FFS. Ok since people can't bring themselves to read a full conversation and want to just pull random snippets out to suit their agendas. I'll refresh your short term amnesia of why we're talking about this.
Conversation summary:
IDax: Ellensburg is a critical Supercharger and its unavailability causes pain.
PLUS EV: You're wrong, It's easy to skip Ellensburg.
Me: Not if you are going to Walla Walla and back.
Chorus: Just drive 30 minutes out of your way and use Kennewick.
Yes you could stop in Kennewick but 15 minutes off the highway and 15 minutes back to the highway adds 30 minutes to a 4 hour trip. That's a huge diversion when Ellensburg is the "correct" charging stop. So PLUS EV is wrong, it's not "easy" to skip Ellensburg if you are going to Walla Walla and back without an overnight destination charger. And Walla Walla is one of the most popular destinations in eastern Washington.
TL;DR; IDax is right, Ellensburg is an important supercharger to many routes and Cle Elum is not a usable substitute unless you somehow consider a 30 minute diversion convenient.
