In Norway, Tesla is very popular. In a few years it has grown exponentially from a few cars to now seeing many cars on every ride thst are Tesla. Most of them Model S. But this year increasingly more Model X as well. Oslo could well be called the capital of Tesla. To show you how crazy it is, see the typical charging queue on the nearest supercharge station to Oslo, 30 minutes drive.
We are charging the car while i took this picture of the queue. 6 cars was charging including us and 3 cars are waiting. This is the charging station in Drammen with 6 chargers on each side of the road. They are full most of the day. We was lucky when we got there getting a space after 5 minutes.
This is my sleeping beauty, a picture I took while charging. Continuing the story from earlier today on picking up my girlfriend, the princess and travel addict. I was picking up my girlfriend from Torp airport. If you didnt read it: https://steemit.com/blog/@olsm/norway-snowy-winter-driving-to-airport
She slept much of the way. But she was scared and waking up and sitting up all the time due to the weather conditions, from any strange sounds of slushy snow or bump in road. I must admit i was driving a little fast some parts of the road though, as I was getting impatient.
You are a lucky girl @rhubarb

Tesla cars are not popular in Bulgaria yet but I hope they'll be part of our lives more and more in the nearby future. Best wishes, Sveto.

Amazing. I want to see Teslas everywhere in the near future.
I wish you happiness and those beautiful sleeping @olsm
Thanks. It is @olsm *
I am sorry sir @olsm corrected it
do you have an all-wheel drive tesla?
Yes. I believe all of them are all wheel drive. I am borrowing this one while waiting for the model X i bought to be delivered. Follow me to see it when I get it. You can read more about that in my previous posts and comments on steemit.
I live in Michigan and there is't any Teslas driving around here. I am really hoping that I can afford one this year, but I'll have to travel pretty far to pick it up :/
This is good ..nice post bro
Hmmmm! This is great....one can say that she is enjoying the sleep
After all my exams? Yeees! :D
Ya
Sweet dreams;)
I would love to buy Tesla some day. But in Croatia we don't have fast chargers. It would took the whole day to charge batteries here :)
It takes a whole day to charge most places here also. It is only the few Tesla chargers around that are super fast and free at the same time. There are many of half the speed but paid. Otherwise the other free ones in Oslo take a whole day and it is way too few of them so they are always busy in daytime. The Tesla super charger is actually only meant to be used on long distance travels to help you get more distance. You are supposed to have a charger at home for your car to charge all night. But sadly some people, like us, have big problem to get charging. We have to go to nearby train station to charge all night and walk home 20 minutes and hope its available. Many times we go to the nearest tesla charge station when we have no other option and it has been close call a few times hehe. I hope we will find a solution soon. I know the housing here has plans to build chargers in the guest parking.
I like Norway, i hope in some day i can go there
If you do. Be sure to message me and maybe we can meet. :)
I love the snow... but i live in the caribbean, so...
Great post! :D
I was traveling with my family and my girlfriend a few months ago in the caribbean
I want a Tesla so bad. They are fairly expensive in the united states.
I'm not sure if it is different in Norway.
How long does it take to charge your car at one of these stations?
They are fairly expensive here also. Much more than a premium sedan of diesel/bensin. However there is no VAT (value added tax) for electric cars in Norway so that is one incentive and makes it cheaper in Norway than other countries where they have VAT on electric cars.
This is not my car. I bought a Tesla Model X which is estimated to be delivered in end of march. Currently I am borrowing a Tesla model S while waiting. Earlier I was borrowing a Model X like you can see in previous posts. How fast you charge depends on how big your battery is. Maximum speed is about 550 KM per hour, which only happens during like 50% of the battery and once you go above that it gradually drops to lower and lower speed to protect your battery. To charge from 0-100% takes twice as long than 0-90%. With this red model S which is not the newest model and the highest performance engine of that model... It charges from 0-90% in about 1 hour, which is like 300 km. Newest model with highest capacity will probably charge the same also in 1 hour and instead give 500 km for that charge.
El precio es muy caro
Thanks for the solid information. Interesting that it takes twice as long for only 10% more charge. 1 hour for 90% isn't bad at all though. Hopefully one day I will own one! I bet you are looking forward to the end of March!
You both are doing awesome. @olsm can I get an UPVOTE from you on any of my post? would be greatly appreciated
