There’s free wifi for 4 years powered by AT&T.

Tesla (6)It’s 0 emissions!  The GPS will show you the nearest locations of the Superchargers where you can charge for free! It will last for 257 miles before you have to recharge. If u charge at home, a full charge will range from $6 to $8. Thank you to Christopher for the demo today #TeslaMotors #Tesla #StanfordShoppingCenter #H2HSFO

He could not believe it he kept looking back at me showing me 🙂  There is a 4 month wait for this car and the 3rd model of Tesla @teslamotors Which is not even out yet has already 500,000 customers ( who made a down payment ) waiting.
