I am really upset and excited about this site. As happy as I am that it is going in, I am disappointed that not going to have much use of it until I get an upgraded S. I still have to stop at both Mojave and LP in order to make the climb. I guess if I get a bigger charge in Mojave, I can perhaps make Bishop, but that makes for a much longer charge in Mojave. So, I guess it depends on how much shopping I do at Stater Bros!
Once I upgrade my S, I should be able to make Bishop from West LA. I have one year left on my lease. Darn it.

OK, I'll go ahead and add 395 to my camping itinerary next year now. I love that drive.
I am assuming you have a 75D if you started the lease 2 years ago. you might still make it faster even with 3 stops now with a shorter charge at LP and a top off in Bishop
True. 75D. Can’t take advantage of the 250kW charging and max 244 range. I stopped by my local showroom today and they told me they are not working with people who want an early upgrade, especially if I have a year left. Blah!

2 stations along the OC to Mammoth route open in one week. Gonna be great! Looking forward to charging at both of them next Wednesday night.
I think I can make the trip in under 5 hours now, done it 4:45 in the ICE and 5:13 in the Tesla mostly within the law.
I hate to say this because I'm very grateful for the new chargers but can we get Kramer Junction next? That would fill in that whole route nicely.

I was there 8 days ago. All is well. There is a Mexican market with take-out right across the street.
Great spot in a great little town. Sad to see everything deserted.

I charged there yesterday and walked over to Looney Bean to grab a coffee, their house Mocha is amazing. Go check out Mountain Rambler just a block away as well. This is a great charger and many good spots within walking distance.
The new v3's on 395 are great. I drove to the Lone Pine charger in 2 hours 40 minutes and it took all of 7 minutes to charge from 67-132 rated miles. At Bishop it took 15 minutes to charge from 54 to 196 rated miles. I was actually in Bishop over an hour because I walked the 12 minutes to Schat's and then had dinner across the street at Texas BBQ. So I was fully charged at 361 rated miles when I left Bishop and will only need to charge my last evening at Mammoth.
On the return I will likely make it to the new Palmdale v3.
With Model S Raven if you're trying to get to Mammoth efficiently from the Valley or Glendale/Pasadena it will take no more than 20 minutes in charge time at Lone Pine or Lone Pine + Bishop. My old S90D required 45 minutes at Lone Pine.

Yep. My 75D takes 45 minutes each and every time to get up the hill. On my last trip, I tried to do what you did: charge at LP until the rate dropped and I had sufficient charge to get to Bishop, where I charged again. That did not work out as a time saver. The problem with my S is that it does not take advantage of the 250 kW stations. On top of that, my max charge is only 240. On the plus side, I have only 8 months left on my lease.
The the changes to TMC, I was missing several watched threads. I went back in time to make sure I was up to date, and found a thread asking about traveling from LA to Mammoth and found my response to this way back in 2013. My how things have changed:
Two more trips to Mammoth in April with charge stops in Bishop:
On 4/7-8 The Bishop charger acted like a v2, Max charge rate 139kW and a bit over 8 miles/minute.
On 4/11 I had my fastest ever v3 charge, 105 miles in 10 minutes and 209 miles in 25 minutes.
