Update in March 2025...the saga continues!

Hello from the future!  It is now March 2025, so I have owned Sparky for about 15 months now.  I love it…It is, hands down, the most fun vehicle I have ever owned.  Setting aside my views on co-President Musk, the cars and infrastructure put in place by Tesla are nothing short of brilliant.  For instance, it is amazing to see how spotty and poor the network is for non-Tesla EVs (getting better, but still bulky, time-consuming to start charges, and far less reliable than the Tesla superchargers.)

I have been on two major roadtrips since I signed off on this “All the NH Tesla Superchargers” blog, and they both went beautifully.  Last April I traveled round trip from NH to Las Vegas, 6200 miles in 17 days, including 8 *full* days of driving and 9 days visiting friends and family in Colorado and Las Vegas.  The car performed flawlessly, and I had no troubles charging and traveling long distances on this trip.  I also did a round-trip from NH to Folley Beach, SC later in the summer, and again loved the experience.  For me, not only is a road-trip doable in Sparky, it is a ton of fun.  Plotting out the route and optimizing the charging, so that I could go long distances to efficiently get to my destination, was a blast.  In fact, I am planning a repeat trip to Las Vegas next month, exactly one year removed from my last trip there.

But all that is fodder for a different blog.  Tesla remained busy over the past year here in New Hampshire, opening a whopping five new supercharging stations in Southern NH.  The total number of stations here in the Granite State has increased from the 13 I reviewed last year, to now 18 in total.  Naturally, I am compelled to go visit these new locations, and stay current with my goal to have visited ALL the NH Supercharging stations.  More new locations are planned as well, but my quest for now is to visit the five new ones that have been opened in the past year.

ALL the NH Tesla Superchargers--> Friday 22 December 2023

Exactly one week ago today, I took delivery of Sparky, my new Tesla Model Y Long Range.  I’m looking forward to taking her on some long road...
