My fellow electric car owner David Zygmont is on a road trip with his Tesla Motors Model S and enjoying every bit of his road trip from Chicago. He's not trying for a land-speed record, just enjoying the "road" and all of its unique character, such as the Eager Beaver car wash and remove some bugs from his faceplate, see below. You can follow him at @davidzygmont (http://www.twitter.com/davidzygmont)on Twitter.

Bugs? At Beaver @TeslaMotors (https://twitter.com/TeslaMotors) Supercharger? No problem! #eagerbeaver (https://twitter.com/hashtag/eagerbeaver?src=hash) pic.twitter.com/XiVrRnBBhl (http://t.co/XiVrRnBBhl)

I'll be talking with David in the middle of July about his recent trip and how he became an electric vehicle owner in my next podcast episode. Here's a little taste to the podcast, his first day of the road trip saw his car travel 629.3 miles with an energy use of 204.7 kWh and 325 Wh/mi.
Also, I saw via Bonnie Norman's twitter page (http://www.twitter.com/bonnienorman)that a road trip starting in Newark, DE will take off in approximately three weeks, see below.


Three weeks from today, #TeslaRoadTripSAA (https://twitter.com/hashtag/TeslaRoadTripSAA?src=hash) will begin Supercharging Across America from Newark, DE to @TMCConnect (https://twitter.com/TMCConnect). 3600 miles in six days.

50% of the time @TeslaMotors (https://twitter.com/TeslaMotors) Superchargers, car is ready before I am. Partly due to walking further for restrooms or other services.

As a man married to a sweet California lady, I do love the In-N-Out burger experience and Dave on your way back remember to ask for monster style if you like grilled onions!
