There's no point in guessing really. Covid, or any number of things that have delayed other superchargers (utility, contractor, bureaucratic red tape, etc.). I will say that it will be nice to skip Twin Falls. It's a lovely location near the bridge, but I've been there quite a few times and I'm not a fan of the detour.So if you had to guess, what do you think the hold up is on finishing this site ?
It is a 6 mile round trip off the freeway in Twin so I get that. It’s 160 miles though from the Boise SC to this location so unless you have about 300 miles of range when you leave, especially in the winter, that’s a big hop to make.There's no point in guessing really.

I wouldn’t hold your breath bud. No movement since the construction phase apparently wrapped up. If you’ve got a CHAdeMO adapter though there’s a charger by the Wayside in Heyburn that’s not too bad to give you some buffer. Just top off in Twin, in this weather you shouldn’t have to go 60. I’ve got a 60D X and it’s a lot easier to do in the summer. Go 60 up the hills, draft a semi going 73 the rest of the timeWatching this thread with interest! Taking my S60 from Seattle to SLC on June 5-6 and desperately hoping this stop keeps me from having to drive 60mph from Twin Falls to Tremonton!
Thanks for the reassurance. I'm going mostly on what "A Better Routeplanner" says plus reading every trip report I can on that leg. I do plan to top off at Twin Falls and start conservatively, playing it by ear. Don't have CHAdeMO but I figure I can patronize the restaurant at the Fairfield destination charger in Burley if I want a little extra cushion.Just top off in Twin, in this weather you shouldn’t have to go 60.
That is a brutal leg in an S60. I remember even having to slow down with a fully charged S90 on one of my first Tesla road trips. But that was mid-winter 0F and going 90mph through more than half of the leg before I realized I should slow down and kill the heat. I might have had a headwind too. I was a new driver and didn't pay attention to that kind of thing. This time of year, you will have warmer weather at least, but I would be nervous if it was raining hard or something. You should try to do that leg during daylight hours as well.Watching this thread with interest!

I agree that drafting would be a good idea for this leg. It's well-traveled by semis and mostly straight. I've found that I get better efficiency drafting a semi at 70mph than I do going 60mph with no drafting. And of course getting there faster is also a huge bonus!I wouldn’t hold your breath bud.

Thanks, both important pieces of information and that's about my strategy. Except instead of "slow down" it's "stop at the destination charger".I usually arrive in Tremonton with 3% to 5% remaining.
My car is down to 179 Rated Miles
Doing an overnight in Baker City at the hotel right next to the supercharger, so will leave there bright and early with full charge, so after topping off in Boise, should be early afternoon!You should try to do that leg during daylight hours as well.
No luck today, June 1st, 7pm. Will post pictures later.I would appreciate any further updates! I am headed out that way in two weeks...
As I'm headed toward SLC thru there in only 3 days with an S60, I think I'm just going to plan to stop there and patronize their restaurant. Thanks for the endorsement!Special Thanks to the Fairfield Suites Marriott in Burley ID who have 3 EXCELLENT 72A Destination chargers
The Restraunt is not at the Fairfield.Its over by the Best Western about 1/2 block of a walk. Let us know if it is open.As I'm headed toward SLC thru there in only 3 days with an S60, I think I'm just going to plan to stop there and patronize their restaurant. Thanks for the endorsement!
