Supercharger - McDermitt, NV

[pkodali]

Anyone know of plans to put one in Jordan Valley? Seems like the logical next splitter

Great news!

My friend who is going on the trip who needs to use this location is still paranoid and doesn't believe this location is open, despite my sending him screen shots and pictures and links and the fact that the pin is on the map. Navigation routing from the car still won't use it. I've seen that delayed sometimes, but he still thinks that means it's not turned on. Can someone report here when you actually use it?

Tesla's twitter feed had a picture of cars charging so I would guess that's pretty official.


Tabot Tietjen's post has a copy of it.

He didn't believe that one, because it just shows cars parked next to it, and he said that the white car is the Tesla technician still working on it, so that may have still been in progress. The other car you can't see if it's plugged in or not. He's being way too cautious with it I think.

Um, if it shows up in the car's nav, then it's live, period.

That's the problem, it's not showing in the in-car nav (at least not on mine).

You can lead a horse Tesla to water a supercharger, but you can't make them drink charge...

Aha okay. It is on the Tesla "find us" website.

 

[Big Earl]

It's showing up in my app but not yet in the car. This is pretty common. I wouldn't hesitate to make the trip, but if he's concerned about it, perhaps he should take the long way.

Oh, and funny other note, he did get the CCS retrofit onto his car and got the adapter so there's a fallback plan, so he went to a local Electrify America station to test it out, but it was giving errors and couldn't activate, so...yay? Wouldn't expect anything less, right?

Tesla doesn’t post it on their official charging twitter unless it’s live. The people who commission the site (literally turn it on) take a picture then send it to someone to post on twitter.

Cars take time to automatically route to new sites. Find it in the app and send it to the car through the app.

Congratulations and thanks for the confirmation. This just made the CA to ID route much more palatable. Thanks to all who lobbied all these years for a supercharger between Winnemucca and Boise, voted for McDermitt, NV and thanks to Tesla Energy for listening and executing on it. I’ll be using it this week as well. Heading to a Tesla Owners Club event in SLO. Should be fun.

I noticed this location is on the Tesla Find Me map, but it will not route to it using the Tesla Go Anywhere website route planner… Hopefully they will fix that and if it’s not on car nav they need to add it! So exciting to have this.

That was the last one. The lower 48 states are connected now!

This is amazing news. I mean they were before but you had to take a detour through Elko to charge but now it’s direct.

Are there really no other long stretch areas without chargers. This is amazing. You guys in Boise can now drive to Tesla Takeover Saturday.

 

[Tabot Tietjen]

I still have to take a 2 hour detour to get to Vegas bit it's connected I guess. It's still a struggle to go to McCall or Ketchum

Try driving to Missoula from Boise via McCall...

Northeast Nevada to Vegas on 93 needs Ely. But to Rocky’s point, state to state is connected, there are some long stretches in state on lesser routes but it’s getting better.
