Seriously? The distance between Lafayette and the various SpChs in the Indy area just doesn't seem that long.[T]here is one in Zionsville under construction, at Meijer.

I know it, especially when the idea of Superchargers is for road trips. The N & NE side of Indy are set, time to expand.Seriously? The distance between Lafayette and the various SpChs in the Indy area just doesn't seem that long.

It'd be great to have one somewhere along I-74 between, say, IN-63 and Danville, IL. The SpCh in Champaign isn't super convenient for where we go when we're there (campus area), and in the summer we can usually do the round trip (from Lafayette) on one charge, but having a charger along the way would lessen anxiety and allow for just a quick "top up" if it starts getting dicey (as happens on super-cold winter trips).You’re right. However, going on I74 to/from Champaign IL SC is tight on batteries with 200 or so mile range.
Did you perhaps mean I-69?Anyone here in the Evansville area? Pretty sure the Supercharger there will go into the Meijer parking lot - it’s close to I65 and it’s a Meijer. We should start monitoring that location for equipment.
Yeah, my error. Just been driving I65 a lot lately so had that on my mind. Although I do live off I69Did you perhaps mean I-69?
Welcome! These days there are enough Superchargers in and near Indiana that you can go pretty much anywhere with no worries. You won't really know what loving your Tesla is like until you do your first substantial road trip.Hi everyone, just picked up my black model 3 a couple weeks ago and loving it. Live in Carmel and excited to join the community!

It's funny. For a while it seemed like I was seeing them increasingly often, but then that at least leveled off if not outright declined. Of course, it's possible with time I've just become less observant, but it is pretty hard to miss a Tesla among all of those other quotidian cars out thereRoherHScott, how easy is it for you to spot other Teslas in the Lafayette area these days? I'd imagine Purdue being there would help.
I recall walking through downtown Lafayette a year ago and seeing a Model 3 (back when 3's were hard to come by) and being pleasantly surprised. I should be back there again next week to see how things have changed.
What's "convenient", of course, depends on your car's range. And, as all of us Midwestern Tesla owners are painfully aware, weather conditions. You just know if Tesla were based in Chicago rather than Palo Alto it'd be a rather different car.Except down 69 south. Wanted to go to Big Splash Adventure with the kids for Spring Break, but couldn’t figure out how to get home. At least Holiday World (closed) has a solution. I emailed the BSA team the suggestion to get some destination chargers.

Try to plot a trip to Holiday World or Big Splash Adventure using your car or abetterrouteplanner.com. It’s a dead zone down in Southwest Indiana. Only way to get back is pray you can get to 1.5 hours east to Louisville and charge back up again to head North to Indy. Your car will struggle no matter the range just because there’s nothing there. Bloomington and Evansville superchargers are long overdue.
Separately, is anyone aware of the type of electrical outlets available at Turkey run State Park in the electric campsites? I couldn’t find this information online.
I had but nothing listed. But the sites have electrical hence asking if anyone here knows.Check the PlugShare app.
I looked on www.RVparky.com--It's sorta like plugshare, but for RV camping/tripping--which said there was 50 Amp service (i.e. NEMA 14-50 receptacles). But I didn't read the reviews/check-ins which would likely give a fuller description of the exact services and their layout, as well as any access challenges, problems, or inconveniences routinely encountered in accessing them.I had but nothing listed.
