Superchargers visited 3.0

I might be a challenger in that category.

Suggestion: post your visits in the other supercharger thread so others can enjoy your travels too.
Superchargers Visited

Yeah, no

Maybe for the most hours falling asleep at Superchargers? LOL

LOL! I'd be close to the bottom of the heap. While I've slept in my car many a night, I've almost never actually fallen asleep at a Supercharger.

I got hit with idle fees three times lately from falling asleep at superchargers. They get you even if the site is empty now.

Hopefully, that will allow them to reduce the price of supercharging for the rest of us

I had an episode almost a year ago where I got idle charges at 3 overnight stops at empty chargers one night totaling close to $100. An email got them removed as an error. I’ve not seen any documentation to suggest the occupancy criteria has changed. I will be careful though as it can add up quickly.

Ok... So we just completed our first road trip in our Model 3, and added 10 more Superchargers to my count. Wanted to update the Wiki, but see this has all changed since my last update ~16 months ago...

I'll request access to edit so I can add the newest ones, as well as update my prior visit dates (since it looks like the spreadsheet just used edit dates from the earlier listing style...).

Welcome back to the bame. You should be all set - your column in the spreadsheet is HP.

Yes, we did our best to guess at the dates since the wiki didn't track dates.

@theflyer will create a Tableau visualization for you when he has a chance.

Quick question...what determines which is "my" column? Is there a particular sorting order? I just noticed that I haven't always had the same column (by letters), and was curious why.

Thanks!

Bruce.

Awesome. Thanks. I'll go update my data now (I updated a copy already, so easy enough to just paste that in)...

Mostly they stay the same. People with edit permissions are to the left, non-editors to the right, and archived to the way right.
If someone becomes an editor, their column moves to the left to join the editors, and some non-editors move to the right.

That will usually work - but sometimes we insert rows for new superchargers, so be careful with that.

Good point. I'll be careful... I made a copy of the file just a few hours ago, so should be close...

On a side note, I see that my column moved to the "editors" section, but I'm not able to edit it. Not a frequent Google Sheets user -- anything I need to do?

 

[ZBB]

I'm now current. At 138 unique.

one question -- how does the "first visits" count update? Is that manual? I went back in an updated all my visit dates based on my personal log, and I now have 13 light green labels...

 

[juliusa]

how does the "first visits" count update? Is that manual?

Yes. Admins update it periodically.

So I’ve had the opportunity to inadvertently sleep well past charge completion a few times here on my return trip. No signs of idle fees when overstaying desolate chargers.

Wall SD still does not properly map on the Nav and if it does route there when you’re very close, it does not recognize any future chargers on your route. Bizarre.

I noticed the same thing when I visited a supercharger that just had opened. My nav would not route through any superchargers. I had to manually pick the next one. I thought it was just a glitch but I tried several times with the same result.

It would be nice to have destination chargers that could be slept at. I wonder what makes the decision about adding destination chargers to Supercharger stations. I keep eyeballing that one at the Kettleman City SuC but it's in the handicapped space so I haven't used it... yet.

I have slept at MANY free chargers over the years (more than 1.0 can be pluralized), it's a great way to keep the environmental systems running, even spent the night at a casino while leaving Las Vegas where it was 99° at midnight, but 68° inside.

I have done that at campgrounds using a NEMA 14-50 and just adjusted the amps up or down until the estimated end time to 100% matched when I had planned to leave.

 

[israndy]

I think that you can charge full bore and when it stops charging it will continue to run the environmental system

It doesn't. I know from sleeping at superchargers many times. LOL Once charging is complete, the supercharger will stop and disconnect. Any energy used from that moment on will only come from the car's battery. It will also not kick back in to refill the battery after the level dropped. I know when connected to AC the car will continue to draw from the charger to keep the charge level the same. I assume it doesn't work on superchargers for safety reasons. They don't want to keep 400 Volt DC on the cables.

 

[israndy]

It doesn't want you hanging out after you finish charging
