Wiki Superchargers Visited

**** NOTE: We have transitioned to a new platform ****
More Info: Supercharging.Life database​

This is a friendly contest for Tesla owners to track the number of unique public Superchargers where they have charged

- "Supercharger count" is the number of unique public Superchargers where you have charged (just being there does not count), whether or not you were the person plugging in the vehicle (such as a Valet Parking garage or a Passenger) and whether or not it was your own personal vehicle (such as a rental, a loaner, or a friend's Tesla) as long as you were the one who drove >50% of the distance to reach the charger(s).
- The list of chargers in the supercharging.life database are the ones included in the game. If you think one should be added or removed from the list, let us know.
- Only chargers available to the public without special permission are included in the game.
- Chargers not connected to the grid are not counted.
- Doublet locations like the North/South Supercharger 'pairs' in CT, ME, NH, etc. count as individual locations.
- More than 1 charger at the same address, such as Lenox Square Mall (Atlanta, GA) or Montgomery Mall (Bethesda, MD) count as individual locations when they appear as a separate location on the Tesla Nav screen.
- Inactive competitors will be archived and removed from the leaderboard. Just post an update to be reactivated.

See Supercharging.Life database for info on how to post your own visits to the database (preferred), or post your locations with date visited to this thread and one of the admins will update your list for you. All visits must be posted to this thread - not just entered in supercharging.life. If you are the first in the game to visit a supercharger location, please post to the thread as soon as you can so others know it has been visited.

Wonder if they'd be of any use in an Italian restaurant, never sure what the menu is saying, but I don't think just translating the words will help. I know they think they are classing up the joint but I have spent too much on uneaten Italian food. Give me an Old Spaghetti Factory any day.

For me it's very helpful for this use case.

Still loving the pics.
I need to do better on my next trip. Thanks for the impetus.

Haha I am the biggest offender here! I had some days where I didn't even take any let alone post them!

You'll be surprised to learn that when eating farfalle and capellini, you are actually eating butterflies and little hairs. To think this whole time you thought you were eating pasta!

Day 12: 258 miles from Matane to Quebec City. It was a nice drive down the coast of the Saint Lawrence River. Not too much to write about today other than we had a lovely dinner on Rue Saint-Jean in Old Quebec. This part of town feels like an old European city, just as @PLUS EV said it would. Lovely. The steep hill to/from the hotel was quite challenging, but I made it.

I gotta say, the 5x optical zoom on the Pixel 7 Pro is a game-changer for smartphone photography. I've used it extensively on this trip for creative photos, including this one, and to collapse the distance between a near object and a far object (e.g., Enty in front of the confederation bridge).

Magic Eraser is another game-changer. It converted this photo from a just-okay tourist photo into a pretty good shot. I removed three objects. Can you tell where?

Day 13: 560 miles. Bernadette worked today, and I made a big loop to collect Baie-Saint-Paul, Chicoutimi and La Tuque. The Hilton says we have a mountain view. Yesterday, I put mountain in quotes, but driving through them today, I realized they are mountains. Not big mountains, but mountains nonetheless. Baie-Saint-Paul is a nice resort town, maybe like the Poconos(???). The drive through the national park was beautiful, though some of it was driving in/through the clouds. The air force base near Chicoutimi was active today, with many F-16s and F-18s departing as I arrived.

On the run down from La Tuque to Yamachichi. The only downside of the drive was that the roads I traversed lacked turnouts to sit and appreciate the view or get a good photo of Enty in the region. This shot through the windshield will have to do.

Road trip to Nashville:

Deep dive on the new Charlotte, NC Supercharger with hundreds of feet of conduit runs, 2 switchgear, 4 cabinets / 16 stalls, and conduits through the structural concrete of a parking garage

I also did a deep dive on the Model Y AWD 4680 charging curve - it's bad.

Here's hoping they fix it in software in a not too distant update.

Although I find it silly that they went to all the effort to make the new battery remove its heat from the bottom and then they run coolant in pipes around the batteries like all the previous Teslas. But the 4680 can't cool itself from the side so I don't know how they keep the insides from overheating w/o the bottom plate to extract the heat of charging...

Check the charging history in your app. They almost certainly charged you.

You are correct. I noticed that after I posted in this thread, and mentioned it along with the price ($0.27/kWh) when I posted later in the site thread.

I thought that for two reasons. I have heard other folks report that when Tesla first turns a site on, it is free for a day or so. Also, neither this one nor the Matthews supercharge which opened back earlier this year showed a running total of cost while charging.

I just looked back, and I got charged for the Matthews site, too, despite being there on Day 1.

Interestingly, I have tried several of the new co-branded Shell Recharge/Duke Energy CCS stations popping up around North Carolina, and those are free for several days after they are commissioned.

(^ Maybe that will entice @israndy to come visit N.C. )

I picked up couple in South Carolina that have opened since the last time I went that way. I made it worth the drive by looping up to Sassafras Mountain and bagging the state high point. (The problem with trails aimed at peak bagging in the East is they have no views until you get to the top, because of all the foliage. At least this has fewer roots and rocks than the Mt. Mitchell trail.)

Just fit in another one yesterday that I should've been able to get multiple times over since it opened more than a year ago. I shop in Fair Oaks / Fair Lakes somewhat frequently, and I always drive right by this charger on I-66.

So Sassafras is number what in you High Point list? I think I’m at 19?

Fair warning, Olema, CA today.

When I climbed Mount Marcy in the Adirondacks, I was shocked at how many Quebecers were on the trail. Seemed like almost half of the people were speaking French! When I asked one of them about it, he said it was "because we don't have any real mountains in Quebec."

Congrats on the SC high point!!

@PLUS EV - you need to update your unique superchargers visited count

 

[vanjwilson]

So Sassafras is number what in you High Point list? I think I’m at 19?

Only the 4th one I’ve hiked. I blame this game, and @PLUS EV in particular, for infecting me with the bug.

I hiked Guadalupe Peak (TX) on a road trip last year. Then, Elk Mountain (SD) when I went to the Sound of Silence Tesla rally in Custer this Spring. That made feel bad that I had never done Mt. Mitchell (NC) from the campground at its foot, so did that a couple weeks ago.

Any words of wisdom from a veteran?

It’s a lot like collecting supercharging, hard to explain to some, nearly impossible to explain to a spouse. But it takes you places you might not have thought visiting. I started with Mt Marcy in 1970 so at 19 I’m not hitting them too fast! Hoosier Hill in Indiana is just a short diversion from I-70. My Wife was amazed that someone else was there, some guy that noticed on his road atlas while driving from Arizona to New Jersey. He was hooked on collecting as many as he could after that first stop. The last one was the Nebraska high point which allows you to also a short walk to the triple point of Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming. There is also a Minute Man silo in the area. It kind of makes it a major trap for the collector of odd geographic goals.
