Adventures of a 2012 Sequoia Green Metallic Model S, nicknamed by my niece, because of shape and color. From a distance most think it's black not dark green.

Stopped by the upcoming @TeslaCharging site at the @CrackerBarrel off I-95 exit 73 in Dunn, NC & can confirm construction is underway. Two V3 @TelsaEnergy charging cabinets & 8 V4 NACS @Tesla Supercharger posts located in the SE corner of the parking lot. tesla.com/findus?location=42… – at Dunn, NC
Ok, @TeslaCharging what’s up with the Kenly, NC site map? I’m charging at 3A, facing posts 1A to 2B that’re under the other solar canopy, with trailer friendly 2C & 2D to my right, and 3C behind me. But site map shows the Model S at 3B?

Seven charging spaces aligned along the edge of the parking lot and one trailer friendly pull through spot that will occupy a current RV/Bus space. Since that one is the closest to the restaurant I’d imagine it’ll get used the most, even by those not towing a trailer.🤦🏻♂️ – at Dunn, NC
Actually, it’s 60 Superchargers. The 48 V4 posts (with V3.5 charging cabinets) you have pictured, 23 of which are under the solar canopy, and a row of 16 V3 posts that start along the sidewalk near the NE corner of the Oasis. xitter.cf/watermelonjb/status/18…
North Carolina now has the largest @TeslaCharging site on the East Coast. The 48 V4 pedestals with V3.5 @teslaenergy cabinets have gone live in Halifax, NC. Off I-95 exit 168. With the existing 12 V3 pedestals it brings the @Tesla Supercharger count to 60.
Ok, @TeslaCharging the host of the Cornersville, TN site has become Dolly’s Tennessean Travel Stop. EV owners will make the drive to buy Dolly merch, order food, and get a “Cup of Ambition” while they charge. 🛍️🍖☕️⚡️ xitter.cf/KendallWKRN/status/207…
There were just a few glimpses during the @WRAL coverage of today’s @Canes 2026 Championship Parade. A red @Ford F-150 Lightning was one the trucks in the parade. youtu.be/po1xDNw457I [Image credit: WRAL’s @YouTube Channel] #NHL #StanleyCup – at Raleigh, NC
Was out Saturday to check on a few EV charging sites & stumbled across an @ionnaofficial in a Refuel’s parking lot off US-70 West, at 8710 Glenwood Ave. Did a u-turn to check it out. Three @alpitronic HYC400s, 4 CCS & 2 NACS. refuelmarket.com/stores/refu… – at Raleigh, NC
Just noticed that @ionnaofficial is going to have to swap cables on each of the two end HYC400s. The two closest parking spaces are labeled CCS & the two far ones are labeled NACS, but look at the handles. I assume cable swaps would be easier than repainting @brandenflasch? – at Raleigh, NC
Swung by Walmart Supercenter 5118, 10500 Glenwood Ave, on Saturday. Its EV charging site is waiting on its transformer. First time visiting one of their locations with the fences down, the parking spaces are wide. Four @alpitronic HYC400s with 4 CCS & 4 NACS cables. – at Raleigh, NC
Also swung by Walmart Supercenter 4484, 8000 Town Dr. Its EV charging site is also waiting on its transformer. Four @alpitronic HYC400s, with 4 CCS & 4 NACS cables. Expansion for a 5th Alpitronic was tucked beside a parked GMC. – at Raleigh, NC
Just saw this as a FB ad. Guessing @ionnaofficial will mention it in a post today, or later this week? Find a Rechargery here. ionna.com/rechargeries/find-…
Not the only or even the oldest EV at @caryncgov’s Wheels on Academy. The 2011 @Tesla Roadster I’ve parked near at the past two fall National Drive Electric Month events at @NCState’s Carter-Finley stadium, hosted by @NCCleanTech, registered early for today’s car show. – at Cary, NC
The “Explore an EV” row at today’s show included two @caryncgov Model 3s that staff can checkout, and two PD Model 3s that had already snuck away when I took the pic, but the FD’s electric fire truck stayed the bulk of the time. @Honda Prologue beside me & then a Fisker Ocean.
The battery for the Volterra electric fire engine is behind the crew cab. June 9th will mark one year of operational service for this pumper truck at @caryncgov’s Station 9. It arrived after I did and I didn’t hear it at all.⚡️🚒🥷piercemfg.com/electric-fire-…
I preregistered for this one. Hopefully weather cooperates, forecast shows 40% chance of rain. Hopefully a certain red Model X owner can attend, schedules permitting, & bring their Cybertruck. Two years ago the Model S surprised the crowd (see vid) with its “Other” Category win.
Photo of the Model S fades in at the 15:12 mark. Then at 23:24, “Alright now the Best of Show, we have a classification called Other, that’s any manufacturer we haven’t announced already, it goes to... 2012 @Tesla.” youtu.be/BEYgT6Nb0bA
