If you are familiar with www.TheOatmeal.com (http://www.TheOatmeal.com), enjoy!

If you are not familiar with The Oatmeal, it is a webcomic with a highly opinionated, very clever, rather foul-mouthed author. He also did a brilliant writeup of why Tesla was a genius and Edison was a douchebag. That was the actual title (it has since been changed), so you now have an idea of the writing style.
This may be the most accurate description of what it feels like to drive a Tesla that I have ever read. Maybe we can get him on a Zero SR... ;D

New York to Florida and back - without spending a penny on fuel.
Tesla's network of superchargers in action.

That was a fun read.

Another great example of Tesla's supercharging might is their cross country trip from LA to NYC in 76 hours 5 minutes. I highly recommend watching the 3 behind the scenes movies they made. They sent 2 cars to cross the USA with the least amount of charging time and you can follow all the blog posts here:

I met up with them at their Tesla Store in NYC and all the drivers were involved in making the superchargers, so they were fascinating to talk to.
I would love it if our 14.2kWh battery that could take 135kW of charging power from one of their supercharging stations! Ready to ride in minutes!
