odd spot - but I guess it'll complement the southbound site just south of it. I personally have to get out the 'sparse network' mindset when thinking about DC fast charging sites. at this point, the more options the better!

You can have cruise control during the free trial … just not if you’ve enabled FSD.

Any updates on the prognosis for the 4 V3 stalls? as of 3/1 they were still under wraps. I didn't look around any further as it was dark...

Just drove by. As noted , much activity. They were actively setting a utility pole today. Sorry for bad photo of my screen. Didn’t have a chance to stop for photos or passenger to use a camera.

Ok. Back with some pictures. One inside box and one from below. I figure I extended the slots maybe 1.5 inch. No mods to the clamps or sliding filller pieces. Both pictures have one clamp forward like is needed for installation The other clamp is slid back to show the modification

I'll have to get some pictures, but I ended up on a slightly different modification approach. I extended the forward end of the slots. I used a series of drills to create the 'new end' and used a hacksaw to cut out excess. A little cleanup with a file and we were good. no modification to the...

Manchester supercharger is ~4.5miles away - and to the north (also servicing east and west) which is the direction that any who needs charging after service is likely going. If you pull into service with less than 2kwh remaining, I'll bet you can beg for their (level 2) mercy to get you enough...

Are you really paying $.32/kwh? I'm in NH and I think I'm at $.228/kwh right now.. and expect it to got down again next month. I ran the math with $.228/khw and get ~27 $/MBTU . That's about the same as pellets - so i'm just running both. :)

might be something else - we had a supercharge site in northern MA that had 5 of 12 stalls down last night. wasn't particularly cold here.

I'm really happy to see the AC posts at this site. will be interesting to see what cost model they use for those: is it subsidized by the casino to encourage people to 'linger'?

you have to carefully modulate the 'go pedal'. you can't be slamming it 'on' and 'off'. remember - coming all the way off the 'go' pedal is akin to pressing the brakes hard. Likewise, the vehicle is 'rear biased' - something you have to get used to - especially if you're coming from a Front...

I understand the desire for those with 'free unlimited' supercharging to see that benefit grow. However, I'm strongly against 'free' (by that meaning, no additional incremental cost) DC fast charging as that run contrary to best use of the limited resources. I'm actually kind of surprised that...

Me too. I’m at the end of my second set in the mileage (see my OP)

Now I'm at 56k miles, and I can't recommend the continental tires. they were noisy and are already worn out. some of that is attributable to a bad knuckle in the rear suspension I just had fixed (took it to tesla thinking it was a bearing going bad...). but I don't think its even worth...

I bought a yakima fourtimer: I think its discontinued now, but it was the lightest 4 bike platform I could find.. very happy with it. seems much less 'waggy' than my four bike (hanging) saris rack. I suppose it's worth adding: I added a set of lights on a bar that I bungie to the last bike...
