I'd never seen it that bad before. When we got back to the car 2 stalls were empty, and other spaces around the parking lot were empty, so hopefully nobody else had to wait. Was then stuck in a huge line of cars leaving, so it took awhile to get back on the interstate. Possibly one of the sales was for a limited time range, not sure what else would explain the mass exodus of the mall at 4pm. On this part of the route home the only hotel with destination charging is in Marshall, Texas. They only had rooms with 1 bed, so I opted to stay near the Supercharger in Texarkana instead. We checked in and Ben announced he needed to do laundry 🙄 I'd asked both if they needed anything washed before we left my brothers. So we located the guest laundry room, then I got some laundry soap and quarters from the front desk. Once he was done we went to have dinner at Olive Garden and charge Talith. Car was more than ready when we got back to it, so much so that I had to drive around about 10 minutes to bring the charge down to 90% as it's not good to leave it sitting overnight above that.

Had warning to stay below 70 when we left, with estimated 5% remaining at Little Rock Followed a slow truck doing 66 for a half hour, during which time the limit crept up to 75 mph Once we got a decent buffer the message went away, so I increased the speed and kept it 75 +/- for the rest of the segment, except for whenever I had to go slower due to traffic (which was apparently quite often, see reply 37). Arrived with 15% remaining, having used 217 Wh/mi that's the lowest I've ever seen in Talith. Average for the trip so far is 243, lifetime average is 254 Arkansas was having a Sales Tax Holiday, which packed the mall with the Superchargers. The chargers are not close to the stores, yet all 10 stalls were full - and only one Tesla was charging, the other 9 stalls were ICEd. Guy showed up 3 minutes later - was in a "30 minutes general parking" slot, so I didn't say anything.

First stop of the day in Miner, Missouri. Need to get a full charge so we can bridge the gap to Little Rock. Ruby Tuesday wasn't yet open, so we had a late breakfast at McDonalds. Service sucked, took 25 minutes to get our food. We've had the same problem at this McDonalds in the past, so will eat at the Burger King just past it if we're there again when Ruby Tuesday's is closed. There was a slight benefit to the crappy service though, only had to wait 5 more minutes for Talith to fully charge when we got back to the car.

Second stop of the day was in Normal, Illinois. Supercharger was quite a ways off the interstate, located in a parking garage with 1 hour free parking. Numerous food options nearby somewhat make up for the detour. Had lunch at Sichuan Chinese Restaurant, food was quite good. As usual, car was ready to go before we were done eating. We're staying the night in Mount Vernon, Illinois in a Comfort Suites with 2 Tesla and 2 J1772 chargers.

Stopped in Madison for lunch at Portillo's, a Chicago style hot dog place recommended by my brother. Food was good, the malts were just so-so. Only 3 stalls, making it the smallest Supercharger site I've visited with Talith, but none are shared. Car was ready to go before we were done eating.

My drive home should cost less - my first referral was delivered yesterday.

We headed over to Green Bay yesterday to visit my aunt and uncle. Spent the afternoon at Bay Beach, a municipal owned amusement park. Tickets are $0.25, the rides we went on used 2-3 tickets. The kiddie rides are all 1 ticket. The Zippin Pippin, reportedly Elvis Presley's favorite roller coaster, takes 4 tickets but was closed for some reason so we didn't get to ride it. We had enough charge to make it there and back, but stopped at the Supercharger in Howard to pick up some drinks and show the twins how they worked. I think we gained 36 miles of range for $1.62 during our brief excursion into Meijer to grab the drinks for the ride home. I forgot to take a photo. On our way Visiting aunt Malinda and uncle Dale At Bay Beach The twins are all tuckered out

Visited my uncle Bill, he'd just bought a Mustang GT. Then headed over to Rudolf, WI to hit up the Wisconsin Dairy State Cheese Co. for my Squeaky Cheese and Dairy Fudge fix.
-
My brother installed a NEMA 14-30 outlet in his garage for when I visit. It's in the back of the garage, so I use a heavy duty extension cord.
-
Three other Model 3s charged while we had lunch. Made it to my brothers, 1557 miles so far on the trip with a charging cost of $55.59.
-
We have enough range to make it to my brothers place, but are opportunity charging while we have lunch at a multilevel Subway. Mac specialist store is next door.

I did take a couple videos at the Supercharger in Corsicana. Collin Street Bakery was closed, and the stop was brief, so the boys played Beach Buggy Racing. Hmm, just see play buttons on my iPhone & iPad. Might have to redo these when I get home. redone - but won't play in Safari for some reason even though Photos created the videos. IMG_1868.m4v IMG_1869.m4v While I deleted the original videos, these are still showing up and I cannot remove them.

We're now at Eau Claire, about 10 miles from the hotel we'll be at for the wedding. Hotels around here do not have charging so topping Talith up for the next couple of days. Had dinner across the street at Buffalo Wild Wings while the car charged.
-
Realized we'd be ~5 miles from Mall of America so we stopped for a few hours. By chance we ended up in the Texas parking lot.
-
Stopped in Albert Lea, Minnesota and had lunch at Applebee's. With just 4 stalls, it's the smallest Supercharger site I've been to with Talith (surpassed later in Madison, see reply 29).
-
Stayed the night in Ankeny, Iowa. First time I've seen 48amp AC charging with Talith.
-
Lots of cars here, it's the Kum & Go gas station.

Bethany, had dinner at Dairy Queen. Car was ready to go before we were done eating.

Had a nice surprise in Kansas, my Houston EZ-Tag works on their tollroads. The DFW tag doesn't work there, but does in Oklahoma were mine does not. Stopped to charge in Topeka. We weren't hungry so wandered over to Dicks Sporting Goods to use the restrooms and browse around the store while the car charged for a half hour.
-
I missed the second both stops yesterday
-
First stop of the day in Perry, OK. Tried Braum's for lunch, quite good! Car was ready to go before we returned to it.
-
Made it to Ardmore just before midnight. Checkin took a little time but we're in the room and the car is charging. The charging area is chained off to prevent ICEing.
-
Thanks! Neither will be driving, no license or permit. 2 stops on the way up, the second is yet to be determined but will probably be around Des Moines. We stopped in Huntsville for the first charge as we're all hungry. Had dinner at Mama Juanitas, car was almost full when we left. Second stop was in Corsicana. Plugged in and walked to a nearby Panda Garden to use the restrooms and buy some drinks. Then waited about 5 minutes for the car to charge enough for Ardmore, OK. The boys played Beach Buggy Racing, see videos below in reply #20.

Heading up to Wisconsin for a family wedding in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. My folks and my sister can't make it, so my nephew and I will be representing the Texas branch of the family. My nephew's buddy Ben is also along for the ride. I live on the south side of Houston, so when heading north I prefer to leave after work so as to avoid Houston's morning rush hour. I'll hit a little of the evening rush hour, but will avoid most of it by utilizing the Hardy Toll Road that goes from north of downtown to The Woodlands. Had planned to stop in Denton for the night, to be past DFW and their morning rush hour, but the hotels are all booked up. Next hotel with destination charging is in Ardmore Oklahoma, so I've booked a room there for tonight.

On the front page of the site you'll find a title search at the bottom of the menu on the left. You used to be able to type a game name there, but it looks like something broke with the recent forum update, it still takes you to the search results but shows all games. Just enter the game name there and you should be able to find the manual. For Demon Attack there's a text copy of the manual, which states: You can also look for manuals at AtariMania.com. Click 2600, then Games. They track all variations of a game, so it might take a bit to look through the results to find a version, like this one, with a scanned copy of the manual. What other games do you have? Space Invaders makes it really easy to see as the player's base will change size. If you use Game 33 you can test both switches at the same time: Both B = Beginner Both A = Advanced
