I'm sitting here trying to wrap my mind around the concept of there being a Tesla charging station in, of all places, Guin, Alabama. Maybe a little further down the road in the comparatively bustling metropolis that is Winfield, but Guin?
Far out, man.

Yeah, it’s in the Holiday Inn in Guin. Who knew Guin had a Holiday Inn?

The only area we found fewer than ideal chargers was INSIDE Yellowstone…

This is an example of what separates Tesla’s network from the others. If you were using any other network, you wouldn’t be able to do this trip in a reasonable amount of time or with any reliability (due to the fewer chargers and lack of real-time data on their status, not to mention manually having to plan each segment of the trip).

Yup, I’m trying to time my Lyriq purchase to coincide with GM’s access to the Tesla network. When I placed my order I told the salesman I was buying now because of the Tesla-GM deal. If the timing doesn’t work out we’ll take our Volt on our trips until Supercharger access becomes available.

All 250kw chargers made the difference, projected trip time in a gas car with no stops was 13 hours, we made the trip in almost exactly 14 hours. The gap in time/convenience vs ICE is closing rapidly.
what guy?
I mean I guess these tests are "cool" and all, and maybe Im off base a bit, but who drives like this on the regular? My guess? 1% of peeps. Or cross country? .01%
And why not use an S vs any other tesla? 405 miles vs 320ish for everything else.
Whats the point? tesla was never billed as an interstate traveling machine...

High speed charging is the real deal. Road trip with my sons Bolt was annoying… 1 hour charge stops every 4 hours…
