To/from Crested Butte: 60 miles—critical as there’s no back door outta CB in the winter when range is impacted most and Poncha Springs is beyond Monarch Pass. Very happy to see this addition.

This location makes the ParkSleepFly.com option much more viable by having a charger within a block or two of where my car might be parked during a trip out of town. (I just hope they rabbits can’t get to any of wiring ;-) Rabbits Are Disabling Cars at Denver Airport

Nooooooo! This location is adjacent to what used to be one of the better donut shops around which is now listed as “permanently closed”. On the other hand it’ll be nice being able to get a reasonably priced charge next to one of the most predatory priced gas stations in the state.

We stopped here for the first time on Nov 21st southbound and we’re able to skip Poncha Springs with this location being almost exactly halfway between our place in Colorado and Albuquerque. It might have been the only stop but we had a cold overnight in Santa Fe so thought we’d better get a...

Excellent! I have been yammering about the need for this location since 2018 and our annual Colorado to Albuquerque Thanksgiving trip. We’ll give it a spin next week.

Of course this is finally coming on line. My sister-in-law sold her home in ABQ and is moving to Denver. We won’t be using this route as much in the future. 🤦‍♂️

I’ll be buzzing through there Monday, prolly won’t be operational by then ;-) Besides, at the other SC, Der Weinerschnitzel! (Wife frowns.)

Excellent news! We, too, had been voting for this location.

Alamosa! Must! Have! Dammit!

Check out Silverthorne, Colorado: 1.3 miles. Dang close.

Yikes! Lucky for us. This time. Indeed, the spacing between Goodland to Denver is well within range but we were moving along per the ‘good-to-go’ prompt on this screen at Goodland. Our habit on this trip—4,100 miles over 17 days—was to always get ourselves a little extra charge beyond...

Heading west from Colby last Thursday with the next scheduled stop to be Limon we got an alert on the screen that said the “Supercharger on your route is out of service”. That’s it, no contingency suggestions. With no other option and the likelihood that we wouldn’t make Denver we continued...

C’mon, Tesla, ALAMOSA already! By the time (if) they ever add this my sister-in-law will have moved from ABQ to DEN. We are west of Denver and much prefer taking US-285. (Just in case, there is a ChargePoint slow-drip at the public library.)

ugh, Culver‘s. You’ll have to pry my Jamocha Shake out of my cold, dead hands. Arby’s über alles! (And at most Tesla chargers along I-70 between Denver and St. Louis. ;-)

Getting back to another salient point, the Audi Q7, its not like it’s a 1998 Ford Explorer. The OP could possibly have a setup which includes adaptive cruise control, ventilated seats, lane-guidance and safety features that I am adamant about being superior to Tesla’s—particularly with blind...

Ok, I'll play the contrarian: First, let's cancel out the "fun to drive" with the auto-pilots as those things, to me, are mutually exclusive. Maybe that's just a Colorado thing but soooo many times I've become impatient with AP on highways, especially with traffic, that I crank the wheel 'back'...

Des16, do you live in Colorado? Was the trooper a petite blond with a Kiwi accent? I got a ticket from a trooper with this description for avoiding an accident some years ago in another vehicle. A friend’s father, retired Colorado State Trooper, said she should have never issued the ticket. Too...

Great news for lowlanders heading uphill combined with the newish option In Idaho Springs. Best news for me a perfect world would be four little words, “Al-a-mo-sa”. BTW, Biggie Liquor is quite good for selections and customer service. They’ve tracked down hard to find Sardinian wine as well as...

I got one for my wife last Christmas. She loves it and says it works without issue left it in her purse. Me? I’m the guy standing in the snow outside the gym/market/restaurant/etc. fumbling to pull my phone out of my pocket to launch the app after having walked up to the car, ever hopeful, that...

Of course, opens on the day I-70 is closed from Golden to …

Stopped by yesterday on the way home from Winter Park. The lot was full of utility trucks so photos would not have revealed much. I did notice a row of skinny, fixed posts spaced approximately as one would see at other stations but only counted five. Nothing to this fact except that maybe they...

Great post, thanks. (With great additional information in the comments.) Three things to add while steering our AWD/Lr Model 3 toward its second Colorado winter garaged at 8,000 ft: 1) Stay with me on this unless you have more hair on your head than Howard Stern: Consider getting the Glass Roof...

In our small mountain community west of Denver we'll see 1-3 every time we go out. There's even a twin to our blue M3 in our remote neighborhood. We all still acknowledge one another either with a wave, peace sign or the rural single-finger wave (index, not middle). I'm assuming most all are...

Oh sweet goodness, it's next to Tommyknocker's! (Charge responsibly, kids.)

Great report, Zaxxon. Indeed, Vail Pass is far worse in the winter than the Continental Divide (Eisenhower/Johnson Tunnels). And luckily you managed to avoid all the avalanches that occurred along I-70 and other main routes a couple of weeks ago. With the weather warming and mileage estimates...

Excellent post, thanks. If I weren't so lazy I could have put down something nearly identical replacing all BMW refs with specs from my 2018 Audi A5 Sportback Prestige. Heated steering wheel, check; top camera; check, interior quality, check; and so on. A couple of differences I note: First...

I'm not the OP but can tell you that with my 'dumb' 2001 Raynor garage door opener the Tesla auto open/close setup integrated just fine.

Spinny— I wanted to pop in on this even though I skipped most of the other posts but do share similar experiences. I live in Evergreen near the Brook Forest Inn. The last four miles to my house includes 63 curves and an elevation gain of 800 ft. (Not bad but noticeable.) The road goes in and...

Here's a note I sent to [email protected] as well as Mr. Reynolds in Alamosa. (Thanks for the email link above!) Please feel free to suggest anybody else this should be forwarded to. —Phil To Whom at Tesla it may concern, We note the proposed Supercharger station in Alamosa but see no...

New owner here: if I may ask, what do you mean by 'list it'? Is there a place where this kind of this can be reported at Tesla.com; or my vehicle account page? Thanks, Phil
