I confess! That was me. The guys at the market said they'd never seen a Tesla, so I brought mine around to show them. We talked about the M3 for a bit, and they told me about the incredibly low cost of local hydropower. Between 2 and 3 cents per kWh, if I recall correctly.

Hah! I was driving by and was going to stop and take some pics but figured whoever that was is taking care of that
I agree that there is much left to do. Two weeks from now would be surprisingly fast, even though this phase went quickly. My wild-eyed guess would be 3-6 weeks, although I've seen sites sit much longer waiting for the utility transformer to arrive. I suspect this PUD will be more responsive than the big California utilities, but they may not have the necessary transformer sitting in their inventory.
It’s 3c per kWh, yes. Plus all green, predominantly hydro from Rocky Reach dam and a few crazy people with Solar contributing
. If you’ve never done the Rocky Reach dam tour, it’s good. Not as huge as Grand Coulee, though impressive nonetheless.
Nice updates, thanks.

Dan’s market is great, and so much nicer than Safeway imo. Prices are remarkably similar, though more due to Safeway being inflated for tourists.
Btw although the 2 west from Leavenworth has impressive views of the Wenatchee river, if you fancy some variety or more fun driving, you might wish to try the Chumstick Highway immediately oppositethe 2 from here. It rejoins the 2 after going through small town called Plain (where you can check out Plain hardware and the Old Mill cafe).
The Grand Coulee laser show is very good, yes. I thought @JackA and folk had gotten charger install near Grand Coulee now, though can’t immediately find the link, and http://www.pluginncw.com/high-amperage-level-2-charging-network/ I believe is out of date(?)I think the Rocky Reach Dam tour is a better experience overall than the Grand Coulee Dam tour. Rocky Reach lets you go at your own pace, doesn't have security people breathing down your neck constantly and has interesting things like the fish ladder and beautiful landscaping. The best part of the Grand Coulee tour is the opportunity to go to the center of the dam and look over the edge, although that is closely supervised and you're driven there on a bus. Plus, Grand Coulee doesn't have a charging station! Oh - Grand Coulee's laser show at night is really neat.
We rented a Model S P85 a couple of years ago and drove from Bellingham to Grand Coulee and back. We charged at various Plug-In NCW sites along the way and had a fantastic trip.
