Wiki Superchargers Visited

[bmah]

It's been a little quiet in here. You guys feeling okay?

When's your next trip?

I'm still picking off recently-opened NorCal Superchargers but there aren't a lot left. No multi-day trips planned at this point, and not sure what criteria I'd use for unblocking that.

1 week until I journey home, should nab 10-20 new ones. It’s really frigid here in MN, low of -12 tomorrow. I am expecting no excuses needed to stop at every freeway supercharger until Texas. Today I almost broke my model X RF window, it was frozen shut and I stupidly yanked it open then tried to shut it, no bueno. Seems ok after a hard reset, hopefully the rubber trim goes back to normal shape once it warms up.

I attended the infamous Blair Walsh playoff game (which ended up being an ugly 10-9 victory for my Seahawks). The high that day was -6F. I've been outside in colder temperatures a couple times, but not for 4-5 hours. Just getting through that game and back to the hotel felt like surviving

If the trajectory of the case rate keeps going the current direction I may make a quick trip south in a couple of weeks. If I waited for the vaccine I wouldn't be traveling until August at the earliest.

Yes, our vaccination situation kind of sucks up here. I'm considering being a "vaccine tourist" on my next trip. I'm thinking some low population state will open it up to everyone soon. Maybe MT, WY, or one of the Dakotas.

One of the states where a sizable portion of the population considers the coronavirus a hoax, so few bother to get vaccinated? I'm considering visiting a county 70 miles away for much the same reason.

Still mulling over the ethics of doing that. My county is getting the vaccine 100 doses at a time, when we get any at all. No hospitals or nursing homes here but we do have 27% of our population over 65. I become eligible by age under state rules on February 8th.

As with so many others, I'd like to be able to visit family and do road trips again!

I was thinking the same thing! States like those with the highest vaccination rates will be the safest to visit and possibly get the vaccine - West Virginia is near the top and not too far, with a nice haul of unvisited superchargers along the route for me. A nice loop through DC I've been thinking about anyway.

Waiting for my second jab.

How are the vaccine tourists planning to get their 2nd shot? Pass through the same city after a month on the return leg, or roll the dice somewhere else?

797. Hagerstown, MD - Venture Drive

Right off the highway and super convenient. Much better than the old outlet mall location, although that one is good if you’re trying to take a nap.

California has been crappy outside of LA, San Diego, and the Bay Area counties.

Fresno County had been receiving about 8,000 doses per week for its 1,006,000 population. Per capita, the Bay Area is receiving more than twice the dosages! According to the state, we have poked about 83,000 people (undoubtedly some have received both doses, while most are awaiting their second.) Meanwhile, up the road in Stanislaus County, over 50,000 people have been vaccinated out of their 550,000 people.

Even tiny Alpine County (population 1,100) has had over 200 shots administered.

Something tells me that there was never a sensible plan for distribution throughout the state.

Hard to know as I have to take more than my share of risk everyday. I'm particularly concerned that the date remains unclear as to how contagious you can be after you've had the vaccine but still pick up the virus.

I've got access to quite a few health experts and they are all emphatic that just having the vaccine really isn't enough.

We aren't individually safe until we reach a high percentage of vaccination society-wide. That is why they keep taking about summer as the likely turning point. Will be watching the trends and data closely.

Really hoping to go to Custer. Will pick up "local" chargers when new ones come online. Between the pandemic and life events, 2021 will be relatively light for me. 2022 should be a different story altogether. I can't wait for 2022.

As luck would have it, I'll be going through Custer in May during SOS on my way to visit my daughter for her last quarter break before she enters practicals. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with a mass social gathering during covid (i'm not terribly comfortable with mass social gatherings at all) so I dont know how much I would attend anyway.

Haven't thought that far ahead. My state is doing reasonably well, so realistically I'll just wait my turn behind the priority people and line cutters.

I'm thinking summer too.

There seems to be a lot of CYA type messaging around the vaccine. Sure, you could still get infected after being vaccinated, but you have essentially a 0.0% chance of dying or even being hospitalized. Even the odds of getting really sick from the virus go way down. And yes, you could pass the virus on to someone, but the odds of that happening also go way down.

The problem with this type of messaging is that if you tell people they still have to mask up all the time and avoid interacting with others, they are going to wonder why they should even bother getting the vaccine. I mean, sure, festivals and dance clubs are probably not in the cards for 2021, but I will be GREATLY altering my behavior after getting vaccinated. I'll be visiting my family much more often and once they have all been vaccinated as well, I will gather with them like pre-pandemic times. I will only mask up when it's required by law. I'll travel much more freely than I did in 2020 when I still hit the road a lot, but rarely entered a business. Etc. It just doesn't make sense to continue with the strict social distancing protocols to protect against the infinitesimal chance of a truly bad outcome. Furthermore, it won't be enforceable. It isn't just anti-maskers who are tired of all the limitations.

When's your next trip?

One of my sisters caught COVID. Wow—a far-right Republican, who has attended several Trump rallies, caught COVID? Go figure. Another sister was vaccinated a month ago (works in a hospital). The rest of my family is still hunkering down and hoping our turn for the vaccination will come soon.

My next trip will be after I get both shots.

Don't exceed the speed limit!

Well actually, just don't exceed the speed limit unless you want an overflowing mailbox for about a year. They eventually stopped sending me stuff. Now I just have to wait and see if they let me back in next time!

I waited by the mailbox with trepidation after I learned that I was the only one who didn’t know to slow for the Italian speed cameras. Got lucky and only got a bus lane violation in Florence. Accidentally parked on the edge of the old zone right by a camera. Quickly moved and fortunately averted a ticket there. With quickly rising penalties for tardiness and internet “research,” I promptly provided payment info. The car rental also charged hurtful administrative fees for handing over your contact info. Turncoats.

Has anyone driven from Klamath Falls to Reno direct via CA-139 & US 395? Asking for a friend who is a recent Model Y Long Range owner. He says his range is 312 RM, and the distance is 253 miles per Google maps. It looks like something I would attempt given those parameters, although I'm not familiar with the terrain. abetterrouteplanner shows it as doable if you keep your speed under 50, and there are destination chargers at the Red Lion Inn & Suites in Susanville, CA if they were needed. He's talking about doing it later this year, not right now.
