Super 8 has a Tesla plug. I have one at my home a block away in Grangeville…slow but an option if you need it.
Several discussions at city meetings have not approved Superchargers yet.
Only four Teslas in Idaho county when i registered mine in 2020.

I am aware of the chargers that the good folks at the Super 8 make available. And thanks for your offer as well!
Public DC chargers are approved and funded in Kamiah, Grangeville and my town as well. It's a shame they are being held up. Possibly the good side will be that by the time they are approved, they will be NACS.
Thanks
I’m in McDermott now
Parts are on order per store clerk. Her guess is another month before setup complete

Hi all. I never go through here but will be going from Nampa south to Winemucca…. Will I get stuck as it seems this supercharger bank won’t be open by July 6 when I go through… or will I be OK at the shell recharge stations?
I wish this was open for the holiday weekend!

This all depends. Those existing stations only have CHAdeMO and CCS plugs. Do you have an adapter for either of those plug types, and is your car CCS enabled?

Yes it’s a new model 3 RWD and I have every adaptor and charger made. Including a TT30! I guess I’ll stop at the shell recharge station.
Tesla supercharger map still says Q2 on this site. Could it actually be operational by Friday?

Also does anyone know if the say when casino is open or closed and do their level 2 chargers work? Hard to find out simple info! Thank you all. Can’t wait to pass through your great cities.
OK, then yep, it should probably work, although I would not expect it to work on the first try. That station has been difficult. So you may have to try one cable or the other, one station or the other, go through a couple of credit card read failures, app activation communication errors, etc. etc.
Probably not.
The casino I think is open, but they shut off access to their level 2 chargers on the back of the building quite a while ago--don't know why. Backup option is that there is another Shell Recharge station farther South in Orovada.
You’ll be fine as long as you download the Shell Recharge app and create a login profile before leaving for your road-trip. Cell service in McDermitt (Option #1) is poor. I can’t remember for sure, but I believe cell service is also poor in Orovada, NV (Option #2) at the second Shell Recharge station. I agree—it would be nice if the SC in McDermitt will be up-and-running by July 6th, but it doesn’t sound likely.
ATTACHED are screenshots of my recent charges in McDermitt…
Be sure to use Connector 2 (Station ID: 52318). The other charging station (there are two) wasn’t working when I passed through 5wks ago.
Good luck!

Thank you all. I’m looking forward to this. Quick question, I’m assuming going north to south (toward Winnemucca) you lose more range from going up in elevation… is that right?
Yes. I would count on it.
Interestingly, the range at arrival estimate the car had during our trip varied mightily. It went up at first and then dropped by 19 percent as we drove. Stayed at the speed limit uniI saw it falling off a cliff, then I slowed down to be sure. It wasn't a problem, but it reinforced how far off that it can be. There's no cell service for a significant portion of the trip, and maybe that's why the estimate wasn't accurate.

Not sure about that. What I can tell you is that it is 254mi from my home to the SC in Winnemucca, and I could not make it there without charging at the end of March. It was obviously colder then. Even when I went back through at the end of May, I was unable to make it the full way, as I had to stop and charge for a bit in McDermitt. I drive a 2023 Model Y (LR/AWD).
I feel even more amazed at actually meeting the legend who did that entire drive in an old Model S P85. Arrived with 9 rated miles showing. They did have to charge a bit doing it in the uphill direction though.

Wow here in LA they opened a site with 24 more superchargers in Burbank slated for Q2! Maybe today or tomorrow the McDermitt ones will go live! That would be so nice!
I did the drive when the casino was an option for a bump in McDermott in my old 2014 S P85
