    Supercharger - Conifer, CO

    Worked great! Fast charge. I didn’t need it, but wanted to test it out. I was surprised to see it appear on my map. This will be very helpful going ‘South’ (West). It’s at the top of the hill. With camping gear and two bikes on top, I could have used a charge to avoid range anxiety...

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    I was at Idaho Springs yesterday and it worked fine. I think 62 kw and roughly 150 miles/hour. 2nd one in from the chargers nearest I70. Maybe the recent software update helped.

    Model 3 Roof Rack (For Bike)

    I just got a RockyMounts SwitchHitter and a RockyMounts Brass Knuckles. Both worked great this weekend. They attach well to roof rack, but they are not that easy to install. But looks like you’ve investigated these options. At 190 and 220 dollars respectively, plus lock cores and tax comes...

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    I noticed the same. When I used Search, it only gave me Silverthorne. When I found it on the map, it gave me the option to Pre-condition. That helped, but still not insane charging. Even so, I had plenty of charge after Kim and Go for bathroom and coffee.

    But Sdoorex’s photo shows 240mi/hr

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    My car was charging at 112-114 miles/hr. It may just be that it was very cold, and I didn’t need as much charge. But I want to make sure there isn’t a reason my car was limiting charge rate. Thx for photo of Silverthorne Charger tipped. Maybe this will generate a few replacements with...

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    Oops. But I tried the other first, and I would have needed to shovel a little. Those cords are short. Cheers that the lot was plowed, but there was still a little snow bank.

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    I have sometimes made a one night increase before a long trip day, and that is the only time I’ve felt regen is artificially reduced. Cold starts it it’s just not possible is my understanding. I would warn ski trippers of my experience. I hustled off trying to beat morning I-70 traffic (which...

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    Lol. Partly I just need to relax, but it will be easier with options along the way. I almost always finish with plenty, I just worry as I’m headed up in the morning watching the miles drop. I’m getting used to it. I did have to turn back on that terrible Friday trying to go to Steamboat. I...

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    Now that Model Y is rated at 315 mile range, I think our next vehicle will be another Tesla. I was hesitant to get a Y when it was rated with a shorter range until we get more quality chargers along I-70. I have enough range anxiety as it is while skiing.

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    Yep, right by it. If you get off at Mt Evans exit and go north instead of south, then make a quick right. Any chance Silverthorne could get a few of these V3’s. I’m hoping once this crew is done they will continue making stations along I-70.

    Supercharger - Silverthorne, CO

    Idaho Springs is finishing new chargers. Any chance Silverthorne will get upgrades. Silverthorne is a ton more helpful, but not very dependable. At least upgrade the first 3-4 (often not working) chargers.

    Supercharger - Silverthorne, CO

    We tried to drive the Tesla to Steamboat Springs this evening, but I70 was a parking lot, and I think Rabbit Ears Pass was closed. Before turning around near Georgetown, I saw that 3/8 chargers would be available in Silverthorne if not for the parking lot between us. I’m wondering if...

    Were all the stations working at Silverthorn?

    Supercharger - Silverthorne, CO

    Avoiding Silverthorne I have an Inno Ski Cargo box and Blizzak tires on my Model 3. It’s a little tight, but with ideal conditions (except cold which is standard in the morning) I was able to get from East Denver, to A-Basin via Loveland pass, back over pass, drop skiers and return home on a...

    Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

    Note from photo. I had to quick take that shot because there was no parking available. It maybe an unfortunate spot. Also, from Denver I wasn’t too far below 80%. Especially if you trip-charge closer to 100% which I do when driving up I70 for the day. Still, could be helpful rescue to get...

    Thx, Very appreciated. (Like button didn’t work for me).

    Supercharger - Silverthorne, CO

    A week ago, 12/15/19, it was still a big problem. I think it was the three chargers 2,3, and 4 counting out from Starbucks. One guy said one of the chargers hadn’t worked for many months. It seemed a central problem was the chargers sitting on the ground in the snow. The hang up latch is...
