So not much activity on this thread since the COVID 19 closures, but Big Bend National Park reopened August 7 so I am going to take the plunge and do a road trip.I had already decided to take the Ice Rover but after reading this incredibly helpful thread, I’ve decided to take my P90D instead and embrace the adventure! Driving from just south of Austin 400+ miles to an area I have not explored. I would never have dreamed that this would be possible In the Tesla, but you guys make it sound like a manageable and fairly benign event. I have verified that the El Cosmico chargers in Marfa are open for everyone, guests first, as the hotel is all booked up to my surprise Planning a night at the St George there and their NEMA 14-50 is operational for guests in their parking lot as of today. Taking advantage of just getting started again Cibolo Creek Ranch rates for 3 nights there after Marfa. They confirmed that both of their Destination chargers were operational as of today August 11,2020. Definitely a bucket list thing for me to see that place, even at 107 degrees. Looks like I will not have enough charge to go into the park as my battery only charges to 260 miles nominally. Anyone have any updates about charging at the park or Terilingua? I saw there was a possibility of someone’s friend doing a charger there? If not, I’ll just do the scenic drive to the area and go back to Cibolo for a night charge. Also does anyone know the charger status at the hotel Milgas in Ft Davis ? I had planned to go there if they are back on line, but won’t if there is doubt about charging there.
I can’t thank everyone enough for all the great and specific info contained in this thread.I couldn’t make the trip if you guys had not worked through the issues and local politics to put some charging out there in the badlands. I’d be burning through the dinosaurs this week if not for your very unselfish efforts.
