Title: ..aiming to set a new Guinness World Record,..
Post by Deathridesahorse on Feb 2^nd, 2014 at 4:30am

While it's been possible to drive across the U.S. in an electric car for a long time, until recently it was impossible to do if you wanted to only charge at Supercharger stations, and thus get across the continent as fast as possible, since nothing right now is close to being as fast. At 12:01 AM this morning, two electric Model S sedans left Los Angeles and will try to reach New York City in about 3 days, aiming to set a new Guinness World Record for "lowest charge time for an electric vehicle traveling across the United States."

What is progress again??

C'mon people: it's time to discuss, "What is progress" as all the negative tripe from the corporate media will destroy us if we don't start switching on for our kids...afterall, don't they deserve it?

;) ;)

The map above shows Tesla's planned stations for 2015, with 98% of the US population and parts of Canada covered. More details on the Supercharger expansion plans here.

What's happening with the 90 second change out option?

When does the clock start; the moment you turn off,
