I like Deming too, and you could eliminate Las Cruces (for now) if you have Deming, El Paso and say Caballo/Truth or Consequences on I-25. the legs really should be no more than about 110 miles and preferably 100 along I-10 in N.M. and TX, as the speed limit's 75 or 80, and that makes it tough for a 60 or presumably the Model 3 in some conditions, without charging to 90 or 100% and maybe dropping below 10% SoC at the end of the leg.

Nice! Thanks for the photo, and glad you have such good communication there. That looks to be right next to the lobby building, and probably where employee parking was located before. Hopefully they have provided a new, better place to park.
off topic -- that is the first time I have used Google street view and actually been able to go inside the building, room by room (in the public area). That was bizarre. How'd they drive the Google car in there??

Still needs work as of yesterday. Transformer and meter are installed. Hotel appears to be morphing into a Quality Inn.
Looks pretty much done. Maybe some fencing, since the equipment looks to be next to a walkway.
Hopefully Tesla will send someone out to commission both Junction and Ozona now...

Any opinions on whether this Supercharger opening will be delayed until the hotel remodeling is finished?
I haven't been there, so I don't know how extensive the construction or the resultant traffic might be. Maybe they would delay opening for safety/liability reasons?

If other chargers are an indication I would say no. We used a SC on our way back from Kansas City to Dallas (not sure which one) and it was at a hotel that was closed and in the middle of a massive remodel from one chain to a Marriott I believe. SC worked fine. We walked a block or two to a restaurant.
I see that the Quality Inn website seems to be allowing bookings for tonight. Expedia also lists it as a Quality Inn, but shows it has no rooms available.
Maybe the hotel is open or very close to it.

Yep. That was Joplin, MO. Probably depends on clear, safe access to the SC rather whether the adjacent construction or remodeling is done.

Thanks!
I'm very confused, though. I thought this was a BW, and they were changing it to a Quality Inn. Now I see it's Best Western. Maybe I got it backwards. I guess as long as I can charge, I'll get over it.
Edit: Very confusing. Quality Inn lists it on their website and offer me a room for tomorrow. Expedia does the same. Best Western does NOT list it.

Hi. Sorry - Its been a few weeks since we were there. I looked at my pic and the sign shows BW. We did not stay overnight there and I cannot recall, but it is probably now a Quality Inn. The new SC charger is right there in their pkg lot.

Does anyone have a recommendation for best place to pick up lunch in Ozona? Anyone been to the wagon wheel for BBQ? We have a 1 hr 10 min supercharger stop in Ozona before making the jump to Van Horn.
