We put it on the 110V charger it comes with, as soon as we get into town. (Roughly 4miles per hour charging). It’ll get you back to Needles for a quick stop and then to Barstow. The Barstow stop isn’t too bad. I may pop into Oggis or Chili’s now and again for a cold one.
Might wanna upgrade to a 220V Charger? If coming to SoCal I believe there is Super Charger in Lenwood and one in Twentynine Palms.
We will for sure at some point. Figured I’d wait til we make the move permanently to Havasu or copper comes back to reality, whichever happens first.Might wanna upgrade to a 220V Charger? If coming to SoCal I believe there is Super Charger in Lenwood and one in Twentynine Palms.
That’s why I opted for a Hybrid. Sitting at a Super Charger for at least 30 minutes to make an already long drive back home to Orange County even longer isn’t as fun as it sounds, lol
. It’ll always be the secondary vehicle for river runs.
I sold my Tesla, but I still have the wall charger. Someone make me an offer I cant refuse...Buy one of these and install it in your garage. Best money ever spent for the Tesla
Wall Connector
Wall Connector is the most convenient charging solution for houses, apartments, hospitality properties and workplaces. With up to 44 miles of range added per hour of charging, a 24 foot cable length, multiple power settings, and a versatile indoor/outdoor design, Wall Connector provides...shop.tesla.com
We have a Model Y long range. We drive it to the river from Irvine all the time but our river house is near Needles so not as far as Havasu which makes it easier. I fully charge at home the night before we leave with the mobile charger that comes with the car. I only use the mobile charger and take it with me on road trips, I do not have the Tesla Wall Charger at either house. The Wall Charger will give you max 40mph charging, i'm at 31 so ehh. I have a 50amp NEMA 14-50 socket in my garage at both houses and charge at 31mph. I supercharge in Barstow for about 15 mins to reach the house. My rule of thumb on any road trip is wherever I'm going is to give myself 100 miles of headroom. If I have 80 miles to go to my destination I charge to 180 miles. Supercharging is awesomely quick, Tesla nailed this from the get go. Other EV's are just getting fast charging going now. With Tesla supercharging you can go almost everywhere effortlessly.
Ive never waited at a Supercharging station, ever.The thought of being dependent on only 1-2 fueling options (let alone that could support more than a couple hundred cars at once) on a 300 mile desert trip is pretty gnarly.
They are bitchen cars, but until there is widespread EV charge stations like gas stations I would never go 100% EV.
The amount of cars rolling off the line is so far above / beyond the state's capacity to provide charging it is insane - If I have to flex my power and wash clothes after 9pm, your not ready for widespread EV's
$250?
the superchargers are free as well, we know a family that owns a vineyard in Temecula, no cost to them to have them installed and the electricity to run them, win win, more people come to their winery.
Same thing my wife does. We have the long range, supposed to be good for 350 ish, less than Havasu trip but the little asterisk is "at speeds 65 mph or less". In the 80's which my wife has been know to frequent the range drops considerably and she cant make it the entire way.
Your funny, I said and offer I cant refuse… I paid alot more than that for it…
If your selling your charger I assume you won't be buying another tesla. Curious what you didn"t like about it.
I shared that on another thread.
Is your Civic a dual fuel or CNG only?I drove my CNG Civic from Temecula to Foster City and fully mapped out the drive. Had to stop twice to fill the tank and the added time was a little less than 45 minutes with the on and off. Cost me less than $30 to make that drive, but yeah.......that electric shit is totally the solution.....
Yep! You think it’s hard to charge now wait until there is 50% EV’s trying to plug in. Today only 2% of vehicles are EV.The thought of being dependent on only 1-2 fueling options (let alone that could support more than a couple hundred cars at once) on a 300 mile desert trip is pretty gnarly.

. The infrastructure is not there and I don’t see it happening for decades. It takes 20 years just to get a permit for a Nuclear Plant and you sure as F are not powering all these EV’s at night with Solar/Wind/Battery Power, lol. I’m sticking with good ol dino fueled vehicles that I can refuel in under 2 minutes and drive another 600 miles 
It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out. We’re in Baker. 40 spots available with only 2 of us now. Last time here it was packed and it wasn’t Friday/Sunday.Yo

Let me make sure I’m understating what you’re saying, so you’re saying that it is inevitable and likely in the not too distant future that the grid will go down due to aging infrastructure and we won’t have any power in Ca and possibly other parts of the country?
100%.
So getting back to this… I gotta say this is doom and gloom talk and maybe you will end up being right but I’m gonna be a glass is half full guy and believe this will get worked out. Socal is the largest economy in the nation, I just can’t see us going dark. So for now I’m going to enjoy my Tesla and the massive fuel savings I’m enjoying as I’m sure it won’t last. I’ll be watching the grid power situation more closely. Thanks for the the insight, it’s an interesting (and frightening) situation.
Just remember. I owned a Model S…
