I stopped at Dunkin Donuts and they have a Tesla Super Station so there was a Tesla charging and I went over to check it out. Very nice guy, I jumped in the passenger seat and he gave me the tour.

The computer screen is HUGE. Like two iPads. It has a map of every station, the next closest was 45 miles. At full charge the car goes about 300 miles. And no charge/free to fill.

So I guess you could drive cross country and pay nothing, although at times you may have to go out of your way to find a station. But they keep adding more and more.

This particular Super Station is right off the hi-way. Takes about 20 minutes from empty to full. Enough time to have a coffee and stretch your legs.

Crazy the technology today. The car does just about everything. Internet, so you can surf the web, monitors and calculates energy use, pretty impressive.

Anyway, when I jumped back on the hi-way I forgot about it only being 56/57 out. My tires, still cold, didn't like me throwing down the power. As I revved up 1st gear to only 5,000 RPMs and when I shifted into second I floored it. Caught me by surprise. I spun those tires, must of been doing close to 50, and all the bells and whistles started flashing.

I just kept the power on and looked where I wanted the car to go! I happened to be changing lanes as I floored it, so when the wheels started spinning there was a little extra sideways action.

Oh Yeah, that's a quick adrenaline shot! Yahoooooo![emoji33]
