+10 on that one! wonder if people really get just how big a deal this is!!!
When Elon was asked about the stock price, why didn't he just point to this and say, hay, what other company has single handedly providing a network of fueling stations that offers an alternative to gas, for free?
I've added the site to Foursquare.
Also, my apologies for the upside down photo; I don't know why the iPhone doesn't play well with the forum.

Man, I thought I was excited 2.5 years ago when Roadster owners covered this route with HPCs. This is way better! I too am looking for an excuse to take a trip...I have one in January, but that's too far away...

Happy owner of a P100D X and a brand new 2021 M3!
So much thanks to those who provided updates on progress and ADK for implementing such a historic innovation across the west coast! And we are going to use them all to visit grandmas in LA!!! Thanks Elon and everyone at Tesla!

I, too, am itching for a road trip! I fear mine won't be for some time as one does not stray far from home when one has a newborn.

Thank you.
I would hope to not have to use them, but nice to have just in case. Been awhile since I was down that far, but those big signs about chains and such can be intimidating.

The wife and I made our first road trip from Portland down to Eugene on Tuesday. Just wanted to share some photos and the great food and beer at Hop Valley Brewing next door to the supercharger.

When did they add these white "EV only" cones? I haven't been in Eugene in a while but every time I had been there about half the spots were ICEd - one time I had to have the hotel find an owner so I could charge (they were super helpful and were able to find the person in under 5 minutes).
That hotel has a conference center type thing that's often used for lunch meetings like rotary. There's plenty of parking but a lot of it is around the building and so people would ICE the SC spots because they're in a hurry or something. Also, unless things have changed, some of those spots allow for ICE parking for a period of time. Those spots are clearly marked as such and the other spots are also marked.
I'm glad they're taking steps to avoid the ICEing. Apparently the signs weren't enough.

Yes, Hop Valley is a solid place. It's not going to win any culinary awards but everything is better than decent. I'm a big fan of the Citrus Mistress IPA.

My parents still live in Eugene (where I grew up - I'm a Churchill (and UofO) graduate) so I was glad to see that there was a SC in Eugene. As soon as I get my S85D in March my first long trip will be from Federal Way, WA to Eugene. Having SC all the way down is going to be so helpful!

THE LONG RANGER
Is anyone concerned about the massive amount of vehicles which will descend upon Eugene/Springfield for the total solar eclipse on the 22nd of August? I will be in town for a golf tournament and am hoping that the SC spots are not filled by hotel goers and am unsure how many Tesla's will be in the area and need charging.

I'm coming for the eclipse down from Washington. Doing a family reunion over the weekend, staying in Clackamas and then after the early Monday checkout, heading South. I'll probably charge in Woodburn on my way back north late morning. I just need to find a place somewhere in Eugene to watch it.
