It’s one of the most frequent questions I get from my riders. “How long do the batteries last?” Well, here is the definitive answer... that is until the batteries are improved which is likely to be very very soon.
80% after 521,000 miles
Hyperloop
I’m pretty sure there are a lot of people who would be in favor of a hyperloop between Aspen and Glenwood… now if it could just go under the Colorado River and eliminate the bridge traffic as well…
Turning 300,000
This is one of many reasons why the Model S is the perfect car for any livery service.
Tesloop and it’s 300,000 mile Model S .
Well, Z3ro-G isn’t approaching that 300,000 mark yet but think of this as 26,000 fossil fuel free rides in Aspen keeping our Colorado blue skies blue.
More charging options in Aspen
Now there are three… yes that’s right… three DC chargers in Aspen. One at the Rio Grande Parking garage (where a CHAdeMO adaptor is provided for Teslas). One across from the airport at Pitkin County Public works; and the newest one a Chargepoint DC CHAdeMO in back of CP burger on Galena street.
You’ll want to put the Plugshare app on your phone for directions and to check and see if the station is currently occupied.

Isn’t electricity made with coal?
Nope. Not here at Z3ro-G limo. Yes we have a charging station for the Tesla but no, it’s not powered by burning coal.
Here’s a picture of the fabulous crew from Sunsense Solar installing more solar panels on the roof in 2016 . We’ve been solar since 2009 but with the Tesla it was time to add a few more panels.
You can see a few of the original panels to the right on the roof. Those are great during the summer but during the winter clearing snow off the panels isn’t that much fun so the new panels are mounted at an angle to take advantage of the sun in winter.
Oh, so close to 1 million… soooooo close…..
How does a Tesla Motor work?
Continuing on the theme of frequently asked questions from my riders here is the in depth explanation of how an electric motor works. The quick answer to “is it more efficient?” is a resounding “Yes!” Just start with the rotary motion of an electric motor compared to the vertical (piston) motion which has to be converted to horizontal rotary motion and then take a look at how those regenerative brakes work…. oh my…. getting a little teary eyed here… sniff….

I always get a lot of Tesla questions from my riders so I’m going to post a few videos which should help with the answers.
