Greenford Ford Lincoln dealer was welcoming and receptive. Happily let me charge to reach Nashville. Slow service in the ihop next door helped. Also there's no place you can't reach in a tesla driving in the beautiful country back roads @ 55 mph

Approached Hilton in Bowling green tonight for charging. They didn't have any rooms available and the tesla HPWC was not in use. The front desk person refused to let me charge stating that it is for patrons only. Wouldn't talk to anyone above him. Very disappointing.

I charged yesterday morning with out a hitch, navigation now shows that its operational. Hopefully this is serviced and totally alive.

I guess they are taking their own sweet time, the SC didn't work this afternoon, I am charging at a green lots CHADEMO about 4 miles from the SC

I used it on feb 21, despite the nav showing out of service, it worked fine

Time for solar panels and battery packs at the superchargers

I am in Marion IL with a 14-50 at home, I am 135 miles from St.Charles supercharger and 190 miles to Brentwood TN, if you have a Chademo adapter 160 miles to the Nissan dealership in Clarkesville, I had few owners stop by charge, let me know if you would like to

I tried 1a, 2a and 2b and there wasn't any difference, this was about midnight, was on the phone with supercharger support for about 15 min. Didn't return to the supercharger later

Supercharger wasn't putting out more than 30 amps last night, tesla support informed

That's great news, I have to rescind my message above. That was when I initially picked up my car and the place was stuffed with cars then. I have done many trips to STL and They have gone above and beyond to get me charged up. HPWC is awesome news.

If you choose to drive slowly be mindful of traffic behind you, I have driven off the motorway many times just to avoid the fast traffic and was pleasantly surprised at the peaceful rural routes and scenery.

Any information about charging options for the road trippers at this location?

That is at 75mph and A/C @ 68F with wife, three kids aged under seven years, frunk and trunk full , at 60 mph the rated range would be exact. I would pay attention to energy consumption and keep it under 320 and slow down to improve range. Multiple times I have chosen to drive slow than charge...

This is a rough estimate, my trips to St.Louis 130 miles away @ 75mph take about 20 miles worth of range per the rated range and distance travelled by the trip meter. This is for summer travel.

For people on I - 57 , I am in Marion with a 14-50 in the garage , the local Nissan dealership and Community college have J 1772 stations

Sorry, I meant a literal interpretation of 'political action committee', an alliance of citizens and politicians with the same passion for tesla, EV revolution and the business aspect of it . I am sure there are a handful and they wouldn't mind networking to fight or support the relevant...

This should be the PAC, an alliance comprising owners, politicians who are owners, politicians who are enthusiasts, politicians with tesla owners in family and friends. If a PAC of this sorts can be compiled at national and state level it would be a force to deal with politically for the sneaky...

Thanks for the march, will do my best to join the next one if called for. Very proud of the community.

I think my problem was taken up, pursued and solved because Danny at StLouis service centre did his due diligence, car is back home, all is well

Problem fixed, pinched wire by the TPMS assembly, it senses/controls the stability, traction features. Delivery today, excellent service

Great news, now time for superchargers on southern Illinois and MO

The symptoms occurred again at the service center and they are working on it. Car will be ready in a day.

Thanks for the advice, they checked my logs and are picking the car up to investigate. Great service by Danny

I have been this message since three days intermittently. Every time the car would be at about 25-35 mph city driving. One instance the traction control disabled message appeared alongside and regen was disabled too. Tesla helpline guy said that if the messages disappear they are nothing to be...

Very sorry to hear this FlasherZ, hopefully SC will make it right, curious to know what went wrong

The omnipresent Chargepoint J stations did no more than 14miles per hr charging this snow season

Thanks, there's is a dot that approximates on StLouis on the 2014 map, I am thinking there might be a new service station/supercharger combo there

Any rumors/news/updates about the 2014 superchargers in stLouis, southern Illinois area, with decreasing rated range as my MS clocks 16K miles, I am having to slow down for an hr or two to reach destinations

I work alternate weeks and all the enthusiast/fan meets so far have been in my work week/weekends....may be next time

Thanks for the suggestions, spoke to the Plaza guys and would be taking the car next month. Will post how it goes. Mean while Gatlinburg in 2 weeks

There was a reversing incident, not too bad, no denting but scratches to the rear fender. needs body shop work, recommendations in StLouis or around please. Thanks

The total trip was 2000 miles, 9 days, average 305 wh/mi.

All the lucky people who get o live in the beautiful Michigan, I did a road trip recently These are the places where I charged in my recent trip Normal Supercharger Tesla Showroom, Oakbrook Two Rivers , WI - villageinnwi.com, this is a motel with a RV campground attached to it, call them...

These are the places where I charged in my recent trip around the Lake Michigan Normal Supercharger Tesla Showroom, Oakbrook Two Rivers , WI - villageinnwi.com, this is a motel with a RV campground attached to it, call them ahead and they will give you a room and book a 50 amp RV site for...

The vanity mirror on the driver side shows your second row passenger side rider like non other car I had did, in my case it's my 5 year old daughter and it was great for our road trip.

Norway is a private property, I found some hotels with 30 amp outlets in Munising, paradise MI that might work. I am planning to camp of weather permits. Thanks for your help, my return leg would be St. Ignace/ Mackinaw city, Harbor springs , Petosky, Charlevoix, Traverse city, Lansing...

Hello Michigan and Wisconsin TMC, we are in the beautiful Door county on a road trip, any suggestions for charging? Next destination is upper peninsula - short of camping there is not much choice, inputs appreciated.

first time supercharging at Normal, awesome experience, good location, on our way to Upper peninsula. Tesla tech and vision rocks

Where are you staying and charging in the UP

There should be a "Tesla Ready" badge or a trademark that should be awarded to hotels making tesla charging infrastructure available. There's no reason not to market our brand when the expenses for the hotels to install least a couple 15-40 is very small and the publicity, business oppurtunity...

Thanks very much, will keep in mind. That's going to be very helpful. My rules have always been to have 30% rated range as a buffer, the options I had last night were with a charging rate of 16 mph to sit for 2 hrs and build the buffer or hit the road slowly and get home, fortunately the route...

Returned from StLouis science museum last night with a rated range of 130 miles, drove 125 highway miles home with 20 miles of rated range remaining. Adds up to a gain of 15 miles. Drove at 45 mph, heavy rain through out, 257 wh/mi. Moral of the story - drive slow go far. Need to really watch...

Looking for model s owner Srinivas who posted pictures of several chargers in StLouis on Recargo.com on the 29th of June, Please PM thanks

Great info, opens the roads for summer

Thanks once again, we would need to stop for an hour if we need to on our way back. Will get in touch with you in advance, likewise if you visit giant city state park or garden of the gods I am in the area with 14-50

Thanks Flasherz, last month we took the rural scenic Route 3 because that takes us to Chesterfield directly bypassing the east side and we wanted to conserve energy going 55mph. Usually our route is 57 N and then 64E. I usually have my 6 and 2 year olds with me and I hesitate to stop at...

Thanks Bluefeugo for the excellent reply, will try out the Brentwood site and report next week and probably the botanical gardens too. Have a good day

My round trip usually is about 270 miles, to be able to roam around StLouis and return with a buffer range of 50 miles I need charging options. Level 2 @ 20-30mph for few hours would help, ideal if it is in shopping district. Surprised no malls have chargers installed. Recargo lists...

Tesla stores and service centers in the supercharging deserts should have 24/7 charging option for Tesla, nothing too expensive but functional. These places are in cities and it would be infinitely helpful for visitors, tesla store oakbrook was awesome in accommodating me. Normal superchargers...

Out of the car wash there is no water in the cabin but definite water in all the four door and hatch crevices . I have to mop all those surfaces or it leaves water marks, the rubber lining that watertights the car makes seal a little interior to all the opposing edges and hence my experience.
