I am thinking where I am it will be somewhere between those two realities. It is looking like at least one north/south route will open up, but it will be the long way around and not the one I would prefer. And I bet that one waits a while. These from Idaho's updated NEVI plan. One thing to...

here's mine. Went silver. Will definitely replace the DRAG centercaps. But I am happy with the look overall.

New tires and wheel day! Discount Tire, Eagle. I went silver, and I liked the look. And yes, the car needs to be washed. I do think I want to see if I can replace the DRAG centercaps. Also, second set from discount tire and so far I have been pleased. Before, have either been Les Schwab in...

I have tended to like the ChargePoint charging stations. I have used as the equipment and app seems to work better than for example Electrify America, such as at the mountain home Walmart. Those charge just fine, but the displays are hard to read, and the app doesn’t seem to work very well. I...

Oh, and I also got Michelin Ice-X tires for this winter, and put them on my stock rims. Seemed to improve winter traction quite a bit. Not a huge difference in range that I noticed. Putting Bridgestone Turanza Quiettracks on Discount Tire wheels for the summer.

Also, I am now spending a lot of time in Boise, as I am dating someone who lives over here in Ada. She also happens to work at the IDAHO transportation department and has sent me information regarding NEVI and Idaho. I’m afraid I didn’t do a super good job of getting involved last summer when...

I still am looking for way directly up from Hailey and Sun Valley through Stanley to Missoula, but not seeing that has really a possibility at this point for a while.

Wanaka was probably my favorite overall area, including some of the glaciers you could hike to, mountain biking, etc. Is Tesla supercharging up in Wanaka? As I recall, it was a rugged country and there was a lot of driving through rural parts. Hoping NZ gets all all the chargers it needs.

Except that the cars are not able to be used to their potential in much of the country that is rutal if you were only going to expand based on utilization. Much like the Tennessee valley authority was needed in order to get utilities to rule parts of Tennessee. Profitability in an individual...

Enjoyed a meat pie and a speights at lunch riding bike from Queenstown out to Arrowtown and back once a few years back. As part of a couple week NZ tour to visit my kid who spent several months doing work stay with his back pack after graduating high school. Great place! Would love to go back...

Ha! yeah, ok. I did not see that was where this thread was when I posted. Sorry about that!

The app clearly stated Mountain home by first, 2022, then later 2023. Call it an estimate or plan if you want. And it specifically got pushed. I have a hard time believing, when other DCFC's have come online in the area, that Tesla was prevented from constructing as stated as planned. looks...

So how about this? Can we get a commitment on when the long promised and long overdue superchargers (such as in Mountain Home, ID, due originally in 2022 then in 2023 and now?) Seems like that is a relevant post and fair question. I saw in some FB Tesla owner group where some UT dude was saying...

bummer on that.

Well, guessing we are not seeing Mountain Home being built any time soon. Based on recent events. Anyone have any other intel?

Good bye Mountain Home, Idaho. (supposedly on line in 2023). thankfully, there is the Electrify America units at Walmart there and I have the CCS adapter.

same. Living out in the middle of Idaho, the large and expanding network was a huge selling point.

Building cars seems to presume that they are vehicles that can operate ordinarily on the roads, which implies supercharging sufficient to ultimately make it be close to ICE vehicles with their gas stations all over the place.

Hey, do you have any follow up thoughts after using this longer? Coming from the camper world, the Dometic looks nice, but WAY more expensive. And if this works well enough, fair dinkum, I'm in.

That's not the point. He is causing customers to experience at least annoyance because of his childish billionaire spats.

Hi all! I have been driving all over here and gone, skiing and such, and now turning seasons. But have not logged in forever, and figured I would check in with you lot. As said, drove between here and Targhee a couple times, Utah resorts a few times, and over to Boise and back a lot. (new...

No, I still haven't taken the time to find it, as generally, other than high centering it once in my unplowed driveway, I have been fine. But will find that today and try it out in our new snow. Was hoping to ski today, but other engagements may keep me from it. Will tomorrow though to coach...

Hey, Idaho Tesla folk! How are you all doing this winter? I never got around to getting real snow tires and am doing fine with my stock Coni's for now. At least around here up in SV. I may start looking for a sale as winter goes on and people want to move tires. May just go with some set of...

Unfortunately, for better or worse, Elon is currently the face of the company, however, which is unfortunate.

Greta Thunberg (man, I like that young woman), and a freaking oil spill the day after I attended Ohanafest Encore rock festival, (Eddie Vedder's benefit concerts supporting clean coasts and water), 10/2/21, in Dana Point, along with the that fact that I am able to go solar here where I live and...

@Bandit I think you misunderstood my post. I meant that the people simply trying to exist and be who they are in this world, are not the ones who are making their existence a political issue with which to motivate people to hate. The trans folks and LGBTQ folks and women who are just trying to...

And those are not the people who are simply trying to exist (and have control of their own bodies). Absolute victim blaming.

Where I live, I still feel like Tesla for now, and for a while yet, will be the only option for an EV for me. And I DO like the car. If the non Tesla charging network was a LOT better, and covered as well the intermountain areas I drive (Tesla's network is barely good enough at this point...

I don't find the Twitter sugar show and how it is affecting Tesla funny. But this post from a few months ago has aged well. I am not a "Fan" but I don't relish in nor want Elon to fail. I just wish he would give up this fight however he can. (just appoint some new CEO, and back off maybe)...

I really like the minimalist interior also. I have a couple software quibbles And wish the wipers functions worked a little better to my liking in my climate, but overall just love the car. I just wish Elon would just quit it with the distractions (won't get into my political views with regard...

Yes, technically Twitter is privately owned so technical "free speech" concepts under the First A don't necessarily apply. However, Elon specifically wanted to buy Twitter to protect "free speech" so in that context, criticism of his "efforts" to do so is fair game.

OK, accurate yes. But also semantics in that he engaged in conduct that someone of his intellect and business experience would know would likely lead to problems with the SEC. He rode the edge, and he and the company paid. It is also accurate to say that the man should not be engaging in such...

Ok, forced to resign (and pay personally, along with Tesla Inc. paying penalties) as part of basically a plea deal/settlement for securities fraud claims. (in a civil penalties context). Semantics. He entered essentially the equivalent of an "Alford" plea in a criminal matter (though...

I am glad he got the ball rolling with EV's in a much larger way. I love my car and am not selling. I guess my little act of "protest" is that when the installer put PPF on the front, I did not put the Tesla T back on, but that is also because I like the clean look without it on my model Y...

I don't really care about autosteer for my use. I just don't want my car braking on me inappropriately whilst using cruise control. The problem with autosteer for me, when I am on roads marked well enough to use it at all, is it puts me in the road right where the most potholes are, and often I...

Sure, I will try all that. It will be a while before I'll be on an interstate again though.

@DrGriz seems like I am having similar things happen as some of the people in this unpleasant to read thread, on two lane undivided highways. I have had what I would call phantom braking (sharp feeling braking suddenly) with: Motorcyle in opposing lane, cars or trucks in opposing lane, (both...

It does on it on normal cruise control in mine too. Operating it like a normal car.

I had an Appropriate wine as you described a timer to. But I also had a couple sudden and sharp breaking notes. The one with the turn Appropriate wine as you described a timer to. But I also had a couple sudden and sharp braking episodes. The one with the turn signs I described which had slowed...

Any of you Idaho drivers having trouble with some continuing phantom braking while using cruise control, (not auto steer) on our two-lane highways? Happened to me at least three times driving over to Boise to see a play at the Morrison Center and back. Always on Highway 20. Once where the road...

Which one did you get?

It would be great if there were a Roon ARC integration, so that that interface could be used, including with FLAC's on hard drives.

Voted. 4 out of 5 votes were for places with less than 200 votes.

Ok, we have AAA. So will do that. EVgo does not help my interior Idaho trips, but may on I-84/I-82, I-90, I-5, etc.

Especially when sodium ion tech comes through.

Will watch the math on this in Idaho/Montana/Utah and consider accordingly. I have yet to take my MYLR on my bi-yearly trips or more to WA and OR, but will watch that for those trips too. I just hate being nickled and dimed for $4.99/$9.99/$15.99 for every damn thing these days.

This is my issue for paying even $4.99 per month. I rarely have cause to use an EA or Chargepoint charger. They are only a back up plan or alternative for route planning, and then only when I go to Bozeman, Missoula or somewhere like that. From Hailey/Sun Valley, Idaho. Most/almost all of my...

Will be glad when things fill in out here in the mountains with more Superchargers AND more alternatives. NO EA right now on the routes not already serviced by Tesla, in Idaho. Right now, on certain routes through the interior of the state, especially up to Montana, and over toward Colorado...

Plus for those of us in the Intermountain West and other more remote areas, CCS might be your only option on some trips.
