Mountain & Southwest

Page is a planned community in Northern Arizona with a population of about 7,500 residents, but tens of thousands of tourists each year visit nearby venues including Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon, Colorado River Rafting, Canyon Country, and the Navajo Nation. When completed in 2016 the...

Called the Planning office in Winnemucca and the Tesla Supercharger location has been approved. The location is on West Winnemucca Blvd, behind the Chevron station. Gotta love those city employees in small towns. :biggrin:

I'm looking for recommendations on places around Scottsdale that do window tinting and paint protection. I moved my MS down here a year ago from Washington has broken me. Kids complain about the sun in the back.. I mean if you can't see your video game, the world is over, right? And the...

Hello from Audie - For those in the dark, earlier this evening I sent out a kind of an SOS to as many names in Tucson as I could dig up at short notice. I tossed out PMs left and right, as I had made a Rather Bad Series of mistakes regarding distances and times and charging cables and...

I wanted to bring attention to a Tesla story tonight. Saw a commercial for Ch 5 news tonight. One of their reporters is doing a story about Tesla after the show Scorpion. They named the segment, Tesla Hotel. Sort of a twist on what normally is covered by a car review.

Just creating a thread for Elko, NV. We have heard one report that it is already under construction. By Dennys, 2405 Mountain City Highway Elko, NV Superchargers

It “appears” that Kayenta is on the map for a Supercharger in 2016. If you’re going to visit the amazing scenery that is Monument Valley, it’s likely you’re going through Kayenta. It’s a town within the Navajo Nation that has about 5,000 people, a couple of hotels, a hardware store, several...

Three of the most conservative state representatives in the Arizona House are sponsoring HB-2216 that would allow direct sales of Teslas in Arizona. One of the sponsors is chair of the House Commerce Committee that would, no doubt, hear the bill if it moves forward. Interesting development.

The placement of a Supercharger near Globe, AZ is a great idea! While many of us struggle to determine exactly where the superchargers will be based on the 2016 Tesla Supercharger Map, it's gotta be close to Globe. For those who don't know, Globe has a rich history as a mining town and was on...

Tucson - The "old Pueblo" is getting a Supercharger. It appears pretty clear that the 2016 Tesla Supercharger Map has a location within or near Tucson. That's great news in that it opens up a lot of southern Arizona, but kinda odd that it's only 70 miles to the SpC in Casa Grande and just 46...

Here is an overlay of a Google Maps image with the new Tesla 2015 Map. For related discussion, see I-40 — Marching Towards OKC It looks like we will see new Superchargers in Pueblo, CO, Trinidad, CO, Las Vegas, NM, Grants, NM, Albuquerque, NM, Santa Rosa, NM, and Tucumcari, NM. Of those...

The last Arizona Supercharger planned for 2015 appears slated for Heber if you overlay the Tesla Supercharger Map with a map of Arizona. Yeah . . . Herber! It’s a great little town, complete with a 4th of July parade, beautiful scenery & family-oriented people, BUT it’s also just 45 miles from...

No . . . Tesla does not appear to have a planned supercharger anywhere near Benson, Arizona on any map that they have released to the public, but many in the Arizona Tesla community believe that it’s absolutely necessary. We currently have a Supercharger in Casa Grande and there appears to be a...

Anyone up around Flagstaff today? I'm looking at driving up tomorrow and was wondering how 17 is. From the AZDOT site it looks fine, some ice and snow but no big deal. Any first hand accounts?

It would be nice for long distance travelers to get I80 across Nevada finished. The SuperChargers site shows one in/near Reno (maybe it's in Carson City) and a permit for one in West Wendover (on the opposite side of the state). Anyone know anything about this stretch and SuperCharger sites?

Andy (ahm) in Tucson has suggested a meet-up at about 2pm at the SCS in Casa Grande on January 31 for Arizona owners. I'm supportive of the idea, but would encourage some discussion about what we might do together beyond a quick charge and a burger at Culvers. Is there an interest in a...

A subscriber to the North Texas Tesla mailing list has an email confirming a Denton, TX location and an Ardmore, OK location "coming in the first two months of 2015."

Had a fun day today.. drove from Scottsdale to Flagstaff for some early season skiing. Upon getting back to my car in the mid afternoon I am greeted with the "12v battery" low message, and other messages saying the car needs service and is not driveable. Lovely. I gave Tesla a call and all...

http://www.westwendovercity.com/ Tesla Motors, Inc., has received their approval and permit for construction of a Super Charging Station in West Wendover, which will be located adjacent and east of the Wendover Chevron on Wendover Boulevard near Interstate 80 Exit 410. The project includes 6...

Now that ski season is upon us I made the trek from Phoenix (well Scottsdale) to Telluride. I didn't take any notes and evtrippllaner.com isn't loading at the moment but I did want to share that the trip is totally doable without too much stress. On the way there I went...

I am starting to plan for our Model X and as part of this, we installed solar at the house. We over-sized the installation to allow for the extra draw of the Tesla. We collected about 10 month's worth of usage numbers which is giving us a better idea of the actual overage we have. (we are still...

There are frequent Model S parkers that park in the Scottsdale Quarter EV parking spots that habitually occupy them without plugging in. It may be one individual, but I haven't checked the plates yet. It's always a white Model S. Please, if any EV drivers do not plan on plugging in, park in a...

A friend of mine was talking to the Tooele County commissioner today, who was very excited that they are getting a Tesla Supercharger soon.

I've got good news for those who navigate between Phoenix and Las Vegas, or otherwise pass through Wickenburg: In the past 24 hours (perhaps as long ago as Thu. 13th), there now is 3G service at least between downtown W'burg north on 93 to at least one mile beyond the 93-89 divergence fork...

Having lived in Colorado for 25 years I've done my share of snow removal from cars - but I've scratched cars before too. I've even scratched windshields. Any devices you guys keep in your Teslas or other nice cars to remove snow without damaging the car?

The AZ Tesla Motors Club is one the the largest groups on TMC and more active than most of the clubs. It is perhaps surprising that Tesla has so much owner support in a state that bans direct Tesla sales. Our club has sponsored a few meet & greets, done a few trips, have had some online...

Very fun drive along I70 to get to this Supercharger. It's a bit of a drive to get back on the highway, taking you through downtown Glenwood Springs I would guess. It is a neat little downtown, and is worth the stop after Supercharging. I didn't walk around much during this Supercharge as it...

Another Supercharger we visited last week, and I didn't see much on the forum about it so I figured I'd add some pictures and info. It's a very sleepy town. The Supercharger is located in a motel parking lot. The guy at the desk was pretty nice, letting us use the restrooms even though we...

I didn't see any information on the forum about this Supercharger, nor a link on the Supercharger.info page, so I thought I would start one. The Supercharger is in the parking lot of a nice mall, but also in the middle of a travel trailer lot. It's kind of unusual, but you have to drive...

I've just ordered my S so I've got a few months but I know I want a clear bra on the car as every vehicle I've ever owned has been plagued by chips on the front. What's a good price? And recommended places? Perhaps if we got enough people interested we could work out a group buy discount, I'd...

Station Park is an outdoor shopping, dinning, entertainment destination about 18 miles north of Salt Lake City. One of the companies there, Pluralsight, installed a couple free public HPWCs operating at 80 AMPs (on three phase power, so the voltage is 208 to start with). They are listed on the...

Winter is coming, and I am a first time owner of a Model S. I just bought some X-Ice tires on tirerack and was wondering where everyone in the Salt Lake Valley goes to have their winter tires swapped out? Please describe your experience and if you would recommend them again to work on your...

Headed to Colorado Springs this weekend and while I don't absolutely need to charge over night, it would make things a lot easier. Anyone know of hotels that offer charging in the area or at least hotels near EV charging stations that are open overnight? I have an MS60 and will be supercharging...

I am from the Mid-West, but I was looking at the possibility of driving my S home rather than having it delivered. I found the void between Reno and SLC on Plugshare....this being the land of the Gigafactory to boot. Not one plug to share for over 500 miles of interstate?! Has anyone from...

My family often drives from the Phoenix area to Salt Lake City, but we hate going through Vegas. In our ICE we've always gone through Flagstaff -> Jacob Lake or Page -> Kanab -> Beaver. I for one would love to see a HPWC in Jacob Lake, or even a supercharger in Page or Kanab. Am I the only one...

Looks like there isn't a thread for Reno owners. Considering Sparks is gaining the Gigafactory I think a thread for the area would be nice. How many owners are out there? I'll be heading there at some point on a road trip. Send me a PM if you want to get a group together for dinner. Also, if...

There appears to be credible evidence of the location for the Denver Supercharger from krudy at Denver Supercharger ? - Page 3 at The Hampton Inn, 4310 Airport Way, Denver CO 80239. This find by krudy was also noticed by emupilot at Tesla Supercharger network - Page 543 Hopefully, we will see...

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a new Model S, but I have concerns about getting a charging station installed. My Tucson house is older (built 1969, and the primary breaker box is a looong way (150+ ft) from the garage. I don't know the rated service capacity of the breaker box. I'd prefer a...

Hi TM community, Can someone help me find anyone around the Denver, CO area that owns, or has a contact for a TESLA MODEL S? I'm seeking one for a University Marketing Project I have on the evening of Aug. 26th. I just need it for show - maybe an hour. PLEASE.. The CO Tesla store cannot assist...

Experience Model S with Earth Auto Leasing | Events | Tesla Motors

Northern California has probably the highest concentration of Model S owners of anywhere in the country, and maybe the world, and yet we cannot go directly East across the country (on route 80 or 50) due to the lack of superchargers in Nevada. It looks like very few (maybe 3?) would be required...

Am interested in finding other owners in the Lone Tree, Co area to get together talk Tesla.

I would like to hear from anyone who has driven Colorado 550 between Farmington, NM and Grand Junction, CO (both directions). I'm considering a trip in early September from Tucson to Fort Collins. EV Trip Planner routes me this way traveling north and then through UT on the return. I know there...

You're Invited! Rolf and Martina Lohr have planned an August 16 trip to Kingman for the "Route 66 Festival" via our relatively new Superchanger in Wickenburg (155 N Tegner 85390). The plan is to meet together at 10AM and convoy from the Wickenburg SpC. You'll probably want to 'top off'...

I just spoke to Mario @ MAD Detailing regarding the group buy prospect that I discussed with some of you recently. He said the average person has spent $1800-$2000 on the OptiCoat, plus everything that goes along with making the car look flawless. What we agreed upon was minimum 10+ cars in...
