Charged up the Tesla Model S today to 261 rated miles for trip to in-laws for Thanksgiving. Started off in Dallas, TX. Destination was 215 miles away in Edmond, OK.
Good day. Weather was cooperative. Temp mild and low wind etc. Still I quickly realized, I was not going to make it. Oklahoma is an EV desert. No Superchargers although apparently one in Denton, TX is in permitting.
With 12 miles to my destination remaining and only 13 miles of rated range left, I decided to quell my Kramer from Seinfeld exhilaration of making it to my destination on "fumes" and waive the white flag. I began working the Plugshare options which are few in OKC. My first choice was Onyx Theaters (@onyxtheaters) in OKC. I had read great things in blogs and Plugshare about the good folks at Onyx Theaters. I called Jenn, one of the terrific owners, and she said for me to come on in and they would take care of me which they did. Jenn and her husband are each Tesla owners, and they very much support the cause. The hospitality was tremendous. Not only did they let me charge my Tesla, but they also showed us their amazing showroom of home theater options. They even set us up in a movie theater room and played a movie for my son while we waited for my Tesla to charge.
I can't say enough about these great people. Definitely look them up if you find yourself traversing the EV desert of Oklahoma or if you live in the area and are in the market for a home theater. These are the type of people you know you can trust.
