I never bother to check charging price; but probably won't charge here again unless desperate. $0.60/kWh was by far the most expensive as I've paid this year, beating previous record in Irvine ($0.48) which was a much more desirable location. Furthermore, there was a "bathroom for paid...

If you're thinking about roadtrip or foresee frequent charging outside of your home, Tesla is still your best option right now. As stated, I didn't spot a single Ford (or Rivian) charging at the Supercharger throughout this entire trip. It's either a bit more pain using the provided adapter...

Very good tip....thanks! Just one quick question; LV = ?

Hmm... sounds like as long as we stay indoor (inside hotel), should be OK. I will need to consult with my wife to stay here or Hotel Mission De Oro (Santa Nella SC) 75 miles north.

Anyone actually stayed at the hotel? I'm contemplating either this hotel or Harris Ranch Resort, in my upcoming trip to Vancouver. Seeking comments/opinions of actual guest of either or both.

Thinking about staying at the Harris Ranch Resort for my upcoming trip to Vancouver. Read about the smell of cow poop in this forum but last reported in 2017. Can anyone confirm that it's now a non-issue? I certainly wouldn't well to cope with that smell all night long.

From El Centro to La Mesa, a long stretch of I-8 (~100 miles) without Supercharger so this is definitely welcome. However may be better if Tesla can add another location somewhere closer to the middle, like the Golden Acorn Casino.

Thanks! It closes at 9 so will need to make sure I can make it before, or will charge at the other place in town.

My wish came true and I am planning a trip from in June northbound through this town, but where can I use the restroom for free, Big 5? May be arriving late; ~8 to 10pm. I don't mind spending a bit of $$, if it's just a drink, snack, etc.

Hi, anybody know if Best Western is accessible from the RV lot? I'm thinking about staying there (instead of Topaz Lodge) but would prefer walk the inside path, rather than out on the road, especially that I'd be arriving late at night. The plan is to charge first, walk to hotel to check-in...

Original stock, which is probably Michelin. You think Hankook can do better? I only have 15.6K miles on the car but already thinking about tire replacement, since the Discount Tire guy told me Tesla tires typically don’t last more than 30k.

Here's my best stretch of work commute in 4 days in 2022 M3LR stock 18" w/ Aero Cover: San Diego - Suburb ~50% highway Max speed of 70mph ~500ft of elevation change (800ft - 300ft) 65F - 75F This is only achievable if I drive like an old lady with slow acceleration and gentle regen-braking.

One day I’d like to drive up to Yellowknife in winter, to see Aurora Borealis. Currently it seems possible only in S (non-Plaid) without relying on NEMA adaptor. Maybe the Canadien government will add a few more chargers in that route.

Sequoia was my first roadtrip in this current Tesla (22 M3LR). We stayed at the Gateway Restaurant/Lodge with Destination charger. That was very nice/convenient.

Definitely go buy J1772 adapter and both NEMA 14-50 and 14-30 connectors (for RV parks). We drove to Death Valley and also Yellowstone (separate trip) a few years back in 2019 M3SR with rated range of 240 miles but actual of <200. Never needed NEMA connector (fortunately, would've been boring...
