I took a 2000 mile trip up the East coast in August, up to Quebec city and many other stops. Having family with made the charging part of supercharging easier. Every single supercharging stop it took my family longer to do their thing and get back in the car than the required charging took! This surprised me and at the first stop I'd set the charge limit to a bit more than needed for the next leg so the car stopped charging even though there was more room in the battery and it was plugged in. I just didn't think it would take over 20 minutes for what was only a bathroom break but it took the family longer. So I learned that lesson and ever after set the limit to full.You clearly don't travel with a family...
Up in arms? Not here!Before anyone gets up in arms, none of the super chargers we stopped at were more than half full and most times we were the only car there.

I can relate. My kids like to stop, they get snacks, they get to run around, and a lot of the time the car is ready before me.I took a 2000 mile trip up the East coast in August, up to Quebec city and many other stops.

What size battery do you have and what kind of buffer do you charge to? I have a 90D and found the chargers are better spaced for a 60 or 70 than a larger battery in most places. On my one road trip to California thus far I found I had to make extra stops because most superchargers are too far apart to skip one, but too close together for a larger battery to go efficiently.
However with the larger battery it meant I could spend a shorter time charging at each stop. I played it conservatively and charged a bit more than needed, but many stops were only 15-20 minutes if the supercharger was working right. I got stuck longer at some California SpCs that were running slow. It would also mean about 10 minutes off the highway getting to and from the SpC in a lot of cases, but on a 600 mile leg I spent around 8 1/2 hours driving and about 2 - 2.5 charging or otherwise off the highway. Most of the wasted time charging was dealing with slow superchargers at Harris Ranch, Manteca, and a bit slow at Corning.
It would be interesting to get hard data on this, but I can easily believe Tesla owners in CA outnumber those in every other state put together.
I was starting to say there's got to be something wrong with those numbers - the all other states is less than the what you get by adding the first four of the other breakouts - but after going to the site, I understand. The "All other" is everything except the 10 shown.
This is probably the version of that chart you wanted - which shows that California is about equal to the entire rest of the US:

Oops, you are spot on. I greatly misread the chart. In my defense, it is an odd way to display/label the "all other states" data.
Reminds me of this.It absolutely is an odd way to assemble things, and having the all others in line with the rest (and therefore right under California) certainly encourages misreading. They also pick their breakouts oddly. Michigan isn't the next highest after New Jersey, and also isn't the lowest. I have no idea why it is special in their chart. (by going to 11 you learn that Mass has 3060 sales, and by going to 50 you learn that North Dakota has 27.)
I'd say that data easily allows the possibility that CA Tesla sales outnumber those in every other state.I was starting to say there's got to be something wrong with those numbers - the all other states is less than the what you get by adding the first four of the other breakouts - but after going to the site, I understand.

if I am not mistaken GA eliminated the $5k tax credit and also instituted a $250 per year surcharge to EV registrationsI was about to say he was looking at that first graph incorrectly. It's interesting to see Georgia as the #2 state for EV sales. I think the $5k tax credit that we have since phased out helped with that originally. That was the reason I bought my Leaf. Between the $7,500 federal tax credit and the $5,000 state tax credit, my two year lease on my Leaf cost me right at $2,400 including all taxes and fees, etc.
well it is NBC, can you say fake news site?Reminds me of this.
It's a local television news station. Don't get your conspiratorial panties in a bunch.well it is NBC, can you say fake news site?
