    FWIW, the Tesla representative asked me what routes I usually drove on trips.
    They asked me that too; I think they were all told to ask that question. I said westbound, because going east I can get to Philly or NY within 300 miles, there are already public chargers up and down the eastern seaboard, and I can take public transportation in the Eastern seaboard cities anyway; but westbound, I have to drive (no good alternatives) and there are no chargers of any sort.

    I m wondering if Tesla will have a supercharger operating at the Freemont test drives. That would be a very cool demo, and a way to make the throughput practical.

    Bumping this old topic with your post.

    Not at the October event, but they did SuperCharge at the test drive event.

    From this post: Get Amped Tour, Fremont, 6/23-24

    The white rack is the SuperCharger, but pure a technical demo, not anything it will represent in the future.

    Beefy cable btw, also fun to see how the connector did change

    Wouldn't it be the grey box behind the fridge? Against the wall!

    My question is, if they white box is not a refrigerator, then why is there an umbrella and chair by it? Pictures of where the charging cable is attached, would solve the mystery.
    Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from a rigged demonstration.

    A quick observation about the beefy cable...
    It reminds me of gas stations.

    It's, comparatively from the looks, about the size of the roadster's HPC cable.

    I asked if I could get a tour and take photos of the Supercharger yesterday. I was told that "It was not ready for public viewing" I tried!!!
