Urgent: Help: Stranded in Modesto. Need an adapter. Will pay.

[SageBrush]

It's also why I have dedicated adapter that I leave at home (since I'm still using my J1772 EVSE pre Teslas).

Same at my house, but I am saved from forgetting to put the adapter back in the Tesla by my wife's LEAF -- meaning I have to take the adapter off after each Tesla charge or face trials and tribulations. It also helps that my holster is for J1772.

This thread sucks. I need closure.

Don't want to put him on blast but check his post history..... there is no post history tbh. but he left a vital info in the other posting where you can hassle him some

 

[SMAlset]

I hope they managed to figure out what town they were actually in. There’s no “UC Modesto”.

ah yes there is...
University of California Cooperative Extension, Suite A. Corner of Service and Crows Landing
3800 Cornucopia Way
Suite A
Modesto, CA 95358

also several chargepoints listed for Modesto.

OP is a Silicon Valley Tesla club member so believe it was a legit post. He’s an MX owner but out of urgency probably reached out to Model 3 owners being more prevalent on the road and forum in hopes of seeing his plea.

That’s a garden, part of the UC Master Gardener program. It’s completely nonsensical to call that facility “UC Modesto” and there aren’t any chargepoints anywhere near it.

At any rate, clearly a mistake by OP, they posted another thread in the Model X forum and correctly identified their actual location as the ChargePoint chargers at UC Merced.

I wish people would use the appropriate regional forums for posts like this. I monitor the California section pretty closely but only occasionally wander into the Model 3 area and almost never the Model X forums. I could have helped out OP.

nah, I don't know many model X owners that are in favor of physical exertion.

not sure why but this was very very funny to me... likely because i watch in awe as people refuse to touch their model x doors in OC.

I live in the area, literally a SC in Modesto is open down the road at the Target and is awesome. On another note, I got a nice tray for the center console on amazon that has a spot exactly for the plug adapter, always goes back same spot

Both my husband and I keep our J-1772 adapters in our glove box.

Since I use my Clipper Creek EVSE to charge our Volt and MY, I bought a second J1772. One is ALWAYS in the car, the other is ALWAYS in my garage.

I don't like walking and neither does my wife.

I have one from my old S that I don't have anymore. $50 and its yours.

 

[toolman335]

On his MX thread he left his phone number. I'm going to text him

 

[toolman335]

I texted and heard back:
"Thank you for reaching out.
I got a tow after 3 hours, got the car to the Modesto SC, and got home."

I wish he had followed up in here but at least we know he's ok!

Thank you for the closure. This thread has gotten. Slightly out of control.

Moral of the story: AAA is still valuable for EV's. Sure, Tesla will Tow you if the vehicle breaks down. But if you mess up, i.e. run out of power, it's on your dime. And if you pay for AAA+ they'll cover $1000 in trip interruption coverage. Like if your car breaks down over 100 miles from home and Tesla has to take it for a few days to fix it, AAA will pay for lodging and food.

It would be nice if there was some way to use a Tesla to give another Tesla a "jumpstart"... a way to transfer, say, 5% of battery capacity to another vehicle in a relatively short period of time. Maybe 20 minutes?

Once we have V2G and V2H, V2V will not be far away

I'm looking to get AAA, I don't see that $1000 thing. Which membership level does that?

Each AAA “club” offers different benefits. At least here in the Northeast, the AAA Plus level offers the trip interruption coverage. I do carry AAA Plus, and it’s come in handy over the years, not just for me, but other family members. As long as I’m with the broken down vehicle, it’s covered.

 

[RayK]

Out here in CA, this is what AAA offers for their different plans (I have Premier):

Plus covers $750 trip interruption instead of $1000
