The New Jersey Turnpike Authority ("NJTA") has chosen a sole third-party charging provider to serve the New Jersey Turnpike and is not allowing us to co-locate. As a result, NJTA requested 64 existing Supercharger stalls on the New Jersey Turnpike to not be renewed and be decommissioned. We have been preparing for 3 years for this potential outcome by building 116 stalls off the New Jersey Turnpike, ensuring no interruption for our customers. The map below outlines the existing replacement Superchargers, and Trip Planner will adjust automatically.
We offered the NJTA above-market commercial terms, including offering to build Superchargers at all New Jersey service plaza and with equipment upgrades, such as screens and NACS with CCS1 "magic docks". Tesla always advocates for more infrastructure and co-location with additional third-party charging providers. This drives down costs through optionality, and accelerates EV adoption by having sufficient capacity to shoulder peaks. We expect that ~30 times more fast-charging capacity is needed to get to full EV adoption. NJTA's decision to remove, rather than add, critical charging infrastructure is a setback for New Jersey's EV adoption goals of 100% Zero-Emission New Car Sales by 2035. It removes Turnpike access to the most reliable (99.9% uptime), least congested (<1% waiters) and cost-effective (~30% lower $/kWh) charging.
We are still willing to invest in New Jersey Turnpike sites if @NJTurnpike or @GovMurphy want to reverse this decision. Otherwise, we will continue to build out the best possible infrastructure off the Turnpike to serve @DelValTesla and the EV drivers of New Jersey.

I have a feeling this meme format is going to get a lot of use over the next four years.

Elon Musk is right.
The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its 7th audit in a row. It’s lost track of billions.
Last year, only 13 senators voted against the Military Industrial Complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud.
That must change.

Joe Biden’s record of public service is unrivaled. His accomplishments are immense. His legacy as a great president is secure.
He must not risk that legacy, those accomplishments and American democracy to soldier on in the face of the horrors promised by Donald Trump.

Hey @Hertz you did this this customer DIRTY! She rented this Kia EV and was given zero tools on how to charge. Found her and the KIA with a 12v that was dead at the Monterey ChargePoint charger. She called @AAA_Travel @AAAnews @AAACares for help and they couldn’t do anything for her.
This is how people end up with bad tastes in their mouths about Electric Vehicles.
She was stuck for over 3 hours. Her phone was on 3% and was hopeless. She’s from Rhode Island and flew in earlier today.
Just a few minutes on which app to use for charging and how to actually plug in the vehicle, would’ve helped this girl.
Hoping I changed her mind about EV’s. I paid for the charge and helped her out.
Glad I asked her if she was ok, it allowed for a conversation that helped her get on her way to her hotel. – at Seaside, CA

I've launched a petition urging @NHTSAgov to stop paper recall letters & classifying OTA software updates as recalls.
I discussed these issues with @Tesla, which they're working on.
NHTSA should see the public's support for these changes. Please sign! chng.it/MwS9j94Czv

When we had our third child I bought a Crawler Transporter. It’s very safe and built like a tank.
We always had sedans and crossovers which have no chance against large trucks.
The lives of my children are too important to risk to another driver.

Are we camping? Or are we just living without cell service?
Well, if you're camping in Yellowstone, then both! 😆
