My wife and I dropped into Yermo SuC for the first time on Monday 12/23 at around 7:30am. The trip-planner said there were 16 of 18 stalls available over the course of 45 minutes, but we were the only ones there. Was happy to see our 2013 MS85 hitting a charge speed of 127kW (though briefly). We feel in love with Eddie World and felt like this should be the model for the modern roadstop. We visited each aisle of offerings and chatted with a few workers to get the skinny. We bought some really good apple chips and had plenty of charge to make it to Baker.
Xmas day was a disaster of sorts for us. We had a fully packed car with 4 adults, a child seat, and luggage to fill the trunk. We left the valet with a complete flat tire (inner sidewall damage). Got about 30ft onto the Las Vegas Strip and realized something was very wrong with the suspension; felt like zero dampening on the right rear corner. Roadside was wonderful even with minimized service on Xmas. 60 minutes later we had a loaner wheel/tire with arrangements to drop it off at my local service center in Ca. This held us back about 75 minutes causing us to deal with extra traffic. Getting to Yermo was a godsend.
We pulled up and were the 1st car in queue and had to wait 5 seconds for an available stall. Came in 18% SOC and hit 103kW (guess the car next to us was pretty much done). My wife bought 5 bags of apple chips this time, my niece loaded up on goodies/tissues/stuffed animal, and we all enjoyed delicious Impossible burgers, pizza, and ice cream. My bother and I played the urinal game and described the experience to our wives.
Since there were 4 stalls available I decided to keep charging to 90%, giving us plenty of headroom to make it all the way home to Cerritos for Xmas dinner then back to Newport Beach. Got home with 8% SOC and a lot of good memories on what started as a crappy day. My first flat tire in 24 years. Thanks Yermo/Tesla/Eddie World!
