They say hope is eternal, but I am starting to doubt it. While on a donut run (Dee's Donuts are amazing!), we cruised through where the chargers should be constructed. No action at all... nothing... nada. I am starting to think this one won't be constructed.

This is us. We have a 2023 MYLR and then added a F150 Lightning about 7 months later. The comfort of the Lightning is so nice, my wife wants something that has similar comfort, but she (we) love the Tesla. We actually use the third row in the MY at least once a month, so the Model X is the...

Interesting... When Tesla opened (some) V3 Superchargers to non-Teslas, this site was not one of the included ones. Makes sense I guess since there are only 8 stalls that are very busy and there is a new/larger site just down the road. But... I just noticed this week that something changed and...

On the drive back from Southern California to Vegas, it felt like every-other car was a Tesla. We stopped at Eddie's World for lunch and figured we would charge since we were there anyway. Lol.... line of Tesla's out onto the street. The funny thing is that about 10 miles down the road are 40...

I think most people would prefer not to block anybody else from charging, but when you need a charge to continue, you need a charge.

I will PM you to keep this thread from going off topic. (Anybody feel free to ask if you want my opinions specific to comparing our MYLR to the Lightning)

For the first portion of your post.... 100% agreed. We have a MYLR and a Lightning. When in the Tesla, knowing CCS is a backup just gives us piece of mind. Now, then driving road trips in the Lightning, the CCS network will be my default, but knowing I can get a charge from Tesla will just...

My understanding is there is some software/hardware necessity that not all V3 stations currently have. Maybe Tesla just left some V3 stations Tesla-only on purpose, but I think we all hope that over time all V3 stations will be open to all EVs (through hardware/software updates) and help...

It looks like Tesla strategically kept some V3 sites exclusive to Tesla. My guess this is based on how busy they are already. If the site is struggling to keep up with Tesla demand, it wouldn't be smart to suddenly add more vehicles trying to use the chargers. The find us map on the Tesla...

When the non-Teslas were originally designed, the prospect of using the supercharger network wasn't a possibility. Car companies couldn't agree on a charging connector let alone the location for that connector. (This is not a new problem either... the location to fill up with gas isn't...

First... We have have a MYLR and a Lightning... Just putting that out there. Backing up the Lightning (what you mentioned you didn't want to see coming at you) is super easy with the parking sensors and 360 degree camera. The MY may have a tighter turning radius, but the Lightning is much...

Actually.... this is the guidance from Tesla. source: Tesla Blesses Fords At Superchargers Using Up Two Or Three Spaces

This is a pretty small location. I am surprised they opened it to non-Teslas.

I think (100% could be wrong) the member EA price on my last trip was $0.43/kW. Two charges and the membership was covered for the month.

The v4 cabinets (which there aren't many yet) have longer cables and are placed in the center of the parking spot. The v3s (which are what are open to Fords) are going to be tough. Advice I am seeing: Try to park on the end. If you can't, look for a spot next to another non-Tesla. At least...
