I think the idea is that you use the superchargers as part of a meal stop that you would make with an ordinary car anyway. If you stop every X km with a regular car for breaks, and Tesla's network ensures you can always find a supercharger in these steps, you can stop, eat / refresh yourself and by the time you're done your car will be ready to make the next leg.
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoWhen was the last time you saw a supercharger in a fast food or restaurant parking lot? I live in a part of the Northeast where Teslas are very popular but I haven't seen one.
- Domenic_S 8y agoFrom memory - SLO, CA: Madonna Inn Atascadero, CA: Denny's parking lot, across the street from a sandwich shop, 5 minute walk from more Gilroy, CA: spitting distance of in-n-out, more in the same lot San Jose, CA: big shopping center with BJ's, Chili's, panda express, etc Someplace on the 5 between Kettleman city and LA: Subway parking lot This is literally just from memory of the ones where I've been. Perhaps it's worse in other parts of the country?
- willglynn 8y agoOn a drive from Chicago to Minneapolis: * Rockford IL is in the parking lot of a shopping mall with restaurants at the perimeter. * Madison WI (1) is in the parking lot of a shopping mall with restaurants at the perimeter. * Madison WI (2) is in the parking lot of a grocery store. * Mauston WI is in the back of a Culver's adjacent to a McDonald's. * Eau Claire WI is in the back of a commercial strip with a Panera Bread and… a noodle place?, with more restaurants across the street. * Oakdale MN is in the parking lot of a grocery store. Literally every stop I could make sells food.
- vsl 8y agoI’ve only recently seen a Supercharger that wasn’t (it had a passable gas station next to it, but that’s one level worse than a fast food).
