Supercharger station

A
Tesla Model S electric vehicle has today, completed an east-to-west crossing of the United States. Fuel cost to the drivers was zero, using the barely-complete
Tesla Supercharger network.
"Barely-complete", in that speeds had to be restricted early in the trip to stretch range, & not all of the
Supercharger stations were completed when the journey began, but came on line in time to allow the trip to continue. Coverage by the driver (myfastlady@aol.com) & others at:
