And I'll bet Tesla owners would like an adapter to do the reverse.NYLEAF said:mitch672 said:Travel enabled from Boston, MA to Washington, DC

Okay, now I need a Tesla Supercharger to CHAdeMO adapter. (I know, I know.)

Oh, I beg to differ. You are getting your car Feb/Mar, as am I. If I want to go deep into OR or into western WA, CHAdeMO is available, but I don't see any SuperChargers north of the CA/OR border.mitch672 said:Not really. With 265 miles of range in "range" charge, and 241 miles in "standard" charge, there's much less concern about charging, if your within your normal daily area, that's plenty.
If you take a road trip, well there are those SuperChargers every 150-200 miles apart (which will get denser / closer together once the nationwide SC network has been deployed)

When, and if, the network is fully deployed, not a problem, but I'm in a hurry. For example, this coming spring I want to travel to Seaside OR. No problem getting there, but I will need a charge getting back. There are a couple of CHAdeMO, on the way, but no charging other than 120 volts at my destination, and that is not a sure thing.
Of course, things may change before then, but my plan now is to take the longer route through Portland and stop at the Tesla store to use their high power charging station while having lunch. Not a bad solution, but I would rather take a more direct route and stop in Astoria OR and use the CHAdeMO.

Sounds like a fun trip. My wife and I really enjoyed the time we spent in Seaside a few years ago. Make sure you pack the 14-50 adapter when you go.ebill3 said:Oh, I beg to differ.

Just a note of caution: not *ALL* RV Parks have (to use their term) "50 amp service". If they do, they will have that 14-50 receptacle. But if all they offer is "30 amp service" ... it's only 120V up to 30amp. Prudent to check before you rely on this assumption in your plans ... when you need it most (running on mesons (fumes)) you might be staring at a TT-30 120V supply without an adapter to use it or a very slow fillKJD said:It seems like there was at least one RV park in that area and all the RV parks have 240 outlet for the 14-50 plug. Have fun with that new car.

Many, but probably not all, EVs by default limit the current when they see 120V, assuming it's just a standard household outlet. I know this happens in the LEAF. Phil (Ingineer) might know a way to override thisDaveinOlyWA said:LEAFer said:Just a note of caution: not *ALL* RV Parks have (to use their term) "50 amp service".

too bad we cant use all that current at 120 volts. must be a way...
I think the odds are pretty good that there will be an adapter. If so, a round trip to Seaside would be a piece of cake - CHAdeMO at Castle Rock WA and or Astoria OR.DaveinOlyWA said:I know what you will say..."dont have chademo adapter"... bet ya by Summer time, someone will have one

GaslessInSeattle said:I pressed a product specialist on this during finalization and got no indication that it's even in the works. When I reserved back in July I was told by a store rep that a CHAdeMO adapter was in beta testing and would soon be released. I am disappointed that there is no indication of when/if there will be one offered. having access to WA's and OR's QC network would be the bomb!

Congrats on your new S. Is that a open EVSE 75Amp cable there?chris1howell said:We picked up our Model S reserved in May 2009 just over a week ago. In the first week we put over 1000 miles on the S. It is a truly amazing car. Very different from the LEAF in many ways. In our first long trip we covered 220 miles at highway speed 70 - 75 Mph with 2000' elevation changes (down then back up) and had 30+ left.

No not yet, but I will build one soon. So far 40A charging has been more than fast enough...
