I will note because I am pedantic that leagues is traditionally a measure of distance rather than depth. 10.000 leagues would be really, really deep.

the distance is not standard, correct? doesn't it vary by country? (although no country uses it)

Edit: that is a cool screen though, as soon as that bond movie came out, I wanted my own personal submarine

The Bond Easter Egg doesn't work in my car -- I don't have air suspension...

Neither do I. This one is the service loaner P85+, which to my chagrin is limited to 80 mph.

Assuming they were riffing on Jules Verne, they screwed that up royally.

A real blue is finally available!

Might be time for an upgrade.

That must be an inventory car -- testing the color before making it order able. It is a nice blue, but I think I'll go with red next time…

Anyhoo… We just got back from a quick 3 night trip to Disneyland… We only used Superchargers for this trip -- 9 stops in all (2 of which were not necessary).

When we drove to CA last summer, there was a Supercharger gap -- we had to stop at Tesla's service center in Palm Springs to charger for ~4.5 hours in order to make it to Disney. Since then, Tesla has added 3 Superchargers relatively close together and along I-10 in Indio (E. of Palm Springs), Cabazon (W. of Palm Springs), and in Rancho Cucamonga (about 1/2 way between downtown LA and Palm Springs, on I-15 about 2 miles north of I-10). On the way over, we stopped to charge at Indio, then again at Cabazon before going to Disney. both were partial charges, and we arrived at Disney with over 130 miles remaining -- so didn't have to pay to park in the Disney garage and pay for a slow charge while in the park.

Tesla has also added 2 additional Superchargers in LA -- both are ~5 miles from Hawthorn (where Tesla has their Design Studio, and where SpaceX HQ is…). We charged at the one in Culver City on Tues evening after Motoman gave us a tour of the YouTube Spaces studio (about 1 mile from that Supercharger…).

So we drove 911 miles over 4 days… For a total fuel cost of $0...

Because, of course, all of your cars should be that color.
