Pretty good. A bunch of the "direct" connections pass locations with Superchargers, but with a significant diversion.

Fellow motorcycle rider! I had a Vstrom, great bike!

Will the charger be open by next week do you think? I am headed to Memphis and would love to not have to hypermile the whole way.

Thanks!
Hard to tell with Tesla time.... The Memphis Supercharger was like that for I think 3 weeks before it was turned on. Everything looked ready to go if the magic Tesla guy comes and turns it on.....
 
This is really good news for those of us who drive between Memphis and Destin, FL.

The best route is through Tupelo, then down 45 through meridian to mobile.

A location south of the 22/45 interchange would have been better, but this works.
 
Stopped by this supercharger on trip during Thanksgiving - and this station was working at half-capacity (and I do understand how these older chargers work when there is another vehicle charging on the paired station number - but this was happening when I was the only one there - and got cut further in half when someone pulled in adjacent to me). Spoke with someone there who frequently used this location and said it was often a problem with this location. Anyone been there recently - and any comment on whether these chargers are still working at essentially half of their intended capacity?

I was there back in July and had the same experience. Several stalls were either ~30kw, or 30kw for a little while followed by 0kw. I hope they add a new V3 along this route.

Also, reading this thread now was kind of funny. "by the Sears" - its more of a spooky mall corner now.
