Sure anybody can build a DCFC station. The only problem is based on past history, the hardware is crap and the software is crap. If you have found any non Tesla DCFC that work better than a Tesla Supercharger, please let me know.

According to this video, some of the OEM's are already talking about just staying on CCS. Tesla is not a reliable partner now.

If Tesla needs to reduce costs they should get rid of that ONE guy who wants a 50 billion dollar pay day.

Yes, that is pretty much how I feel about Elon Musk and Tesla right now. The supercharger network was that one thing that they did better than anyone else out there and those people were rewarded with unemployment. Does not bode well for the future of Tesla.

Time to replace Elon Musk. He has lost the vision.

The Supercharger team should be rewarded for building out the best charge network in the world, bare none. This from Teslarati. Two Tesla execs to leave amid Musk's "hardcore" cost and workforce reduction: report

Good Luck to you for sure. 👍 Keep us updated on how the ordering and installation work out.

Same here. My wife and I have had the windshield replaced multiple times in our Model Y's.

Interesting thought, with so many people here expressing the desire or need for a 500 mile car, why not just go buy one ? Home | Lucid Motors

Things have been going downhill ever since Elon bought Twitter. The robotaxi bet is a continuation of bad decision making.

Drove by this one yesterday (4-19) and did not see any sign of construction.

This one looks nearly finished, all except for placing the utility transformer.

Just tag one of these guys @Big Earl @Guacahummus and they will take care of it.

Looks like this one is open today.

Any Tesla equipment boxes on site yet ?

Time to update status on Vernal UT. @Big Earl

I agree with this, in that I do think it will get sorted out in the near future. Really if you think about it. Ford or Tesla either one could have solved this problem already. Ford could have moved the charge port for the 2024 models. Tesla could have started installing V4 charge posts with the...

Well it has been a few years, but I think I am ready for another drive on the Loneliest Road in America. Great Basin NP is a great place to visit and my wife and did that in our very first Tesla. The Loneliest Road in America

Feel the same way as you. I have bought 5 different Tesla over the years, 2 of which I still own. I read the postings here of "oh you will get used to it". Nope not for me. I test drove the new Model S 3 different times and then I bought a 2024 model Y. If Tesla keeps on with this nonsense I...

Drove by this one today. It really looks complete and ready to go. The only thing missing is the utility transformer. Come on Rocky Mountain Power, get with the program.

By the looks of the reports on Plugshare this location seems problematic. Just out of curiosity were you trying to use the CHAdeMO or the CCS side of things. Did you try and report the problem to the host site ?

Maybe some service centers are better informed or more up to date than others.

Love the looks of the R2. They did so many things well on this one and then they put the charge port on the wrong side. :mad: What the hell is wrong with these people ?

And that begs the question. Why do you not have charging at home ?

In another thread someone pointed this out on a Tesla web page. https://www.tesla.com/support/supercharging-other-evs#cable

I will look forward to someone else testing and reporting on this before I pass judgment. However if I am at a crowded SC station and there is only one stall open, 100kw would be better than nothing by a long ways.

There is at least one company A2Z working on one. https://a2zevshop.com/collections/upcoming-products/products/tesla-nacs-dc-supercharger-extension-cord

Where on the Tesla website did you find that ?

Wall Street Journal testing the Ford adapter. https://www.wsj.com/tech/tesla-superchargers-arent-just-for-teslas-anymore-i-put-my-ford-ev-to-the-test-75e86773?mod=hp_lead_pos8

The Polestar 3 also has the charge port in the correct location.

The Chevy Silverado seems to have the right idea.

For the last 2 or 3 days this station shows up on the app as only 2 stalls available. I really doubt that there are 14 cars there charging today or any other day recently. If any of you stop there and see that the available stall count is way off, please report this to Tesla so they can fix it.

Looks like 16 stalls. That is great. The old state street location was often full on weekends and holidays.

Well when the stock price gets down to 48 cents a share, you better do something pretty dang quick. 😳

What site are these pics from ? Was this site a V2 site before the update ?

It will only work on the V3 stations.

Just waiting for the adapter to allow supercharger access and then I will be a Lightning buyer.

Have you looked at the Edmunds range test? Not perfect but a lot closer to real life numbers than EPA. Edmunds Tested: Electric Car Range and Consumption | Edmunds

Thanks for the tip. I did not know that hotels.com let you filter on EV charging.

I agree that would help. More superchargers would also help. However I see a different problem. Myself I would never buy an EV if I could not charge the car at home while I sleep. Not everyone has figured that out yet. Every new house built should have a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage from...

Investing in America: Walmart Announces New Stores, More Jobs

Well, well, look at what showed up today. :)

Let us know when you get the NACS adapter from Ford and how well it works.

As Big Earl stated earlier, your best solution to work with both Tesla and non Tesla cars is the universal wall connector. The price is very reasonable and all the bases are covered. https://shop.tesla.com/product/universal-wall-connector

Very cool setup. Thanks for sharing the links. Really basic question. I thought that most of these controllers are built for 48 volt battery system. How do you make this work with a 400 volt EV battery like the Tesla 3 or Tesla Y battery?

Not really interested in building one myself. I might be interested in buying one. Where can I find out more about your batteries and controller?

Sounds like a very useful and fun project. You might want to look into a vendor membership upgrade and start your own thread here on TMC.
