I had been waiting for this one for a couple of years, as the round trip from Chicago to Pontiac was a regular thing for me. In the summer it was not a problem making the round trip on a single charge, but in winter less so. However, I left that job a week ago. Oh well, nice to see it if...

Does anyone know of any news about locations in either Dwight or Rochelle, IL? They both show as future locations on the Tesla map, but no info on supercharge.info. During warm weather months I don't need them, but they sure would make life easier when it gets cold again.

The official map/locater from Tesla is how I know that these are future locations. Supercharge.info provides a great deal of information between the time the gray dot shows up there and the time it becomes a red dot (when permits go through, when construction starts...). Tesla provides no...

Greetings. Last summer, I started a new job in which I travel quite a bit throughout Illinois. The Tesla site lists several future supercharger locations that will be quite helpful for me, mostly Dwight and Rochelle. Supercharge.info has always been my go to for information, but none is...

I have a wall charger at home and have never ventured out of the supercharger network in the last three years. First time the car has ever been out of California, in fact.

No. Bad charging cable. It the one that came with the car, and in the three years that I have had it, this was my first opportunity to use it. Spoiled y the California supercharger network, I guess. No charging cable, no charge. Roadside assistance did offer to send me one, arrriving Tuesday...

As of about an hour ago, Laramie not online. Looks ready to go. Sorry for the lack of pictures.

Called Fairfield Inn this morning and was told that they connected the electricity yesterday. It they didn't know if it was on. Went there before heading to KOA to charge, where I learned that I have a defective charging cable. Rawlins not yet online, obviously. I am now in a truck with my car...

Greetings. Has anyone been by this location since 7/26? I am going to be driving from California to Chicago starting 8/18, and this location would be a big plus in making the trip. Any updates appreciated. Brian

So, a question about range/time, as you seem to have a pretty good grip on the concepts. I am going to be heading from Central Valley in California to Chicago sometime in August. Is there a way to figure out optimal speed to balance time on the road vs charging time? I am assuming that...

At work in Vacaville, all charged up and ready to head north this evening. Should have way more than enough range to get to Ukiah, where I will stop for dinner, then on to Eureka. It is good to finally be able to drive the Model S. Yes, I know that there are other charging options, but my...

Sorry your experience was not great, but I certainly don't understand the "no dining" part. Schat's Bakery is very close, great place for coffee or a snack. Also, Patron is a wonderful restaurant about 2 1/2 blocks away. I don't remember at the moment what the Ukiah Brewing Company is now...

So happy to hear it. Will be there a week from today, glad to know that I will be able to charge. Now, if they can just get I-80 built out...

I will be up that way this weekend (unfortunately, in the truck and not Model S). I will drive by and take a look.

Good to see another person from Lodi here. I spend two weekends a month in Eureka, so have been keeping a close eye on this supercharger. I haven't seen a 90D around town, but will probably be running into you at some point. I have the blue P85 with Harley and Grateful Dead stickers on the...
