Our new member, Harry Doby, recently visited the EV event in Golden, CO.
The photos from the event are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/z434nthgivg272h/AADK3TuvzId82kwTXDecxAbwa?dl=0
Here are the pictures from
yesterday's Electric Week event held at Golden Real Estate in Golden.
Their parking lot had two J1772 charging stations. And they even
invited everyone to bring styrofoam packaging materials to be recycled.
The
turnout was pretty good. As you can see from the pictures there were
examples of just about every type of EV currently on the market.
I
counted two Chevy Volts, two Chevy Bolts, two Hyundai Kona's, two
Nissan Leafs, two Model S's, two Model Y's (what is this, Noah's Arc?), a
Model X, an Audi eTron, Fiat 500e, a brand new Mini Cooper SE, and
three Model 3's.
The red Model Y was a LR AWD
with 20" turbine wheels. The owner had just taken delivery about a week
earlier (as had the white Model 3 next to it). I couldn't believe how
many different style adapters the Model Y owner had. He was ready for
any occasion!
Sorry I didn't write down more
details or people's names. I had a constant stream of folks asking me
about my Model Y, including a couple from Arizona looking to trade their
RWD Model 3. Most were curious about the real world range, so I shared
my experience with my 216 mile drive up Pikes Peak and back to north
Denver with 94 miles of range left over. Several people asked how it
rode with the 19" wheels, and how easy was it to get used to the center
screen and the controls; was the white interior difficult to keep clean
(not yet ;-) The cavernous amount of room of the Y in the back with
the seats folded down impressed even the Audi eTron owner! The Model 3
owners from AZ liked the deeper frunk of the Y.
Hope the pictures are helpful! Let me know if you have any problems accessing the pictures.
