Fencing still up. Meter still covered.

Roaming around the middle part of the country clearing out new-to-me and need-to-revisit superchargers. Tomorrow, I'll spend most of the day roaming around Illinois to clear three need-to-revisit superchargers since I'm here, and they'd otherwise be very inconvenient to visit. Hope to spend...

neat. i need to add this to my visit list.

cc @Big Earl @juliusa @corywright FYI, I do have lat/long in my Tableau visualizations. Click on the dot, and a pop-up will include a link to search Google Maps by Lat/Long. THis visualization pulls from supercharge.info, but it is a manual process. I try to update it daily...

On a quick trip to Minnesota for an 80th birthday party tomorrow. 1,464 miles in a bit under 36 hours. Arrival timed to pick Bernadette up from the MSP airport. Yesterday was 30 mph headwinds all through Iowa, WI, and MN and it turned bloody cold. Terrible efficiency. Return trip starts...

And check out the installation costs for VA's NEVI sites. Ouch. See this presentation for more details. Tesla's installs are a fraction of these costs.

Quick summary. 2818 miles 82.75% efficiency FSD for all but about 30 miles (due to 1) fog in Mount Pocono, PA and 2) getting put in FSD jail once) Thursday was an 18 1/2 hour day of hunting, meetings, visiting friends, and NJ traffic jams. 19 new-to-me superchargers 23 revisits checked off my...

Forgotten where I left off, so here is a quick summary. Check-ins for 2024-04-06 - Nashville - Dickerson Pike, TN (#1530) Check-ins for 2024-04-08 - Columbus, IN (#1531) Check-ins for 2024-04-09 - Fort Mitchell, KY (#1532) - Loveland, OH (#1533) - Columbus - W 3rd Ave, OH (#1534) On the 7th...

Just one today, plus two revisits. We've arrived at our base camp hotel for the eclipse. Gorgeous day. Fingers crossed we'll have similar weather on Monday. Check-ins for 2024-04-06 - Nashville - Dickerson Pike, TN (#1530) We visited the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville this morning. I...

Eclipse bound. I'm also chronicling FSD 12.3.3 over long distances. I had just two disengagements today over 695 miles, using FSD for virtually every possible second from the time we left home to every supercharger and exiting every supercharger. Terrible efficiency today. 75 mph+ most of...

Congratulations on the wedding!!

You set the days to look back to any number by editing the URL. The options in the UI are just to make common selections easy. Pick one of those and then edit the URL

It's been both a gratifying week as well as a maddening week. Thursday night my fellow board members approved our charging strategy for the condo. This is been at 11-year journey, and I almost can't believe it's true. I might have been able to force this to happen sooner, but it was important...

Wow. Hadn't heard that story.

Congrats on 1,000!!!!

Here is an example of a missing meter. And here is an example with the meter installed

Can someone get photos of the Magic Dock installation at this location? Is there a meter here yet?

Confirmed. Visited yesterday about 5 pm.

CC @Big Earl or @corywright when the permit is approved so the location can be added to supercharge.info.

NACS adapter sites are for CCS vehicles. Currently that is only Ford, but Chevrolet and Rivian are coming very soon, and then it'll be a tsunami. Ford expects to begin shipping its NACS adapter to existing Lightning and Machp-E owners by the end of the month. The only people with adapters...

No one knows with certainty why Tesla does what it does, but my understanding is that non-Tesla's have few charging options in Quartzite. It could well be that Tesla intends for the Quarzite sites to be the go-to location for charging between Phoenix and LA. I believe GM vehicles will have...

If you created a new account, your old data should still be available. You have to link the two accounts together under the fleet option. You can then see your fleet's data in several ways.

Congratulations! Hunting firsts can be fun. It's a nearly full-time job in California. Since we only track visits to the day, anyone who visited yesterday will be credited with the first. You can see who else visited yesterday by viewing the supercharger in supercharging.life. below the...

We would welcome anyone who loves to travel the country and collect superchargers. Our only criterion are to have a TMC handle (i.e. an account here) and a supercharging.life account. Ideally, they'd also participate on our discussion thread to be part of the community. Personally, i think...

Sunday was beautiful in Virginia, so I looked at my unvisited map and decided to do a loop. A 466-mile loop. Result: two new-to-me superchargers and revisits to two pre-2019 visits. I also stopped in Exmore for a bathroom break, so charged there as well. Check-ins for 2024-03-03 - Norfolk -...

I went to my local Mr. Tire today to check with them about Hankooks since Hankook lists them as carrying the tires. Not a reassuring visit. They clearly have not sold many Hankook tires. They had no interest in selling Hankook tires. They don't fit tires on Teslas but instead farm it out to an...

I hope to get to the West Coast in June and July.

My unvisited map as of today. Red dots are open superchargers that I have yet to visit. Green dots have not been visited by any competitor yet. Grey dots are superchargers where I have pulled power.

Yes. It's a just-for-fun competition. It's a great way to get out on the road and go to places you'd never otherwise go. I particularly like routes that keep me off the interstate and take me through small rural towns and country roads. @bobkart pointed to the instructions for joining the...

Tons of highway driving helps. They are not close to the wear bars yet. My first year with the X (and partial year with my outgoing S).

Looking into the Hankooks. There is a shop just down the road that sells them. Their website touts their efficiency as a key feature. Has anyone seen a reputable review of them?

Great info. Thanks. I had no idea about the TeslaFi functionality described above. Very neat. I'll leverage that when I get the new tires. Still unsure what to do. We have the CrossClimate's on my wife's 2013 Volt and have been quite happy with them, but the efficiency hit is something I need...

Going on a long-duration road trip this summer and plan to proactively replace my original tires, which already have 37k on them. Of course, I can always go with another set of the OEM tires from Tesla, but I'm curious if anyone has other recommendations for quiet tires with good all-season...

It's not just a personal best. It is a competition best. Congratulations. How many hours did that take you? What was your strategy?

Enthusiasm warranted. The other commenter's point was that using "historic" was a bit hyperbolic. The first six supercharger locations were historic. The first time we could drive coast to coast via the supercharger network was historic. The opening of the supercharger network to other EVs...

Nice trip. You can't count Mailibu unless you pulled power. The ring must go green. Our general rule of thumb is to add 1 kWh or more, but the criteria is to register a charge.

Has anyone confirmed it is live? It is not yet showing on the Tesla app, and that typically happens very quickly these days.

There is no sign-up. Randy created a second supercharging.life account to track his visits associated with competing for the Tesla competition. All Tesla needs you to do is charge at superchargers. They will do the rest of the compilation and tallying behind the scenes.

Welcome! Lots of us travel in that geographic area, and we often coordinate on visits, especially for locations that have just come online. Most of us enjoy the opportunity to meet-up when our paths cross.

Don't hesitate to ping if it isn't updated. It is very simple to do, as I've automated much of the process. The factors that determine the time it takes are my Internet bandwidth to download the data from SCL and the CPU processing power on whatever device I'm using.

I just updated it a few minutes ago. It is a fully manual process. I try to do it daily, but sometimes it slips through the cracks.

Please welcome @Puma2020 to our little game. He's completed the import of his existing visits to supercharging.life.

Toronto is not that cold. It is not as far north as many people suspect. Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Burlington, VT, Bangor, ME, and Spokane are all at higher latitudes. L1, Superchargers, and DCFC is all I've ever had since we bought our first PHEV in 2013 and my first Tesla in 2016...

I'm am working hard to install L2 charging at my association because L1 is inot deal. I'm just surprised by how much commenters on this thread are trying to talk this guy out of his purchase because he might have to use L1 for awhile. He said that there is L3 charging reasonably close if he...

It all depends on his daily commute.

Don't let others get you down about L1 charging. Unless you're driving 100 miles a day, you can make it work. You can get about 40 miles per night. We've been using an L1 for over ten years. It isn't glamorous, and it isn't the ideal option, but it works. Our outlet is on a shared circuit...

Here are the images from his tweet for easier accessibility Location 3714 Roswell Rd Atlanta, GA 30342 Panera and Dunkin Donuts - two business that are often associated with supercharger sites!

The blurring of time and space is real on long road trips collecting superchargers. After a few weeks on the road, I can barely remember what state I am in, let alone which superchargers I've visited.

You mean Don (me) at the Springfield supercharger. ;)

There are a ton of superchargers at Targets.
