I did the same thing in late summer 2016. Stopped at the casino for about a 45-minute charge, had a cocktail, and walked out with about $15 more than I came in.

I’m about to make this drive this morning finally. Too bad the SCs aren’t there yet. I’m wondering if there is an issue at McDermitt that I can even make the next ones in Orvada….. thoughts?
Friend of mine used McDermitt with the app yesterday no issues. But, yeah, watch your speed. You most likely can make the next one. Set Orvada as your destination and the car's software will tell you if you need to slow down.

I did it. Charged at shell recharge no issues just slow 43kw!
I wonder when the Superchargers will be ready. I saw them sitting there. I w8nder I’d they’ll pave the lot also.
I had 23 percent at McDermitt…. Was really slow at 43kw. Took 50 mins to charge but it did it.

You did 23 to 70%? Nice thing about slower speed chargers is there is no taper.

The Supercharger is still not up, and on the Tesla find me page now it just says 2023 with no quarter
Does anyone know if this is up and running or have a guess when it will be working?

If it is up and running it will appear on the map in the app within a day or two of commissioning.

We really need this Superchsrger asap. It’s one of the only routes in the country that connects importsnt places like Boise and SoCal you can’t make on one EV charge. Hurry please!

I did the drive from Boise and was literally scared the entire time til McDemitt that the Shell Recharge CCS wouldn’t work. Once I was there it took 40. In’s to charge.
it just shows how important the Tesla Supercharger network is. I never ever think twice about it not working. I’ve never had to worry about it and there are always enough units that if something g it out others will work. Plus updates are live in the car and app.
so I’m looking forward to seeing this ping on so if I make this drive again it will be worry free!

I drove through on the 14th and no changes. I stopped briefly to top off at the shell charger, just used the credit card reader. As it turned out, my car would have made it to my home without charging, but it was nice having a little bit of insurance. I will be driving this route again next week and see if there are any changes.
This is funny timing. On Sunday this past weekend, a friend of mine here in Boise texted me, asking if he could borrow my CHAdeMO adapter, because he was going to have to make a trip down to California. I told him that was a funny thing, because I do own one but don't have it right now, because it is lent out to someone in another state, so I can't get it on short notice.
So we started talking about alternatives, like out of the way longer routes. Neither of his Teslas is new enough to already have CCS compatibility, and he hadn't gotten the CCS retrofit yet, so he was going to call the Boise service center to see if he could get one of his cars retrofitted soon enough before his trip. I just texted him from seeing this go live, and he said it was in time, since he hadn't left yet. Sweet.
