The Page Ave. address is being used as overflow employee parking. I believe a shuttle runs regularly between the parking area and the factory. I wouldn't be surprised if the Page location is just a staging area for the event.

I'll be heading to the show as well. I'll post photos if there is anything of interest.

I'll bring them to the event.

I'll confirm with Solyndra tomorrow. I haven't charged there as I only live a few miles away. They are ChargePoint chargers. I'll post an update tomorrow. **Update: Unfortunately the four chargers at Solyndra are private and not available to the general public

I didn't see any at visitor parking earlier today. Their security team directed me to ask their corporate headquarters concerning availabity. We'll see if the invitation has additional detail. They're obviously on site. Fremont doesn't have a great charging infrastructure. The closest...

I purchased the battery replacement option. Peace of mind was the driving factor. I own another limited production vehicle and I'm always mindful of parts availability. I've seen price increases and limited availability of components since my car models production ended. There are usually...

I was thinking of a similar solution. A "Lasso Lock" is being marketed for kayak security, but should work if secured around the wheel. It would still require a clamp attached to the adapter. Not a perfect solution because the 8 foot cable is a bit long and I have no idea about the cable weight.
