Update from PlugShare tonight about stalls 1A/1B being replaced! Probably just being replaced with a new 150kwh V2, but hopefully that means peak rates more often at this SC. Will be driving through here for the first time on the way to Telluride in about 2 weeks so hopefully they’re usable by then.

were you the only one charging at the time?

Yep, I forgot to say this. Money is only one factor in the equation of how a Supercharger gets built. You also need to consider the legal approvals/permits and any local utility challenges you might have. I suspect the issue in Kayenta was a problem of local approval and utility capacity.

While I agree that we need to accelerate SC expansion outside of California, I wouldn’t agree they’re stifling by maximizing profitability. I think they’re growing it as fast as they can despite it not being in all the places we’d like. I mean just look how many SCs are on the map for the next 2...

I know it sucks to see so many chargers being put in California especially when they’re close to one another, but my two cents as to why they’re doing that is because California is: A.) where the highest amount of Tesla’s are in the country and B.) where wait times at Superchargers are...

Was just coming here to post this! Tesla just updated the supercharger map with new locations and more specific timelines for each: Find Us | Tesla

Did you see any indication that further construction was being prepped or done on the site? Like a permanent expansion?

Yeah you're talking about my dream SC network for the Mountain/Southwest region there For starters, I'd be happy with even just a reliable 120kW at Gallup. My biggest concern with this site is that I'd roll through and even when there's no one else charging, I'd get low kW. That seemed to be a...

I have been obsessively checking PlugShare the past few days to see if the holiday travelers have any hints to provide about what's going on over there haha. The latest one says that they're charging at max rates (120kw) but take that with a grain of salt because we know that 4 of the "new" SCs...

Exactly this. Back before the Quartzite location got mega-upgraded to V3, they had a bunch of Urbans on pallets temporarily until construction completed. This is really exciting news to hear that this site is being upgraded prior to my upcoming trip from Phoenix to Telluride in February...

Heard from where?

I check this website almost daily to see new SC build-outs: supercharge.info Unfortunately, you see a whole lot of them being built in CA and not so much elsewhere. I get it though, they're probably focusing on where there is the highest concentration of Teslas and where there is currently some...

Great suggestions! After giving it some more thought, your #1 suggestion is solid. I think we’ll time it so we have dinner in Cortez while charging at one of the several L2 chargers in town. I’ll do Payson>Gallup, then get an hour of charge on an L2 in Cortez while we eat dinner then finish off...

Yep, am aware of these tips. I'd use all of them if it meant I would only need to charge in Payson and Gallup like the in-car nav says. Since I can't predict weather or headwinds on the day of my actual trip, I think I'll just make a day-of decision on whether I charge to 100% in Gallup and send...

Nothing compares to Telluride...most beautiful place I've ever skied :) I'll make this trip work one way or another! But yes, back to the original thread topic...

Wow, good note on Ophir pass. ABRP was actually routing me through there. I have heard about Ophir pass from my many times to Telluride but never would have expected a navigation system to route me through there! At the moment, I’m leaning towards doing the route of Payson>Gallup>Farmington...

Here you go:

Hey man, trust me I'm not an EV hater or anything! I love my Tesla dearly and road trips in it are so fun for me. I personally am not worried about the extra time/distance, just thinking of my passengers. Sorry if I came off a certain way to you as such, I didn't mean to. Just trying to figure...

No, the drive to Telluride in an ICE is 7 hours and 37 minutes from my house (according to Apple Maps). ABRP is showing a total trip time of 10 hours and 52 minutes, including 60 mins of total charging at Holbrook, Gallup, and Farmington. So actually, over 3 hours longer. If not adding that...

Nope, arriving with 9% SoC would fine! Assuming that's actually what it ends up being around and not something terrifying like 2% haha. I was more just asking for what other people's experiences are like when driving from Phoenix to Telluride, where you charged, and how much SoC you arrived with...

Thanks for all the help, guys! ABRP actually does let me input the extra weight for my passengers and gear (I put 500lbs) and outside temp. I won’t have any gear strapped to the outside of the car. We’ll probably limit heater usage and rely on seat heaters (or nothing) if we can. Weirdly, all...

You're right, I just looked this up and it really is barely longer distance to go through Gallup. The only benefit to the Kayenta one though is that it'd be a V3 SC no doubt, which would be a huge upgrade over the 4-stall V2 one in Gallup that is not always putting out full power (according to...

Anyone know a way to contact Tesla to ask about the status of this specific supercharger? Planning a ski trip to Telluride Colorado in February 2021 and having this charger available by then would make that trip from Phoenix Arizona a whole lot easier. So many chargers being built in...

Really hoping the Kayenta charger comes online soon. I grew up skiing in Telluride, CO and the quickest way there is through Kayenta. The current Supercharger network requires you to divert all the way to Gallup, NM. Has anyone heard anything about Kayenta?

Picking up today at 1pm and couldn't be more excited!

Called Scottsdale showroom sales line and the guy was super helpful in helping me change my delivery date to tomorrow! Picking it up 12/1 at 1pm!

Just got the delivery text! 12/2 tentatively scheduled. Scottsdale AZ. White P3D- with 19" wheels.

Ah, got it. I ordered the same except with the 19” wheels. I’m in Arizona so I’m really hoping my config is coming in right after yours.

What config did you order?

That makes sense. I guess midnight silver metallic gets delivered before white.

Really? I’m in AZ as well but haven’t heard any update about delivery. When did you get the delivery text? I ordered before you on October 5th, and switched to Stealth Performance on Nov 20. What color did you order? I ordered white.

That might explain it. Everyone who got delivery texts yesterday seems to have 18" Stealths. I ordered 19", so hoping it comes any day now.

18" or 19" wheels?

Yeah, seems to be west coast entirely right now. AZ can't be far behind now :)

Everyone getting delivery texts seem to be in California! Still waiting for those Arizona delivery texts to come through...

Just called my Delivery Center and my VIN is still in pre-production, so there's been no movement yet for me unlike others today. Location: Arizona Order Date: Oct 5 (LR AWD) Switched to Stealth Performance: Nov 20 VIN: 627560
