Wow! I just planned a route in EVtripplanner from the U.P. to North Carolina and the Gaylord SC is already loaded and shows up in my itinerary!
Nice. Though I'm more a fan of this one, Tom. A Better Routeplanner

I prefer that as well but they don't have Gayloard on their yet. I did see the following on their help page so maybe they upload/update daily from supercharge.infoNice. Though I'm more a fan of this one, Tom. A Better Routeplanner
Thanks to Tesla Club Sweden for moral support, feature ideas and testing! Also thanks to supercharge.info for letting me use their Supercharger database, and uppladdning.nu, GoingElectric.de, openchargemap.org(license), and nrel.gov for letting me use their charger databases. And not the least, thanks to the fantastic OSRM team for their Open Source Routing Machine!
Gaylord SC opened just in in time for my 60th High School Reunion in Newberry, Michigan. This will likely be the first Red Model 3 to visit this City. Our Motel has Destination charger connections, so bring your own cables. Will report more details and maybe a photo or two after the visit. If you know of other charging options in the UP, report them.
Thanks for the tip about the "residential" filter on plug share. I didn't know about that and it opens up a bunch of other options.I have an outdoor nema 14-50 (220v/40a) plug at our property in Blaney Park. Not too far from Newberry but certainly out of your way. You (or anyone else) are welcome to it. Its listed on Plugshare, just make sure you have 'residential locations' checked on the website's filter to see the location on the map.
Omg it’s finally open! You have got to be kidding me!!!
I stopped yesterday and used the charger that you can pull in front ways to. Plugged in and was astounded at the speed which was 472 miles per hour. Am new to all this and did not think such speeds were possible. Anyway, there does seem to be some variability to the chargers there. Fellow with an X was charging at a much lower rate down a few chargers from where I was.Left Tallahasse FL on Sunday and now at Gaylord en route to Sault ste Marie Ontario. This is fourth year doing that and glad to finally have this charger running. I took a pic last Oct on my way back down to FL. Anyway stall 1b was giving low power so switched to 3a. More than double kW and no other cars here.

It's better to speak in terms of kW, but yes, the Model 3s can get a charge rate up to 500 rated miles/hr.I stopped yesterday and used the charger that you can pull in front ways to.

I wonder if the rain helps keep the handle cool and if that makes any difference at the 'end of the day' for overall charging speed (delay of taper). Probably not noticeable. Likely the temps dropping overall may help more if your car arrived with the battery 'cooler'.I was finally able to use the Gaylord SC yesterday! Pouring rain so I didn't take pics or anything. But, I did see brief fluctuations of 117-118 kW and got up to 366 mph of charge. Had about 18% SOC when I plugged in. That's the best that I have seen personally (although I must admit I usually don't pay much attention to it). Might as well move on to my next obsessive SC site watching.......#marsb4mackinaw.
