Most Superchargers Visited

[ZBB]

We did a trip to San Diego earlier this month, so I just updated my stats…

Here's some other stats I've kept:

• Unique Supercharger sites visited: 32
• Total Supercharger sessions: 59
• States visited: 5
• Rated Miles added via Supercharging: 6,572. That's about 17% of the total miles on my car (just under 39k miles)
• Most supercharges in 1 day: 6 on Aug 4, 2014, when we drove from Canon Beach, OR to San Jose.
• Average supercharger stop: 52 min (note -- I have a 60, which maxes out at 105KW, and we need to get into the taper zone more frequently).
• Shortest supercharger stop: 5 min. Didn't actually need to charge, but my 8 year old needed a potty break, and the Buckeye supercharger was 2-3 miles ahead… Figured it would save a couple min in Quartzsite at the next charge stop.
• Longest supercharger stop: 2 hours 5 min. We did a full range charge during our 2014 road trip from AZ to BC -- started at 32 RM, and finished at 199RM. It reached 199 RM at about 1 hour 25 min into the charge -- this was at Gilroy and all SC stalls were full when we arrived (one of 2 times I've had to wait to charge -- a whopping 2 min), but that means we did not get full capacity -- Visible Tesla stats show an initial charge was at ~22kW for about 20 min, then it ramped up to ~44KW for another 20 min, then it maxed out at ~55KW before intercepting the regular taper curve. When we had enough charge to go, there were plenty of open slots, and we wanted to visit a few more stores, so we decided to let the car stay on the Supercharger until "charging complete" was displayed...

Here's the list -- sorted by the # of times I've charged at each:

Wickenburg	5
Quartzsite	4
Buckeye	3
Cordes Junction	3
Flagstaff	3
Grants Pass	3
Indio	3
Laguna Seca	3
Burlington	2
Centralia	2
Corning	2
Gilroy	2
Mt Shasta	2
Springfield	2
Vacaville	2
Woodburn	2
Atascadero	1
Barstow	1
Buelton	1
Cabazon	1
Culver City	1
El Centro	1
Fremont	1
Gila Bend	1
Harris Ranch	1
Hawthorn	1
Kingman	1
Las Vegas	1
Rancho Cucamonga	1
San Diego (Qualcomm)	1
Tejon Ranch	1
Yuma	1

Thought: If you plugged it in yourself and it was direct battery access, then it should count. Even if it was at a Service Center or even at a private location. But if you counted the old Lone Tree temp charger already then you should not also count the permanent Lone Tree supercharger.

Seems reasonable to me. I'll keep Tysons Corner off my "official" tally since I'm not the one who plugged it in, but I've noted it in parentheses in my count and list of locations.

Moved up a few spots with 14 SCs visited now.

Added Truckee back in February.

On a trip to LA and San Diego over the July 4th weekend, added Redondo Beach, San Juan Capistrano and San Diego.

Made token visits to my local SCs Mountain View and San Mateo.

Hi,

I recently created a spreadsheet that calculates how many rated miles you will consume when driving from one supercharger to another. Because in this topic there are many people who visit lots of superchargers, I thought I will mention it here and I also need more data to fine to the algorithms. If you would like to contribute data:

1. Open this file Tesla Model S energy consumption calculator between two superchargers - Google Sheets
2. Switch to page "Survey" and fill out the data. You don't need to know kWh consumption. You can enter rated range when you left a station and rated range when you arrived at the next.

Even if you don't want to submit data, check out the "Calculator" page where you can test how good the calculator works. I think it should work much better than the built in trip planner and a little better than EVtripplanner. I don't want to distract your topic with this subject that is not directly related. So if you have any comments and feedback about accuracy, there is a topic here.

Making a big move up the leader board to 89, representing the east coast. Thought I'd be in the top 5 but looks like others have been busy as well. I may need to crack 100 in order to get to the top 5. But hey, that's something to look forward too :smile: Write-up coming soon.

I think the criteria for counting a "Supercharger visited", is that you actually plugged in and got at least a mile of range charged into your car.

I have visited two or three Superchargers under-construction and one temporary Supercharger (really long line), but could not/did not charge at any of them.
When you go back to Las Vegas, NM and Albuquerque and get that first charge, then you can count them.


ALSO: There is a WIKI page that people have been posting the number and locations of Superchargers visited.

Congrats and well done! I am at 61, so still have a couple of road trips ahead of me before I reach such exalted status.

Thanks-- it's gotten a lot tougher to hang out on the podium. Got some new blood in silver medal territory.

 

[Ugliest1]

It's gotten a lot tougher to remain in the top 10!

The rate at which SCs are being setup in Calif., many of us down here will be racking them up without having to do mega-roadtrips

Or Mountain States folks like me have to do a road trip to California and work on the Travelling Salesman Problem to hit all the California Superchargers. Then when we go home, Tesla adds more...

Put it in the list, or it didn't happen. Also, get tamman34 to teach you the secret handshake for the century club.

Drove to Cedar Point (Sandusky OH) with Liz G and beegee. Supercharged at three new locations:

37. Indianapolis IN
38. Lima OH
39. Dayton OH

On the way back, after driving several hundred miles without seeing any other Teslas, I pulled in to the Indianapolis charger to find two others charging. By the time I left, 3 more had arrived. Visually, we were almost all identical.

Well, there's that southern swing you were talking about….
I don't know why I was hoping you'd stop at 100 :smile:
I have to say that you're really making me miss the road. Congrats and travel well!

Thanks, Bill-
I was a little taken aback when I saw 130 would be necessary to even show, so my competitive juices got to flowing I'm just going one supercharger at a time--no real itinerary or tentative final count, but I have to be back to WY in a week! End goal is Marathon Key so I'm averaging over 1000 miles per day so far.
