yeah - North America the Tesla supercharger network is restricted to "authorized vendors" - most (all?) of the EV manufacturers have announced support - but it's coming in dribs/drabsā¦
based on this road trip experienceā¦
supercharger access would still be welcome
250 miles in a Macan EV Turbo is easy -280 to 320 much much harder at 60+ mph highway speeds
car is a range monster at 55 mph or slower
Plug&charge is great! - I only had one hiccup
there are more ccs charging...
from previous stop it took 11% to get to eugene! we couldāve totally done it! oh well!
now charging at Medford, OR - good progress today - not optimal range - few good choices beyond medford that are in range!
would have preferred to stop a little later - but take the chargers where we can...
Albany, OR achieved! 15% battery upon arrival! Started Port Ludlow, WA @ 99%
Eugene is just barely out of reach - if i was alone i mightāve gone for it!
charging now! plug&charge worked - max rate 203 kW - 15% to 88% in 31 minutes!
still charging to about 95%
here is the "filter" you can use to restrict the Tesla supercharger map @ tesla.com to just "MagicDock" stations for planing purposesā¦
"other EV" at the bottom _IS_ the proper choice to see MagicDock locationsā¦
"NACS partners" will show you general-purpose Superchargers that are open to...
Tesla.com "find us" button - and you can check the map for "magicdock" stations
there are only 4 in all of Washington state - that's how rare they areā¦
I knew there was a Supercharger stations in Forks, WA - but never thought to check if it was magic dock
Forks has Teals and Rivian for...
easy peasy - I'm not personally familar with Hwy 99 in terms of CCS charging - but I-5 pretty much anywhere in California/Oregon is "CCS easy"ā¦I'd have zero qualms getting to Portland from Palm Springsā¦
MagicDock stations are open to _ALL_ CCS vehicles with no prior agreement required between the vendor and Tesla - no vehicle choice is "necessary"
you just used the Tesla app to start the session.
the trip has had a "minor" issue - in Eureka the car has develped a "chassis fault" - I appear to have lost ride height control -nothing else is wrong - but the chassis error is persisting so I think this a real issue - it's harshed my buzz a bit - but it's the first serious problem I've had...
Plan: Visit my Brother and his daughter who's getting Married in Port Townsend, WA - woot family wedding!!! And I get to see my daughter who lives in Seattle (she's coming over for the wedding - double bonus family time!)
Route w/Macan Turbo EV
ā - Day 1: Santa Cruz to Eureka, CA
ā- Day 2...
so you're upset that the car can be "tricked"? let me count the ways _ALL_ vehicle's can be tricked and cause false sensor errors.
does the problem persist?
how was the DC charging door get blocked?
did hte problem cause the charging session to be slow?
was it easy to see what had happened and...
is that error message actually occur???????? - yes you should pay attention to that - but it's really relaly hard to sort your actual problem, potential problem, what problems you actually have, what problems you might have, and how often this problems (if they are problems occur)
you keep...
I'm on a road trip right now with my wife - Santa Cruz area to Olympic Peninsula - in Astoria tonight - so far so good on the fast charging - much improved vs my personal experience in Taycan from 2019-2023 era
charge curves have been good/appropriate
peak charge rate so far 265 kW in Astoria...
