Actual miles yes. I was talking in terms of battery miles (the number I use to calculate range + buffer), i.e. when I leave Bend Supercharger with about 260~ miles. I tend to get to K. Falls charger with around 40-60~ depending.

For 97, a SC located at the intersection of OR 138 (turn off to crater lake) would be ideal. Its about 100 north of K. Falls, and 120 south of Bend. If not, then a little north to Chemult. But I envision a lot of people traveling to Crater Lake, so having a SC at the turn off would be really...

I guess its official. Alaska will be the last state in the union to get a supercharger.

Is your car still under full warranty? If so, if you complain enough, they will replace the screen with a new one.

After 2 years of waiting, Tesla upgraded my 2017 Model S from HW 2.0 to HW 3.0!

I have a Model S 90D with AP2.0 and FSD purchased. Tesla just contacted me to schedule upgrade for "FSD". I asked about MCU, and was told that only the AP DAS would be upgraded. The MCU will not be, unless I pay the additional $2,500.

Then you clearly didn't read my initial post. My argument was that Tesla is the only company that puts Superchargers in isolate places (in every state, in every region, like in this thread (Forks, WA). And I guess you equated 'easy' with 'comfortable'. Easy is charging to 100%, setting AP at...

You don't think so? Would you like to make a wager that I can't drive this route using my Model S?

Tesla is going to put a Supercharger at Burns to cover most Eastern Oregon routes. Winnemucca to Boise via Supercharger is 250 miles, which is doable with Model 3 LR (technically MR, but I wouldn't chance it), Model X and Model S would be easy.

Sites like this are why Tesla will win in the end. They invest in locations that are rarely used, but are necessary for "full coverage". No other company would put chargers in the least populated places.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the fact that this is a paid parking lot (and expensive!), that adding $9 to the cost of a SC session would likely make this one of the first SC to avoid?

My JAN 2017 90D range was 294 miles at 10K (almost 2 years of ownership). My 2015 85D with 45K miles on it was 260 (3 years). So it appears the newer cell design in the 90D is lasting much better than my old 85D. S85D at 45K S90D at 10K

Have they started to take out the chargers and replace it with asphalt and make the area look like it was back in 2017 yet?

The one HUGE disappointment I have with this location is after they changed spots in the mall, they no longer carry merchandise inventory. I used to go out of my way to stop here and by a T-Shirt or something, but now I have no reason to go inside the store :-(
