Focus on this part. You're far from alone Even a MS raven performance only charges at 48A...
I think '18 was the last year they built Teslas with >48A chargers.
And... and... you get more miles per hour of charge

By the end of today Roswell should be ~done. Just waiting on the inspection and Xcel. Total cost was ~$4300 not counting the HPWCs and stanchion donated by Tesla. But this is 2 HPWCs at a full 80A and a 14-50. If we get more equipment from Tesla we can easily add up to 4 more HPWC. Though obviously if you have 3 HPWC on an 80A circuit you're getting <27A.
I have approval from the host for a site in Artesia but I need donations to catch up a bit before I do that. Please donate. If you'd rather mail me a HD gift card or something else please PM me. Let's crowdsource this lack of charging in SE NM.

Thanks! Just added another small amount to the kitty.
Got a call from the electrician. He spent the night in Roswell with friends and he's gonna finish and hopefully get the inspection today
Not that finishing sooner is really gonna matter that much since we're all gonna be on COVID lockdown soon
Now that is what friends are for, even if it is not true.And... and... you get more miles per hour of charge
^^ Nice photo !
Any chance it can be used on the GofundMe page ?
Any idea how long Xcel will take? Itching to see this on PlugShare. And Xcel took months for my PV turn-on.
@nwdiver any update on the progress? Basically I'm wondering if the McDonals'd sites in Roswell and Artesia are now live. If they're not live, do you have an updated ETA for when you think they will be? Appreciate all you're doing to service the SE NM area!
Also, I know this may be somewhat sensitive, but if they're not live where do you think you need to be on the GoFundMe amount to get them there? Thanks!
Currently sitting in my car fully charged at Santa Rosa supercharger googling how to properly get to Midland Texas.
Quite shocked at the total lack of options in west Texas / East New Mexico. Thank you for standing up and taking action. I’ll certainly make a donation as well.
Super windy, a bit cold, worried I won’t make it quite all the way to Midland SC (LR RWD Model 3). Anyone have any tips for this route? I know I can detour through Lubbock, but may just send it. #Chill mode eww
Thank you
Probably not the answer you want to hear, but I would just go through Amarillo. Adds about an hour to your trip, but it's super comfy both in terms of range, charging (all superchargers!), and roads. Also, you won't have to charge to full anywhere, which adds a lot of time to your trip anyways.Currently sitting in my car fully charged at Santa Rosa supercharger googling how to properly get to Midland Texas.

7% isn't range anxiety!Thanks for your replies! After doing a bit more research on alternate options, I couldn’t find any guaranteed options. Didn’t want to detour from the route and then fail to find charging.
I decided to just go for it. It was the most horrible drive of my life. No joke lol. BUT I MADE IT! Haha!
Left Santa Rosa at 100% and arrived in Midland with 7% battery. Just me driving w/ no passengers. About 250 lbs of luggage. Avg speed was probably 55 mph. 208 Wh/m over 312 miles. About 7 hours total drive time. Chill mode on (first time I’ve ever used it) Kept my AC off or turned very low to conserve power. Didn’t make any stops at all other than some construction stops that had me at a stand still for 15-20 minutes each. The last 2 miles I cranked the AC to the max. It was soooo hot.
Here I am in a Tesla driving through oil fields for hundreds of miles, oil workers in big trucks passing me, I’m going well under the speed limit in the 75 zones. Luckily there were very few other vehicles on this endless road. And many of them weren’t even going 75 either, roads aren’t best quality. Probably looked like a crazy person though lol.
Not uncommon for me to make long cross country road trips. I usually do a bit of research on each leg of the trip but I was in a rush to hit the road on this last minute trip. I did bring my mobile charging equipment with several adapters just in case. I’ll definitely be going an alternate way home to Utah!
Sorry for long post. My first “real” range anxiety moment since I bought my 3 in late 2018. PTSD kicking in! Deep breaths
