    This trip predated the 3.0 upgrade, and the distance from our homes at various locations around the San Francisco Bay Area to Yosemite Valley was near 200 miles and uphill, so that was beyond comfortable range and without any charging opportunity in the valley. So instead we made it a three-day road trip. We gathered in Livermore for brunch and then drove to a campground and hotel on Hwy 120 about 37 miles from the valley. We charged there overnight, then the next day drove into and around Yosemite and back to the campground for another overnight recharge. The third day we drove home.

    The extra excitement on this trip was that we blew the old transformer at the campground with our charging load (although it seemed like that would be less load than a campground full of air conditioners in the summer). PG&E came in the middle of the night and replaced it with a bigger one so we were able to finish charging.

    Indeed, a topless electric vehicle is perfect for driving in Yosemite. My wife and I repeated the trip by ourselves in 2018. This time with the 3.0 battery and with a Destination Charger at the Ahwahnee we could go directly there, spend a day or two, and then drive directly home.

    Inaugural trip back to SF after having picked up my Roadster in LA, almost 2 years ago.
    Completely random meeting of a red Roadster and his friendly owner on 17-Mile-Drive in Carmel on my way back home.

    One of many, many photos (as my camera roll is 90% Roadster). Here is VIN 1462 in the middle of our 2,200 mile round-trip adventure to from Dallas to Albuquerque, up to southwest Colorado, up to Red Rocks, and back. This particular photo was taken on US 550 N in Ouray, CO.

    It rained on my delivery day 4/2/2009, resulting in this image which was used by the Seattle store for a while thereafter.

    How many of those roadsters were built? What is the 0-60 in those cars?
