Why Buffet bets on fossil fuel highway, page-27

Good read - looks like they had a fair bit of help along the way, with the mayor jumping in ... a few locals getting chargers sent out from Tesla at $1,500 a pop - not too sure it is really ready for mass scale

Like the guys rowing from Sydney to NZ ... you can do it, but you're going to need a lot of help.

I'd love to cruise round in a Tesla ... I sat in one recently. You might find that the world just jumps straight to flying cars ... Dubai is testing out flying Ubers, might be cheaper than Tesla at this point. Who know what will happen...

Offers of free charge-ups were just the start. Rob says part of the joy of the trip was the enthusiasm they found from strangers who went the extra mile to help make the drive successful.

“The Mayor of Carnarvon was really, really good to me,” he recalls. “He actually put in a three-phase power point at his premises so I could charge the car [more quickly].

“One of his friends put in a Tesla connector at his motel. He’d heard about the technology and asked me if he could get one [connector]. I told him to ring Tesla and they sent one right out. For free. It’s worth around $1500.”

Then there was the top bloke in Port Hedland.

“I just couldn’t find anywhere to recharge in Port Hedland – I was just getting absolutely nowhere. Then this big guy wearing a North-West car club t-shirt came up and said, ‘Mate, I didn’t think I’d see one of these [a Tesla] up here.’

I explained the situation and without saying a word, he pulled out his phone, rang a mate who owned a local hotel and we were able to go there to charge up.” "
