11/3/22. woohoo!
just 8 tho. Will probably be quiet for the next few months but once spring come around and words travel...I can imagine weekend will be busy. But we do have mariposa LIVE soon. It will help!
This location has a flat Starlink dishy! It’s probably the only way to get connectivity here.

I can attest to that. Last time we stayed there (Aug. 2019) AT&T cell reception was very bad. There was slight coverage in the Village but almost non-existent just outside the park. My understanding is that Verizon is better but I don't have any personal experience with that service.

I even managed to download the latest FSD beta while I was charging and streaming Netflix. Wasn't Elon gonna put Starlink at every Supercharger?

Yeah, I was the ONLY Supercharger Hunter that used his name instead of a nickname, and I discovered you could change it. Only been here for 5+ years under my full name

IMO I think everyone who posts on the internet should use their real name, actual photos of their true self, no multiple handles, call signs, alter egos etc. unless embedded in their post(s). I think it keeps us true, honest, credible and accountable to our true selves. …… and now back to supercharging

Were you able to use the starlink connection? Did you get a login/password somehow? How do you connect to the starlink wifi at superchargers? Is that even a thing? Would be useful at locations like El Portal where there is no cell service.

The car automatically connects when you are near, but there is no login for your phone
OK, good luck with that
Thanks for the reply! That makes sense and I didn't think to look at the car connection last time I was there but I'll be looking for that in the future
Starlink wifi "Tesla Service" did not auto connect nor did it manual connect. Need a password. Car does not have it.
No AT&T reception at all. The resort/lodge charges for wifi. $10 for 2 days, even for guests.
Bathroom is by the lobby. Like a 3 minute walk.
252kw max at 10%. I charged to 90% in my 2019 model 3 stealth. Worked great because arrived at Curry Village lot at 80-81%. Easily made it back to San Francisco with 10-12% remaining without another charge.

Woah! Didn't connect to Tesla Service?? Musta been down. What a pain, there is a serious lack of reception anywhere near that charger so StarLink is a lifesaver. I actually got an OS update to my car (probably mentioned it above) when I was there over StarLink WiFi
