I will be headed through on Monday. Last Wednesday looked similar to before except all conduit for the Tesla side has been stubbed up.

Charge to 90% in Ukiah and you can make it to Eureka (155 miles). Terrain is up and down, so it takes little bit more energy from acceleration.
My range with my camper is about 120 miles.
Lol, I can use about 235 rated in my P85... in good weather. Normally use around 220 due to traffic conditions. Of course that’s not trying for range, or with a trailer. furthest I can really do is to the Petaluma SC. This charger will be nice for a quick stop to get to Petaluma on occasion vs ukiah which takes a few minutes more to get to and from
The Laytonville SC will be so much easier to access than the Ukiah location, and will have lots of space for me to unhitch my trailer so I can charge. Really looking forward to this new Supercharger; from San Mateo I will only need to charge in Petaluma and Laytonville to get to Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
For bartering, yes.
It’s a camper. It has a large frontal area and creates drag. The range thing just requires planning like in the old days.
@PLUS EV the weight of a trailer has little impact on range (except when going uphill), it’s the increased aerodynamic drag that uses additional energy. See Model X Travel Trailer Consumption Analysis
You can continue the discussion there. Thanks.

(FYI, the specific gravity of platinum is 21.45 and the current price is $834/oz. So a million dollars worth of platinum weighs about 75 lbs and has a volume of a little over 1.5 liters. Unless it's deployed as a drogue parachute or something, it won't impact your range noticeably, although you might be able to measure it if you work at it)
I tried it on a very windy, very rainy, just barely above freezing night in my 85D from about 85% charge. By the time I got to Garberville it was obvious I wasn't going to make it, even with my best hypermileing, so I went back to Eureka. With 100% charge or better weather I might have made it, but you don't always get to choose.

Is not platinum like all precious metals weighed in pounds troy? $834(12) = $10,008. Ten grand per pound would be 100 pounds of platinum for a million bucks?
Or am I missing something with all the grains and other standards that confuse some of when trying to equate avoirdupois with troy?
Moderator note: let’s all try a bit harder to stay on topic. That includes me. Thank you.
Thank you.

I'm heading south with my trailer in the last week of the month, and was hoping to use this supercharger, but I'm guessing that it won't be ready yet (with Zextraterrestrial's report.) Sigh, "patience, old jedi. (to massacre a quote)

OR, could it be 8 x V3 chargers?, do they need substantially different transformer arrangements? Tesla is saying that all new superchargers will be V3 instead of V2 but not sure when that date would start and I'm sure they will keep installing the urban chargers so...?
The equipment shown is for a V2 traditional (non-urban) Supercharger installation. Any site that has already started permitting will be V2. The V3 equipment is so different that Tesla will have to do the site design and permitting specifically for it.
Thanks for posting those pics! I can't wait to use laytonville from the Bay area instead of Ukiah. This will get me all the way to crescent City when going up the coast. The superchargers in eureka are just too close to the highway. Easy prey for smash-and-grab when your car is usually full of goodies.

The mall in Eureka has pretty significant security whom I've seen patrolling the Tesla superchargers on a regular basis. I have not heard any reports of smash and grab at the superchargers in Eureka, but admittedly have heard of smash and grab at the winter holiday times in the mall parking lot. I would not be overly concerned about this, having frequently used this location for charging.
