Supercharger - Buckeye, AZ

[kk7p]

Pulled in at 7:30 for breakfast after driving up from Tucson. Getting right at 120 kW starting charge rate. No other Model S here...

Unfortunately my morning appointment is running late so won't be making it up to Buckeye today. And Len Becker sent his regrets, as well. Guess I'll have to wait on official grand opening. Hope you all leave some electrons for me:wink:

I was arranging my day to head out there to meet y'all around 1-1:30. I still might head over to check it out, esp. If others are still able to meet. And I could go over later in the afternoon instead (as late as 3pm).

Anyone up for it?

Should arrive around 2-2:30 today from San Diego heading back to Colorado, using Yuma and Quartzsite for some quick Joules into the battery.

Ok, I can adjust to that. Will target 2:15 or so. Will let you know if i can't make it, but planning to do so.

2:30 +/- is now my best estimate.

Currently between Yuma and Quartzsite. As my daughter says, the desert lays itself bare to you; it has no green to hide behind.

I'm heading over to check it out now. Should get ther around then

 

[ZBB]

I arrived about 10 min ago. Sounds like I'll have some company!

So we ended up having an impromptu ribbon cutting this afternoon...

Jomo25 and Cottonwood were also there, along with a red Tesla (unfortunately I didn't catch his handle -- but I think he's on here too...). Nice meeting everyone!

 

[jomo25]

It was awesome meeting up with you guys! Buckeye had a busy start

 

[jomo25]

Damn you beat me by 9 seconds!

I don't know for certain, but suspect it belongs to MarkR.

Great meeting ZBB and Jomo25 at Buckeye. Great first day Supercharger Gathering!

This charge gives me six for six Superchargers in Arizona; at least for a while, I have all in AZ, CA, and NM Superchargers... :wink:

It was a wonderful drive up to Sedona from Buckeye. The Sedona Rouge Hotel in Sedona has a very nice 14-50:

So sorry we couldn't join you!!!! The combined physicians at the Mayo were having too much fun passing me the gas....and I definitely have been in no shape to be behind a wheel in the subsequent hours....

All well now.

I wish that I could claim to have been there, but it wasn't me.

Nope -- it wasn't MarkR...

Enjoying the new Buckeye supercharger this morning.... Havasu - Quartzsite - Buckeye - Scottsdale with 181 left. Nice, no-stress trip.

Thanks Tesla!!

Sorry I missed you guys! I had a busy last few days. Glad you guys are bringing some class to Buckeye!

From Len Becker on Friday...

Hi Bill,
Am thrilled the station is live! As far as a ribbon cutting, please stay tuned as we are working on a date with Tesla. It will likely be a few weeks before this is set, but will certainly let you know.
I sincerely appreciate the offer for Carl's Jr. ( I love their grilled chicken sandwiches...go figure), but will be tied up all day today. Perhaps a rain check?

Let's keep in touch on this. We should have plenty of time to get a fantastic presence on the ribbon cutting! Thanks again Bill.

Best Regards,
Len

Think I'm going to be doing a dry run for my wife on Wednesday at Buckeye. She's going to have to use it in April, by herself, so want to make sure it's clear to her. She being the one who needs help turning on the TV.:smile:

My wife and seven-year-old with Flat Stanley visited the Buckeye Supercharger this morning on their way from Phoenix to Southern CA. They did their own little unofficial ribbon-cutting.
