Just in case anyone is going solo to the the Mexican restaurant, there are two Berthas in Reno, the one close to the museum is at 336 Mill Street.

I'll by staggering out of my hotel room soon... so I missed breakfast and the Supercharger dedication. Would love to catch up with you all for technical sessions/hangout after the museum. Can someone post as to when that might be?

 

[HankLloydRight]

Sure

 

[Nvbob]

Here's a couple of photos from the Mexican restaurant. They didn't come out as well as I expected.

 

[Nevek]

Here are a couple more shots from the lunch/museum. Only Ingineer travels with his own portable Tesla display!*

*I suppose they are all portable but usually there is a car attached.

Thanks for sharing pics! Can anyone offer a comparison to the Antique Automobile Club of America's museum in Hershey, PA? http://www.aacamuseum.org/
I've been there and I recommend a visit. It's a short drive from the Harrisburg Supercharger and they have two HPWCs out front.

Disclaimer: I owned a Delorean for 15 years(not gold though). Sold it to buy the Model S.

Never seen one so shiny! And the lighting makes it look gold - automatically doubles value ;-)

It was gold! It was one of three 24-carat gold plated Deloreans sold as part of an AMEX promotion for $100,000 each in 1982. That's roughly $250,000 today. Or in Elon terms, 20,833 hamsters.

Wow, that is a perfect candidate for a full Electric conversion

The Museum is very impressive...very deep & broad collection of many important cars since the horseless carriage was invented. Very glad I made time to join the crowd...

 

[Ingineer]

Yes, I liked the Museum a lot. I was surprised how large their collection was and how wide the dates spanned.

I've been to both the Reno and Hershey museums. Both good but the Reno museum is way more special. Also must see museums are the Gilmore in MI, the Blackhawk in CA east of the Bay area, and the ACD museum in Auburn, IN.
