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

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..

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 /...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

ditto bad link

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

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...

At last! Now if they can get Springfield under construction this will truly make a direct coast to coast (think NYC to LA) practicable this year. It is time for Tesla to work on connecting east to west via I-10 and via I-80 too.

Well certainly that is possible. I would be surprised if localities do not have to follow some state guidelines, although different localities have additional ordinances / practices etc which must be followed unless a variance is requested and granted. That would be why I would think Tesla...

108 days - what could be taking so long? Is the process timeline in Missouri mandated by the state or is it governed by local ordinance requiring readings at several hearings before approval?

Well yes of course but some locations are more congested and need charged cars to leave as soon as charged so the next person can get their turn. This way would be more efficient use of the chargers. move cars in order and relieve drivers of having to return when they are busy. Perhaps when...

Has anyone suggested the possibility of Tesla creating a parking area adjacent to superchargers where an autopilot valet mode would select a car based on first come first serve ranking. Then the car would be moved to the next available charger and top off the battery (or have the choice option...

Tesla would not likely be involved. Presumably you would receive an invoice when your car is purchased (or delivered- when the sale is final) You would then apply that $7,500.00 to your federal tax liability the year of your purchase. You could deduct this (apply the credit) from you tax...

Just a few more SC's for a nonstop from LA to NYC via Indianapolis.

This is a welcome addition for New York City to Los Angeles. Two additional places to add SC to the route would be Mt. Vernon, IL (I 64 & I 55) and near Evansville IN (intersection of I 64 and US 41 or I 69) This would link to new SC in Louisville, KY and Cincinnati, OH as well as...

A better plan. Tesla hires someone to manage SuperCharger manufacture, distribution, and site acquisition management who can get the job done on time. Take a few electrical engineers, put them in a room to design a unitized SC< Set aside an unused space in Fremont and create an assembly line to...

While no location is perfect for everyone, it strikes me that a better SC location might be just over the river in downtown Jeffersonville. It is close to the intersections of 65. 64 and 71. The bridge improvements surely will be completed in the next six month (but don't quote me :-) ) and I...

Where can I find the Louisville SC posts? I would like to suggest that Jeffersonville IN would be a good location a mile or so north of the intersection of interstate 65 (north south), 64 (east west) and 71 (north east to/from Cinci)

Perhaps with a trailer hitch and you could tow the kayaks.

OK, I would focus more on finding ways to make it work and not on why it might not. Actually, I envisioned these to be permitted in areas where larger installations were not viable for current demand or financial reasons. And why would any municipality not want to help already established...

After reading various threads about the progress of SuperChargers in the US I thought there might be a solution using temporary portable units that could be built on an assembly line and transported on semi trailers to a destination in NA. After reading some more posts I discovered that Tesla...

Or you might buy a simple small 12V trickle charger at Harbor Freight or one of the auto parts places or even eBay or Amazon.

Looks like you can make it from Sweet Home Chi caga via Lafayette, Naptown, Lexington to London (196 miles) and onto Chattanooga (206 miles), thence in a southerly direction to Atlanta and on down to Port St. Lucie or even Margaritaville.

I am wondering why London, KY is listed under CHANGES (Jan 22, construction) but there is no entry under DATA with a link to the thread? Thanks.

110v can kill you too. If you are smart you always turn off the main breaker in the service entrance (panel). Then 220 is safe too if you work safely - rubber shoes or mat to stand on, if on concrete. Keep tools, wires, fingers etc. out of the panel or in contact with bare wires. Even...

Not sure about a HPWC but there are new superchargers in Indianapolis IN and Lexington KY

Would someone please explain to me what HPWC stands for? Thanks.

Does anyone have any information about SC in London, KY?
