They need to build this one out...it’s a long time coming.Yep, we need Show Low and Springerville added to the list of AZ charging locations.
It's been imminent for several years. May turn into a decade if it doesn't go up in the next couple of yrsBumping this thread...
Kayenta is on Tesla's map as "Target opening in 2020". Curious if it's imminent, but looking at the age of this thread I'm not getting optimistic.
They are investing in expanding the Supercharger network. However, the focus is on expanding the network in places where there is high volume and the large increase in car numbers has led to long lines at existing existing Supercharger stations. Expanding the network to allow travel on secondary highways, such as US 160, has been much lower on the priority list, to put it mildly.With them posting profits now I’t would be nice to see them invest in the Supercharger network.
When one checks all of the SC sites going up all over the world, it is quite impressive (see supercharge.info). Even the US is getting a large number of new sites annually. But alas, some less traveled roads are waiting very long.With them posting profits now I’t would be nice to see them invest in the Supercharger network.
I did Blanding (95%) to Page a while back and wound up with a 25mph+ headwind (not exaggerating, it was crazy windy, reports in page were 29+). Getting to Kayenta wasn't have been too bad, but getting to Page required driving under 50mph on 65mph road. Thankfully there wasn't much traffic so I could speed up when I saw people coming up and let them pass, but still, as you said, no contingency was horrible, this in a LRAWD, SR wouldn't have made it I don't think. I think there's a KOA near Kayenta IIRC, but that's it.it's a bit terrifying to have practically zero contingency options along the way...

Not a lot of Tesla traffic down there, a bit of a chicken and egg.
I think you answered your own questionWhat route did you take? Google maps tells me 191 to 160 to 98, but you can save 5 miles (on paper anyway) by going 191 to 163 to 160 to 98 (going via Monument Valley).
And a scenic place to drive slowly and take it all in...I think you answered your own question
Given the range issue, it's hard to imagine any Tesla owner not taking the shorter route through one of the most scenic parts of the country.
I was blindly following ABRP and Tesla nav and went through Mexican Hat (not Monument Valley)What route did you take? Google maps tells me 191 to 160 to 98, but you can save 5 miles (on paper anyway) by going 191 to 163 to 160 to 98 (going via Monument Valley).
I wish, it was long after dark at this point, so that didn't help anything but cutting down the traffic (I realize you are being sarcastic, but the view I got was just the road right in front of me and the ABRP map showing me unhappy thoughts)And a scenic place to drive slowly and take it all in...
Hmm... might be elevation changes on that route causing increased consumption?I was blindly following ABRP and Tesla nav and went through Mexican Hat (not Monument Valley)
Even now, ABRP suggests that Monument Valley takes an additional 20%, which makes no sense at all.

But the Mexican Hat route is the Monument Valley route. Do you mean you went through Mexican Water? Hey, I get it - it was dark!
Not so scenic now with all the smoke in the air, sad to say.I think you answered your own question
