Tesla Expanding L.A.-New York Car Charging Network - Bloomberg

The carmaker, which has tripled in market value this year, is also tripling the number of solar-powered supercharger stations so that owners of the Model S sedan can drive to New York from Los Angeles, said Musk, Tesla’s chief executive officer and biggest investor.   [Will we get updates on how many people actually use these charging stations to drive between New York and Los Angeles?  Are the charging stations only connected to solar panels and not the grid, so that we can be sure that any planet-healing New York/LA Tesla trips are purely powered by the sun?  What should people do if they want to drive their Tesla slightly off-route anywhere along the way?  What happens if you reach the only fast charging station in 150 miles, and it's not working or a few people are already in line there?  If you're trying to heal the planet, wouldn't it be better to skip the New York/LA trip entirely and maybe use Skype instead?]

Flashback:  Tesla-Stalled on the E.V. Highway - NYTimes.com

When I parked the car, its computer said I had 90 miles of range, twice the 46 miles back to Milford. It was a different story at 8:30 the next morning. The thermometer read 10 degrees and the display showed 25 miles of remaining range — the electrical equivalent of someone having siphoned off more than two-thirds of the fuel that was in the tank when I parked.

I called Tesla in California, and the official I woke up said I needed to “condition” the battery pack to restore the lost energy. That meant sitting in the car for half an hour with the heat on a low setting.
