Supercharger - Susanville, CA (LIVE 29 Sep 2021, 8 V3 stalls)
- Thread starter DenMan98
- Start date
Thanks Guys. Still a complicated "Check on the weather and traffic" each trip type situation.
A supercharger in Susanville would put all of this to bed, but yes, the Yuba City supercharger makes the trip home faster in good weather because I can skip Roseville and take 20 from Yuba City to Truckee. Chico will be even better when it opens because I can go from Chico to Truckee via 70 to 20 and skip Yuba City traffic.

Welcome to EV travel in the mountain west in 2019!!
It will be a long time before you don't have to consider checking weather and traffic when driving through places like Susanville. You have to consider yourself to be more of a pilot than a driver.

First, he was talking about doing a range charge at the Reno Supercharger. It just seemed automatic to forgo the range charge and hit Truckee on his way out of town.
Second, highway 49 heads out of Auburn north to Grass Valley/Nevada City and south to Placerville. Highway 65 heads north to Marysville/SR70 from Roseville. And if he is heading on Interstate 80, he could just charge at Rocklin or Roseville and skip Yuba City. Probably more to do at Roseville, and Rocklin has the lounge.
We have been close to taking the Shasta city to Reno route via Susanville a couple of times. Hope there is some sign of Tesla starting to work on a SC site in Susanville soon.

We stopped at Susanville for a little over an hour and it gave enough miles to make it either Kfalls to Reno and on way back Reno to Best Western. Seems like we had more miles to spare with going to Best Western than traveling to Reno....but we made it! I definitely would love to see a supercharger in Susanville. We are making the journey again soon and cutting an hour off would be so nice! We have a Model X 75D so range is probably similar
All great info in this thread. I just got back from a trip through (Klamath Falls to Reno and south) in my 70D. Overnighted through Susanville on the way down, and both EVSE at the hotel were used overnight,
by me and a 3, and then iced as soon as I moved my car in the AM. Expect ICEing during the day, as these are near the front, even though there are plenty of parking spaces. My return trip was through Grass Valley due to timing and the Susanville hotel being full (on weekdays no less). I thought about a 2-hr touch and go, but really didn’t want to drive at night during deer migration time. I would love to see a SC in Susanville, but for me, more Level 2 EVSEs at hotels would improve the situation as well. I just don’t understand why every hotel in CA doesn’t have at least a couple of EVSEs. Edit: I forgot to mention, I didn’t see any SC-related construction anywhere in town, but I didn’t do an extensive search.

Well no sign of progress in Susanville but we are getting two more superchargers at Lake Tahoe which will be nice. I have been going through Susanville each trip from Reno to Redding, and charging at the hotel for an hour or so, there is a nice path to walk on and lots of food around. Hoping Tesla will see this and get this supercharger in! On the way home it's uphill so it would be a long charge, so I go through Chico and Truckee for the time being. Hope anyone going north out of Reno to Redding or Mt. Shasta or Klamath Falls can do the same.
Red Bluff opened today! V3! This gives Tesla more reason to open Susanville. 194 miles from Reno to Red Bluff is far. 110 miles from Susanville to Red Bluff - just about perfect! Anyone local to Susanville who can look around? No one noticed Red Bluff until it opened...
2 weeks back, only one main drag in and out of town via 36. I saw nothing. Head that way again might just stay the night for slow L2 charge. Had hope after Red Bluff was done the installers would get that way before winter.
Here's a very tenuous possible mention from a Tribal Business Council meeting agenda of the Susanville Indian Rancheria (SIR): http://www.sir-nsn.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Regular-TBC-Agenda-12.01.2020.pdf
"H. Discussion Items -- 1.Tesla Charging Station Update"
No indication on whether the update/discussion was actually about Tesla's "planned" Susanville supercharger, as opposed to being about level 2 chargers. I couldn't find any published meeting minutes which might provide some confirmation either way. If this is actually about a supercharger, I think it would point to them being at the Diamond Mountain Casino & Hotel, as discussed up thread, which is governed by the SIR.

I've also been waiting a long time for super charger in this area.

I hope this means it will be easier for Tesla to install one soon. The City should welcome anything that would bring in business. There are many empty and closed stores in the town.
