Evtripplanner Down?

[stickybit]

It's still down, hope it will be back tuesday. I also was planning a trip and just wanted to log in to print the details and look at an alternative route.
It's strange we rely on a site hosted by just one person... I think he has a great product!

Hello All -

I sent an email and here's the response just in from Ben, our young hero of the evtripplanner site:

"The site is down, sorry. I'm working on it now but it probably won't be back until Tuesday.

Thanks for you patience,
Ben.."

Thanks for the update. I hope it is up soon!

It's Ben, creator of EVTripPlanner here. Sorry about the downtime. My internet provider is having unexpected downtime, and a repair guy can't get out to fix it until Tuesday. I'm working on transitioning to other hosting options, but some data essential to EVTripPlanner is stuck at the server and I can't access it for the same reason you can't. Hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow and everyone can go back to planning trips in peace.

Another vote for the usefulness of this tool. I really appreciate you making it available and am happy to contribute for your efforts and its on-going maintenance.

It really helps when looking at various options BEFORE getting on the road. Once underway, the Tesla nav can get you between superchargers, even multiple ones, although it remains woefully optimistic about range and charge times. But your web app allows for real overall trip planning before getting in the car-a huge help.

Thanks again..

How has Tesla not hired the guy who made the site? Seems to work way better than their native range estimating on trips.

BTW, Ben, a mobile version of this could be a good way for you to make some money from this tool.

Thanks for the site and effort Ben! I use this all the time to plan road trips, it's exceedingly accurate. I'm partner/owner of an IT company, if there's anything I can do to help let me know.

Also if you want to build a mobile app for this I'm happy to help.

Count me in for helping on a mobile app as well.

Ben: Any thoughts on making it Model X friendly now that these are starting to appear en mass?

 

[jbcarioca]

It makes me very happy to read the offers here. I contributed to Ben's college fund, but have no technical resources to otherwise help.

I am in the middle of a three-week-long trip now. The absence of EV Trip Planner makes me realize how dependent I have become.

The mobile app would be glorious! In the meantime it is Tuesday somImhope it foes come back up,today.

 

[internauts]

Thank you Ben, for this valuable and smart tool. I look forward to the mobile app. I have contributed twice before and will again.

 

[ElectricTundra]

Ben, just want to add my thanks for such a great tool.

Hi Ben--

Thanks for providing such a valuable resource to the Tesla community! Please let us all know if you need any assistance or resources, there are many of us here on TMC (and elsewhere I suspect) who would be happy to help out in any way we can.

Bruce.

Hey guys. If you haven't already seen my app in the other thread check it out...

I am adding an update in around 1.5 weeks for this exact feature in mobile. The web service is already done and calculates routes with Superchargers along the way... Same as the car does now. I wouldn't have chimed in if the web service wasn't already done.

Which exact feature? Including the energy effect of elevation changes?

 

[Ben Hannel]

The words of appreciation and kind offers from all of you remind me why I work on EVTripPlanner. Fortunately, it is back up now. If you're still not getting access, clear your DNS cache, or wait ten minutes or so.

 

[David C.]

Just donated. Can't tell you how much I enjoy the site!

How has Tesla not hired the guy who made the site?

Because the "guy" is a young man who is still in school. He'll have his pick of careers when he's done I bet

Thanks, Ben!

 

[mikeash]

Ben, thanks for all your work on this. This is clearly a case where I don't truly appreciate something until it's gone!
