And this is for Stephen Tremp:

We were up in Raleigh recently and came across a genuine Tesla! The woman said she loved it. You should’ve seen the display panel on the inside. And under the hood is all trunk space. (Battery in the back.) Very neat car, but not practical when you hit Eastern Carolina, as we have NO charging stations.

  1. As always, thanks for the great info. I hadn't heard about the Tesla car. With a name like that, it should be a car that transports you through time. Have a great weekend.

  6. Thanks for all the news, Diane. The Dark Crystal - is that MG? I'm always looking for good MG to read (because I really want to write it!).

    Nice little car :)

  8. Nice looking car. Not surprised about the charging stations. I wonder if the cost of power is similar to cost of gas.

    Got some good sites and news to look at. Contests and Dark Crystal? Really. Hmm Interesting.

  9. Wow, the Dark Crystal... A great movie and memory.

    Cool car.... Perhaps in another decade Eastern NC will have batterie stations L. Diane. LOL. Times move slowly when it comes to advance such as this one.

    Have a lovely weekend...

  10. Oh man, I wanna Tesla so bad! I've been fantasizing about it since I saw a show about Tesla cars and how simple and efficient they are. And all that storage space because there's no junk under the hood!

  14. Leigh, it should!

    Al, I've watched it so many times.

    Gwen, it was a movie from Jim Henson - 1982 I think.

    Sia, the lady said the charging stations in Raleigh were free.

    Michael, like five decades from now!

    Jai, and the trunk was very large.

    Mary - LOL!

    Susan, Stephen had a post about the guy who makes the Tesla cars.

  15. Love the Tesla - we haven't got even one charging station that I know of! They're not made for Northern Ontario winters :)

  16. I wrote about the Tesla recently, the company intends to install lots of charging stations in the near future.

    Nice to see them out and about though, even if they do cost a fortune.

  17. Thanks Diane!!! Tesla has their headquarters here in Orange County where I live and we see them from time to time. Really cool cars.

    Elon Musk has a vision of battery changing stations where people driving his cars can stop at one od the charging stations and swap an empty battery for a fully charged one for about $50.00 and be off and running. Less than a tank of gas.

    Does this guy have vision or what?

  18. I think I'm the only person on the planet who hasn't seen "The Dark Crystal"...lol.


    Thanks for the links and that Tesla does look cool, I'll admit...for a hippie car :)

  22. I've never heard of a Tesla car, but yes, that could be a major problem if you needed a charge in a no-charge zone!

    Informative links, as ever -- gracias! Seen a Tesla or two in La Jolla (go figure), and the new improvements at the SD airport now include charging stations. Next: flying cars, perchance?

  24. California has charging stations for eco-safe cars at some weird places.

    Love this car!
