Lucky dog. Clouds and rain in Buffalo NY. Nothing new in April -- but darn -- a million people are supposed to be here just to see the totality.

Check-in for Apr 6: Mississauga - Vega Blvd ON (1st to check-in) Caught this on a quick trip from Buffalo to Toronto. Lot's of excitement in Buffalo about Monday's full solar eclipse. I hope it just doesnt go from grey to dark grey.

Amen. I wrote to Tesla suggesting something off the 290 /Niagara Falls Blvd. Image that - I dont think they listened to me. Please build one at Teds Hot Dogs.

I was just there. Transformer pad is there - but no transformer as you can see. Don't hold your breath. This will still take awhile. I'm a bit disappointed this doesnt have easier access to I-90. Have to travel a few miles on local roads. Might not take the pressure off of...

Gee -- this new SC is really needed. We waited 15 minutes for an empty stall at Cheektowaga yesterday. We were 5th in line waiting. I may swing by Thurs am and see how it's coming along.

gee, my grandmother grew up along the Ballenger Creek Rd what it was a little dirt road in farm country. I guess that's progress?

While you lawyers have a debate, anyone else know the progress on the West Seneca charger?

Check-ins for 2-26-24 Willowick OH Cleveland - Euclid OH Shaker Heights OH Broadview Heights - Great Lakes Service Plaza OH Broadview Heights - Towpath Service Plaza OH Seville OH (FIRST TO CHECK IN) Girard OH I cleared the Greater Cleveland Area -- those of us further down the board have...

Check-Ins for 2/10/2024 Tustin Franklin Ave, CA Tustin, CA Tustin Red Hill, CA Palm Springs, CA Cathedral City, CA Feeling impure again. These were snatched with a Hertz M3 rental. (Ok, so there is a $35 charge if you bring back with less charge then when you picked it up -- but they...

Technically there is. It just happens to be in Niagara Falls Canada.

Excellent. The Cheektowaga SC is consistently booked. It's about time Buffalo has more SCs than Erie PA.

classic question: any sign of the green transformer?

I'm shod in those as well. They got to play in deep Buffalo snow more than once this year and do great. Rain too.

Check-ins for 12-29-23 (or near) Clearfield PA Reston - Sunset Hills VA Gaithersburg - Watkins Mill MD Tysons VA A few from holiday travel. I'm surprised the Tesla can move after my massive cookie consumption. You all notice the hot competition going on further down the board? Two tied...

a bit off topic - but there is a competition as part of teslamotorsclub to see who can visit the most superchargers. I seem to be the only regular person from the GTA but happy for more competition. Bonus points for the 1st to visit. See "superchargers visited".

I was there tonight. It didnt take long for this one to catch traffic. 80% full at 8pm

Check-in for 12-21-23 Vaughan - Major Mackenzie W ON (1st to check in) The locals call it the "Major Mack"

Check-in for 12-14-23 Oakville - Speers Rd ON (1st to check-in) Seems I get 1sts at many of the new Toronto SCs. Only seems fair if you consider that I mainly live in Buffalo that only has 2 -- with no plans for others (Tesla SC planners clearly aren't Bills fans). Gee, Cleveland has...

Check-ins for 12-12-23 Old Fort NC Asheville - 4 S Tunnel Rd NC Asheville - S Tunnel Rd NC Asheville NC Asheville - Thetford St NC I fell unclean again -- these are from a Hertz rental car The two Tunnel Rd SCs are on opposite side of the same parking lot. Talk about a two-fer

That is crazy impressive. I once cleared PA, MD, DE but that was mere child's play in comparison.

Check-in for 9-12-23 (Canadian Date convention): Mississauga - N. Service Rd ON -- (1st to Check-In) Most units of any SC I've been to: 32 (two sets of 12 and an 8) be safe out there

Check-in For 2023-11-23 Dansville NY This one was right on the Turkey Trot path. Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for this game - and you all. Be safe out there.

I have driven X-Ice in Buffalo on different cars for some years. Trust me, they know snow and do very well.

Yes -- and root beer couldn't be closer. Don't take a sharp right into the entrance. The curb will come out a bite your tire (voice of experience).

Check-in for Nov11 Grimsby S Service Rd, ON (1st to check-in) Canadians are loyal poppy-wearers on Veteran's Day. They had devastating losses in WWI and were right there on Normandy beaches on D-Day. Be safe out there.

I just had Michelin Cross Climate 2s installed (on 2018 MS - 245 45 R19) and have a about 500 miles on them. My prior tires were Continental DWS06 plus. First impressions: Michelins have a firmer ride and a bit better efficiency based on repeated drives on the same stretch of I-90 (NYS...

Looks like the wiring from the transformer tunnels under the Starbucks entrance road. A sign of more progress.

Is the green transformer in yet? I can't see from the photos. Looks like good progress and very welcome since Sherway Gardens is often booked (and slow).

I've had these on my S for the last 30,000 miles. Really strong performance. I believe a top pick in Consumer Reports. I live in Buffalo and they have great snow and rain performance. Good choice. Only negative indicated by Consumer Reports is higher rolling resistance...

I was just there today (14 Sep). Looks like all the Tesla equipment is ready -- but I could not locate evidence of green transformer (utility connection). But it seems that @Lanny located it on other side of entrance by starbucks? I will take a closer look next Tue when I go by

Welcome to Toronto! I hope you enjoyed the ON401. With express and collectors, it has 18 lanes in spots. I think that beats anything in LA?

Sorry - it's been so long for me, I failed to use the correct decorum. Should be "First to Check-In" I just invited some more Torontonians into this fun, so hopefully I no longer get away with waiting 10 days for a first. On the other hand, the Leafs have been waiting 56 years for the...

I was at Brampton Queen today. It's already a busy bugger. I'd say 80pct full at around noon.

Hi ElectroCat: There is actually a bit of a fun contest (well pretty serious for some) to track how many unique superchargers we've been to. We can definitely use more competitors from the GTA. You get special mention for being first to visit. See "Superchargers Visited" thread.

Apologies. Yes, this new SC will be golden.

Brampton - Queen St E, ON (1st to visit) Clearly we need more competitors in the GTA. This was was sitting there 10 days. Just back from Argentina. Not a Tesla in sight - and of course not SCs. Would be mucho expensive with the exchange rate.

The QEW is packed every day -- the key conduit of the golden triangle. The current Grimsby is my most visited supercharger. I cant say I have to wait too often -- but the occupancy factor is consistently darned high. ...and wait until Telsa allows Ford and Chevy EVs.

Once Tesla equipment is in, delays are often due to transformer install to connect to the grid. Hope that is fast in this case. thanks

I thought that might be happening. The hotel next door must be happy not to be the supercharger bathroom. I will miss Tim Hortons. Prefer it to Starbucks until they start of offer hockey cards and donuts.

appears to be EZ on-off the QEW ? I see the Cawthra exit in one of the photos. I agree with those that say Sherway is a circus --

Perhaps you got there before the bridge collapse onto I-95, closing it in both directions. What a mess that must be.

Check-in June 7: New Stanton PA Gee - I've been a slacker lately - just an occasional catch when they happen. I admire the level of dedication you put in the saddle be safe out there

Welcome to Canada. Windsor sat there a long time. Just a bridge too far for a middling hunter like me. Looks like Canada is welcoming you with some below 0 (C) temps. Be safe, eh

Check-ins for May 8: Trenton ON (first to check-in) This one has been sitting unclaimed for a bit. Need more Canadians to jump in. I've invited a few. Almost didnt make it there. I was at Tesla service this morning to get official CCS adaptor and software install for the Model S...

Check-in for 4-15 Mechanicsburg PA On the way to see family - no special hunting. Filed your tax return yet?

Check-ins 3/24 St Augustine FL Daytona Beach - Gateway N FL Daytona Beach FL Port Orange FL Managed to pick-up 18 SCs in short Florida vacation without much effort. A lot easier than hunting in Buffalo. Would have been more if I didnt take Autotrain south. (marital peace). First time at...

Check-ins 3-20/21: Kingsland GA Jacksonville - Philips FL St Augustine - Inman Rd FL Palm Coast FL St Augustine - World Commerce FL Looks like I was near @Thinkje last eve. I would have given a tip-o-the-hat had I known. be safe out there

Check-ins last few days: Ft Meyers FL Tampa N. Dale Mabry FL Tarpon Springs FL New Port Richey FL Odessa FL Land O' Lakes FL Deltona FL Jacksonville - Gate Pkwy FL All but one at a Wawa. Classic win-win. I get a bio break -- and Wawa has about $100 in incremental milkshake sales.

Well done. It was on my list for tomorrow since I'm vacationing 1.5 hrs away. Game shows who has what level of dedication.

Hi @StephenBrown2 Autotrain is booked on Amtrak.com All-in-all, a pretty good experience. Have the option of getting a reclining seat with others -- or a private room with a bed. We chose that later. Don't expect a gentle resting clickety-clack. A lot of rolling g-forces all...
