Hurricane....

One of my favorite things about my 3 is not having to deal with gas for my car.. and those lines. If only I had a Powerwall system set up I'd be less stressed

That could happen!

I'm in the same boat. Probably going to charge closer to 90-95% before the weekend is over and hope we don't get some kind of power outage down here.

The Powerwall is a tiny battery compared to the one in your car. You wouldn't have to worry about powering your house but if your car was low on juice, you're kinda screwed.

A small 2000w inverter generator, and a couple jerry cans of gas could come in handy. Some power for the fridge/freezer, lights, etc., and in a pinch you could charge up your Model 3. Though with better planning, you'd never let it come to that, you'd get out of Dodge, first.

Apart from trying to keep a good level of charge, think about where you park your car as far as water flooding. I remember some of the threads on this from last event. Be safe guys.

If I were in an area of the country that sees regular hurricane threats I would purchase a dual fuel generator. Many of the better quality generators even have a NEMA 14-50 outlet. If the power goes out then the gas station pumps won’t be operational. Best to go with propane fuel since it should still be accessible without power and unlike gasoline it has a nearly infinite shelf life.

Have you seen this 3000W battery powered power station from Ego? Can be used indoors.

Good luck fellow Floridians, especially those on the east coast!

It’s not that easy running from storms in Fl. If you look at the current NHC track, Dorian can hit just about anywhere in the entire state. Where are we gonna go?

And the peninsula is so long it takes many hours to drive the only way out.

Nah, gotta shelter in place in areas with no flood risk. But gas station lines are crazy here now. I am so happy to be able to just plug in Tess.

By the way, gas stations in Palm Beach County were required to install backup generators years ago to remain operating in the event of power outages. And supermarkets. Many did. We’ll see if they work.

Currently at Disney wondering if I’ll be missing my Model 3 for a few extra days due to this storm. Depends on how many flights get out on Sunday.

Yeah, the track will firm up the closer it gets...I used to have a home on the shore in Palm Coast. Luckily, no big storms headed our way while we were there. I didn't like our evacuation route up the A1A.
