We are getting way off topic here, but even as an S owner, I have to admit, that if I were deciding between a used S75 and a LR3, I'd easily go with the 3, especially if I lived in a cold climate. It has a longer range and charges basically twice as fast now. The exception could be if you do 95+% of your driving near home. But you will definitely wish you had the 3 on any supercharging trip.

I suppose you won’t mind if I borrow one of your X for the weekend since you have 2,lol.
Fingers crossed these are open for the long weekend.

LOL, some wishing... It was fun to meet up with the guy who referred us though and get to meet the little ones who are enjoying their mini Model S due to the referral.

Probably the biggest issue with Woodstock, like the others in NB, is waiting for the connector stalls.
If you have time, can you check La Pocatière (exit 439 off highway 20) to see if there is any construction activity there. That is listed as a possible SC site on Tesla's site. I forgot to stop there on my way by last week. There's a McDonalds/Ultramar/Tims just 500m south from the highway, and a Subway/Metro/SAQ 1 km further, which could be a possible SC location.
Sorry I already passed it, I was driving dodn't go online. However for information Levy SC has 2 broken stalls which makes it pretty busy. Only 1 spot available when I stopped.
I noticed something. Maybe every body knew but me, but I was charging on 1a and 1b was already occupied and I was charging initially at 108kw at 38%.
As far as I remrmber, you couldn't charge that far before when the other was charging first. Does this come with the 150kw charging upgrade ?
Most likely, the other car was near the end of its charge and drawing low power. Think of it as a limit of 130 kW - 150 kW between the two stalls. Usually, the first car is getting over 100 kW, so you just get scraps, but sometimes it is only getting 30 kW, so you can see 100 kW or more.
I was at Salisbury yesterday and the tech who had just opened Enfield was in his car doing some complicator work.
We had a chat.
He told me that he had attempted to get 8 more pedestals so as to open Enfield, Quispam, Salisbury and Woodstock all at the same time with 4 chargers each, but had not been able to get 8 more. He said he felt opening them with 2 each was not a good idea for various reasons, and that it was his call that he made.
He also told me that we should expect that given the current massive shortage in pedestals that none of the 3 remaining will be open until August, but that they should for sure be done by the end of August. He's still trying for July, but that seems unlikely.
I am reposting the same info to all 3 affected sites now so people watching just one of them get the same info.
Cheers,
NB

One week into August and no sign of the pedestals yet. 7 of 8 spots ICEd though.
