Supercharger - Gaylord MI

[BozieBeMe2]

Meijer is still the host, not Menards. I'm not aware of any Superchargers hosted by Menards. They simply caused the delay due to their proximity.

Opps!, my bad, my subconscious had kicked, was reading a Menards email and meant to use the word Meijers instead - Sheesh

BTW, there's really not much around this one. I mean, there is a Buffalo Wild Wings within walking distance, but you pass just about every other restaurant by a mile or so on the way here off the highway. It's not a bad location, but you'd better be in the mood for B-dubs if you're planning a lengthy stay here.

This is what we call "frontier supercharging." When you're in Lima, Montana or something, you aren't that concerned about the amenities, but rather just happy the supercharger is there.

Very true. Although, many times I've got a to-go order at a restaurant I prefer and then gone on to have a bit of a "Supercharger picnic". Helps if you BYOC (bring your own chair).

That is a great idea! And while picking up, you can hit the restroom.

Confirming no juice yet in Gaylord.

But thank God the nav system now picks up the 75 MPH speed limits.

Are the stalls numbered, did you see any work going on? Thanks for the update.

Could you elaborate on that? Since when did the nav not point out 75 MPH freeway speed limits?

Michigan recently increase the speed limit to 75 on 75, takes some time to propagate the change to the map/ nav system.

On I-75 north of the Bay City exit the speed limit is now 75mph. It took many months for our nav systems to update.

And in more alliteration, parts of M-65 are now 65 (M-72 is also 65, but not fun to say).

Not a huge deal, but makes the range estimates much more accurate.

And increases the maximum speed setting for AP, I think.

It does seem to estimate the time it will take you to arrive at your destination a bit better now that it knows the speed limit is higher (or truthfully since the last update it got better). However, you can set the AP at 90 if you want. Even in Michigan. You just need to be on the highway. Otherwise the speed is limited to 5 miles above the posted speed (or what these AP2 cars believe the posted speed is as they do not read the signs as of yet). But the highway max is still 90, regardless of what the car knows the speed limit to be.

Thanks for that clarification. Well, if anyone is going to Harrisville, It's gonna be faster in AP (assuming M-65 and M-72 were updated).

No stall numbers and no one working there when I passed through.

I was just reading some posts about the Mehlville/st. louis SC. Its listed at 45 days of construction and people were asking...... if they knew who to call to ask why it was taking so long!

Not sure if anyone noticed the change in the Tesla Supercharger Map

Last time I looked at the Map it said end of 2018

Yes thanks, but this has already been noted in Post #116 by IT Geek.
