Yep. V3s. Plus, no one has seen (or posted) any pre-fab install V4s yet.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

Chemult OR has pre-fab V4 although they are arranged as a pull through setup.

There’s prefab V4 near buffalo.

If it is posted to not trespass, they do not need to be asked to leave. Unless they can prove they have business being there, they are trespassing by entering the property. That's like saying it's not stealing if the door was left open and you take everything from someone else's car. That's...

They just recently started doing some pre-fab V4's. The Farr West UT station is an example of that.

I figured if I said no one has seen pre-fab V4s yet, someone would post some examples right away!
(3 unique examples were posted pretty quick.) Thanks.Looks like pre-fab V4s are still pretty new, just the last couple months. The Chemult OR site is really interesting; not sure if I have seen a pull-thru pre-fab site yet.
Going to the mesa Verde RV park near entrance of national park still nervous though any wind plus extra hot ac blasting may force me to detour to bluff.. ABRP says keep below 60 to make it with 10%
I just ran the Moab to page / lake Powell leg stopped in bluff went through Mexican hat beautiful drive had a tail wind and nice weather got there easily
Two things on the positive side of the ledger for your drive. Since you're going from west to east, you're much more likely to have a tail wind than a head wind, but no guarantee on that since it's weather dependent. Also, 10% on ABRP is a pretty good buffer in my experience, so I think you'll be okay. That said, there are various V2 charger options along the way, so maybe if you can time your stop with lunch at a place with a V2 charger, an hour of charging on a V2 could give you enough of a margin to be a lot more comfortable.

So that looks like the right most post on the left PSU will move over to the ada stall and the presence of an extra precast base means they might take the left most post on that same PSU and move it to be a pull in stall maybe suitable for trailers depending on where the lane of traffic is. Otherwise it is odd for there to be an extra precast base.
I have done it quite a few times. If it's a windy day I usually slow down a bit. I have a 2018 LR RWD and have lost some range (maybe 11%) which makes it a little harder than it used to be. Looking forward to the Kayenta charger!

I'm guessing another 4 to 6 weeks.
Mine is a 2018 LR RWD as well. At 100%, the gauge says I have 302 miles. You've been able to make it ok every time you do that drive? How low have it gotten you? Is there any point where you decided you need to detour to the Blanding Supercharger because you were going to run out of charge?
What about the drive from Blanding to Flagstaff in a 2017 90D model S, about 260 rated miles at 100%. I was planning on topping off or nearly on the CCS in Bluff to make it directly. Any ideas for making it in mid July? I also see there is a level 2 in Tuba city as a last resort. If Kayenta comes online by July 20th, I'm set, but not too likely.
I rode by today would have been nice stopped in bluff though free charge point diner across the street is great

You need to gain a lot of elevation to get into Flagstaff, and there can be a bad headwind after Kayenta. Bottom line is I’m too chicken.
I'm at 287 at 100% with 130k miles. I've always made it, usually with around 10%. The last time I got to Farmington with 1%...my superbottle needed to be replaced, so hoping that was the reason, it was a really cold day. Planning to try that route again in September.

In 2014 when the S85 was brand new, I did this drive. I departed Blanding with 100% and kept my speed around 55, likely pissing off a few folks who had to wait to pass me. In those days the battery indicator only displayed rated miles (266). No percentage display was available. There was a website that would estimate the rated miles between Superchargers (EVTripplanner). I used that to see that I should arrive with around 20 rated miles if I kept my speed below 60. Likewise, there was no trip graph to monitor my arrival percentage vis-a-vis the original estimate.
I kept the destination charger at Tuba City in reserve if I felt that I needed it.
When I reached Cameron I recall having about 100 rated miles remaining, so I ramped up my speed to the speed limit for that last haul into Flagstaff. I arrived with about 30 miles of range.
At least the new Supercharger on US89 is about 5-6 miles closer than the original one at the Marriott.
So, if you are daring, go ahead and leave Blanding with 100% and keep your speed low enough. The trip graph should provide ample assistance to see if you are driving at, above, or below the projected arrival percentage. I would call Tuba City to see if their charger is still working and available, though.
Good luck!
