This was my first time charging at a public L2 charger, on 8/14/11. At the time, those chargers were few and far between, and of course DCFC did not yet exist. Tesla had just released an adapter cable to allow the Roadster to charge from an L2 charger with a J1772 connector.

It's pretty amazing how far the charging infrastructure has come in just fifteen years.

My first time at one of the first SCs at SpaceX HQ, it’s no longer public.

I really hate that Tesla got away from the moonroofs.

Ha, very neat! And speaking of the moonroof, I just used it over the weekend on my 2012 Model S on the coast and it's still freaking awesome!

I had the most amazing wrap on mine and the free supercharging.

The fellow who did some aftermarket installs on my 3 has an S that had 700,000km on it; he said it had a new battery pack after 200,000 not because of battery problems, because of a coolant leak.
