Yes, the trip from Tremonton-Idaho Falls doesn't take quite as much juice for me, either.

I've driven that a few times in my P85+; driving right at the speed limit it takes about 200 miles of range in summer.

If I lived in Portland, these would be the superchargers I used the least - I would be charging at home and so go right past them on a road trip. However, since I live in East Oregon, I have felt the lack of a supercharger closer to Portland than 40 miles (Woodburn, so actually the wrong...

I have family in the Four Corners area and this is the best route to get there. It's been few weeks since any update here, so I'm curious as to how construction is progressing? Thanks!

I hadn't considered N/S travel - South there is Wendover, but is there another SC location North that a TF SC would enable access to? And, I travel with my truck/trailer hauling cattle/equipment quite often, and while at 4 axles the 80 mph speed limit applies to me, I wouldn't consider burning...

After my experiences this past week, I would recommend putting one in Mountain Home and one in Burley. If you are going to have only one in Twin Falls, you will have to be completely charged there and then in either Tremonton if heading North or Boise if going South, and out-of-range for a 60kWh...

I wouldn't bet on it - in fact, I would bet against it being powered on by that point. It may be ready to go as far as installed and contractors off-site, but I have stopped by a completed station not yet commissioned before, and they won't turn the power on until the inspections are complete...

Thanks for the heads-up! I guess along with the sound of one hand clapping, a question of the ages for the philosophers will be "Is an HPWC at <80 amps still an HPWC?" Leaving tomorrow morning, expect to hit TF around 2-3, so will try to contact Cleve in the meantime - hopefully he checks his...

We're heading down to SLC this week for a commencement ceremony (wife completed her MBA, congrats to her!), and my sister is getting married the following weekend but it looks like I'm going to have to run back home in between since I have a hay field that will need baling - so back-and-forth...

My hope is that this is completed so quickly that there isn't a point and this will be a dead thread - like by this weekend ;-)

I too have found the trip planner to be a joke, even after the update pushed out this past week. I have a picture of the nav telling me I am going to run out of energy and need to charge, yet routing me past the Supercharger I am in front of. And, when I am heading South (East) on 84 out of La...

Yes, it is interesting that the map/car SC list haven't been updated yet, but my wife and I have charged there 3 times in past week or so. I can post a pic for anyone curious ;-)

My wife just texted that she is charging at the Baker City SC - it is up and on. Yipee!

Just got confirmation from my wife, who was down that way, that it is working and she is charging now - so make your plans to include this SC from now on!

Ah - but I am just a bit further from Boise than Pendleton is, and would have to backtrack over to Pendleton, while Baker City is right on the way and convenient. Plus, while I'm willing to take a risk on range, my wife prefers to take other types of risks, like skydiving or shark diving ;-)

I wonder what "Pedestrain Light Fictures" are? I'm sure if they'd meant "Pedestrian Light Fixtures" they would have written that (in the permit that Rocky_H linked to above),correct? :tongue: Good news anyway no matter how they spell it!

Talked to the wife and we plan to be there - she's never met another Tesla owner (!)

I did get up there late last night and validated - the Pendleton SC is 100% live!

Tesla Supercharger Verified Live Made it up to Pendleton last night and topped off at the casino - the GPS showed it as a destination, and I played around with different destiations to see it included in the route. Thanks Tesla! But, I think I lost a bit more than a tank of gasoline would have...

Pendleton is done - according to updated Supercharger map I'll have to make time to go prove it to myself - maybe tonight! - - - Updated - - -

Supercharger map says this is done - it didn't last night, or my wife would have taken the Tesla to Portland yesterday. Think I'm going to make time to go confirm tonight - but will go up the charge level now just in case, so I can make the whole round trip if necessary! (not sure how much I...

Exactly - When? I can't find that anyone's found out if it is even in permit status. I'd been hoping to take my Tesla to my sister's wedding in SLC in August, but without Boise and Twin Falls, which isn't even listed as "coming soon" yet, it won't work. But, I suppose I'll keep entertaining...

Thanks for sharing - with this completed, my wife will be able to go into Boise for concerts and shopping with our Tesla - as long as she stays overnight to recharge for the trip back to Baker City. Wait - what??? Do I really want this completed??!!

I stopped by earlier today - Looks ready to me, no news on when it will be actually turned on:

Went up to Pendleton today, dropped by the SC site at the casino - it looks complete: I didn't call the casino to find out when the "grand opening" would be, but hopefully next weekend??

My wife and I plan to be there - 40 miles away as the crow flies, 80 by road - we may be the nearest Tesla owners. Just awaiting the "When"!

Hmmm...I haven't found anything for Baker City permits, but that looks closer to the location on the map; it would make much more sense...Ontario may be 166 miles from Pendleton, but those are hard miles, mostly up and over mountains, very little flat. And, it's only 80 miles from Boise - so...

So Robert's link does not show the pins, but the Today link from Cottonwood does - at least on computer #1. I am going to be going by Pendleton later this week; I will snoop around a bit and see if I can find a site physically under construction - near exit 216 ;-)

Well, now I don't know what to think, as two of my computers are not showing the pins and one is - this is after clearing the cache for images. Not supposed to happen that way...OK, I installed a new browser I've never used before and browsed to the site and...the pins are NOT in. Hmmm. It's...

Actually, I did, thanks; I remember because I was kind of laughing to myself when I first saw it about the futility of having it, when there is no way to GET to Boise in the first place, unless you are towed in! Can't drive up from Tremonton, or down from Ritzville/Ellensburg/the Dalles, so it...

Yes - and it could always be a mistake by the person adding the 4 new station opening to bring the total to 423, working from older source data missing the "Coming Soon" updates, and uploading that. Obviously the state of the map does not change the state of reality, but it has been nice to...

Cruelty!

The Pendleton, Baker City, and Boise sites are back off the map again - that feels worse than them never appearing in the first place!

Maybe we should find the construction site and see what the crew wants to make sure the install goes in ahead of schedule ;-)

I took some time a couple-three weeks ago and covered all of the permits for Baker City between Thanksgiving last year and the 20th of March. I'll try forward of that and see if I get a hit.

I've seen a lot of variance with that, but seems to be around 4-5 weeks. I would bet under on a mid-June line.

I found another thread where Cottonwood authoritatively (if originally enigmatically) states that the Pendleton location is actually Wild Horse Casino, just off exit 216. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/45334-Supercharger-%C2%97-Pendleton-OR Any timeline to share, Cottonwood? I...

Just looked at Tesla's "Current" map and Boise, Baker City, and Pendleton are now all officially listed in "Coming Soon" status. Anyone have any further details??

Now that Boise's SuperCharger is on the map to be completed in a few weeks, my Tesla will be coming through quite often. Do any of you have any more exact info on when it will be open/where it is going to be at? It's nice to live in a community that has a supercharger, but if I had my...

Just pulled up Tesla's map and it looks like we have 3 of the five I am most anxious for in process - Pendleton, Baker City, and Boise. Haven't found any other details yet, but I am thinking this could mean that we are mere weeks away from those locations opening! Now, Come On Richland and Twin...

Thanks for the tips - I'll spend some time this weekend sleuthing and see if there is anything else I can add, and will of course post :-)

I like where the I84 chargers will be according to the current 2015 map, but we're already a quarter of the way through the year and there is still not one showing as "coming soon". I have seen other threads that magically seem to have information on progress of SC before the updates hit the...
