In an experiment today, my PoweWall/Gateway setup would not start without Grid Power. Here is the sequence that I followed to do a cold restart of my system that consists of a 125A breaker on my main panel feeding a gateway connected to a backup panel and a generation panel with 9.9 kW of Solar...

I thought that having a thread for tips, tricks, and destination suggestions for driving Tesla's into out beautiful mountains would make a good thread. I will start with some interesting places in SW Colorado and Northern New Mexico. Full disclosure: I helped set up the 70 Amp J-Plugs in...

Tesla seems to be trying to guilt TMC Paparazzi into not taking pictures of Supercharger Construction Sites. They seem to be using an approach that I will call the Construction Worker Hostage Program (CWHP). They are having the construction worker tell us TMCers that they the workers will get...

A nice product for Tesla to produce and sell (maybe at a reasonable price...) would be a Moderate-Power, Tesla-connector DC charger. This would be a great product for high power home charging and a high end Destination Charger. Just like Superchargers, Destination Chargers, and reasonable...

From I-44 Superchargers in Missouri-maybe talked to the right person finally The press release at CNB to install electric car chargers at Hard Rock states: At its Oct. 28 meeting, the Cherokee Nation Businesses board of directors unanimously approved a ground lease with Tesla Motors to...

I've heard from reliable sources that there is a Supercharger on the way to Kingsland, GA. This should help fill in the gap between Savannah, GA and St Augustine, FL. The 102 mile distance from Savannah, GA to Kingsland, GA and 69 miles from Kingsland, GA to St Augustine, FL should work a lot...

A reliable source has indicated that the Gap Supercharger location between Denver and Trinidad will be in Colorado Springs. Keep an eye out for permits in Colorado Springs or nearby towns! This will complete the southern route out of Colorado nicely... I was a little surprised because on...

My almost 3-year old Sig P85 was upgraded to 6.2 (2.4.253) recently. I discovered a significant bug: The sunroof will open, but won't close. Luckily, it was a nice sunny day. After talking to service, I found out that this is a known bug with recent firmware. The workaround is...

I heard from a reliable source that Tallahassee should be starting to happen soon. No info on an exact location, but keep your eyes open in the Sunshine State! This will be a very nice connection on the I-10 route, but it sure has taken a while...

Summary: Demand Charges can dominate the cost of a business offering EV charging, and the true costs can be shocking... Most of us are used to looking at our home electricity costs as a pure energy cost that is measured in dollars per kiloWatt-hour ($/kWh). These can vary a lot, with the...

I am helping with the EV charging at a local community center. We are considering putting in a CHAdeMO/CCS Level 3 charging station. I would love to hear suggestions, reviews, and opinions of Charging Networks and Chargers, both good and bad. I know that the Charging Network and the Charger...

Being an EV person, I have been asked to consult with adding EV charging to a new community center in my town. We are installing conduit from the electrical room to 4 spaces in the parking lot. For a cost effective, general solution, we will probably install one of the ClipperCreek Dual...

That is hard to do, but this video of a 4-year old girl getting her first aerobatic ride with dad does seem to beat the Tesla Grin! It's a little hard to make out between giggles, but the little French Canadian Girl is screaming "Encore, Encore!" to her dad. Who else has videos beating the...

From Supercharger - Trinidad, CO - Page 5: See Wildwood Casino - Cripple Creek, CO — PlugShare. They have an 80-Amp HPWC and a 32 Amp J1772 for guests. This looks like a great road trip from Denver or Boulder. See Google Maps — Denver to Cripple Creek, 111 miles and 2:40, one way. The...

See my tires for sale at 4 Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 Tires 245/45R19 Shipping tires is expensive. This could be a great deal on a set of studded winter tires for someone in Colorado that will stop by my house in Boulder to pick them up. Takes care of the shipping costs.

I heard a strong hint that this Supercharger would be associated with some "Wild Horses" southeast of Pendleton; 2333 was another hint.

My P85D is in Boulder, CO with 6.2. Given that I drove to San Diego and back a few weeks ago, I decided to give the Trip Planning feature a try to see how it worked compared to my manual trip planning. The first test was to put in a trip to Del Mar, CA from the car's location in Boulder, CO...

This looks like it could be the next big route push for Superchargers. Take look at the Google Maps route that I overlaid with a screen capture of Tesla's 2015 map: The route looks like: The Dalles, OR - Open Pendleton, OR Baker City, OR Boise, ID Twin Falls, ID Tremonton, UT Salt Lake...

Even though the status of the Sheridan, WY Supercharger is "opening soon," it is taking forever... Bighorn has connected me with the owner of the Hampton Inn in Sheridan, WY. The hotel owner is a Tesla owner and supporter, recommended by Bighorn. For some reason, Tesla has denied his...

Trinidad, CO appears to be "Opening Soon" on the Tesla "Today" map. I exchanged e-mails with the head of the Building Department in Trinidad, and he told me that there is a permit application from Tesla that is being reviewed. The location will be: 9700 Santa Fe Trail Trinidad, CO 81082 -...

With the CHAdeMO adapter shipping, I decided to try to see how much time it would take to get a charge in an 85 with a CHAdeMO charger. Many CHAdeMO chargers are limited to 50 kW and 125 Amps. In addition, the Tesla CHAdeMO adapter is limited to 125 Amps. I put this together with Battery...

With the CHAdeMO Adapter starting to ship, we should start reviewing how well different Make and Model CHAdeMO charging stations work with a Tesla. As we know, a Model S can be a much longer, sustained load on a CHAdeMO charger than a Leaf. If we start getting some consistent reports, good...

I'm about to pull the trigger on canceling my Sig X reservation. The X was always too big for me, but I wanted AWD. A P85D should be delivered to me in December to give me AWD way sooner than waiting for the X. I don't have any friends or family that are interested in the Sig X; will...

There has been a lot of discussion of hotels, restaurants, etc, installing Tesla HPWC's or High Amp J1772, aka High Amp Level 2 (HAL2), EVSE's. The advantage of the HPWC is that it is less expensive. The advantage of the HAL2 is that uses the J1772 standard, and all EVs that use that standard...

I love living in remote SW Colorado, but rodents looking for a comfortable home are a constant problem. The local mice have decided that the Tesla Frunk is a great place to make a home. This all started last year when I left the car in the garage for a few weeks while I was gone and left...

It just appeared at Supercharge.Info The real question is how it was discovered... We need pictures!

Take a look at the attached pictures. I cannot plug my MS into either the HPWC or my UMC this morning. There is some sort of mechanical interference. It looks like a piece of one of the charge port power contacts broke off into the HPWC connector. See the pictures below. Tesla is on the way...

I called around and no one at the obvious businesses knew anything about a Tesla Supercharger. I then looked on the Hays, KS town website, and they had no on-line permit search system, but there was an e-mail address for the . I sent him an e-mail and got this reply from Jesse within a few...

I started calling around Limon. The manager at the Arby's in Limon, Arby's in Limon, CO, confirmed that the crew started work in the Arby's parking lot there about a week ago. His expectation was that it would take about 6 weeks total to complete and be done five weeks from now. Limon, CO...

Called around in Goodland, KS today. Got a very animated response from the clerk at the Holiday Inn Express, "Yes, they have been working on that Tesla thing in the parking lot. We are all very excited." It just so happens that I have to test fly an airplane after its annual maintenance...

My son and I decided to do a Father/Son Road trip to Californian and back. He lives in Boulder, so we started there. This trip is not for records, it is not meant to be Superchargers only, but is Supercharger enabled. We are taking a reasonable pace and enjoying our way on the Supercharger...

I planning to drive my MS from Colorado to the Bay Area via LA in March, a nice western Supercharger enabled trip. I would like to spend a few days in the Napa-Sonoma area in the middle of that trip before heading back home to Colorado. It would be great to stay at, and give some business to...
