Greetings. I hit my one month anniversary and want to provide some positive feedback. 2,150 miles without a hiccup. The Milford supercharger has been great. I've used it for two business trips to CT and one family trip to Philly and back. Range anxiety is now gone and I've upped my avg speed to 70-75 and averaging below 350whr/mile w a p85 and 21" wheels. I make sure to call tesla before heading out to make sure the supercharger is working and have two/three backup charging alternatives.
Love that. Nothing better. And did you mention - thoses are (net) solar miles, no net fossil fuel impact. So drive as far and as fast as you (safely) want.

1,401.1 mile road trip. Car performed perfectly.
Can you road trip in a Tesla Model S?
So, what can you do with a Model S and couple of Superchargers?
Leave Boston and Massachusetts and cruise on solar powered miles south through eight states, Greenwich Village and Times Square and the Upper East East Side of New York City, Camp on the coast of Maryland while your Model S enjoys the company of wild horses, see the Orioles play at Camden Yards, Tour Gettysburg (actually, you too can hand your key to a 70-year-old tour guide and let him drive your Tesla for over two hours), buy used Cowboy boots for $15 from the nicest guy in Maryland and maybe on Earth, let shotgun play guitar from music displayed on the touchscreen, keep dirty clothes and dishes in the frunk, store a week's worth of camping equipment, food, clothes in the trunk, meet a kind Tesla owner for dinner in Connecticut, meet another kind Tesla owner for a ukulele-guitar duet in Delaware, meet yet another kind Tesla owner by random chance in a town of 3000 in rural Maryland and charge at his house, and you can do it to an amazing 22-hour soundtrack courtesy of Slacker, leave your window open overnight in a gale wind and let your Tesla fill up with sand while you cook T-Bone steaks over an open fire, and you can do it all for under $100 including all fuel and lodging.
Of the 1,400 miles, approximately 1000 were Supercharger, Solar-powered miles.
