Ten days and one thousand miles after delivery, I decided to go 300 miles round trip. I filled to maximum over night. I drove around town to work. I drove 50 miles of site. Plugging into a fifty foot 12 gauge extension 110 volt for 6 hours gave the Tesla 20 extra ideal miles. I then drove conservatively to pick up my daughter from Purdue for the holiday. She loved the car. Slacker radio was the best as she liked it more than her Pandora.
Research on the prior day had revealed five chargers on campus (none near her dorm). There was also a charger downtown near several restaurants which had no reviews. After passing it once, we found the charger. They gave it a special spot smaller than all the other parking spaces. The press release picture shows a Think City proudly being charged. Luckily it was after 6 pm and the garage was nearly empty.
We ate a leisurely meal and I was happy to see 40 more miles. This led to spirited driving back home. I have never gone as fast in a car previously. It was effortless. In fact I did not realize how fast I was going until I looked down. The passing was so fast that people getting even the slowest version of the Model S will not be disappointed.
I am now a Model S Road Warrior veteran.
