At the South Salt Lake SuperCharger. Looks like my inverter may have bit the dust, but hopefully I have enough power in my laptop to copy the cards to the drive I'm moving the video to.

What do you mean, your "inverter may have bit the dust"? Do you mean the hardware that lets the car charge on AC power? That sounds bad. But how did you figure that out while supercharging which is DC direct?
Or do you mean that the USB charge ports in the car are no longer supplying power?

That is so true. Yesterday I drove from Southern California to Zion in Utah. Headwinds and cold meant that I was averaging over 400wHm between Primm NV and St. George UT. From Barstow CA to Primm NV I averaged close to 500wHm. And the Tesla onboard nav did not accurately predict such high energy usage. I knew it wouldn't, and charged to a much higher level than the nav said I would need. Glad I did.
I mean I have an inverter that plugs into the 12V jack and let's me charge my laptop. Had it long before I got this car.

As rhythm raced inside, the ship came alive
In Tremonton, UT.
As far as how cold it has been, lowest we saw was -19°F between Price and South Salt Lake. It has warmed up to around 14°F now.

In Twin Falls, ID. It is cold. I braved the cold to look at the Snake River near the SuperCharger.
Leaving Boise, starting to think about stopping for the night. Snow expected in Cascades and pass seems slow.
In Baker City, OR. Remember how I said the plowing might become a problem with reaching the charger cable. Well it is a problem now.
Ended up moving to a different slot that wasn't buried so bad. Wife commented that something might be wrong with it since it had a blue sticker on the cord. Turns out it still had the protective cover over the metal.

It was pretty close to a 24 hour run for the last leg. We traded off. Probably should have just stopped last night but the call of home was too great.
Appreciate your very interesting trip log, thanks for taking the time. Your data will be a big contribution to understanding cold weather travel.
Thanks!
Here's a little bit earlier and a little bit later than that one. I kind of liked the color reflection:
