I drove my S90D from Twin Falls to Tremonton in January when the temp was literally 0F. I was in a hurry so I was going 10 over the speed limit which is 90mph. I charged to full which was about 285 rated miles at the time. Obviously the conditions were awful but I was still shocked that I actually had to take some preventative measures to be sure I made it. I didn't want to slow down since I was in a hurry, but I did kill the heat for a couple 15 minutes stretches. I think there is a slight downhill stretch before Tremonton so when I hit that I was fine and made it with like 20 rated miles to spare. So maybe I didn't need to kill the heat after all. But with temps around zero, I wasn't going to risk getting stranded lol.

It's not showing as up on the Tesla web site yet. I would suggest calling Roadside Assistance before leaving if you're planning on charging there to make sure it's open. Too often they're open for a day or two for some testing, but then go offline for a bit before going online permanently.
I just pulled in and it's charging me up now. It's not loaded on the cars map...but it is definitely charging me. Finally I can get into the medicine bow mountains!!!

When we left the Rawlins charger today, the Laramie charger wasn't on the map in the car. I called Tesla road service to see if Laramie was up. They said it wasn't. When we got to Laramie, we stopped just to check anyway. We were able to charge. The desk clerk at the motel said she thought they were waiting for a part, that it wasn't regulating the charge they way they wanted it to. So it's not officially on but is operating nonetheless.

Last tank of gas: March 2009
it is still not on Tesla's map so we did not count on it...but we are charging here now and it is just fine.

Charged today no issues. Not sure what the delay on making it official is.
Charged today at Larimie Supercharger. When we left Rawlins we navigated to "Supercharger Laramie" and it showed up on the map but was still grey icon. We met Patrick and his wife who were charging. They had their new Tesla S for 24 hours. They were planning on putting $1000 down on a Model 3 but ended up buying a Model S. They said that there are 3 Tesla's in Larimie.
Two days ago at Laramie there was nobody there but me, then at Model 60 showed up, driven by a couple who had bought it in Seattle a couple days earlier. They had few problems. I met them again in Salina, Kansas, still doing well as they proceed to Louisiana.
The opening of Rawlins, Laramie and Cheyenne suddenly make things practical for those who, like me, want to cruise at 90 mph or more across I-80.

Laramie is currently down. I got the news when I pulled in 
I'm staying at the hotel. Front desk says Tesla people were working on it yesterday (Thursday) and should be back working on it today (Friday). She said this is the first night that it wasn't lit up, so I guess I'm just unlucky to show up on the wrong night. I'll update this thread again with any information.

You might have to go to the KOA campground on the other side of the Highway.
@BlueShift definitely change this one back to a construction cone so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
Still no power today and no one working on the site, so there's probably a good chance it will be down all weekend or longer.
Even though I was about 95% certain it would work, I did charge extra last night at Loveland so I'm not totally screwed. The original plan was to charge enough that I could back track to Cheyenne if necessary but luckily I got distracted with something I was doing online and charged mostly to full. This means I have 132 rated miles to work with to go the 96 miles to Rawlins. Should be no problem right? Well, there's a 25mph dead-on headwind, so I'm gonna be going 25 under the speed limit with no a/c. I guess I better change into my shorts!

LOL I talked to Tesla support and he told me there was no supercharger in Laramie. I guess if it's not on the official list, it doesn't exist to them so he was obviously of no help.
Maybe it's a Chinese knock-off...
This weekend is a good time to get through Wyoming as it's still summer temps. On Monday, snow is expected!
Currently sitting at the Laramie SC. The system is dark. IT IS NOT WORKING. We charged enough in Rawlins to be able to skip it, but I sure hope nobody else gets bit by this!!!
