Anyway, there has been a development on the Moab Supercharger: the parking lot was repainted and the Tesla spaces are clearly marked:Sunday November 13 at 11 AM:
A hotel employee was interested in Tesla — usual questions — and mentioned that the black Escalade belonged to another hotel employee. He then went to ask him to move it. I was only there for about fifteen minutes (enough to get me to Dead Horse Point State Park and back if it turned out that I couldn't charge at my campsite for some reason). During that time the other Model S finished charging and left. The red Eclipse owners were hotel guests and packed up and left. The employee came and moved his Escalade. By the time I left, all of the Superchargers were open again.
By the way, all the campsites at Dead Horse Point State Park have RV pedestals with 14-50 outlets:
Something weird about these chargers, that's pretty much my experience here. I try and plan my trips around charging as little as possible here. I don't understand why there hasn't been effort to expand or add a second charger in or near Moab.No ICEing issues yet for me on this trip.
But charging has been very slow, even with preconditioned battery at 20% SOC.
The highest rate I or any of the others charging concurrently got was 56 kWh.
Admittedly, temps have been in upper 30s and lower 40s.
I've charged at Moab a dozen times. Only once have I seen it full and never have I seen a line. Big difference between Moab and places on major travel routes, such as Gallup NM or Beaver UT.Something weird about these chargers, that's pretty much my experience here.

I would expect Moab to be very crowded later this year when things open up. Perhaps people are hesitant enough to travel right now (early peak season), but I doubt they will be for the fall peak season. And it's not as if the town is dead during the heat of summer.I've charged at Moab a dozen times. Only once have I seen it full and never have I seen a line.

My S-60 is so slow charging that I can't judge charging speeds.Any idea whether the upgrade led to improved charging rates?
As I reported earlier, nobody I saw got rates better than 56kWh.
(I first typed "north of" and then realized that thinking of north as up is so parochial )
I agree totally. Local mountainous terrain vs globe-level "up-down direction" can be very different!My S-60 is so slow charging that I can't judge charging speeds.
Took me an hour and a half to get enough charge to make it home, with careful driving, which is typical. (My car is down to 162 RM at 100%. Long trip legs with significant elevation gain are difficult.)
I try to think of "up" and "down" in terms of elevation. So, I go "down" to Montrose or Grand Junction, even though both are north of me. Does take a different mindset from the "north is up and south is down" map convention!
