    Recreating the NY Times Road Trip - Feb 15-17, 2013

    Anyone interested in recreating the NYT's road trip, minus the detour? I imagine several owners have already made similar trips along I-95, but how about some Coffee and Eggs at Butch's and a group photo to show Tesla our support? I think it would be fun, and vindicating.

    Anyone interested?

I've set up a Twitter page for all of you to follow us on. We'll be posting pictures and @PureAmps is setting up some of our cars to tweet along the trip!

    Great idea. I'm thinking Tesla should do it in the exact same vehicle. With a different NYT reporter. Not Jayson Blair.

    I just sent an email to Tesla's press team, asking if we could get the same car for an NYT Road Challenge. If they do it, I'll take a red eye from CA to sign for the car and join the convoy! Would love to be part of this.

    I would love to if I were in the area.
    I would recommend doing with the detour. If the reporter had charged full, and not 'preconditioned' the battery without it being plugged in, I think he would have been just fine.

    I would like to see a convoy of Teslas set out on the trip together. Too bad there aren't enough Superchargers for that.
