Batteries are not rated like fuel tanks. A "400 mile" battery (per mfr spec) is probably good for 300 miles after a couple of years. At freeway speeds, that's probably 200 miles. If your freeway limit is 200 miles, you need a way to recharge it after 150 miles or so. In other words, you...

When? 2012? I'm trying to figure if I should order a model-S. I was kinda hoping that the volume of roadsters hitting the streets before the model-S would drive the appearance of charging stations. So far that isn't happening. There are many things in the way. The present roadster...

Has someone started a project to map out locations of Tesla charging stations yet? If I want to take a long drive, I need to know where I can get a charge along the way. A few years ago the EV1 owners got really good at this. They convinced lots of places to install chargers, and they...

Will charging stations built for roadsters also be able to charge the sedan?
