Final trip summary. My primary credit card somehow failed early in the trip. However, I only had to use my backup credit card three times. I used Google Pay or online reservations for everything. In Canada, the default at every restaurant was to use tap to pay, so I didn't even have to ask if I...

Polaris is a V2, meaning the paired pedestals (i.e. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b) share power. V3s do not share power, other than the maximum allowed by the transformer. This new location is a V3 and will remove a lot of pressure. It should improve the overall experience at Polaris as well.

Major new Wayback and road trip enhancements to Tableau. See this post on our main thread for more information.

NOTICE: Big Tableau enhancements. With the CSV approach working so well, it was time to rebuild the Wayback and road trip functionality. I also improved the layout on mobile for most dashboards. Summary of enhancements: Supercharger Map Wayback now lets you view the state of the global...

Day 45: 356 miles. New Brunswick, NJ to home. Crazy to think of how many times I've made the trip between New York and DC, and yet I spent the entire day clearing superchargers I hadn't yet visited. I spent the night in New Brunswick after visiting Bernadette and her mom in the Brooklyn area...

Day 44: 379 miles. Trip is quickly coming to a close. Tomorrow should be the last day. Spent some time in the Brooklyn area for family stuff. The new location at the Newark Airport is a mess. The location has a 7-eleven and a gas station, and it appears to be the only lot close to the airport...

Day 43: Driving. Lots of driving. 702 miles around the top end of New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire. I collected supercharger #1,400 in Williston, VT. The last four hours of driving were in darkness through an area that I surmise was beautiful. I had a similar situation driving into Ithaca...

Day 42: 631 miles. Clreared Ohio, including two turnpike service centers with east and west pins. Yuck. So much time and miles lost reversing to get the other one. At least with the route I worked out today, I entered close to the eastbound New Springfield location. Then after losing nearly 30...

Yes, they have real-time data of usage. They know full well they are heavily utilized. If they are taking them out, there is a reason, as there are some locations around the US with a V3 colocated -- or very near -- existing V2 infrastructure. We can only hope they will be dropping in V3 or V4...

Funny, I'm usually slower than what the nav predicts. My charging stops clearly aren't as quick as yours. I've experienced a number of rural detours that the nav didn't know about too. Not so much on the highways. Thank you too for the meetup in Canada. It's been super fun having so many...

Day 41: 544 miles. Cleared Michigan. Will finish Ohio tomorrow and then head for NY State. The goal is to be home Tuesday. I was pleasantly surprised when @SilverMonk texted me that they saw my route and guessed I'd pass through Jackson, so they decided to take a drive to check the Jackson's...

Still waiting on a transformer. The enclosure for the power distribution cabinets suffered some damage. Possibly from wind? This site will still be awhile before it is online.

Day 40: 654 miles. And so starts the final push of the trip. There won't be many photos, just lots of driving. I enjoyed the meetup with @StephenBrown2 for lunch. Edit: That green dot in Wisconsin is so close, but also so far. With my goal to move eastward and Chicago between me and it, I'm...

Now someone has to go take a look.

Wow. What a story. Way to help a fellow traveler out, including your wife pitching in. This is yet another proof point of how important it is for Tesla to open the network and how much Farley should be given credit for acting in his customers' best interests.

Day 39: Clearing Atlanta -- a painful 147-mile slog -- and a wonderful long lunch with a friend. Check-ins for 2023-09-13 - Morrow, GA (#1367) - Atlanta - Krog St NE, GA (#1368) (Comment: One bank of four is offline ) - Decatur - E Ponce de Leon Ave, GA (#1369) - Suwanee, GA (#1370) - Duluth...

Let's hope so. They are all needed.

It sure is.

Day 38: 599 miles. Cleared Alabama and spent time in Selma reflecting on our history and the state of the world. Check-ins for 2023-09-12 - Cottondale, AL (#1360) - Montgomery - Mobile Hwy, AL (#1361) - Montgomery, AL (#1362) - Evergreen, AL (#1363) - Dothan, AL (#1364) - Auburn - S College...

And he said he'd have to go straight back to CA from DC. 🤣

Day 37: 656 miles. Mt. Vernon, Illinois to Birmingham, AL. Enjoyed a stop at the southern tip of Illinois at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. After a long day, I was ready to get to the hotel, but there were three superchargers in the area of Birmingham to clear first. The...

The yellow lines are the new standard for most new supercharger locations. The reason that jumps to mind is that this design will be more resilient to hosting vehicles with charge ports in various locations., and potentially for a future refit to V4 pedestals.

Day 36: 581 miles. Zig-zagged my way down Illinois from Wisconsin to just north of the Mississippi/Tennessee/Arkansas/Missouri juncture. I was shocked with Springfield, Illinois. The town felt like a dying town. So many run-down and empty buildings. The primary emotion I felt while driving...

Links from the "Me" pages on supercharging.life now only show open superchargers you haven't visited (aka red and green dots only).

Fair warning, Springfield Illinois

There is a download option in the lower right corner of the window. The download option works against the whole data set that you are viewing, including narrowing the view by lasso. Select the export option that works best for you and then import into a spreadsheet for final tweaking. The...

It seems most would prefer the default map for each competitor NOT to show visited locations to make lassoing unvisited superchargers easier. I'll ask Drew to make that change. As a reminder, we can all save links to our bookmark favorites with our preferred parameter calls. THat's what I do.

Day 29-34: Family and Friends Day 35: 421 miles. Minneapolis to Milwaukee Check-ins for 2023-09-04 - Blaine, MN (#1340) Check-ins for 2023-09-09 - Eagan, MN (#1341) - Prairie du Chien, WI (#1342) - Fitchburg, WI (#1343) - Greenfield, WI (#1344)

We've fixed the link to Tableau from the "Me" pages in Supercharging.life. I apologize to all who were confused because that link took you to an obsolete version that is no longer being updated. As part of testing, a number of competitors requested the default link to your map from...

Day 29: 253 miles. Brookings, SD to Coon Rapids, MN. A pleasant drive through SW Minnesota. I'll be stationary for the week before heading out again. Check-ins for 2023-09-03 - Marshall, MN (#1338) - Willmar, MN (#1339) Overall trip stats so far 156 new-to-me superchargers 10,154 miles

Are you saying that the new site is energized and available for charging?

Day 28: 596 miles. Estevan, Saskatchewan to Brookings, SD. I collected just a single new-to-me supercharger today at Sisseton, SD, but it was another beautiful drive on the plains. The first segment from Estevan to Bismark required planning because it was close to the range limit of my vehicle...

Stopped by on my way from Evanston Saskatchewan to Bismarck. No signs of construction as I expected given @bc_coyote's post. I wonder if he can find any updates on the permit's status.

Day 27: 553 miles. Winnipeg to Moosejaw Saskatchewan and then to Evanston for my last full day in Canada. This was also the western and northern-most points for this road trip. The smoke got progressively worse all day. By Moosejaw, it was heavy. One part of me regretted this being my...

Day 26: A short 214 miles. Huge change in scenery. I'm now on the great plains and the hallmark winds were blowing strong. Nothing remarkable today. One more day in Canada.😥 Check-ins for 2023-08-31 - Prawda, MB (#1328) - Morris, MB (#1329) - Winnipeg, MB (#1330) Morris, Manitoba

I was just explaining to a friend this morning what Colby means to old-timers in this game.

Day 25: 315 miles. Thunder Bay to Kenora, Ontario. It was another pleasant drive along a route I'd never traveled before. I kept it short today so I could visit Kekabeka Falls, which didn't open until 10:30. Check-ins for 2023-08-30 - Upsala, ON (#1324) - Ignace, ON (#1325) - Dryden, ON...

Sent you a DM

When are you starting east? I'll be in Kenora Wednesday night, Winnipeg Thursday, then Estevan Friday. Any chance for a meet-up?

Day 24: 457 miles. Sault Ste. Marie to Thunder Bay. I loved today's drive. It began in heavy rain and dropped into the mid-40s for a while, but the temps recovered, and the views were spectacular. The day ended in glorious sunlight. Tesla had a big crew at Terrace Bay doing major work on all...

I love that location.

Day 23: 623 miles. The driver for today's plan was to meet up with @NKYTA at Deep River (photos in quoted message directly above). He was coming from the West, and I from the Muskoka Region. I had breakfast at a beautiful lake-side park (photo below) along the way to time my arrival at Deep...

Thanks as well for your insights. Within the Hilton chain, there was one accessible room in Sudbury and one accessible room in Sault ste. Marie. I locked in the room in Sault ste. Marie for tonight. Having to go all the way to Sault ste. Marie today will make for a quite long day, but that...

Calling @Bighorn https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/more-wyoming-superchargers.310291/

Day 22: 473 miles along the eastern shore of Lake Huron. Beautiful weather. Beautiful drive off of the interstates. Beautiful geology. Also, a big thanks to @khorton and @PLUS EV for their wonderful information about hotels on my next phase as I head west from Deep River on the TransCanada...

Thanks!! Looks like I have a number of good options. Current plan is to get to Huntsville, ON today where there is one Hilton-branded hotel with an accessible room. I'll then try to make Sault Ste. Marie tomorrow with numerous bail-out options in either North Bay or Sudbury if something slows...

Thanks for the helpful info, @PLUS EV . I carry a variety of stuff, like suction grab bars, for just such occasions, so I am prepared to make due for the next couple of days. One-level roadside motels can often work in a pinch. Will try to stop at the "bigger" cities, but that may not be...
