    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    You can see white at the bottom of some of the pedestals. So pretty sure they’re V3 (v4 are black at the bottom).

    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    Nice - jealous of the river trip! A little hard to tell, but it looks like there is a pedestal base installed between the prefabs. Along with the concrete work, I guess this is for a larger handicap stall? And the base that's still sitting in front of the prefabs might be for a pull-in stall...

    Supercharger - Kalispell, MT (under construction Apr 2024, 8 V4 stalls)

    Surprisingly, that's a different "Super-1" chain! MN, etc: Store Finder - Grocery Store Search | Super One Foods MT, etc: Locations

    Supercharger - Kayenta, AZ

    Maybe this is a joke(?), but unless I’m misunderstanding where these are going, you can’t drive in that dirt area - it has demonstrations of earthen Native American homes and related interpretive signs.

    Supercharger - Bryce Canyon City, UT

    If you are disappointed anytime proclamations of expected supercharger opening dates don’t come true, you will be frequently disappointed. :) This is so common, that the phrase “it will be ready in 2 weeks” has become a running joke on the site. Occasionally, predictions do turn out to be...

    It’s not April fools day (I checked my watch), so I hope this is for real!!

    Supercharger - Wellington, UT

    I'm not so sure about this assertion. In my experience, 5 years ago, most V2 sites were empty. Today, (again, in my experience) they're much more likely to be full. I don't think this is true. A full V2 site can output ~74 kW per stall (148 kW per cabinet). I full V3 site can output ~90 kW...

    Supercharger - Kalispell, MT (under construction Apr 2024, 8 V4 stalls)

    That list is just showing who marked utilities at the site (before digging even began). It doesn’t indicate that construction is complete. Most recent pictures showed an empty concrete pad, presumably where the transformer will go, eventually.

    Supercharger - Farr West, UT

    Could be! But maybe they were heading Farr-ther West?

    Supercharger - Chemult, OR - US-97 (under construction April 2024, 8 V3 stalls)

    Thanks for the pic! Pedestals look tall enough to be V4?! Also, this is a different config than V3 prefabs I've seen (pedestals rotated 90 degrees, cabinets at the end instead of the middle).

    π/2? #Nerds!

    Supercharger - Frisco, CO

    In other words, it's probably for this site (Supercharger - Copper Mountain, CO), which is already under construction, rather than the future NEVI site in Frisco. Maybe the Copper Mtn one is going live??

    Supercharger - Deming, NM

    I would have looked suspiciously at the car in the paired stall!!

    Supercharger - Ely, NV

    Thanks for the info! Does this refer to the site elevation in Ely, the road to get there, or ??? And why would this not have been known initially?

    Probably so, but I wouldn’t put much stock in an article that also refers to “Kalispell, Wyoming”! :rolleyes:

    Wyoming Superchargers

    So, there's a new "coming soon" site on the recently updated "Find Us" map for Kemmerer, WY. Any chance this will be at the Ridley's Market in town, similar to Ely, NV? @upinatem

    Trailer Mode Option

    I had the same issue. Mine magically appeared after several days, without even installing a software update. Not sure how that works!

    Supercharger - Las Vegas, NM - 7th St

    Good info, thanks for sharing! Maybe I’m missing something, but there doesn’t seem to be anything here that says that the Arby’s site isn’t also happening, is there? In my opinion , it seems unlikely that Tesla would upgrade the existing comfort inn V2 to V4 without another working site in Las...

    Snow, Ice, and regenerative braking

    This response seems to assume driving on something other than ice. Perhaps that approach works on slightly slippery surfaces, but I can assure you, you don't get weight transfer without acceleration or deceleration, and you will get extremely little of that on ice. This strikes me as an...

    Colorado Superchargers (location speculation, discussion)

    Although I agree that a supercharger near WP would be nice, it's not true that there are no DCFC in the valley. Plugshare shows DCFC in Fraser (Fraser River Valley Lions Pond | Fraser, CO | EV Station), Snow Mtn Ranch (Nordic Center - YMCA of the Rockies | Granby, CO | EV Station), and Granby...

    I heard this one was delayed because Elon was having a tough time deciding which of the two businesses in “town” would host: Alien Research Center or E-T-Fresh Jerky!

    Supercharger - Sheridan, WY

    Well, new sites in MT are now all open. Wish it was possible to go from Evansville to Billings without needing to charge in Sheridan, but at 275 miles, it ain’t gonna happen. Could get ugly at the Sheridan charger this summer!

    Supercharger - Burlington, WA - Marketplace Dr. (LIVE Jun 2023, 16 V3 stalls)

    Here's the report I saw on Plugshare from a supercharger in El Dorado, KS. Who knows, but might be the same thing here? Upgrading 4 chargers at a time seems to imply something in the supercharger cabinet... jrklein Tesla Model S 57 Kilowatts 57kW @ 50% SoC. 12/18 visit 107kW @ 10% SoC. Tesla...

    Trailer Mode Option

    Did the next software update fix your issue? I paid for trailer hitch installation, but "trailer mode" does not appear in the "pedals and steering" menu. Haven't tried using the wiring yet.

    Supercharger - Burlington, WA - Marketplace Dr. (LIVE Jun 2023, 16 V3 stalls)

    FWIW, I saw reports elsewhere (either on this forum or on PlugShare) that Tesla was retrofitting some v3 sites for upcoming compatibility with other automakers that will begin using these stations with an adapter or native NACS. Maybe they are doing the same thing here?

    Dawson Creek Supercharger

    I’m all for optimism on a supercharged route to AK, but I don’t think this is realistic. They might possibly, maybe, build Dawson creek in 2025, but no way they build all the way to AK in 2025. Too many long-remaining holes in the lower 48, unfortunately (Kayenta, Kalispell, Ely, Cody, okanogan...

    Supercharger - Durango, CO

    Mostly agree, but have to say I was a bit mystified to see Escalante near the top of the list so far. It's only 47 miles from Bryce Canyon City, where Tesla has already pledged to build a charger (from a previous round of voting). Torrey or Hanksville would be great, but I don't see the...

    Supercharger - Durango, CO

    I'm guessing Durango is going to be a "bonus" location whenever Tesla closes the current round of supercharger voting. Durango is currently #6 in North America, usually they add the top 5 locations to the "coming soon" map (the powerful eastern Canada lobby seems to have locked up the top 5...

    Snow, Ice, and regenerative braking

    Good observations - it's true that this situation can be partially mitigated by experience, but it's a frustrating (and unnecessary) compromise. There are 3 problems with feathering the throttle to try to avoid regen-induced skidding, even for those with Tesla experience: 1) It takes...

    November/December Waiting Room

    I believe all the 7 seaters come from Fremont, so it’s got a ways to travel. We ordered an inventory LR7 on Nov 26, originally estimated for delivery Dec 8-14, but then offered for delivery on Dec 5 (actually picked up yesterday). This is in CO but hopefully yours arrives sooner than estimated too!

    Please suggest wheel size LR 19” vs 20”

    I don't have personal experience from the model Y, but in general, advantages of the smaller 19" wheels would be: better range (330 EPA vs 318) better ride less expensive (both for the initial purchase and for replacement tires) less chance of damaging a wheel on a pothole Advantages of the...

    Wait, is this still true? There were reports several months ago that Tesla was bringing back this option? (Tesla brings back regenerative braking options on its electric cars) We have a 2019 M3 RWD and the option for "low" regenerative breaking was never removed. Driving on ice, it's...

    Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

    How is it that they list the 6 months of free supercharging as a loyalty/referee bonus, when (according the order webpages), they are currently offering anyone 6 months of free supercharging (no referral required)? It would be great if the two 6 months added together to make a year of free...

    I didn’t say the car was off-road capable, I said the feature you were clamoring for exists, and it’s called off road mode (actually off-road assist). Sheeesh!

    Sorry you don’t like the car! From what I’ve read, engaging off road mode does exactly this.

    Maximum DC charging power is generally proportional to the total capacity of the pack. AC charging rate is limited by the car’s internal charger.
