Has anyone who has done the DIY retrofit outlined in a different thread on this forum here tested this new OEM adapter at a 250kW capable CCS station? I'm curious to know if there is a difference in max charging rate between DIY retrofits and cars which come compatible from the factory.

Another location planned for Hood River opening before the end of 2022?

Entirely possible. Just happened to notice it, so figured I'd mention.

According to the EV-Hub website when you select the CCS 1 adapter, there is text that reads as follows: "THE PRODUCT WILL BE IN STOCK 31/03/2022"

Glad it still works at V3 speeds. Looking back at a few of my V3 charges where I was pre-conditioned and at a low SOC, it does seem like you tapered much faster here than I've seen in my 2019 Performance. I don't seem to drop below 200kW until around 40% SOC. Could be any number of reasons for...

I would also be curious to know if your setup works with the CHAdeMO adapter as well?

Definitely why I specified that this is doable in a LR Model 3 :cool: Interesting tip about Teslafi, was not aware of this. I see the option to edit the "kWh & Wh/m(km) Factor". Is this what you are talking about?

Real world example of when I drove from my home in Vancouver to the Pendleton supercharger in my 2019 Stealth with 18 inch Aeros and hubcaps on. The route goes through the Columbia River Gorge which very often has high winds. It's doable in a LR Model 3, especially the 2021 models, just watch...

New Year’s Day in Yachats OR

Shipped from Philadelphia to Portland OR for $1000 on open trailer. Just looked for local shipping companies in my area, chances are they have routes out of most major cities. Found a company based out of Seattle. Took 5 days from pickup to delivery.

The parking lot at this one is quite large. It wraps around the entire building, maybe space for semi trucks out back, couldn't quite tell. In the quick glances I got while driving by it looked like there was a lot of utilities/electrical hookups sticking out of the ground that still need to be...

I drove down to Smith Rock State Park this weekend and noticed a LARGE Love's gas station/travel plaza currently under construction just south of Madras. I didn't stop, and there didn't seem to be any of the typical visible signs of a Tesla charging station being installed...but there is still A...

Yep! Still zero issues 1 year and 4000 kWh later :)

Just getting back from our Grand Teton/Yellowstone trip...it was a great success! Here are a few details on the stops we made, and things we did in the M3: From Portland to Jackson: From Portland our charging stops were: Pendleton, Baker City, Boise, Burley, Idaho Falls, and then Jackson...

Thanks for the advice! We’ve decided on the Model 3. We will be leaving this Saturday morning! I’ll update this post once we’re done with the trip with some of our experiences and observations :)
