As for the other part of my trip, Milli and I went to Burns, which is half way between Bend and Ontario, Oregon. There is NO charging planned by Tesla along this corridor, so a couple friends and myself found people we could work with and now there is a 70 amp charger half way between Bend, and Ontario, Or. The people there are super nice, lots of little shops, places to eat are a short walk down the street.
TESLA NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT THIS BLACK HOLE in their SC plan - along with others, of course. There is no way to get from Bend across the state to Boise area and thence up to Walla Walla, Spokane, etc. or south to Winnemucca and Reno. So, we are working on it.
