Our new Reno office chargers are finally up and running - one 70A 208V J1772 unit for Roadsters and one 80A 208V J1772 unit for the Model S. Both are located at 9855 Double R Blvd, Reno, NV 89521 on the South side of the building. Very close to the South Meadows exit off 395.
I also found (and charged at) a J1772 adapted Tesla 70A charger in downtown Davis last night. (4th & G garage, listed on Plugshare. Was open even at 2am. I miscalculated energy usage vs miles to go and needed a boost.)
I have got to get Jack B something nice to thank him for all of the charges I use that he installed or got installed. :smile:
We just did the drive from San Francisco -> Truckee. We arrived in Folsom with 137 rated and were there about an hour. I believe we left with a rated range of ~245 (I didn't write it down unfortunately but it was about that). Given that I only had to get to Northstar, I wasn't very careful to drive slowly. I probably went around 65 (maybe 70) and averaged 445 Wh/mi and used 44.3kWh. So I'd say there was roughly a ~40% overhead due to the increase in elevation. We arrived at the Ritz with 88-rated. They only have a 110v plug so luckily we are here a few days. I'll post the results of the way back and I'll try to take better notes. It's not all downhill from truckee down so I'm curious if I do better than rated and can skip the supercharger on the way home.
Thank you for this report.
Do you happen to know what the temperature was when you did this drive? Were you running your heater or just the seat heaters?
I'm assuming that since you were driving fast that the road conditions were good.
Cheers.

I also convinced Cedar House Sport Hotel (http://www.cedarhousesporthotel.com) to install a level 2 Clipper charger. They are planning to install it in the spring. So those driving I-80 who want to overnight will have a really great place to stay.
That is awesome, Davidh! We definitely need more hotels with charging, especially since we've read how the car doesn't like to sit out in the cold all night without plugging in.
I'm planning two trips in the next two months, staying first at the Hyatt Incline Village and next at the Squaw Creek resort, and both have assured me that I could plug my car in at night during my stay. Keeping fingers crossed!
They said around the side near some kind of shop that the engineering guys have.Did Squaw Creek say where on property you could charge your car? My family and I just arrived today (not in my MS), and I don't see anywhere to charge. I might ask at the concierge desk in the morning
