    Supercharger - Quincy, WA

    I was leaving the Spokane airport last Friday (3/3) and set my destination as the Quincy SC. I then got the message that this SC was closed so I stopped and charged @ Moses Lake instead and by-passed Quincy. On Monday I didn't have enough juice to make it to Sprague, my preferred charger, so I...

    Supercharger - Quincy, WA

    This station is off line. I tried it yesterday. Plugshare shows someone unsuccessfully trying to charge on March 3

    Running out of Charge and Dead Battery

    I have taken my 2016 X down to zero % (I have the car set to show % not miles) on multiple occasions. I have never actually run out of battery where it was undriveable. I keep a log of miles and %s for nearly every charge and trip I make to help me determine my needed % to complete my trip...

    Supercharger - Castlegar, BC

    My buddy, who works @ Fortis just told me, "I believe it is up and running because I know they took down the fencing." Can anyone check?

    Supercharger - Castlegar, BC

    I have a good friend who manages projects for Fortis. He made inquiries and says the issue is that Fortis needs to change the transformer on the street coming into this charging station. I guess with the number of spots @ this charger, there is a potential to draw a large amount of electricity...

    Supercharger - Castlegar, BC

    I drove by on Friday. Still completely fenced off. Kind of weird

    Supercharger - Princeton, BC

    I used it. Some weird detours in town but I couldn't find evidence of flooding near the chargers. Hwy 3..............nightmare

    Supercharger - Princeton, BC

    Does anyone know the status of this supercharger after the flooding? I want to travel home on Hwy 3 and it would be bad if I can't charge here

    Supercharger - Osoyoos, BC

    There are now plenty of Chademos that allow travel on Hwy 3. Esp with the Princeton Supercharger helping with flexibility. Osoyoos, Rock Creek, Greenwood, Cristina Lake, etc. The changed date was a gut punch. I was sure we would see Osoyoos this summer:(

    Supercharger - Osoyoos, BC

    Perhaps the info I received from the workers on-site in Princeton last October wasn't entirely accurate with regard to Supercharger priority. I haven't been on the Tesla site lately but it seems as if they are trying to give more specific info. According to Tesla's website, Osoyoos is the...

    Supercharger - Princeton, BC

    Per the "designer" @ Fortis, "the service is energized. Not sure on the Tesla side". This is a transcribed direct quote from what I received in writing from Fortis

    Supercharger - Princeton, BC

    Where there was an empty pad before (the one that was being finished in my presence), there are now electric boxes. I didn't realize that folks expect evidence beyond what I personally witnessed. Sorry

    Supercharger - Princeton, BC

    I went by........again............and plugged in..........nada. My unprofessional opinion is that someone just needs to throw a switch. I called Princeton City hall, Carolyn said that there was a crew there two weeks ago but that she has no information on when it would be ready. I charged @...

    Engineering Explained- wheel size effects on electric cars

    I reduced my rim size from a 20" to a 19" on my Model X because I read (somewhere) that I would gain 3%-5% range if I did that. I can't honestly say that I have noticed a difference. There is consensus that range can be improved by using wheel covers that are designed for range efficiency. Any...

    Aftermarket Model X brighter headlights

    I try to avoid night driving altogether because of all the deer. Much of my driving is on two lane county roads with no shoulder or lighting. I would love to have stronger headlights. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of brighter, aftermarket brighter headlights for a 2016 Model X? Thanks

    Regenerative braking limited

    This happens to me all the time. It doesn't need to be much below 32F for the regenerative braking to not work. It is frustrating in that, just when one needs the most efficient use of power because it is cold, the regenerative breaking goes away. I wonder if setting the performance to...

    Supercharger - Osoyoos, BC

    I finally went by in the day time. Based on the (reported) address on the permit there is no activity. It looks like an ideal location. I ran into the crew working in Princeton. Osoyoos is on the list but not highest priority. They lead me to believe that it will happen in 2021 but that...

    Supercharger - Castlegar, BC

    I ran into the crew working in Princeton. They lead me to believe that, were it not for Covid, Castlegar would have happened in 2020. My inkling is that Castlegar happens in early 2021

    Supercharger - Princeton, BC

    I am in Princeton right now staring @ the Supercharger. There are gentlemen here back-filling right now. They say that they will be completely done shortly and that after today it is all on Fortis to bring their box. I will add a picture later

    Supercharger - Princeton, BC

    Where is the info coming from that there will be extra superchargers/supercharging installed in Kelowna and Kamloops as opposed to servicing some of the new areas eg Grand Forks, Osoyoos, Cranbrook? Princeton is great but not much help without Osoyoos or Grand Forks. Also I believe that Osoyoos...

    Supercharger - Princeton, BC

    I went through Princeton super late on Thursday and I couldn't find the Supercharger location by just gazing from Hwy 3. (To be honest I wasn't dying to see it since I had a tight charge to make it to Greenwood.) I drove by what I believe to be the location in Osoyoos and there was no sign of...

    Wiki Trailer-friendly Supercharger Locations

    Ritzille WA should be doable as well because you can charge on the dirt side of the chargers (as opposed to the asphalt).
