So amusing to see Americans having language difficulties. It's usually me getting blank looks when I'm standing in my thongs and shorts asking for sauce to go on my snag.
I would send a picture of the power outlet I'm looking for. On topic but in another country, we have lovely three phase 32 amp 240 volt outlets in Australia that my Tesla turns into 20kw of charging with a suitable adaptor. Or 10kw with the supplied charging cable and a bit of stuffing around. Yum! Finding them is an interesting challenge but they are often installed at places like motels for building trades to run a switchboard. Fairgrounds are turning out to have them too. They are usually only used for a couple of days a year and the municipality often hires space in them out for sports clubs and RVs so access is easier than it might otherwise be. Often you just leave cash to cover the cost of power or the powered camp site fee, whichever is more, in the honour box. I'm also aware of some guys from Perth who are about to drive across the Nullarbor to Adelaide, about two thousand miles with most of it unpopulated. They sent power outlets to road houses (service stations in the middle of nowhere that sell fuel, food and often accommodation, sometimes powered with their own massive generator) and to camping grounds. It's going to be possible to drive a Tesla from Perth to Brisbane years before Tesla finish installing superchargers. Admittedly the recharging stops add about four days to the Nullarbor trip but hey, don't we all love watching our cars charge?
