Just got the fsd trial on my 3 with 24.14.6

Agree. There will be a lag but what you don't see since the announcement are newly permitted sites (a couple of "plan" entries are there). I suspect we will see a significant slowdown in all types of entries over the next few months.

Road trip much?

I'd rep this twice if I could.

My guess is NACS will be the standard going forward regardless of the pace of supercharger network expansion, but I dont know if any of the makes that decided to adopt it would save any money by reversing course. Luckily its now an open standard.

We might have to start tracking this list in reverse.

When our model Y goes out of warranty later this year we were planning to replace it with a new one but were considering other EVs as well. Now all options including gas have to be back on the table. The only option I wont consider is another Tesla as long as Musk is running the show.

Checking all the ones we regularly use on I94 looks like they are all 38 cents/kWh.

Sounds like some bad luck for you on that trip. There are some states where SC coverage is still sparse so I always carry a CCS adapter, Wyoming is one (also the Dakotas, Montana). I've also encountered a non-functional pedestal on occasion, but it's pretty rare especially compared to CCS chargers.

The standard for underserved sure has come a long way. Longest gap is 93 miles.

Charged there twice last month got max speed both times. Since you had the same issue in Des Moines I'd say it's not an issue with the superchargers.

My wife and I drove from Minneapolis to Indianapolis on Sunday and returned on Tuesday. We stopped at Black River Falls, Lake Delton, Rockford, Normal, Urbana and Zionville on the way down (hotel was less than a mile from the Zionville location). We got the last open spot at Lake Delton but...

Last article I read about this location said groundbreaking for the Bucees is expected to be May '24 with the store opening sometime in 2025.
