What a great place to watch the eclipse! We arrived at Plattsburgh SC a little past Noon and there was quite a crowd. Chaos was avoided though by some good natured person handing out hand written slips of paper with each new arrival’s place in line, I was #72. 7/8 stalls were operational and...

Good stuff. Don’t know how many times I’ve been Westbound on the pike saying, “can I make it to Breezewood, nah, better stop at Carlisle.”

To be clear, this is not an isolated thing it’s gotten worse over the last 12-18 months and is true at all superchargers, paired or not. I just went from 80 mile range to 200 and it took 90 minutes. Not workable for a road trip.

Coming up on 5 years with my ‘15 70D and still love the car. The only downside is that at 62k miles it is now essentially no longer a road trip car. The reason is the supercharging is so slow. I sealed my driveway yesterday so couldn’t get to my charger. I drove over to a supercharger this...

stopped by last night. 2B was not working and 1A has what appears to be an abandoned Blue Model 3 in it. The car was not charging and has a parking violation sticker on the driver side window. I only had to wait 5-10 mins to charge but this is a case where the nav system could have directed...

Stopped by today. Nothing going on yet.

Went by today. All stanchions are in but still no transformer. No workers on site.

Great! Always a treat to get one coming that is not already on the Tesla map. Allentown is a fairly frequent stop for me, this is a good alternative especially for odd hours when the 24 hour Wawa will be nice.

We made our 3rd stop over 2 years at this SC yesterday. The first time I was there I followed the navigation coming off of I84 WB, it suggests a left turn over a curb so I ended up doing a u turn in the residential neighborhood past the SC. Of course I knew better on subsequent visits and...

Actually I'm a "true" 70D, build in 10/2015. My point was I am indifferent as to 100% AC charge before the trip, or an extra 10% (24 miles in my case) of supercharging during the trip. I wondered which was best overall. Completely understanding there is probably very little difference. Ken

In light of the new info about potential limited DC fast charging over the lifetime of my car, I'm wondering if I should change my thinking about 100% charges. Usually when I leave on a trip that will involve a Supercharge session, I only make sure I have enough to make it to the SC, plus a...

Sure, three minutes isn't a big deal. But does it end there? A week ago I knew nothing of any limit, now there is one, and it's poorly defined. I think the original poster hit this limit at 30,000mi or so, will there be a new, lower limit for him at 60k, 90k? What will the new limit be? Are...

Yes, I did. A bit of a gap where I'm looking. I thought about the Promenade Shoppes in South Windsor but I don't see any lodging nearby. The other alternative is to go 95 along the coast and stop at the Mystic Marriott but if that's the only option I'll probably just go the Supercharger...

I'm going from Central NJ to Bangor , Maine in a couple of weeks in my 70D. Evtripplanner suggests routing through Milford North, Auburn, Seabrook, and Augusta SCs and I'm good with that, it's an easy trip. If I leave at 0700 I'm there for dinner. I have the option though of driving part...
