Pics?They are live! Charging my Model 3 at 600 mi/hr right now
Nice. Thanks for reporting.They are live! Charging my Model 3 at 600 mi/hr right now
I have to disagree -- I would be surprised if more than about 20% of Tesla owners could quickly tell you off the top of their head how many miles per kWH their car gets. And not only that, but that M3 getting 200 kW is completely irrelevant to someone like me with a 2014 MS which tops out at a figure MUCH lower than that. So really, neither value is all that useful unless you know the max rate your car can charge at.Nice. Thanks for reporting.
On a separate note, it's not really useful to describe charging speeds in mi/hr when you're sharing info with other people because the value is dependent on what type of car you're driving and that car's driving efficiency (Wh/mi). So, it will only be accurate information to other people with the same model car. E.g. when charging at the same electrical power level (kW), a Model 3 will report a different number than a Model S/X/Y, etc. So, you should report charging "speeds" in kW which are the same for everyone. If anyone wants to think about their charging speed in mi/hr they can convert for themself because they'll be familiar with what a given kW level translates to for their type/model of car.
If you're talking about whether using kW or mph is a better practice, using kW is more clear. If people want to add what model and year their car is, even better.I have to disagree -- I would be surprised if more than about 20% of Tesla owners could quickly tell you off the top of their head how many miles per kWH their car gets.

A lot of people have been looking forward to this one. Lots of camping, hiking, recreation in the state park and wilderness areas out here which was hard to do with any amount of driving around. The location is a great crossroads to run to for essentials. I have a feeling the Rivian network will also have a charging station nearby!And while I'm here, could someone explain to me what a Supercharger is doing out here in the middle of nowhere in the Southern CA desert? I'm saying this because I have been endlessly frustrated waiting FOUR YEARS for a Mendocino Supercharger, which is a major destination resort, and well over 100 miles from the nearest one heading south (ie, Ukiah doesn't count). In other words, you can't drive there unless you either find a local place to charge, or have one of the newer high-range models.
You answered your question. Destinations (where people are spending the night or more) should invest in bunches of destination chargers.And while I'm here, could someone explain to me what a Supercharger is doing out here in the middle of nowhere in the Southern CA desert?

Santa Ysabel is the intersection of Hwys 78 and 79. Lots of folk heading to the desert, Palm Springs, or maybe Palomar Mountain. I actually found a use for it today. I planned on going to Borrego Springs, which I can make from home and back again, except I had to go someplace else first. By the time I got to Santa Ysabel I was already down to 50%. I'm not sure that would get me over the mountain, down to the desert and back home again. There used to be some L2 in Borrego Springs but they are all broken now and have a note on them promising future working chargers. They've been that way for a long time.And while I'm here, could someone explain to me what a Supercharger is doing out here in the middle of nowhere in the Southern CA desert?

I'd love to see a supercharger in Borrego Springs. Right now there aren't even any L2 anymore. I booked a 50 amp campsite and used that for charging overnight but if there were a supercharger there I could boondock (dry camp).I agree with you, hgpayne. This is a really helpful and needed location that I will definitely be using! This helps to make the area around Santa Ysabel and also Anza-Borrego Desert State Park region more accessible. However, we still more Superchargers for that.
Specifically, I'd like to see some in Borrego Springs and also right off the 8 freeway in Campo. We'd then have great coverage to play in the desert park area for hiking, camping, resorts (Borrego Springs), etc.
I don't think that word means what you think it means.It's a small 8-stall location
