After the dismissal of the entire Tesla Supercharger team this spring, concerns for the continued expansion of the network was on a lot of our minds. Per the website supercharge.info, construction/permitting/planning is continuing at a good pace. Earlier this summer planning and permitting...

Autumn is approaching in Minnesota.

100% speculation, but given the lack of new Rivian RAN charging location announcements, is Rivian going to join the Ionna consortium like Toyota just did?

This post will be of most interest to EV drivers in the Upper Midwest. ZEF Energy is Minnesota based charging network that has installed DC faster chargers (mostly 50 kW units) in small towns and rural areas of Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas. While that are to be applauded for this...

Thanks for sharing. Main takeaway; you need charging at home or work to make EV's practical. More Level 2 charging needed for apartment/townhouse residents.

September Update: I've updated the original post to now show data through August (5 months of data summarized on or around the 1st of every month). Top line regional averages shown here; more updated charts in original post. Summary: Plugshare averages show consistent differences by region...

What’s up with the elevation reading? Did you try a soft and hard reset? Seems like it could be a funky software glitch or a temperature sensor.

35k on the first set. Set two at 16k now and look great.

We just did a trip from Minneapolis to the Pacific coast on Vancouver Island via North Dakota, Montana, Washington. Then back to Minnesota via the Trans-Canda highway to Winnipeg then south to MN. We had a bed top tent on our R1T. Nearly 5,000 miles. Our trip was smooth and uneventful. The...

I just returned from Canada. Drove the trans Canada highway 1 from Vancouver to Winnipeg. Drove around Vancouver Island and the Banff area a lot. The navigation worked fine. Charging was easy. Used superchargers a lot plus some electrify Canada and BC Hydro. All was seamless. If going to...

I'm in Plymouth. I can loan you mine. Are you available soon-ish? Will be departing soon to visit family. Sunday AM could also work.

On the Tesla website you can filter superchargers by “open to other EVs”. These are the magic docks.

Not a lifetime total but close. Live in Minnesota so some significant number of miles in cold weather.

In one year! Wow, that is a lot of miles!

70% typically. But I make frequent long drives so 90% or so is not uncommon.

The charge port door would not always retract or extend. I could manually “help” it so it never left me in a bad situation. They replaced the actuator motor and it’s been fine since. I would rather see a manual door than the automated one to avoid this type of failure.

Some thoughts on passing this milestone; Acquired Quad motor Adventure with 21” tires in late July 2022. Hit 50k miles on August 1st 2024. Overall it’s been an extremely fun and reliable vehicle. Powered tonneau has always and continues to work fine. Had the early suspension creaking but...

If you use the web version you can see the elevation profile of the whole route. The phone app version is just one segment at a time.

Me too. VIN in the 8000’s. July 22 delivery.

Great! I’ve also seen some really impressive efficiency results when driving 55 mph or so on rural roads.
