There are already superchargers on other reservations around the country so it’s not like this is the first paving the way. I also believe there is at least one delivery center on reservations in states that wouldn’t allow Teslas direct sales model.
In New Mexico there are at least 2. I would have visited the one on the north side of Santa Fe when I cruised by, but it was after hours.
Yea, for those of us that tow trailers the 4 Corners area is very desolate.
I'd say there's pretty much zero chance of it being open by then. You need to plan some alternatives.
We were in the area yesterday.
ABRP says I can make it direct if I drive slow the alternative is to go through bluff Utah and use a CCS charger
So, about 230 miles with some elevation gain. I think you'll be fine as long as you keep your speeds around the speed limit. I'd spend the extra time to charge up to 99 or 100 percent in Page to be on the safe side. And I assume you have somewhere to charge in Mesa Verde lined up.
I have found ABRP to be overly optimistic but I haven’t tried dialing it in with the various settings.
Something similar happened to me on the way from Poncha Springs, CO, to Santa Fe, NM (before the Alamosa Supercharger went live). I had Santa Fe set as the destination in Navigation, and the car kept trying to get me to go to Trinidad, but I just laughed. I ended the navigation trip until I was past the point of no return, then re-entered Santa Fe and it didn't try silly stuff again. This shows Tesla really *really* doesn't want you to run out of juice and end up in the desert and die.
Yeah the nav doesn't know about CCS chargers I will just put bluff as my destination
of joy here in Flagstaff!
Just looking at the hight of the pedestals in comparison to the charger stack, they look to be V4.
You can see white at the bottom of some of the pedestals. So pretty sure they’re V3 (v4 are black at the bottom).
Yea, I see that, now that I look closer, you can also see the silver side posts of a V3 in the pics. OK, nevermind
