I'll let you know soon. I plan on using it next Sunday on my drive from LA to Phoenix and I'll post some pics. Now the million dollar question is do i stop in Blythe to get a quick charge or should i just push straight to Phoenix 241miles....I don't enjoy cutting it close, so lets hope there is no head wind

Problem with I-10 between Blythe and PHX is that the speed limit is 75 and flow of traffic around 85. Won't get close at those speeds. I wouldn't count on more 180 rated miles to make it. Hopefully next week we'll get an indication on SC sites. Pretty sure Blythe & Yuma are on the short list.I'll let you know soon.

Don't forget to add any new chargers you create of find to the Electric Cars - Charging Stations - Recargo network :wink:

Just speak with the main gas station attendant across the street and he'll hand you this key!

Can't wait to hear someone's first report of using it! I've also added it to the plug share and recargo maps so hopefully it will start getting some use soon!
Used the charger today 50-53mph 79amps@232v. Worked great. Friendly folks and very busy with people getting fuel. Updated everything on plugshare.
Thanks again Sig!

I am installing a 100 amp 240v Charger for my Tesla Model S at my business in the Inland Empire. I would love to be a stopping point for some fellow Tesla owners. But being a newbie how do I find other owners around me and where I live that are willing to share their chargers if I need a quick boost?
Where exactly in the Inland Empire would that be? It's a big area!I am installing a 100 amp 240v Charger for my Tesla Model S at my business in the Inland Empire.

It's about 225 miles from Chiriaco Summit to Scottsdale, and the Tesla Store charger, which I need to get to Tucson. That would seem to require a "Range" charge at Chiriaco. If my calculations are correct, I'd be arriving from Barstow with about 90 miles. Not sure how long a "Range" charge would take getting from 90 to 260, but pretty sure it would mean spending the night at the Motel 6 there. Would think a motel in Blythe would be better as there are over 10 motels to choose from. Can't see a way to make it in one day without a Supercharger.
Hi y'all!
Just got back from Arid Zona. Went from Napa Valley to Harris Ranch, supercharged, then to Barstow, overnight, but supercharged anyway. Thence down through Yucca Valley and through Joshua Tree Nat'l Park to Chiriaco Summit HPWC 80 amp charger to top up (2 1/2 hours to recoup the 150 miles used from Barstow), and thence to Scottsdale to stay at a hotel a couple blocks from Tesla Showroom and their free 70 amp Roadster HPC. On the way back, we generally only charged up to about 280 ideal miles since we found we would rather drive than charge (Charging really slows down the last 10 kWh). At Chiriaco we only had a 150 mile jump to Barstow, so only filled it up to about 180 after the run from Scottsdale.
I set cruise at 61 mph (true 60) and stayed in the slow lane. No drama, ever. The ones who had to do 70 had plenty of room. The trucks often were going slower and we passed them easily. At the Barstow superchargers, my trip meter said I had gotten 275 Wh/mi. And it took me less time.
So you did the 60mph on the I-10 between Scottsdale and Chiraco as well? I am very intersted in the wh/mi you achieved during this run, how you charged before and how many miles remaining.
Its an 810 mile drive the way I map it. If that took you 2 days and 3 charge stops, I say that is great!

Not trying to hijack this awesome thread. BUT :smile: Any idea if this CS100 is lockable? I'm trying to pitch the idea to our Country Club board and 80 amps for anyone would be the way to go. They want to tie it to playing a round of, golf or at least using the dining room somehow. They don't want to give up the parking space unless they get some tradeoff. A lock of some kind would probably satisfy them since I am offering to pay for the unit and maintenance after the warranty. I would also entertain ideas on how to convince them that it would work for the club.
Another route in CA that seems likely not to see Superchargers any time soon is Highway 395 up the Eastern Sierra. Lone Pine is 152 miles from the Barstow Supercharger. Allowing for the elevation change, this should just be reachable with care with the 60kWh battery. Is anyone else interested in this location?
