Only an hour away, so what's that, about 5 miles? (JK) I'm five hours away, and I'll visit too! Lemme know when, we'll meet up. 😉

Photo from 29 Sep 2023. Looks good enough to eat! However, I've seen lots of Supercharger development get stalled at the 95% line, so it's not over until it's over. 😉

If you mean where's the Supercharger site, the icon on supercharge.info looks exactly right to me. If you mean where's my Smart Car, No.

Construction activity! Woo-hoo! You can just see my little electric Smart ForTwo at the far right.

<whisper> If you build it, they will come... </whisper> 😉

Wow, that's super close to my first house (1983-1989), near Glade & Main. I miss that house, and Euless was nice too. I'll have to visit again some day.

Oh boy, that's already a pretty busy parking lot...

The supercharge.info map pin for this charger is just feet from a fast food place that I frequent, an El Pollo Loco. A dangerous combination! I❤️🤪🐔

The Supercharger is a five minute walk from two major commercial sites: Primm Valley Casino, which is nice, and the Outlet Mall at Primm, which is all but dead, a very sad sight indeed. I hope it can be resuscitated somehow, because it used to be a nice place to shop and eat.

Never forget that at the start of the pandemic the management nitwits at Primm Valley Resort closed their casino (OK, fine, that's their business) but also their lot and blocked access to the Superchargers — deploying highly trained professional armed guards (sarcasm) to make sure nobody got to...

Without having seen this discussion or knowing anything beyond what you'd see on the center display, I happened to visit the Hollister charger on Friday. It now ranks way high on my list of favorite chargers. I was impressed with the restaurant (I had an excellent omelet) and made a quick visit...

I recently noticed that Mesquite NV has appeared on the Tesla.com "Coming soon" map, along with "target opening in 4Q 2021." That'll be a big help for traffic going either direction on I-15, especially if we get a V3 charger. Fingers crossed that Tesla comes through.

I recently made my longest-ever Model S trip, some 4500 miles, including Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Minnetonka MN (relatives) and Cedar Rapids IA (distant relatives). The trip was a lot of fun overall. The worst Supercharger experience was Wall SD where the chargers were blocked off...

I don't really watch this Supercharger location all that closely, but yesterday afternoon (Sat 29 May, Memorial Day weekend) I stopped by for a few kWh and instead of the usual experience of having all 40 chargers to myself or nearly so, I counted 28 various Tesla models there. Amazing. They...

I was going to make a similar comment, but @bkp_duke said it with more eloquence than I ever could. :D I too have been watching that frustrating I-40 gap for ages, and while I've never taken Second Childhood (the name of my Model S) on that particular route, I have with gas burners and I hope...
