    Supercharger Layoffs Affected Progress?

    Sure - but surely there were sites mid-deployment that will still continue until deployed, right? Or did everyone just walk away leaving half-finished projects?

    Supercharger Layoffs Affected Progress?

    I ask because since the announcement on Monday supercharge.info has had ZERO changes for the US, Mexico, or Canada. TONS of updates for China though. North America gets a skip day on supercharge.info every now and then... but FOUR days seems "off".

    Virginia DOT (VDOT) Releases Phase 1-A Charger Station Plan

    VDOT has released their plan (1-A stage) rewards for spending money on EV charging infrastructure. Sadly for those of us in SW Richmond (Chesterfield) there are no plans for chargers along 288 and the entire Richmond to Afton Mountain corridor of I-64 gets nothing in this phase. Looks like the...

    New Yeehaw junction Supercharger

    Happy for Florida but there are stretches of I-10 from Alabama to Arizona that could REALLY use a station like this!

    Lots of new data at supercharge.info

    Anyone else seeing no data since Midnight for North America/USA on the Changes tab?

    Supercharger - Stuarts Draft, VA

    And 1D is fixed! Very nice! This time I got 35 kW on 1B. Moved to 1C and got ~200 kW.

    Stephen Colbert Warns Tesla Owners: Everyone Hates Us

    You might be my new favorite person. Thank you for that cogent response! Also: "They also think that somehow electric vehicles are going to break the electrical grids." (meanwhile... over at the cryptocurrency farm....) 😂

    Stephen Colbert Warns Tesla Owners: Everyone Hates Us

    Last night Stephen Colbert, who I believe owns a Tesla, warned us Tesla owners: "everyone hates you". You can skip his comments about rat anatomy by going to 4:53 in the video, that's where the Tesla bit starts. DOES everyone hate us? If so, why? Meanwhile™️ - "Tesla Cybertruck is the...

    Supercharger - Richmond, VA - Forest Hill Avenue

    Interesting. Another not-west-side west-side charging location. The good news is this will hopefully take some pressure off of the Manchester Sheetz location but the bad news is that it's still so far from 288 and those of us on the west side or those of you bypassing Richmond on the west side...

    Supercharging with a trailer

    All Electric Family (YouTube) does a LOT of EV towing and sharing their experiences with charging while towing. Check out their videos: https://www.youtube.com/@AllElectricFamily

    Do you normally use "CHILL" mode or "NORMAL" mode with your model Y?

    I use chill mode. Keeps me from being stupid and saves on range.

    Supercharger - Stuarts Draft, VA

    One of the stands here appears to be damaged. Oops! Otherwise I charged twice here today on 3 different stands and never got above 100kw. Ugh. Hopefully just a bad day for this Supercharger. Otherwise the Sheetz was clean, food was good, and staff friendly. Thankful for this site!

    Supercharger - Richmond, VA - S Providence Rd

    Ideally the best place to put one, for real, on the west side of Richmond is that 288/60 exit on the west side of that interchange. Plenty of gas stations or shopping parking lots to put them in.

    Supercharger - Richmond, VA - S Providence Rd

    Please feel free to suggest better locations (using the link Tdreamer provided). I could literally put in 30 gas stations on the west side of Richmond but I'm sure Tesla doesn't want that kind of feedback from me.

    Supercharger - Richmond, VA - S Providence Rd

    THANKS! I put in a suggestion for the Metro Richmond Zoo (8300 Beaver Bridge Rd, Moseley, VA 23120). Would help fill in a giant hole where there aren't any chargers and maybe help with zoo attendance in the process!

    Did you own any other brand of EV before getting a Tesla?

    Before getting my MYLR this week I leased a Kia Nero back in 2022. The car itself was pretty good (obviously no Tesla) but I got rid of it because I was so fed up with the state of DC fast charging on EA, Blink, EVgo, etc. I swore I wouldn't own another EV until it was a Tesla. BUT the...

    Supercharger - Richmond, VA - S Providence Rd

    Stopped in for a charge yesterday (Sunday) around 3:30 PM. Every stall was taken. I was 1st in line and when I left someone was waiting for my spot. It's a 13 mile tolled drive for me to get to this Supercharger from home and another 13 miles back. I sure wish Tesla would put a SC out 360 or...
