After I placed an order for our 60D MX tesla was kind enough to let us barrow a 90D for the day, so we did what anyone close to a coast would do, we went to the beach :)

The total trip was about 200 miles, which in the 90D was no problem, however there were no superchargers on the route we took (granted there was one on a 20 mile detour which the nav chose as our initial route, but we forced it to take a better route so we wouldn't have to charge at all)

I wanted to know where I would charge in the event we needed to, but the pickings were slim; there was an RV Park, a restaurant and a couple public chargers that seem to cost $$

I am a frugal person, when we get our MX we will likely route via superchargers, however I know that won't always work, can we talk a little bit about charging experiences?

When you have to use an RV Park what is the typical scenario, do you talk with someone first or just pull and plug in?

When you use a restaurant or destination charger do you have to eat or sleep there? or is it acceptable to charge and dash (I'm assuming it's not but wanted to say charge and dash for fun )

When you use the public chargers are they usually free or is there a cost, if so how much.

Is charging ever awkward, inconvenient or expensive?

Id also love to talk about funny and unusual experiences, I'm expecting that our MX will get us out of the house more often and would love to hear about your fun charging stops

(in case you're wondering, we didn't leave a single grain of sand in the loaner, that would have been pretty rude. We treated the tesla like a quarantined zone, there were bags, body suites and even scary biohazard stickers involved )
