I really like how these two SC locations are way way off in a far corner of the parking area... almost zero chance of ICEing and no curious people looking around -- Americans are way too lazy to walk that far from the service building to check out our cars. 
Also, more room for an organized waiting line if the SC is crowded. They need to make the Newark, DE SC like these -- far away from the main building. I think most Model S owners would be giddy to walk a few hundred extra feet to avoid chronic ICEing like in DE.

Yea but I've only been there a handful of times and people already drive out of there way to look at the cars and chargers and drive slowly past and even stop to talk and ask questions randomly. Also the dog walkers tend to huddle around the grass where the cars are.

How is that windshield mount working out for you? I tried one that I had used in my Prius but I can't seem to find a decent place in my MS to mount it that doesn't obstruct my visibility.

I use one for my job as an Uber driver. It's marvelous. Placement depends on your personal preference.
Also, I swear by this model. Best one I've ever encountered:

I have a RAM mount. It's always worked great but it's a little bulky. Plus there's really not a lot of space above the dash in the MS.
Do you run power to your phone? I prefer my phone mounted where yours is but draping a cable across the steering column has always been a problem.

Mine is mounted about two inches to the left of the mirror. It's easier to manipulate when it's that much closer to me. A USB charging cable dangles straight down and doesn't interfere with steering.

We're headed to OBX tomorrow but taking the ICE as we have two tandems on the roof. Even if I had gotten the pano roof for the rack points the drag would preclude the Salisbury to Corolla jump. Hope the sharks stayed away

Enjoy your stay!. Norfolk should make this easier in a few weeks. We stopped at the Nissan dealership chademo on the way down because we were unsure of destination charging, but it was unnecessary on the way back.
We used a 120v 15a outlet for charging at the house we rented which was plenty. Really not much driving required once you're out there.
It was my son's 3rd birthday Friday and my wife made cupcakes with shark fins on them.
nice.....did you just charge
90% on both stops? curious also to what rated mileage you get at 90% with range mode on.....and also what you get with 100%.
did you use more energy than expected?

I just set it to 100 and walked away. Traveling with 3 kids means the car is always ready to go before we are. First stop we needed 80% and left with 98%. This was at salisbury which is at a mall, but tucked away in a far corner of the lot, all the way across the mall from the food court. It's about 15 minutes of walking with the kids each way, plus time to eat lunch.
The second stop we only needed about 50% and left with 88%.
It would probably be faster overall to stop more times and charge to lower levels, but stopping for less than 30 minutes just isn't possible with kids.
Weather was good and temperatures mild, so we used less energy than projected.

Got it....nice....what is your rated range at 100% or 90%? Just curious if you ever even look at it
