update: 5:00PM, breaker reset, I am finishing my charge on this unit (left), set at 80A, no issue so far.

How was the group drive? Photos?

How was the group drive? Photos?

The group drive was awesome! 2 Roadsters and 23 Model S's. No view from the top though.
Well represented with cars from Syracuse, NY, White Plains, NY, Montreal, VT, etc.

I am going to leave the photos for people who had real cameras and popped out of the sun roof on the way up.

We hiked Arethusa Falls with @aaron and @cinergi on Saturday instead of Sunday.
Sunday was a rolling party as about 15 of us ate lunch in N. Conway after the drive and then later
the party rolled on to the Hookset supercharger.

I saw some nice pictures on TeslaRoadTrip's Twitter feed.

Here's some fast motion and slide video, up and down Mount Washington.
I believe they're were nearly 30 Teslas, which means that, coming down, they regenerated nearly 1000 miles of range in 17 minutes: enough to drive halfway across the country:

Enjoy- was a GREAT Day.

(Moderators, I cross-posted to "videos", which of course you can move and cross-reference here as you should wish. Many thanks)

Thanks for posting this Jim!

I think there were 2 Roadsters and 23 Model S's but @Bhuwan would know best.

That is correct!

I'll be sure to recalculate my complex mathematical re-generative mileage numbers above when I have the exact number of Teslas confirmed by a third-party...

Great video and looks like a great event. Looking forward to participating in such events once my Model S shows up ...

 

[ModelS1079]

david, when does your car arrive?

Are there any plans for doing something like this when the snow thaws in 2016? I take delivery of my Model S in about a week and the first thing I thought was what a shame it was I was going to have to wait until spring to take it up to the top of Mt. Washington.

Every two years has been our schedule but you're welcome to join the MeetUp group and organize an event!

So, it's coming up on two years since the last time. Any group interest in Mount Washington this summer, or am I going alone?

A fall foliage tour along the Kancamagus Highway (Lincoln to Conway) would be fun, too (and easy, with the Lincoln Supercharger).

There is always interest

You might want to consider making contact with RiverWalk management at Loon Mountain. Prior to the Lincoln SC opening my friend at NHEC mentioned that they were interested in a future dedication event. It shouldn't be any factor, but at the time I recall he said Tesla offered encouragement, but perhaps would be too busy to participate. Good luck, any activities outside the drive will help to generate interest.

It has been so long, I feel like it's time we should do this again!

Labor Day weekend?

 

[EVTuning]

Labor Day weekend?

We will be there if you're planning on doing this again. Also what is this meetup group I heard about?!!

 

[EdA]

Not sure I have the cycles to pull of setting the Labor Day event up.

Here's the meetup group: New England Tesla Motors Club (Boston, MA)

Labor Day weekend?

Why wait until the end of summer?

I had actually hoped to do it this past weekend myself, but it didn't happen. Was longing for more mountain roads after returning from the Black Hills near Custer SD, and an aborted attempt to traverse Trail Ridge Road in Colorado on my return (they hadn't quite finished plowing it yet - closed 11 miles in).
