Even though the status of the Sheridan, WY Supercharger is "opening soon," it is taking forever...
Bighorn has connected me with the owner of the Hampton Inn in Sheridan, WY. The hotel owner is a Tesla owner and supporter, recommended by Bighorn. For some reason, Tesla has denied his request for a free HPWC through the Destination Charging program.
He is willing to pay for the installation of an HPWC with the full 100/80 Amp service at The Hampton Inn, offer its complementary use to guests, and to offer its use to others for at most a small day use fee that would include use of the WiFi and pool at the hotel.
For the purchase price of $750 for an HPWC, this sounds like a great deal for Tesla Owners! Even after the Sheridan Supercharger opens (someday...), Sheridan will be a useful overnight stop for cross-country travelers, and this HPWC at a hotel will be more convenient than Supercharging then checking in somewhere.
He also owns hotels in Gillette, WY and Casper, WY. To put HPWC's in those locations, he would want us to pay for the HPWC and installation. Let's see how much interest we can raise for Sheridan and start there first. If all goes well, and we have great interest to continue, then we can consider Gillette and Casper later.
Let's keep this simple, I am willing to ante up $250 if we can raise the other $500 (and change for shipping and tax). If you are in for this, all I need is your pledge to send me the funds via PayPal. You can make your pledge in this thread or PM me. Once we have the pledges in place, I will act as the banker, order the HPWC for Sheridan, and PM PayPal info to the supporters.
I would love to hear thoughts, comments, suggestions, and know who's in?
