I presume the costs include general admission to the show for the weekend?

No idea! Best ask Nico Decurtins from Tesla Zürich.

I have got my tickets already ( from Renault... )

Yes, but the route is probably not correct. I have already contacted them because of that.

I guessed so, a bit too much highway only for a beautiful roadtrip

can anyone recommend a hotel in Brussels with EV charging?

I posted a reference over on the charging thread. Tesla had used a hotel pic on their website to promote the store opening in Eindhoven, so pretty certain it must have charging!. That is the Chateau du Lac in Genval just outside Brussels. Beautiful hotel, haven't been there for a few years but it used to be reasonable pricing.

If you stop there, try out the restaurant L'Amusoir (in Waterloo, just a couple miles down the road) for some of the best "Steak Frites" in Belgium.

Am I missing somebody?

I just managed to get a room around the corner at the Crowne Plaza at half the Tesla rate.

Am I missing somebody?

Ok, I need some straight advice here guys. This trip is nearly about to happen for me, but:
a) I think I am coming from the furthest away location (1400kms each way) taking at least 3 days and 6 full charge cycles in each direction
b) This is a week I need to dedicate to driving instead of being with my family or business

So, is it worth it? I want to make sure Spain is on the the electric map, but is it going to achieve anything? If there is going to be some actual result in the way of awesome red-carpet attention from Tesla (no sign of that so far), or good press coverage then I am up for it, but if I am just Roadster #29 of 30 I doubt it really matters if I do this or not. After all, its not like the first time anyone has driven through Spain to Northern Europe (Eberhard did that a while back).

I just want to know if it is worthwhile or not guys... I will be there on Friday but I can fly there on Friday morning and return Saturday morning, or I can drive there leaving Tuesday morning and get back home Monday evening.

I'd appreciate feedback
