    Supercharger - Baker, CA (LIVE / EXPANDED 40 V2 + 20 V3 stalls)

    I charged there today. The Superchargers are great, but the location is horrible. This guy at the Dairy Queen wanted to charge me $11.30 for a SMALL milkshake. Obviously I told him I would npot pay that much for a SMALL milkshake. The line at Jersey Mike's was really long.

    Supercharger - Carlin, NV

    Too bad they keep constructing Superchargers that are less useful than one in Ely.

    Supercharger - Cedar City, UT

    I should have charged in Beaver and skipped this slow SuperCharger. I could have made it to Las Vegas without another charge if I had stopped in Beaver.

    Please add Cedar City, UT. The Superchargers there were slow with charging at 50 kW. There were 4 chargers on skids with conduits connected to a pole with a transformer on the pole.

    Supercharger - Wells, NV

    @5Wheeler Greenlots has a DC fast charger in Albuquerque, but it was a problem for me before the Superchargers were functional. The technician rebooted the Chademo a couple of times before I gave up.

    Supercharger - Wells, NV

    I ordered my Brown P85+. It was the first P85+ in Houston. It was a fantastic car. My signature was not udated when I traded for the 2020.

    Supercharger - Wells, NV

    @Fiver I would have kept my 2013 P85+ if the 2020 Long Range Model S didn't have as much range. I get so many more options for road trips now.

    @Tectonic I think I could make it from Wells to Las Vegas, but not from Las Vegas to Wells.

    Supercharger - Wells, NV

    I used the Supercharger in Klamath Falls for a range charge, and took the Winnemucca to the Sea Highway through Lakeview and arrived in Winnemucca with my 2020 Model S. A Supercharger in Lakeview would be quite useful. I was also able to drive from Winnemucca directly to Tonopah without an...

    EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) for $4k. Who’s in?

    I just went for a drive and tested the EAP features. I really like the navigate on Autopilot suggesting desired lanes. It is a whole new driving experience. I have no buyer's remorse for purchasing EAP form my 2020 Model S.

    I wonder where they will park all these cars? They will only sell a fraction of what is claimed to be manufactured.

    EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) for $4k. Who’s in?

    I told my wife even though I didn't want to. Her Model 3 has EAP ; so, she would have had a hard time telling me no. She was horrified about the expense! I told her that it was better than spending $8000 which was my only option a few weeks ago.

    EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) for $4k. Who’s in?

    I have EAP on my 2018 Model 3. I park my Ducati in front of the Model 3. I frequently use summon to back the car out of the garage for access to the motorcycle. I use it to move the car back in the garage after getting the motorcycle out of the garage. Getting into the car with motorcycle gear...

    Supercharger - Hines, OR

    Paving in the route was completed in the mid 1960's, and it was commemorated as the Winnemucca to the Sea Highway. If you are going to the Oregon coast from Salt Lake City, it is by far the closest and fastest route. I just drove from Klamath Falls, OR to Winnemucca today.. I have a 2020 Model S...

    How to remove center wheel caps?

    I used a suction cup from my light bulb changer. It worked better than using tape.

    Supercharger - Hines, OR

    @Tectonic Superchargers in Lakeview and Burns would make the drive from Northern Oregon to Reno much easier. I also drive through Lakeview on the Winnemucca to the Sea Highway.

    Supercharger - Lake Charles, LA

    I have encountered pick up trucks parked there on more than one occasion when I have Supercharged there. Rednecks in Lake Charles seem to delight in showing disgust with Teslas.

    Why I'll Use the ICE Car For Vacation

    The only way I would do a road trip in an ICE would be a Corvette Roadster with the top down. My 400 mi range in my 2020 Model S with autopilot is a great way to travel long distances. If I was by myself I and didn't want the EV experience, I would ride my Ducati.

    Used Delivery from Cali to TX

    I have no wind noise on either side. I heard complaints about wind noise in the Model 3. I also have no wind noise on my 2018 Model 3. I was lucky with the flight from Las Vegas to Denver. There were only 15 passengers. My wife and I had a row to ourselves. The Las Vegas airport was deserted...

    Used Delivery from Cali to TX

    I ordered a 2020 Long Range Plus Model S before the factory closure. While the factory was closed I found one identical to the one i ordered in Denver. Instead of paying $2k for delivery. My wife and I flew to Denver and took delivery. We enjoyed the drive back to Las Vegas. The biggest hassle...

    Question for former MS owners who own model 3 now.

    Model 3 would be great for just city driving. Model S is fantastic if you ever do a road trip. For city driving only the Model 3 will use consume less electricity. I was able to get EAP in the Model 3. It isn't available in my 2020 Model S. $7000 for FSD is not going to happen for the Model S. I...

    UT Road trip in EV- Hwy 15, SR 12 - National Park routes

    I did it in a Model 3, and Torrey is further than Boulder. You should easily make it in the Long Range Plus Model S. I went through Duck Creek Village from Cedar City. I also went into Bryce National Park which consumed a little more energy than you will need if you skip Bryce.

    Round Trip Cross Country Camping Road Trip

    From Las Vegas take the North Shore Highway into Overton, NV and skip the Valley of Fire. It isn't worth the admission cost for a drive through. You can rejoin I-15 just south of Mesquite. The scenic drive though Red Rock Canyon very close to Las Vegas is better than Valley of Fire...

    Supercharger - Casper (Evansville) WY

    You helped me find a Dr in Casper where I could charge between Lusk and Sheridan. I charged at his house and had a burger at a nearby bar. The Hampton Inn in Sheridan had a couple of HPWC chargers.

We ate at the Steak House there. They have 2 Tesla HPWC's. It would be even easier in my 2020 Model S Long Range+. We didn't...

They were quite nice, but they couldn't get the charger to work either. I then went to the Sheraton and used their...

    US 93 in Nevada

    @mociaf9 Thanks for the tip to check my filters. I found it. A Supercharger would be nice, however. When I lived in Houston I used to borrow CHAdeMO adapeters. With more Superchargers and not too many CHAdeMO chargers I never got around to buying one. I suspect I can borrow or rent one in Las...
