In Two Weeks photo above, there is an existing transformer of the size Tesla uses at the very left edge, 1/3 from the top of the photo. It is already working (providing audio feedback) so I don’t think that is the one Tesla will be using. In the back corner where the new stalls are going is a...

My “boots on the ground” source had dinner at Whistle Hill tonight and also spoke with the owner. Superchargers are going there, construction starts next week, and will be done in 2 weeks.

Hmmm. Fresh off an 8k mile road trip, and with over 400 SC visits behind me, that Whistle Hill location doesn't strike me as the most likely. The geolocation pin on Tesla's map puts the location near the Kenai-Spur-Highway, distinctly away from the destination charger at Whistle Hill. From the...

Ah, but I’ll be down there for 10 days, so that maybe a slim chance? 🥸

Yes please (pictures and status)! I'll be passing through there next week and if there's a working Supercharger, I might borrow a Model 3 in Anchorage and drive it down.

On your computer, bookmark the map page. Then, on your iPhone (or better, an iPad), open the link. It's rather difficult to navigate on an iPhone as the screen just isn't big enough. It work quite great on an iPad tethered to your phone. You can also add the maps page to the Tesla web browser...

My buddy tows 3 different trailers with his Model X. His range is slightly more than half when towing in the summer and worse than half when towing in the winter. He bought the Model X last fall with the largest battery option available and he'd be happier with an even bigger battery.

I just was looking at Tesla's list and it shows Chelan as "Coming Soon." I have a trip planned to the Pasayten and currently it's a bit of a stretch to get out there and back to Leavenworth, meaning I'll have to stop off at a L2 for a while. I'm guessing I shouldn't be holding my breath for...

And never forget, it's not realistic unless you tear up at least ten of them. BOAT = Break Out Another Thousand. A while ago I frequently helped my father-in-law get additional quality time on his boat after he lacked the physical stamina to do so on his own. During all that quality time I...

i wouldn’t worry about Snoqualmie Pass, I spent the weekend out there sheltering in place at our ski lodge. There’s little snow left and adding a few inches (if we get lucky) to the area won’t impact the pass much, if at all. I-90 stays open even in really big snows. Then you just need to keep...

You may get a view of Tatoosh Island. I’ve piloted a boat through that passage and could only see Tatoosh on the boats radar. Even on a sunny day, there’s often a boundary layer just off the coast.

I saw several stations with L2 chargers in the same lot as the superchargers. One was in Reno, don't recall where I saw the others.

I charged at a couple 250s for the first time on my trip. At one station, I plugged in, failed, re-plugged, failed again, and then moved over a stall. Failed again. After moving over again, success! Then someone else pulled in, plugged into the first charger we had failed twice with and it...

I have two updates. On March 5th I visited 'Mt. Shasta - 134 Morgan Way, CA.' I did not visit 'Mt. Shasta, CA' (111 Morgan Way). I didn't realize there were TWO superchargers at Mt. Shasta just feet apart. :( On Feb 29th I visited 'Miami FL - SW 24th Street'. It was on my list of visits but...

Pack yourself a lunch. :p

I grew up in Harrietta Michigan, in the heart of the snow belt. It's not many miles north of your stop in Baldwin on M-37. Lake effect snow is music to my ears. On a good year, we'd have snow on the ground (permanently) by the 1st of November. Out here in Seattle, I spend so many winter weekends...

We did pass more Tesla's along the route than normal. You weren't in one of them per chance? On a normal trip (ie, where I didn't have to get back to Seattle in time to make it out to our ski lodge on Friday), had I known I'd have waited around and joined in a parade.

Interesting question. I didn't log data to answer that, but I've now tabulated my data and I can give you answers that are close. These estimates do not have exact SC address, side trips are not included (in Tampa & DFW areas), and I didn't log exactly where we were when the clock struck...

I can’t imagine driving 3 days straight with only naps while charging, but that’s quite feasible for a team. I don’t sleep great (an hour here, another there), but it’s enough that we can keep the wheels in motion except when charging. We’re actually still on that same push, closing in on...

You are correct, Mar 4 is the correct day.

I agree, and would like the same. That might even be a nice default.

This fits my thinking. It’s a game, it should be fun, and the rules shouldn’t create perverse incentives. When the 51% rule is applied to teams, it makes perfect sense and the two teammates keep each other honest. When it’s a competitor and a non-competitive copilot, the rule makes little sense...

There’s hundreds of posts of history before I joined so I missed some nuance. It also means I’ve made some significant optimization error. We’re taking a different route back so have driven far out of our way to visit SCs that I haven’t been to. Not realizing exactly how the de minimus clause...

That happened very recently. I was looking at that station in Nav this afternoon and it showed active then.

I need some clarification. In this case, the trip to Tampa is mine for a meeting. I chose to drive my Tesla to collect SCs and all of the charge sessions are billed on my Tesla account. My neighbor, a retired non-Tesla owner wanted to see a couple communities in Florida and offered to help...

The Coral Gables one is named “Miami FL - SW 24th Street” in the Tesla Nav. We visited that one on the way to Florida City so I wasn’t awake and missed entering it. Riviera Beach is named “West Palm Beach, FL - Garden Road” and is already checked off my list. We missed the clean sweep by not...

Miami is weird! We were there from 2-4 AM on a Saturday morning (late late Friday night) and the city was still surprisingly alive. We aimed to breeze in, nab all the SCs and blow out. We didn’t dinged for any of the parking fees by only charging until the meter registered $0.26, then out and...

Like I said, we had an early start. :-) Two drivers helps a lot, one can get some shut eye while the others watches the Tesla tear up the road. We had more than those in “a 24 hour period” because that haul started when we left Tampa. We just rolled into the Miami area as the clock rolled over...

Yes, quite indeed. Not a family trip, just myself and a copilot (neighbor). Non-stop except for every supercharger along the route, and any near the route that didn’t cost “too much” time. Here’s a few more: Feb 28th Altamonte Springs, FL - 12:22 AM Orlando, W. Sand Lake Rd, FL Celebration...

You aren’t kidding! I’ve driven I-90 from sea to sea, and SEA to Chicago a handful of times and have now, thanks to this silly game, driven a good chunk of I-80. There’s an awful lot of miles to cover on that road before the scenery changes. Not much competition for the Superchargers either.

I had it listed earlier (in my trip plan) as Pendleton but IIRC, I updated it to match the name shown in the Nav. I did that with another location too, but I’m forgetting which one it was. Feb 25th visits Toole, UT South Salt Lake City, UT Evanston, WY Rock Springs, WY Rawlins, WY Laramie, WY...
