    Any danger reported from indoor charging anywhere?

    NYC is on board with this too. NYC Law To Make 20 Percent Of New Parking Spaces Electric-Car Ready The condo board is just being ridiculous. I'd sell the condo before I'd sell the car.

    Tesla Supercharger network

    Not sure if this has been posted but it looks like a Supercharger is going to be located at the Savannah airport. http://savannahnow.com/exchange/2013-11-30/tesla-build-charging-station-airport#.UptGvVWzKpg

    Where is the new Supercharger going to be in NJ ? Any confirms?

    Tesla should install it at the Thomas Edison rest stop just because it's the Thomas Edison rest stop. I love the irony!

    How Did You Hear About the Model S?

    I've always wanted an EV but was disappointed with the lack of range, style, and availability of most EV's. Never thought about it much beyond that until February when I saw an article on CNN's website about the bad review that the New York Times gave the Model S. I spent the next week...

    The 40 kWh Model S was discontinued to increase the distance inbetween Superchargers.

    My Hyundai Sonata has a 18.5 gallon tank. I can easily get 400 miles of city driving and 500 miles of highway driving on a tank of gas.

    Unplugged by another S owner...

    Wow, I never would have thought there was this much drama with EV charging. It's clear that we need more public charging stations. This thread is discouraging and I'm actually reconsidering my purchase. I rarely encounter lines at the gas pump and I expect the same at the charger.

    Fast Vs Free Poll - A poll to understand usage patterns for SCs and Battery swaps

    I doubt that most users will use battery swaps on a regular basis. I guess it'll be nice to have the option just to get you out of a jam. Wireless charging would be much more beneficial and could be used to alleviate the hurdles that urbanites have with EV ownership. Just imagine if we could...

    Another positive Consumer Reports article

    I'm constantly amazed by the shortsightedness of the naysayers. Are we blind to the fact that we have fought wars, lives have been lost, and every year we spend billions of dollars to protect our oil interests overseas? Once we factor this in it's clear that the REAL cost of a gallon of gas is...

    Thanks for the map. I frequently drive from Pennsylvania to Tennessee via I-81 in Virginia so it's disappointing to see that there are no SC's planned along this route. I'd like to see SC's at the following locations: Strasburg, VA where I-81 hooks up with I-66. Staunton or Lexington, VA...

    Path to widespread adoption
