Reporting back after picking up some friends flying in from Canada, and road tripping to Riverton/Thermopolis: Starting from a ~95% charge in Laramie Friday morning, the plan was to pick up three passengers from the Denver Airport, then head up the I-25 all the way to Casper. Of course, best...

Great suggestions, thanks to both of you! I was looking at some of the individual distances and not the trip as a whole, but you're both right. I'll stick to the I-25 since that seems to 7 minutes shorter. I'll come back and relay my experiences afterwards.

So, I'm planning a mid-Wyoming weekend road trip in the M3 LR: I'm picking up three friends from the Denver airport on Friday, and plan on pushing through to Casper and the Hat Six supercharger Friday evening. Overnight in Casper, then guided horseback riding in Riverton. Charging (albeit...

Googling "Wyoming front plate requirement" gave me this: Rawlins catching up with state’s front plate regulations | Bigfoot 99 Radio I guess state law has a "if equipped" loophole, municipal ordinance might be hit or miss? I did notice that the front plate replies so far have been Model S...

Hey Tim, thanks for the info (and, Hoback: that Hoback Market is the greatest little grocery store!) I'd also prefer not to give LEOs a reason to stop me. But I've also read that some people have had issues with sticky tape on the stock front plate mount. I don't know if this is the same for...

Oooh, I didn't think to ask while we were there. Knock on wood we won't have to.... We were never given the option. At ordering, the only pick-up location presented was SLC. And then, when scheduling pick up, we were just grateful enough to have it set for a weekend given the 6hr drive from...

Not sure if this thread is revivable, but this is a call out to all Wyoming Teslas. The wife and I just picked up our M3LR, and had to trek all the way out to Salt Lake City from Laramie. I see there's a Jackson Hole Tesla club, but anyone in SE Wyoming?

GRADUATION DAY UPDATE: Picked up Saturday afternoon from SLC after a 6hr drive from Laramie. First: Red Multicoat looks absolutely gorgeous in person. Even the wife wholeheartedly agreed it was totally worth the upcharge. Second: it looks like we got matrix headlights. I'm currently charging...

You know, when I read that the first time, I just assumed you meant your SA knew you by name - as in your real, legal name. But then I thought, what are the chances they know you by your screen-name?? On another note, my delivery date (confirmed now in triplicate) happens to land on the very...

Damn, I just noticed your order deets: You ordered before we did, but don't have a VIN assigned yet?? What's the difference? Red vs Blue?

I was going nuts checking nearly daily, and I'm pretty sure I didn't see it in the source code even the day before or the day of VIN assignment. But, hopefully that's not your experience! 🚗🚗🚗

This is way off topic, but yeah, I'm not touching American politics without a substantial amount of alcohol. It's sticker shock for sure since my wife and I are originally from Ontario, and we're coming previously $120/yr - now $0 per year thanks to Premier Ford. In Wyoming, they base the...

Damn, I thought we had it bad with delivery location. But I guess only certain locations are set up to register in certain states? Registering in Wyoming is going to be a joy: registration fee is going to be in the range of ~$900 annually, plus $200 for the privilege of registering an electric...

I know there's been a lot of hit or miss with SA experiences, but I thought I'd share mine: Our VIN had just shown up a couple of days after the EDD narrowed to May 6-10. Since we would have about a 6hr drive to our Salt Lake City pick-up from Laramie (this was the only delivery option I was...

VIN assignment: 247,3xx Days from order to VIN: 104 EDD Window: 108-112 days from order Not the longest wait listed in the tracker spreadsheet... But, not the shortest. I've just got my fingers crossed the delivery date ends up on a weekend, given the 6hr drive from Laramie to Salt Lake City
