Tesla charger tour of Northern California... Whee!
Lots of easy, unique features about my car once you know what to look for. The easy one is the reflective decals that say "Solar Powered Electric Vehicle" on both sides and back.Ah! that was you! I was wondering...
Woodland was actually one of my first stops.

Tesla charger tour of Northern California... Whee!
Tesla charging stations now have their own charger type at evchargernews.com.
Looks like I'll have to move from Chicago to California if I ever want to take a serious roadtrip. I've been searching pretty hard for any organizations interested in public chargers in the Midwest, and have come up empty.
...I had the opportunity to drive the cross-country Tesla from Seal Beach to Menlo Park.
...
The central location for recharging a Tesla on the 101 is the Marsh St. Garage in San Luis Obispo, which also has Avcon and SPI inductive chargers for other EVs, but also a high-power Tesla charger on the South wall by the exit...
...
the SLO charging spot is about 220 miles from Lost Angeles, and the Tesla, if fully charged, has a REAL range over 230 miles, a nominal range over 250 miles. So it's theoretically possible to make it on one charge to SLO: the SLO high-performance charger is 70 amps at 203 volts, which is, west of the pecos, about 14 kW. So you can fill it up in about 4 hours, from empty to full;...
In addition, there is a "secret spot" with a 100a 240v charger in Paso Robles, so you can charge even faster than the Tesla charger.
From SLO, it's an easy 200 miles to the SF area, in my case, the Tesla store in Menlo Park...
In addition, there is a "secret spot" with a 100a 240v charger in Paso Robles, so you can charge even faster than the Tesla charger.
The car can take that current then?
I once talked to a buyer in Hollister.
??Hollister ... would be too far away and unlikely be related to the PasoRobles spot.
ClipperCreek makes a 100 Amp (breaker rating, not output) version of the HPC, but the car doesn't (currently) accept charging at that rate. That could be what the "secret" charger is.
ClipperCreek offers a TS-70, 80, 90, and 100. The Tesla HPC is actually the TS-90, and the 70, 80, 90, & 100 in the model number refer to the breaker rating, not the actual delivered charging amps.
... No mystery, really.
