Safe travels all you long distance drivers. Some more weather supposed to be rolling through tonight. I really hope it isn't impacting to your travels (less worried about what the Model S can do and more worried about all the crazy drivers around you)

For some perspective for out of towners visiting us this weekend, the first picture is from yesterday morning. The second is from this afternoon. I didn't touch the car - only shoveled around it. Getting excited!
The roads are very clear--and, indeed, mostly dry--around Arlington now, though some side streets are still waiting for plows and street parking may be blocked by drifts.
Ironically, I may have more trouble charging for this than most long-distance attendees. The county doesn't plow my alley, and until the snow melts enough for me to get the car back there, I am limited to a sad NEMA 5-20 outlet on my front yard light pole.

Smooth sailing down I95 to Washington DC!
Was there really a snowstorm on Thursday?
I arrived at the event hotel in Arlington, VA safe and sound - in 50 degree weather no less! All the roads were dry and wide open for the trip -- I almost opened the pano roof!
So excited for @TeslaRoadTrip 2014 !!!

Looking forward to it. Either way its going to be fun to meet the other owners and finally do a handshake verses the local Tesla Wave.
Agreed. I can't make all the events, but I'm looking forward to tonight's reception.

To Lanny & Aaron and the rest of the volunteer organizing staff - my hats off to you for a well done, professional, and fun event! Two comments for next year: Don't repeat the traffic backup we created while trying to organize folks two by two to drive across the Memorial Bridge. Let's try to figure another way to get folks lined up earlier (or do this photo opp somewhere else). Second, instead of the game we did after dinner where folks could shout out a little known fact about the Model S, why don't we have folks email in suggestions that are read throughout the evening and anyone can answer. No prizes are needed - this is all about who knows' their Tesla best! (BTW, I would volunteer to be the one to put this together for next year's event!) Jim
jthompson,
Thank you too, Jim, for your early support and help kicking this off at our first organizing meeting in January. I'm happy to hear you and others sharing suggestions and tweaks we can make for next year, because that must mean lots of you want to do it again next year. :smile:
That's the ultimate proof of the success of this event!
Lanny
