and depending on the time the clock could be right just once or even three times.

No one ever enforces the rental agreement. Live your life.

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/supercharger-fort-myers-fl.229514/ If you check the Fort Myers thread it looks like the first location with V1's closed and a new location with V3's is under construction or open.

Beat me to it :)

Really? That's so kind. My usual descriptors are generally much more unflattering. I lost ownership of the process when we converted from the wiki to Excel so I'm not trying to put words into anyone's mouth, but I see incremental value in the expansion. It was that same incremental value that...

I'm confused by your use of unvisited in your comment if you're just trying to identify the leaders or commenting on the logic. If logic, then you're not comparing the "unvisited" for the leader against everyone else, you're comparing the visited, then looking at the count of what another...

Whenever - or never. Only wanted to document it for posterity.

Here's another strange idea for badges in the game: What about an "Anti-leader" badge? It would be a calculation, which off the top I realize may be difficult in the current environment. But as we said in my previous position, you get what you pay for and I'm just here to throw spaghetti at...

Quick trip to the alma mater for a social event. I hoovered: Bartonsville PA, State College PA, Altoona PA, Columbia NJ, Rockaway NJ, Boonton NJ, Parsippany NJ, Lodi NJ Spreadsheet updated. Funny picture in Bellefonte PA - You don't see these two colors together very often anymore.

If we were having a contest for playgrounds visited in your Tesla, I'm pretty sure you'd be the leader. :)

How does nobody mention that at least for the moment, @Darren S , @benswing, and @Thinkje are all TIED at 731! A much lower number, sure. But all at the same number in the 700s? Astonishing!

You did what we were planning to try before our trip got cut short. I was only planning to go to 8pm so you are true warriors! I thought 50 was possible. Great job!

I've created some pretty complicated (and interesting) Excel files and I've used colors to try and be a roadmap for what I did for both myself and folks that came after me. I was continually stymied because once you get past the 5 or 6 base colors, shades start to look the same.

Coming from the banking industry but not credit cards specifically: Banks prefer transactions in the country-native currency that they then convert to your home currency. Of course, that rate varies by day so all transactions for a day would be converted at the same rate. This winds up being...

Forgot to post, but route 441 through the Smokey’s is a great drive as well.

Make sure you get the car washed and smile for your close-up! :)

I think it’s time for ConCon (conference on conferences). 😉

Day 6, home at last. Am I astonished that we saw snow in The Great Smoky Mountains and then we get back to Maine and all the snow is gone? Sure. Am I disappointed that we had to cut things short? Sure. Am I plotting how to get to 400? Certainly. Am I grateful that we had the chance to get...

Thought for the admins here and of supercharge.info: I'm on the road on the east coast, in the MidAtlantic, and doing some on-the-fly route planning. The Jersey turnpike pairs gave me fits. I saw an unvisited dot on my map during the evening planning session and said, "Sure, let's get that...

Day 5, last of the big haul before getting home. It was fun being by the shore in the off-season. The absence of people and traffic were both welcome and striking. Kind of made me think what things were like two years ago. It was also nice seeing trees about to bloom. It's probably a good...

I had my fingers crossed that the answer was a TARDIS. But then I also wondered why a date change would be necessary in that case. :)

Day 4 We drove the whole width of North Carolina without having BBQ. It didn't help that most of the driving occurred on a Sunday, when most places were closed, or in the morning when most places aren't open yet. Last night when I charted the plan for today's drive, I noticed the green Exmore...

Day 3ish, wifey had a little run-in with coordination and wound up twisting her ankle. She's fine but hobbled, so we decided to head back home to recuperate. It's a pity because we had big plans for Florida. BIG plans. Take note again @PhillyGal, that not everything turns out as anticipated...

Thanks. Plenty of revving engines due to both a Corvette show and diesel pickup trucks. Not much opportunity for idiots due to near bumper to bumper traffic on the main thoroughfares. I can easily imagine these towns being quiet backwaters at one time. Now they’ve gone completely tourist. Kind...

Day 2: Made it all the way to Pigeon Forge TN. Holy smokes - this place is not a quiet backwater! It's like Wildwood NJ but without the beach. Also nice to note that the trip down I81 through VA could not have been nicer; the charging stations are spaced out such that we pretty much traveled...

Day 1 of the "Don't Count Your Chickens" Road Trip. Take note @PhillyGal. We had planned to leave on Sunday but our dog got sick and we waited until he recovered. All is well. Now we just have to decide if we're staying out as long as originally planned or cutting it a bit short. We'll...

King Arthur delivers! :)

Thanks for the recommendation; it's about time someone came out with an app. Not sure if I'm down with the 5% or 16% toll premium that's part of the fee model.

Don't count your chickens........ :)

Part of the Ellsworth christening today with @Tdreamer and a few other friends. My spreadsheet is updated.

Looks like we might have a little meet-up at the charger in the early afternoon today, hopefully around 1:30-2:00. Anyone in the area or not that wants to make the trip is welcome!

So maybe we're going tomorrow. Convoy anyone? Full disclosure that we have to hang around Freeport until at least 10ish AM.

Waiting to see if anyone snagged it today; I may be interested in a run tomorrow if not.
