Buy a Model S and Tesla promises that in six months you’ll be able to drive from Los Angeles to New York without paying a dime to top up your batteries.
That’s just one part of an ambitious plan to expand Tesla’s Supercharger network, a series of solar-powered charging stations that will stretch from coast to coast by next year and allow Model S owners to recharge their rides in 20 to 30 minutes. For free. Forever.
Tesla’s announcement, which Elon Musk hinted at during his talk at AllThingsD 11, is a dramatic acceleration of its initial Supercharger roll-out plan. When Tesla originally introduced the network last October, the automaker intended to line the major highways across the country with Superchargers over the course of a few years. But this new initiative ramps up that expansion considerably.
Currently, Superchargers serving the west coast are installed in parts of California and Nevada, with the east coast covered from Washington, DC to Boston. But by the end of next month, Tesla claims it will triple the number of Supercharger stations in the Golden State, along with adding new stations along the major corridors serving the northwest, connecting Vancouver, Seattle and Portland. Austin and Dallas, in Texas, and Illinois and Colorado are also on the near-term road map, including the addition of four new stations on the eastern seaboard to “provide for more convenient stopping points.”
In six months’ time, Tesla says Superchargers will “connected most of the major metro areas in the U.S. and Canada,” with expansions from Arizona to Florida, Ottawa to Montreal and throughout parts of the south, including Georgia and North and South Carolina. And within the next year, Tesla says Superchargers will cover “almost the entire population of the U.S. and Canada”, so “Model S drivers can take the ultimate road trip — whether that’s LA to New York, Vancouver to San Diego, or Montreal to Miami.”
“In addition to the expansion of the Tesla Supercharger network itself,” the automaker said in a statement, “Tesla is improving the technology behind the Tesla Supercharger to dramatically decrease the amount of time it takes to charge Model S, cutting charging time in half relative to early trials of the system.”
This new charging tech, which is currently in beta testing, claims to allow owners to add an additional three hours of drive time through a 120 kW line in “just over 20 minutes.” And in true Silicon Valley fashion, Model S owners will receive an update to their vehicle’s software this summer to implement the new fast-charging protocol.
The charging station will all be free. They will be built and maintained for free.
How long would it take for a Tesla car to get across the US at around 70 mph with a six hour rest every 150 miles? You do the math
Hmmmm something comparable to taking Amtrack cross country?How long would it take for a Tesla car to get across the US at around 70 mph with a six hour rest every 150 miles? You do the math

Is that a trick question?

No tricks, just the sad truth that radical enviro-nuts are living in a fantasy world.
Neptune Park Inn 3108 Atlantic Ave, Virginia Beach, VA 23451
Queen Mary 1126 Queens Hwy, Long Beach, CA 90802
2734.6 miles @ 70 mph = 39.07 hrs.
2734.6/150 = 18.226 # of stops
18.226 x 6 = 109.36 hrs charging time
109.36 +39.07 = 148.43
148.43/24 = 6.18 days
Ok, slightly faster than Amtrack

Did you read my OP post? 20 minutes for another 3 hours. Within the first paragraph it pretty much states that it is a recharge.

Drive an electric car across the country? How much waiting for the batteries to charge would that trip include?
As I pointed out above that would be about 18 charges/.5=~9 hours. 
The charging station will all be free. They will be built and maintained for free.
