Tesla leads the way in electrification of transport, and they back it up with reasonably priced charging stations at convenient locations, in the places I drive, shop, dine, watch movies, and hang out. I've already used two supercharging locations in MoCo and Frederick, and it worked great. (For the Russian troll: My new Tesla cost $41K, BTW, not $130K. And it is really a fantastic car.)

They are popping up all over taking up alot of space and rarely get used except for maybe DC & CA. A Tesla starting price is 130k is it any wonder few can afford such a ridiculously overpriced vehicle. I'm so happy President Trump supports increased domestic oil production and oil independence from the Arabs. These stations will be abandoned eyesores soon enough. #MAGA Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-31969077588536434262018-02-06T17:54:44.194-08:002018-02-06T17:54:44.194-08:00"Physical stores aren't going anywhere.

There's actually a pretty good food court, even while the anchor large restaurant spaces are sitting vacant.<br /><br /><br />Arclight sucks. I've seen 4/5 movies there and somehow the audio has been slightly off for half of them. no refills on popcorn? really? Also drinking some sugar loaded themed drink for a movie is overrated.<br /><br />Microsoft Store? Wow the rich must definitely be fleeing MoCo if we are hitting up Microsoft Stores for entertainment now. My kids going to be real thrilled with his Surface Pro hopefully he loves it as much as his Zune. I'm the parent who saves the $50 and gets the crappy version of all the Christmas gifts.<br /><br />Starbucks? Oh while the Tesla charging lets hang out like unemployed grad students and look at our watches until we can leave again.<br /><br />Amazon has killed department store shopping.
