Wonder when Tesla will put in some of the cool battery packs to reduce demand charges at Supercharger locations? Those packs will hopefully be backup power as well! :biggrin:

Excellent. That is a crucial link between the Arizona and Utah legs of the nationwide route.

Ref: Hampden Inn, 111 Twin Buttes Rd. Gallup, NM 87301. I called them this afternoon and asked if anyone can message me a few photos of the construction that IS confirmed by them to be underway. We'll see what happens! It often works.. someone with a cell phone is usually willing to take a few photos and send{message them} them to me. If they come through..I'll post asap!!

So they confirmed the construction?

I placed a call earlier to day as well. Yes. They confirmed the construction.

I emailed them about this one, as well as the Primm site. All I got was a canned response. But you should email them, too.

I'm not sure if it's different than what they said to you, but they're apparently looking for something in the area. Here's the response I got:

Hi Gear,
Thank you for your email. Our developers are constantly looking for new sites in Southern California to facilitate long distance travel for our customers and are currently looking into sites in the San Bernardino/Ontario area. You can formally make your suggestion to directly to our developer team here.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and support of Tesla and our Supercharger technology.

Thanks,
Tesla Supercharger Team

I really hope they find something in Ontario as that's more convenient for me, but I'd take either one!

No, that's a little bit more specific than what I received.

I am going down to see the status of the Farmington, NM Supercharger this week. On the off chance that they want to test it, with a range charge and some hypermile driving, I could make it to Gallup and back to Farmington for a charge to get home to Pagosa. Maybe I will do this after Farmington opens. BTW, there are two "Hampton Inns" in Farmington. The one at 111 Twin Buttes Rd is the Hampton Inn, Gallup West.

According to the Google Maps satellite view, that is one seriously small parking lot in which to shoehorn a Supercharger along with hotel parking; let's hope they've added some more parking since that photo was taken. Not too much else around that interchange, either.

BTW, you clearly meant to write "...there are two HI's in Gallup."

Update on San Juan Capistrano:

Ground has technically been broken but there is little more than a trench and a pile of gravel.

 

[FredTMC]

Callmesam, thx for de update! This is exciting to me. I hope to attend the ribbon cutting with Santa

 

[callmesam]

Would be nice to see before the end of the year, but I can be patient . . . well, I can try.

five weeks more needed, unfortunately. I stopped by and talked to the foreman. Nice guy... He said I was the sixth guy to stop by today. LOL.

I got a nice reply from Tesla in response to my suggestion to create a network of HPWC, Level 2 chargers to backup the Supercharger network. It looks like they are already on it.

Thank you for your email and feedback. We are looking into the issue with the preemptive map population.

We are in fact already beginning to develop a Level 2 charging infrastructure and will make more announcements to customers as the program starts to develop.

We appreciate your enthusiasm and support of Tesla and our Supercharger technology.

Thanks,

They may need to factor in "chatting with MS owners" into their schedule!

two cents on SJC. This doesn't look anything like a Tesla Supercharging site from all the others that we have seen built. Has anyone asked the crew {or anyone in the area} there what this is? Are we certain that this is the location for Superchargers? It just looks odd:crying:! Humm…..?

 

[airj1012]

Was Worthington, MN on the Tesla site before today? Getting hard to keep them straight!
