Woohoo! Much sooner than I had expected, honestly. I wonder if Tesla's supercharger tech was the person who finally let the inspector into the cabinets. Permit report remains confusing- but it's turned on! And there's always the OIT charger as a back-up in case an inspection hang-fire closes it briefly. But I doubt any remaining paperwork will interfere. Klamath Falls isn't Plantation, FL
@ecarfan @Lex13 and @otter - No worries. I've been watching this thread intently as I had this March Klamath Falls weekend trip on the books for months. I was glad to be able to share the good news!
We were able to check out Crater Lake as well as the Lava Beds with no range anxiety. This area is beautiful and well worth exploring.

I'm planning on going to Crater Lk this summer. Did you use any of the Tesla destination chargers located at Crater Lk?
We drove right by the turn off to the Destination Charger. I would recommend plotting directly to the station if you need it, as we were hoping to see it on the way and it would have required getting off the main road to see the village at all. Depending on the time of year, this is what you can expect to see along the way:

used it last summer right before doing this video:
The station worked great. Also had a standard j1772. they are on 208v. Not much to do if your waiting for your car to charge. You could grab a bite to eat. I definately recommend charging up before entering the park. The very VERY steep grade to get TO the charging station, followed by a short downhill into the park, followed by some EXTREME uphill inside the park. Yes, you will get regen going down, but if the park is busy, you could be STUCK SITTING IN TRAFFIC going UPHILL which will require quite a bit of power. We gave up and left because it was so busy.
Charged here yesterday. At the supercharger, they've placed a trash can/squeegee combo just like they have at the nearby gas station. Feels like this should be standard at all superchargers, but it's very rare that I see it (Centralia has both as well).

Exactly!Those are the same people who should pay higher taxes?
Hmmm, I thought it was just some very nice local owners that provided the ones in Centralia.
I believe it continues to be a mystery, though I seem to recall someone mentioning that it was an employee of one of the factory stores.

And they don't seem to be keeping it up anymore, only one squeegee left and it's pretty rough and rainwater in the buckets when I was there week before last.
No I was talking about Klamath Falls. As we are in the Klamath Falls thread. Centralia was mentioned incidentally. And yes, I agree with the other poster that it is likely someone from one of the factory stores in Centralia.
I was able to charge here today and leave 5 stalls open while staying hitched. Nobody else showed up during my charge. This white hatched area makes it easy to pull forward without blocking ICE spots. I tried pulling into the single pull through location but the trailer blocked one of the main through ways to some degree. It appeared to annoy drivers so I figured I'd try this method. Success!
Today was my first visit to this Supercharger. I came in from Ashland and was heading north to Bend for the eclipse. I was concerned that this location would be jammed today after my experience yesterday at Mt Shasta where there were up to 6 cars waiting while we were there at around noon. But today at 12:30 at this location -- which of course has double the number of chargers that Shasta has -- there were stalls available and no waiting during the 45 minutes we were there.
And there were three white X's lined up. When I took this photo, the two chargers at the end of the row were empty.
