Houston we have a problem! I
Houston we have a problem! I read news on this car literally every day. The Web sites as of 2/23/2012 states: "The Model S battery will not lose a significant amount of charge when parked for long periods of time. For example, Model S owners can park at the airport for extended vacations without plugging in". Which after reading today's article isn't true. 50 percent in the first week is what the Roadster manual stated.
I have the money to buy the Model S but unless this is fixed and or infrastructure on mid atlantic area improved, its a dead deal. Specifically, the last charing port in central VA is Richmond. So if I were to take a trip to say the Outer banks, unless I charge up in VA breach (way out of the way) to get to Outer-banks its an issue based upon the drain. Don't take my word for it check ChargePoint smart phone app or website.
