It's is truly amazing that Flat Stanley is still traveling and visiting Superchargers around the globe. You are all an amazing group of friends.

Yeah, but you're gonna LOVE year 11! and 12. and 13. and 14...

Well planned! Sadly, I laughed out loud too.

Now you're just trying to whip us up into a frenzy. :) I like the creative thinking, but I think that is a stretch for an OTA update.

The locations show up in navigation or an app.

I think it's noteworthy that this is a scheduled press announcement -- suggesting Elon wants the media present/listening. Many of the ideas speculated here would be handled silently in a software update, email to owners, or a blog post on TeslaMotors.com. So we want the media to take notice and...

What do Longs do Now? I, my wife, and our son's ESA have been long since $28. We're overweight. (Well, a tad bit in more ways than one.) We don't do leaps, puts, calls, bridges or backbends. We bought more early today. Call us crazy.

Yuma Supercharger -- A Strange Location, and Not Much To Do Weekend roadtrip from Phoenix to a regional swim meet in Yuma (for my son, not me). Perfect opportunity to check off two more AZ superchargers, Gila Bend and Yuma. Gila Bend was the typical Carl's Jr. installation at the extreme west...

It will never happen. Please tell your friends and colleagues, to look into this and if motivated, chime in.

I wrote to all 16 representatives today. Here's the reply I got from Representative Jay Lawrence: I guess we know where he stands. His email address is [email protected] and his phone number is 602-926-3095. Feel free to let him know how you really feel. - - - Updated - - - Oh, and that...

Yep. And now I'm trying to figure out what caused that bump up.

Thanks, araxara. This is cool. I believe AZ is well ahead of most other areas globally in Superchargers per capita, but still, this would be great. And we only have to wait 24 months to see how it pans out. :)

My thoughts as well. The tool and the vision were/are amazing. I donated every time I planned a trip with it.

Next time shoot it with the license plate showing.

Dang, why can't they ALL come with a Brewery attached?!?

Hell, we have the same thing here in the U.S. with Geico! Don't get me started...

Thanks for the update and pictures. I wish they had started sooner -- I'd love to use this location in two weeks, but alas, we'll take a different route from Phoenix to San Diego.

Thanks, tamman34. I love the one of Flat Stanley sitting in the folding chair. My wife and son are actually headed on a road trip in two weeks and will probably hit 2 or three of those locations as well. If you don't mind me asking, did you recharge between San Juan Capistrano and Yuma?

Yes, they wrote, "crested" as in, "topped." Still room for higher numbers.

Be cautious when using the term, "super car." Elon has eluded to wanting to make a "super car" in the past, but it is not a reference to a Model S with or without AWD. I think an AWD option for Model S is more likely to come with the "refresh" whenever that happens. Or, it could just show up one...

There is geothermal everywhere... if you dig deep enough.

Simplistic answer, wind still works after sunset. We can debate the cost/benefit, but one fact remains, wind is 24x7 to some , ehem, degree. (no pun intended.)

@Curt Renz, so to what degree are you hinting?

I have no audio either.

Spike might be due to this, just hit my IN box: 7 reasons Tesla’s stock is headed higher - MarketWatch

Fools.

Good one!

I'm no engineer. I confess, I'm solidly rooted in advertising and marketing (which is of little use to Tesla as of yet). So my rationale is I'm an expert in trends, behavioral analysis, and making people buy something they don't need or cannot afford... hence Tesla hasn't needed to hire me or...

Geico has a TERRIBLE history of NOT paying repair claims in full on Teslas. I know of three other Model S owners who have had significant issues with them here in AZ. I currently have a case pending with the Arizona Department of Insurance. The issue is, they will only pay, "prevailing wage" on...

Hey Mark, we're planning on it. Some combination of Anthony, Jill & Cruz.

I had a Solar City lease and ended up moving within the first year. :( They have a very smooth process for a lease transfer to the new home buyer. It was pretty simple for all parties. Of course, it does require educating the new buyer on the system benefits, lease obligation, and they have to...

Good to see Flat Stanley still alive and traveling.

Fantastic! (Finally.) Thread revived -- for the newcomers, can you recap the details?

Not so good if you live in Arkansas. :smile:

Yes, send me a private message with your email address and I'll send you a PDF. (The Sharefile link populated throughout this thread is long expired.)

My wish, for us all, is to have it arrive in quantity a year sooner rather than another year delayed.

@HankLloydRight, I'm likely stating the obvious here, but be sure your spreadsheet accounts for changes in time zones between Super chargers. And time of year also matters, since we here in Arizona don't observe Daylight Savings Time. Your Travel Time needs to account for that weirdness.

Thanks, Lycanthrope. Flat Stanley lives on. Super charging is a blast, isn't it? Flat Stanley project update. The Flat Stanley display boards have been in the Scottsdale service center for the past. I'm told they are quite popular with the walk-in traffic. And I believe an owner visiting from...

Ironic too that it will be at a gasoline station!

The map was printed last Wednesday with all the locations at that point. He put red stars on the map on the Flat Stanley board to mark the Supercharger locations that Flat Stanley visited. There were 80 superchargers total when he started the project. - - - Updated - - - Our son did his Tesla...

The project is more about the Model S, how it works, and how it charges, and only about 40% about Flat Stanley. Last year his kindergarten project was also about Tesla, and ended with a video with his whole class (all 16 kids) fitting into the Model S. Once Tesla and Elon tweeted the link, the...

I completely agree. I had to suspend my "media bias", "P.R. bias," and "technically incorrect bias" and let a seven-year-old tell his story. Please understand, the requirements for this end-of-year project have some pretty specific parameters, and what our son is doing definitely stretches those...

Since our son's written report on the Model S is done, we can share that. It's definitely a first grader's perspective! We're still working on his big presentation for his class next week, as we already need a Plan B! All the Flat Stanley pictures we have don't fit on the largest presentation...

Lists on page one are updated. 78 superchargers U.S. and 11 Europe visited! The report is underway.

Flat Stanley deadline extended to tomorrow night, Monday May 5th. My wife and son will be having all the pictures printed Tuesday, so anything in by tomorrow night will be included in our son's report. My wife also wanted me to point out that she's already re-sized and cropped all the...

I'm just suspicious I'll spend a LOT of time this weekend cropping and resizing 80+ photos.

No harm, no foul. We're working on his final report this weekend, but there's still time for a few late additions if they come in. Regardless, it's been a success beyond our expectation, and a fabulous outpouring of support and participation from a great group of folks. We will definitely post...

Yeah, I agree. I appreciate the effort, but we're OK holding out for actual visits.
