Having crazy transponder issues again, sticker is arriving today. Have a sunroof so think I will have to use a different spot.

Been pretty surprised I haven't seen one yet, especially in the NW burbs.

An excellent location compared to the other station. I've actually stayed at this hotel a couple times when visiting.

The EL plates aren't required anymore so I use it at sort of a guideline. Think the highest I've seen so far is 87xxx. https://www.ilsos.gov/departments/vehicles/statistics/electric/2024/electric011524.pdf

Hopefully at some point the cause comes out. Whether it's a problem on Tesla's end or someone controlling the grid shutting down or limiting power to them.

I was trying to supercharge on New Years Eve a few years back and it was in the -20s. My charge was low enough the battery pack heater wouldn't come on and the supercharger was reading the pack was too cold to send a charge. That left me getting no charge at a functional station. I'm not sure...

I got a $35 ticket in Prospect Heights last year. I could have fixed it and have it waived but didn't. I think he just wanted to check me out as I was about 7 miles above the speed limit and have lightly tinted windows.

The first eservices link in the original post shows Tesla on the project name.

This is going to be a hoppin' spot for sure.

This is a prime location; good for all directions of interstate traffic going thru town.

Large Electrify America installation about halfway done next to the superchargers here.

Not for this former Quad-Citian. Not a fan of QC-style; blasphemy I know.

That area on weekends is packed full of cars and people for the various sports tournaments. ICE'rs might definitely be a problem when parking is near capacity. Good amenities close by. Foundry, Flips and Hurts are all great options.

Sorry you haven't gotten any info here. I've only ever needed body work done so can't help you with a recommendation. I used those tires until I decided to keep a separate winter set. Looking at the new Hankook EV tire when it becomes available. "Hankook Ventus iON S"

Seems steep but they do appear to have a lot of experience with Teslas. I got a quote for $4k on a Model S in Chicagoland for comparison.
