Maybe you should trade that standard range 3 in for a long range model.Yeah it looks like Tesla says you can't do it even in nice weather. This is the route it gives me
Too bad was hoping to take my Model 3 to Death Valley this winter instead of my Jeep.

Other than the fact that Death Valley is closed due to getting washed out from the hurricane (I never thought I'd be saying that
: That shouldn't be too tough. You can go either I-15 or down to I-80, then down on US-95. Plenty of good Superchargers. Should be easy in a Model 3 SR.

Long range is 333 at a full charge... Its about 60 miles more on paper but with higher speed driving that will be only about 30 miles or so more... plus it takes forever to full charge and isnt great for the battery like the LFP battery on the RWD Model 3...
I think you can make any trip through Nevada right now in any way even using a Nema 14-50 and CCS.... if you have that you sdhould be good to go through anyplace!

Is it showing in the app? It will be there within hours of it being turned on and provisioned by Tesla. If you are unfamiliar with this process, open the Tesla app, click location then zoom out and scroll the view to this location. There will be a red circle with the number of free stalls if it is online. No need to check here and post daily asking about the status.

The TMC map does not show that construction has even started and once started, usually takes at least 3 months to come online depending on the Utility. I am hoping once the CT is out, and other US oem’s start using nacs, Tesla will give more priority to remote areas like Ely. Currently, almost all SC construction is in Metro areas presumably for people without overnight charging.
You shouldn't assume this is all Tesla dragging their feet. It could be any number of things out of their hands like slow permit approval, limited power capacity, line upgrades needed, no available/qualified construction crews....

Does anyone know if there’s any fast charger that actually works in Ely?

Wasn’t offended and wasn’t trying to offend you. Just pointing out an easy way to check for status without posting to ask. As was also mentioned, the thread title doesn’t reflect “under construction” or anything of the sort. there is not even a permit found, dig ticket filed or any other status. And if you had read through the thread, you would see that there isn’t any mention of construction or pictures.

That’s just odd because they have it listed as Q3… they usually don’t estimate a quarter unti, they have all that.

Very true but it does happen. There are some examples of sites with quarters listed that haven’t started/finished construction by the quarter indicated. Also, with tsla infrastructure in Ely, there aren’t many driving through to report on any construction if there is any. I followed up with the building official asking about whether a permit has been issued or construction has started.

There seems to be no CCS or NACS infrastructure in Ely that works...
Once the supercharger is up and running I suggest we all drive there and have a little picnic party to celebrate! But it probably won't be this year.... what do you think?
I don't see it in this list from Tesla: https://www.tesla.com/findus/list/superchargers/United+States

Not there on the app. This charger has been on the “next quarter” notice for a year.
