    Denver Airport Parking

    Thanks everyone. This is all really helpful. Will charge at Denver SC near airport and will leave car at 90% in the morning at a lot.

    Denver Airport Parking

    Greetings from Grand Junction, CO. For reasons too exhausting to explain, I have decided to drive to DIA and park my MX 100D for 9 days while on vacation. I need a vacation from the planning of this vacation... I thought I read somewhere that the long term parking at DIA might have charging...

    Beta on Flaming Gorge chargers?

    I just made the trip from Grand Junction, CO to Afton, WY this weekend. Will be returning back Monday. Rock Springs SC is the only option besides driving through SLC. In the past with an ICE vehicle I would take the shortcut through Manilla and Mountain View, WY and cut up through Carter, WY...

    UT Road trip in EV- Hwy 15, SR 12 - National Park routes

    I live in Grand Junction and have a MX 100D. I have done these drives multiple times and you won't have any problems. Boulder, UT (next to Hells Kitchen) has a very fast destination charger. If restaurant is open, EAT. Take some time for Capital Reef Nat'l Park while you are going through...

    Elon: "Feature complete for full self driving this year"

    I received 12.6 today with FSD in 2018 X. I like it, it seems safe to use since it stops at all lights and stop signs in a timely way, but it is also easy to override with eh accelerator pedal on green lights. Seems intuitive and nicely designed. It also feels like a game, how can I train the...

    Supercharger — Montrose, CO

    If going south, the two L2 chargers in Ridgway town park are pretty quick and always available. Good restaurants nearby too. I have used the Centennial Plaza chargers in Montrose often when grabbing pizza at Colorado Boy. Worth the charge!

    Grand Junction, CO Service Center and Body Shop

    I'm starting the year off with this idea. Tesla needs to do this to better serve these mountain towns. Currently a mobile tech drives out from Colorado Springs a few times a month to service vehicles in Vail, Aspen, Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction, Telluride, Durango, etc. I'm uncertain of...

    Colorado Springs Service Center - 1323 Motor City Drive

    Grand Junction needs a service center and a certified body shop. We have to wait for Jack from CS to drive over to us all the time for repairs. The guy must be exhausted of the drive. He tells me Tesla has been trying to hire a mobile tech in the western slope for 2 years now. Congrats to SC...

    Supercharger — Montrose, CO

    I think we are in agreement. I'd still like to see Ridgway though for personal reasons living in GJ. In fact I'm driving to Telluride on Friday and wouldn't mind a boast before arrival to avoid L2 chargers there.

    Supercharger — Montrose, CO

    I don't disagree. My point was instead of 2 chargers they could get most of the benefits for the region with one in Ridgway. I keep a sailboat in Ridgway and drive to/from Grand Junction on a single charge. The only hard part would be GJ to Poncha with the uphill grade but I doubt the route...

    Tesla Owners Can Edit Maps to Improve Summon Routes

    Check make sure there isn't construction tags on the OSM data. That might affect SS.

    Supercharger — Montrose, CO

    I emailed Tesla about 6 months ago suggesting Ridgeway over Montrose and Telluride (consolidation in the area). Ridgeway would give greater access into the San Juans and easy access to Durango and Farmington. As well as over the Blanding and Poncha Springs. You can get to Grand Junction SC...

    Colorado Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    I emailed Tesla at [email protected] about 6 months ago suggesting they place a charger in Ridgeway instead of Montrose and Telluride. It would be more efficient in the region. Never heard back from them.

    Tesla Owners Can Edit Maps to Improve Summon Routes

    Open google maps on your phone, look at a shopping mall parking aisles. Then look on your cars display. It's not OSM, it matches Google. I understand why they use Valhalla for navigation, because they can tweak it for their needs. But the display is ugly google, which is weird to me.
