First look at the Supercharger?

[sp4rk]

So sticking with the "Best Western" theme I looked up Barstow. On E Main St right off I15 is a Best Western in Barstow and on that road there seems to be many different restaurant options. Seems like another excelent location. I called and reception had no clue about a charging location.:crying:

Do you think that maybe ... just maybe ... your having stalked like this and Tesla caught wind ... that they should have signed an NDA with the hotel, that they probably called the other locations and indeed told them to "shutup". I would have.

Just let them do their thing and we'll find out soon enough.

Jeez.

Where's the fun in that? :wink:

Didn't you hear? It remains 'cloaked' until a Model S gets near...

Actually, it looks transparent in the illustration (and it looks like it turns your car transparent, too) :smile:

Fortunately we don't have to wait for long now anyway, live stream too. Hope it works better this time.

11 PM EST, and with their stream history... I'll just read the recaps on twitter/blogs (and here of course)

And, they are apparently doing this at the dark, noisy Hawthorne design studio venue. If it's anything like the Model X launch, then, there's not much to see (or that can be seen!) except maybe Bill Nye, The Science Guy

A daytime reveal at an actual supercharger site would have been nice but, probably not as cool as throwing a party (which they do quite well)

Still smarting from that one

You could add a spinning-wheel unit too. The humming would be nice in that otherwise silent environment.

Me thinks there are many Pastafarians on this site...

Arr, my brother! The pirates are the chosen ones and today (9/19) is their day! :wink:

You say stalking, I say sleuthing. Tomato Tamato.

Aye me hearties. Yon S is for Swash, just waiting to be buckled, and X marks ye spot.

 

[Bradleybang]

Me reserves an X but owns an Rrrr.
Ok, its the 20th and game is over

Elon on Bloomberg TV: musk-tesla-to-open-100-supercharger-stations

 

[Robert.Boston]

My hearing of the Bloomberg interview: "fully over 100 Superchargers" that will allow driving "anywhere in the country" and "eventually anywhere in the world." That works.

Yep, though I'm sure that 100 is over a fairly long period. I wouldn't be surprised if the goal is the 100 (full country coverage) by the time the Gen 3 is ready, that way the true mass market car has the necessary supporting infrastructure. For Model S folks, it'll just be some key corridors at first.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Does no one at Tesla know what the "S" stands for in "PST"? Come on guys, are you really on Standard Time? Obviously you're on Daylight Savings Time. It's "PDT" this time of year.

8:00 PM PST = 9:00 PM PDT

 

[efusco]

Is there any more to the interview?

> Los Angeles will riot if there is not a SuperCharger in Barstow. [CapitalistOppressor]

Nah, do it further out in Baker. By then the fear of rotting in the desert sun is palpable & the coins go right into the slot.

I've coasted into Baker on fumes & kissed the ground as I tumbled out of the Econoline.
