When I walked out of the airport in Amsterdam, I was astonished at the number of Teslas waiting to
pick up passengers. The Tesla has gone over big as taxis in A-dam. Besides the half dozen or so at the airport, I saw another 8-10 on the highways during the nine days I was there. In the past couple years, I've seen only one on the roads around here. Of course, Holland is not a huge country. |

High income Silicon Valley people. I figure Harry would like them. Subsidizing rich people's drive. |

The Cypress Bend RV resort would probably let you hook up to the 50amp outlet for $5. Getting 50a in the garage is trivial. that is where the main panel is. The "charging" I am worried about is the hundred grand Musk charges for the car. The issue with stations is what to do when you are not home although I am not that far away very often in a car. Campgrounds? |

Campgrounds? I think you need more than a handy 14-50r Perhaps you could carry a charger in the trunk and put an RV plug on it but you better have a few adapters. |

Campgrounds? I just looked and Tesla does have an onboard charger and it will work on a 14-50 or a 1-15/5-20 if you have the right adapters with you. The optional "Dual Charger" doubles the power it can take. |

Together with your power adapters you could make a *******ized hybrid out of it. :-) |
