Tonopah, NV Tesla Charging station (#1132)

A Tesla charging station in Tonopah? A town seeming set culturally set decades back?

It seemed odd to see this among the mix of abandoned and revived buildings from the 1920’s, in a town with little visible economy, but there it was. It makes sense, though, since this is roughly the halfway point between Reno and Las Vegas and most Tesla’s don’t hold enough charge for the full trip (440 miles). Per the article linked below, you can recharge your Tesla in an hour – just enough time to stretch your legs and have coffee. Unfortunately, for people like me (I have a plug-in hybrid) it doesn’t help since it is a proprietary system.
