On my Sunday trip back, I drove i-35 north. Once I had reached Buda (north of San Antonio, south of Austin) https://goo.gl/maps/PT8vVdBHjJp I spotted a silver Tesla EV. I sped up from my usual (lower ice polluting) right lane @65mph driving (w/ a 75mph TX speed limit), and changed lanes for a closer look ... What's the big deal? Well, where I am residing in the northern part of Central Texas (CTX), public L3 charging is practically non-existent. Thus, having the experience of sharing the road with an EV is also next to nil. As it turns out, since there is currently nil L3 EVSE in San Antonio, I also saw no EVs while I was there. So, for me at the end of my week-long down-south exploring San Antonio for options, and now on my way back, to see an EV was quite a treat (when I lived in Silicon Valley, CA there were so many EVs, it was a very common sighting ... but not here). The TX lic plate # ended in 8884 of the silver Tesla-S p85. Typically, all Tesla owners are quite fastidious about keeping their EV pristine clean (I figure its a keeping up with the Jones' effort/shtick). But this Tesla-S had a couple of days (a weekend's worth) of dried bird and tree droppings on it. Since the news media keeps touting a drought, we should cut that driver some slack, and assume they will give their EV a water-less wash after they get home (they likely live in Austin where there are more EVs around). After I'd had my gander(look-see), I changed lanes right and dropped my speed back down. There was a huge(puffy) TX pickup truck with dually rear tires tailgating/(harassing) the Tesla, so the Tesla changed lanes right to the middle lane. But they were going faster, and I lost sight of them before I reached Round Rock. (? Is it worth moving south near the San Antonio VA Hospital just so I can satisfy my occasional EV sighting addiction ? ... maybe) For EVLN EV-newswire posts use: http://evdl.org/archive/ {brucedp.neocities.org} -- Sent from: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
