Are they pull through chargers
There are no pull through chargers, but there are a few non-charger spots on both ends that you can probably pull through on.

Are they pull through chargers
And if one is concerned about charging while towing, it appears you can parallel on the back row and pull a charger cable in that direction. Assuming nobody is parked there, that allows you to charge without unhitching and still not block any of the Tesla stalls. I've done this at a number of other Supercharger locations and it works well, so long as it's not in a high use area of the parking lot. I try to avoid blocking a ton of spots in prime location and give Tesla towing a bad name...There are no pull through chargers, but there are a few non-charger spots on both ends that you can probably pull through on.
Yup, Harvest market is excellent, and North Coast makes some fine brews -- my favorite: Red Seal Ale.The market at Supercharger is superb stocked withs lots of camping gear, local foods and deli. I purchased a few packs of North Coast brewery beer as the North Coast Brewery in town was not open on a Tues.
Thanks for the tips. I'll be out that way soon!View attachment 674287
Spending a couple days along the North Coast the charge at Fort Bragg is welcomed as it allows you to bypass Branscomb road which appears even more remote than Hwy 1. Let me gives you the details. I'm really glad that Fort Bragg was built by the time my trip occured else I would have to take Branscomb road to Laytonville.
The challenge in Fort Bragg to Eureka via Hwy 1, is leaving Fort Bragg which I had charged to 90% and continuing north Hwy 1 which is remote and isolated. Hwy 1 turns inland from the coast at Rockport and goes through the mountains with some extremely winding roads (15 to 25 mph is typical) for 18 miles up and down the mountain. There were no cars heading north at 6pm on a Tuesday except for me. There were a dozen cars total heading south. This 18 mile leg takes about an hour and there is nothing through the mountains. Only a handful of houses a general store a few miles from the 101 at Legget. I then arrived and overnighted at Garberville at 55% in my Long Range RWD 3. There is no level 2 charging there. There are two CCS/Chademo nearby in Benbow which you will pass on the 101, but with no CCS or Chademo adapter, I can only worry. Leaving Garberville that morning I had 53% charge. After the Ave of the Giants and some roadside attractions, and driving at or below the speed limit. I arrived Eureka with 22%. It not much of a buffer if it were raining, winds or cold weather or if even driving at the speed limit.
Garberville really needs a supercharger for those coming from Hwy 1. The regen through Hwy 1 just wasn't there through the hills and in such a remote area, I really got super anxious with wife, kids and quickly losing daylight.
The market at Supercharger is superb stocked withs lots of camping gear, local foods and deli. I purchased a few packs of North Coast brewery beer as the North Coast Brewery in town was not open on a Tues.
This is pretty helpful, I'll be out there later in the summer. Usually ABRP is pretty accurate for me, it's showing about 52% battery usage between Fort Bragg and Eureka (2020 MX LR). Do you think that's way off? Should I be worried? I am on the fence about buying a $400 CHadeMo dongle that I would probably just have for piece of mind and never use. Would you recommend that?View attachment 674287

Yes, I think it's way off -- on the high side. Your MX has a 360-mile range. 52% of that is 190. The distance is about 130 -- starting and ending at sea level. I've been driving a MS for almost 8 years, up and down lots of mountains, and my experience has been that whatever extra you use going up, you get a fairly large percentage of that back going down. I think you could probably go round trip on a full charge, driving conservatively.This is pretty helpful, I'll be out there later in the summer.

Thanks for this very detailed assessment. I live just south of Trinidad, CA and travel the 101 corridor often back and forth to SF. Will be taking the coast on my next trip thanks to the Fort Bragg SC. But I'm starting to wonder about my 2016 MS 90D with it's 294 EPA mile range if conditions are at all less than ideal... All the mapping I've done shows it should be doable but now I'm not so sure. I may be looking at a quick top-off in Eureka if I head South I guess.View attachment 674287

not really, unless you're staying at one of the few resorts with destination chargers. But FB is not much further, and is a fun little town to spend an hour or two in.We are looking at going up from the Bay Area to Mendicino and points south on the coast. Any good charging options without having to go up to Fort Bragg?
Check out Plugshare for L2 options on your route. Last SC before Fort Bragg is either Marin City (urban) in going 1 or Windsor if taking 101/128. Windsor is 92 miles, Marin City is 150+ to Mendocino. So depends on if you want scenic or not and how much charge you’ll have to explore. If you can get to Fort Brag to top up it will give you more options.We are looking at going up from the Bay Area to Mendicino and points south on the coast.

I 2nd the idea that Fort Bragg is really not much farther north from Mendo (esp. with the SC on the south side of town) and a nice place to visit. The shopping center has some food options, so would be a fine, cheap lunch stop. We took a nice walk from our hotel (across Hwy 1 from SC) down to the ocean/bluffs via Ocean View Dr.-- this is easily walkable from the SC and would be a very scenic bit of exercise while the car charges... there's even a park at the end and there appears to be a loop trail back to Hwy 1. That's what I would do in nice weather, honestly.We are looking at going up from the Bay Area to Mendicino and points south on the coast.
