    Supercharger - Longmont, CO (permit approved 15 Dec 2023, 8 V3 stalls + 12 L2 stalls)

    I drive by once per week, and will update if anything changes here. Interestingly, the pin on the permit map is in a slightly different location than supercharge.info I think the supercharge.info pin location makes the most sense, right behind the Starbucks. I think that white car is in the...

    Supercharger - Longmont, CO (permit approved 15 Dec 2023, 8 V3 stalls + 12 L2 stalls)

    I live in the area, I'll be watching this one. The intersection of State Hwys 287/119 is a reasonable spot... but the other side of 287 makes more sense to me. Newer retail, new Costco. Maybe it just sounds better to say, "The Longmont Supercharger is on the corner of Pratt and Pratt."

    Wyoming Superchargers

    Last year we went through Rock Springs -> Jackson to Yellowstone. More chargers are more better. :) We could have used a Supercharger in Pagosa Springs or Durango last weekend.

    Driving from Denver, CO to Mesa Verde National Park

    We stayed at a hotel with 4 J1772 connectors and we were able to charge overnight each night in Durango. Only mild charge-anxiety, half the parking spots were ICE'd each night. But with 6kW overnight, not really an issue. We have 2018 model S 100D, and used about 60+% charge between Poncha...

    Driving from Denver, CO to Mesa Verde National Park

    Resurrecting an old thread for discussion/help. I'm planning this trip in my MS. Boulder county to Mesa Verde. Not too worried about destination charging in Durango, there seem to be a few level-2 options. But for piece of mind, and to avoid the Farmington side trip (with young kids), I'm...

    WTB / borrow / rent CCS or CHAdeMO adapter, Colorado

    I'm looking to buy (beg, borrow, loan, rent) a Tesla CHAdeMO adapter or a Setec CCS1 adapter. If it can be borrowed or rented, I would need it for about a week: 10/13 - 10/20 It's last minute, but I had a rental unit lined up, but unfortunately it will not be returned in time.

    Why Are You With Tesla

    I'll never forget diesel-gate. My VW TDI was sitting in that lot for a long time... But VW's buyback paid for a big chunk of the Tesla. We are an EV-only household. Leaf and Model S. The Leaf was our gateway car. The Tesla is not perfect, but certainly suits most of our needs. Range and...

    Which vaccine did you get?

    I will be getting first available vaccine. I have friends with risk factors that are working with their doctors to choose a vaccine that minimizes their health risks. A friend who suffers from blood clots will be avoiding the AstraZeneca vaccine for now, for example.

    Precious Cargo: Securing bike inside vs. out

    I put a hitch on my car, and use the 1UP rack. I use a cable lock to secure bikes to the rack if I'm stepping away from the car. My 100D has approximately 200 miles of range with multiple bikes on the 1UP rack.

    $250 Referral credit for 3 premium LTE service?

    My referral must have been from the previous program (old check-payment program vs. new credit program), I received a check in the mail today. For timing reference, I placed my solar order in October, and was installed in November, turned on in December.

    Am I the exception since I have always had a great service experience?

    You're not alone. I've had very good Service experiences. I suspect part of it has to do with the number of vehicles sold in a given region.

    Excellent Tesla Service experience

    Great news! I also just had a excellent service experience at the new service center in Superior, Colorado. Loaner car + yellow screen fix + Acceleration shudder + body panel fitment fixes. All in about 2 days, with excellent communication before, during and after.
