    Supercharger - Bethany, MO

    KC Service Center also confirmed that they sent someone up from their center to activate the Bethany Supercharger on Monday. He said it should only take a couple of days to do that part. May be up sooner based on this info.

On the way back went the same with 1/3 of the way at 67mph and 11 miles to spare. Little warmer coming back at the start of the trip out of KC...

    Semi in West Des Moines, IA heading back west

    It has a trailer while making the rounds to future customers. It had to unhook to get close enough to the Supercharger. They said they use the trailer when making runs between the Freemont Factory and Gigafactory 1.

    Semi in West Des Moines, IA while I was charging my Model S

    The only thing that may be newsworthy is that this is one of only two active prototypes. They were making the rounds to future customers but couldn't share who they had visited. That is about it for new info that I hadn't heard before.

    Advice needed..

    The only reason I would go with the premium pkg. is for the improved exterior lighting. I find my standard lighting doesn't do the greatest job on the highway in heavy rain. Others will have to chime in to let you know if the improved lighting helps in these conditions. I went with the...
