I share your skepticism but I really wish it would. The drive from Santa Rosa to lubbock is very tight at the moment, especially if winds are unfavorable and they often are in the Lubbock-> Santa Rosa direction in addition to some elevation gain. I check plugshare daily on the Clovis and Fort...

I have not been able to use valet car control app in the past several weeks, has anyone else observed this issue?

Bluedot gives 20% cash back on charging including superchargers, electrify America, and charge point that I have personally tested and use regularly. In addition they have in app charging for $0.30/kWh and many locations (especially ergo) where that is a deal. I have an invite link which gives...

I personally use a metric of just multiply by 10 and you're roughly in gas price numbers. In your example that comes out to $4.60 per [unit similar to gallon of gas] vs $3.40 per [unit similar to gallon of gas]. Interestingly, these numbers are similar in price as well as usable energy. A gallon...

I’ve been able to charge at around 130 kW with the CCS adapter from a Bluedot initiated session in Alamosa, CO, but I have a MY LR AWD. I had a 2019 M3 LR RWD and charged at the same station at 130 kW initiated by Bluedot as well. Not the same as the LFP but there are certainly good Bluedot...

There are chargepoint chargers (more reliable than Francis on avg) in Okemah. They appear to be CPE250s in a paired configuration so you may get close to 75kW peak with the CCS adapter and the cost is $0.34 / kWh. Seems like a reasonable alternative with a good price and good reliability and...

According to this Hankook iON evo vs Michelin Pilot Sport 5: New EV tire from Hankook!, the summer version of the ion evo's have a CRR of 0.0062 vs. 0.0077 for the PS5's. Note that both of these are summer tires and I believe the summer tires have a better CRR than the all seasons (or at least...

I used their link to get a price match at discount tire. You can select the exact tire configuration you want on discount tire and then add a price match. I was able to get the exact hankook ion evo tires I needed (235 45 R18 with the correct load rating (98W?)) at $199.97 per and if you buy 4...

I'm curious if it's similar to the Quanah situation where 1 of the cabinets is available and the other cabinet has its charger stalls covered and offline for a while. Hopefully these stalls will be online soon.

The Clovis SuC is no longer listed as coming soon on the Tesla supercharger website. Perhaps the map is only listing sites that are likely to be built this CY, either way a very discouraging sign. This is almost necessary for the Lubbock -> Santa Rosa/I-40 route.

My understanding is: if they are in a shared configuration, they can peak at 125 if only 1 car is using them, but only 800V-class cars will see those speeds and again *if* they choose the shared/combined configuration. 400V-class cars (pretty much everything but Taycan, Lucid, hummer, egmp) will...

Looks like an EA station is coming soon to a target in Roswell. While EA’s reputation wrt reliability has taken a hit recently, still seems preferable to a Francis station. @nwdiver do you know if anyone looking to install freewire chargers in NM. They seem perfect for rural areas.

Where is the nearest usable bathroom? Does the sonic have one usable by customers?

I should have included that as well, according to both plugshare and the charge point website, it does also have chademo!!

According to fastcharger.info and a comment on plugshare, there is a 50kW CCS charge point that just opened in Mescalero, just outside of Ruidoso at a casino. Plugshare claims to be $0.14/kWh!

That makes a lot of sense. I'm curious, do you think that having a canopy that protects the electronics from the elements increases their reliability or is it mostly in higher investment in maintenance?

IMHO, one of the complicating factors of all of this is that while power is a rate, the unit of power is not described in terms of a rate, it sounds like a non-derived unit in the same way that energy is described (they have the feeling of being standalone quantities, 0th order derivatives, both...

You can definitely save money with the CCS adapter! Electrify America has their pass+ which gives $0.31 / kWh for $4 / month (free pass is $0.43). The savings of $0.12 / kWh means if you add more than 33 kWh (about half a model 3 battery) you break even. Assuming your profile has a correct...

According to the document it’s supposed to start construction the day after thanksgiving. It would be really nice if it were completed prior to Thanksgiving. Last year after thanksgiving the 287 route was full, I don’t recall having to wait but I do recall taking the only open stall more than...

It looks like EVGo enabled autocharge+ on teslas if you have the CCS adapter. Just request to enroll and initiate via app a charging session and they claim you should be good to go.

There is an update on clean technica on the chargers Plugshare claims are scheduled to be put in: An Update On Upcoming Fast Charging Stations in Southeast New Mexico Allegedly 5 more by the end of the year. What I couldn't gather is if those 5 are in NM specifically or across Francis's entire...

The Tesla supercharger map (online, not sure about in car interface) as well as plugshare are showing this site as open, can anyone verify?

From looking at Harumio today it seemed that the chademo adapter was available again, sadly they are selling them for $590. So if you really want or need the OEM chademo adapter, this is an option, albeit an expensive one.

has anyone done real world testing on the effect on efficiency, particularly at highway speeds?

AC charging works as expected. Supercharging worked as expected, EA (after a method of payment issue) worked as expected, as well as a random ChargePoint CCS! Everything works as expected. This will be great for road trips when SuC lines are long or EAs are faster (180-190 kW + no sharing)!!

Finally got my 00-B board in from Tesla today. Used my bundle of wires (thanks @FalconFour!!) Hardest part of the installation was getting the clip back in. I did not disconnect the 12V and I used a software update rather than service mode. Worked great and hopefully I’ll test supercharging...

Thanks!! Ordered!

what keywords would be best to search for to find your listing @chopps ?

I'm not sure the range of your vehicle, but for me the clearest the clearest route to ABQ from Payson is: Payson -> Holbrook -> Gallup -> ABQ. For Dallas: ABQ -> Tucumcari -> Amarillo -> Childress -> Henrietta (Wichita Falls) -> Dallas.

A workaround for now might be to route to the other supercharger in ABQ, though since the other is V2 full speeds probably won't be achieved but better than nothing I'd imagine.

I too am interested. There are probably better tools, but I propose that all who are interested and willing to buy these should like @chopps 's post in order to get an idea of the numbers. If the numbers are favorable, @chopps can make a batch. Just a thought, and I'll start by liking the post.

I’m curious as well, I couldn’t find the listing on eBay either.

My understanding of yo-yoing is that it is when one alternates between heavy power and heavy regen (floor the accelerator then let off all the way). This cannot always be accomplished safely in all traffic conditions. If one is willing to drive in this manner, it can assist in heating the...

This must be getting close to 500A, way more than the 300 that the CCS1 tesla adapter claims to be rated for, though I’ve heard something about continuous vs peak ratings that could explain it. This is great news, EA would become a v2.5 SuC in the vast swaths of v3 deserts that exist along...

As an addendum to my comments about part numbers. I had ordered the 1537264-00-B gen 4 board and my local Tesla service center offered to install it and do the necessary firmware updates. They could not get the component working and said it would only charge briefly and then stop. They believe...

I’d be ecstatic if we could pull 490A with the CCS adapter though! So many areas along interstates only have a v2 suc with a 350 kW EA nearby, makes charging that much faster and possibly cheaper in some cases.

I find this very interesting because the article from drive Tesla Canada showing the Tesla ccs 1 adapter, given the SOC of the car, seemed to be current limited whereas this appears to take 500A which is at or near the limit of the 350 kW chargers IIRC. Hopefully we will know more soon, but the...

Gathering some information for others that are interested: typing in the part # to eBay will come up with several hits. There is the gen 3 part: 1092755-98-D, on eBay some seem to also have a 1092755-99-D (images of the part confirmed this I think). Then there is the gen 4 part which is...

Maybe I’m just an idiot, but I found no way to purchase a part from the parts catalog website, unless I wanted to fill out a form and describe my “shop” (with pictures and insurance information) of which I don’t have. I did not find “how to buy tesla parts” easily google-able, could you please...

Has anyone tried the adapter on this site? Tesla US CCS1/CCS2 (400A) It claims to take 400A, but it’s $525. Also, does anyone know of a reliable source for purchasing the upgraded board?

The Carrizozo location is still not showing up in the Francis app but someone has reported successfully charging there on PlugShare!

PlugShare is now showing the Carrizozo location without the wrench. Photos taken at the site indicate the possibility of it being active yet it does not show up in the Francis Energy app (unlike the Clines Corners location which does show up in the FE app). Has anyone corroborated the status of...

My understanding is that teslas have a pack voltage in the 300-400 and maybe up to 450? on the latest model S/X depending on SOC and pack. But @MP3Mike pointed out that the current rating in likely for continuous output and it may have higher peak current.

Excellent find @RadScientist! couple of things that I noted in trying to find out more: it appeared from my investigation to be limited to 300A. While I couldn’t quickly figure out a way to translate the user manual (1 page pdf) link, the figures shown appeared to be with a model s/x or so I...

There is a photo on PlugShare of the charging stalls in Carrizozo that show chademo plugs so I remain hopeful.

Ohh, this is the clines corners location. That detail was lost on me, I thought this was the Carrizozo location. Even more disappointing I’d say since PlugShare indicated that location would have both CCS and chademo, if all of the Francis installs in SE NM are CCS only that will be of little...

Amazing they accomplished this so quickly! The speed is a big improvement if you only have the 11 kW onboard AC charger. But CCS only is a little disappointing, all the more reason for a Tesla CCS adapter. (I’m familiar with the setec adapter but I’m waiting for a hopefully 350A capable pass...

I believe that location is in the Pueblo of Pojoaque, perhaps that is the magic ticket around the issue?

I found an RFP via google from the KCEC website. It’s not clear if the info is outdated or not, but that RFP claims the sites for the DCFCs would be in Taos and Angel Fire. https://kitcarson.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/EV-RFP.pdf

I see it now. I had to enable CCS in the filter for it to show up on plugshare, but then it appeared. Great work @nwdiver!!
