@RoBoRaT @turns2stone Ahhh, I naively made the assumption that since the harness was right there under the tub, and that the service manual said to install under the fascia, that the reverse was the same, I didn't realize they changed the location when they quit including them by default...

I just did this on a 2019 Model 3 LR. I was able to remove the frunk tub and get to the harness without taking off the fascia. Pulling the cap off the harness was more complicated than I would have guessed, you have to pull the tab back, then push down. I just used a zip tie to go through the...

Unrelated to this thread but I have no clue where to post it, but I just saw a flat bed/ forklift semi carrying a bunch of Tesla boxes cardboard boxes (pallet width and depth, 2 -3 feet tall) with Denver/Perkins written in sharpie on them. 225 NB, either went to 70wb or Peoria exit. I suppose it...

There's a chargepoint charger in Silver City, NM with a chain across it, so you have to get out and undo the chain. It could have used a sign on it to indicate that it could be taken down, but rather than park a car there, I'd rather the management put a cone with a sign on it. Sure, more work...

It's already showing up on my map, so that may be part of the reason it's so busy

Yeah, I've seen this before with other charges. Before they add it to the app it soft opens and is free, but since it's not in the app, you can't precondition, so it's kind of slow

Yay! Going through tomorrow, I'm so excited!

Something weird about these chargers, that's pretty much my experience here. I try and plan my trips around charging as little as possible here. I don't understand why there hasn't been effort to expand or add a second charger in or near Moab.

This was about a year ago, and it was a recently clean yet-undriven driveway so I wasn't concerned with rocks or icebergs or anything, but I think it was like 14" of heavy wet snow. LR AWD, snow tires. Drove like a champ and needed a little momentum, but I don't think any of my other cars over...

The cars brake lights come on when it slows down, whether from braking or from regen, at a certain rate of deceleration. Sometime on a secluded road or driveway, watch the display, it has a red shadow behind the car that gets brighter when you let the accelerator go and regen comes on. You can...

Looks like it, people are charging and it's showing in the app 4/8 in use, so it seems it's fine now. No guarantees for the future, but it's probably fine

Nah, I'm a "poor" I drive the MSM 3

Here's the ones that were working for us

Still showing offline on the app and the nav, but there's three of us here charging now. Pretty slow because we didn't precondition, but better than three hours I spent in the ridgway parking lot last night....

One way or another I'm headed through tomorrow so I'll let you know

Montrose has cones in front of most of the chargers right now, but some have been moved aside and the charger seems to be working. Not sure what's going on though. One of the two chargepoints is offline as well.

And sure enough, by Monday, we find evidence that people suck. Someone brought a shopping cart down and ditched it between stalls. Otherwise, really excited for this location! I was able to start charging successfully, but was already at 80%, so I only plugged in as a test.

Yeah, I meant Mexican Water. That one. The south route. Jeez, it's been a long week (It's only Monday?) We went Mexican Hat on the way back and it was light, the hat is pretty cool, wasn't expecting that.

I was blindly following ABRP and Tesla nav and went through Mexican Hat (not Monument Valley) Even now, ABRP suggests that Monument Valley takes an additional 20%, which makes no sense at all. I wish, it was long after dark at this point, so that didn't help anything but cutting down the...

I did Blanding (95%) to Page a while back and wound up with a 25mph+ headwind (not exaggerating, it was crazy windy, reports in page were 29+). Getting to Kayenta wasn't have been too bad, but getting to Page required driving under 50mph on 65mph road. Thankfully there wasn't much traffic so I...

So, I see you're in Colorado. Personally not a huge audiophile myself, but if you're interested, I'd be happy to meet up with to do some analysis on the 3's speakers to publish a similar guide for that car. I'm in the greater Denver area, but I'm open for a reasonable drive. Certainly don't...

This is more like my experience. 5 miles on the freeway for a commute, and NoA would start exiting from the second from left lane like 4 miles out from my exit and sit in horrible traffic. That was a year ago and was super annoying, so I quit using it entirely. 0.5 mile sounds like a dream

And also the fact that mountains are range murderers. Not crazy to see 600-900+ kwh/mi going up the interstate into the mountains, esp. if it's cold. Our glut of chargers are concentrated near I-70 at the base of the mountains, and also intersecting I-25. If you take all those out, we don't...

Hey, everyone, I'm stumped. I'm going to Page, AZ to go to powell for a week (really excited!), but I can't figure out what to do. I can leave the car in the sun and turn overheat protection off, but I'd rather not. All the rv storage is full, and there's basically nothing on plugshare...

Well, that's unfortunate, I was hoping there was a clue there. I guess that means that v3 is still in the cards though.

That's a really interesting point. Three phase and utility transformers exceed my electrical knowledge, but in a few minutes of searching around and looking at some calculators, it looks like the full load of that transformer is about 750kw. Split 16 ways is 46kw, a far cry from the v3...

I suspect this one will be huge for non-garage owners, 16 stalls near grocery close to central Denver. Before a garage, I was driving out to the airport to charge because Park Meadows was always full. I don't see this as being super important for through traffic, on 70 you have the airport...

Back to Barry's post, I suspect that was causing to be offline earlier. However, I drove past yesterday and it's showing as temporarily offline, but the county is open now: Clear Creek County, CO Anyone know what's up?

I don't see why not, the seats are designed to be pretty universal since the engineering for safety is expensive; it definitely seems that it would be just the cover that is different

Preconditioning is for a pretty short distance, usually less than 30 minutes out. I can set nearby superchargers and go tangentially to them for a bit when it's cold soaked and get a false pre-con, but Silverthorne is way too far from Idaho Springs to pre-con. The other thing with pre-con is...

I think maybe the idea is if you have a charger that is consistently 99% used, why would you put one further away? Demand is exceeding supply, so putting one nearby should decrease some of the load. I feel like that second location makes a tons of sense for anyone that's not shopping but is...

I drove past last night around 10pm, and there was an open trailer and a pickup with someone in it, almost seemed like they may have been working? Everything looks the same though

I'll chime in on this, I ran some tests while sitting in traffic near the Eisenhower tunnel. (Ok, that's a lie, I was completely stopped, traffic is an understatement). Anyway, the only thing that jumped out for discernible power use was the rear window heater, it draws about 300w if I remember...

When going up in pretty cold weather, preconditioning for Silverthorne didn't happen until I was pretty close to the tunnel, no way it would have kicked on in Idaho Springs, but my understanding is that preconditioning is a huge part of getting very high charge rates, so in the cold with no...

Heh, I didn't go just to check, I went skiing as well, but this was a very nice surprise on the way up. Those thinner cords are a lot nicer in the cold. Also, Silverthorne is a wreck right now, there were 4 working stalls when I was there. Some seem to be cold weather issues, but I can't...

All chargers are lit and my car is charging successfully. Unfortunately, I have too much power to confirm V3, but the good news is the price of the current session is showing my previous session, so I can only assume that it is free for the time being.

Anyone know if it's going to be open this weekend? Even unofficially?

Yeah, I was up there around the same time Sunday, pretty impressed with how finished it looked. I'd be surprised if everything wasn't done this week (except for maybe an inspection)

There's a Kum & Go on the far side of Conifer, so it seems entirely plausible that it may go in there as well. It's down the hill a bit from the main part of Conifer, but in a decent spot nonetheless

I drove by the charger yesterday, doesn't look different than the last photos posted, but it seems that things are probably going to continue this week. I'm getting hopeful that this is almost done, but I'm not a supercharger expert.

@ColoradoEV Nah, I was up there over the weekend, looks exactly like MorrisonHiker's Jan 2nd post, I don't think a single thing has changed :( . It wasn't even worth taking pictures
