These guys built and wired an R1S snd R1T for SEMA a few months ago. Parts of the build are starting to come to production.

Just an observation, but it surprises me there is enough demand for pucks to have (at least) three separate suppliers. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me too much, as I am looking to buy some….
The other two main puck makers seem to be out of stock too. I like the idea of using a bottle jack so I am in. Well if I remember to check back in Feb I am in ;)
A few years ago in Utah, before I had found the channel, I got my LR3 about as close to needing help as ever. I have since seen them pull someone out the -exact- same place I got stuck. Just put this LR3 in where the 4Runner started, I was doing the same thing he was, sliding off to the side...
Should only take one (full) charge at EA in Kettleman City to get you there. But it's a longer slow charge once over 70%, so you can also hit two EA stations on the way for shorter hits/ that's what the in car nav will likely suggest.
I noticed it about a week ago when on a roadtrip, and assumed it would magically come back (it was there before right?!) but still shows a - on all stations. Just me?
You are able to click on a charger icon, and then navigate to it. But only if there isn't already a route being used. Once a route is active you can see the charge icons, but not click on them for information, or to route to them. Something a future update should fix.
With so may people on the road, weather conditions and an already fragile network for DC fast charging, it's hasn't been the best time to roadtrip in an electric vehicle using CSS.
My particular anecdotes included:
a. Paso Robles EA station with one, -one- functioning charger. A Polestar gave...
Having just done a relatively short road trip in a state with “some of the best” infrastructure, it’s a mess out there. I absolutely would not take the Rivian again, it just wasn’t fun for anyone. Suddenly your navigator has to be a rally copilot, with Plugshare and all the charging network...
Having spent 20mins doing battle with an EVGo charger today, I can’t disagree that in general the state of charging networks is underwhelming.
on a similar note:
Every post you make reduces your chance (earned or not) to get the R1S early.
I’d say by now your chances are slim, which Is better than none, but not as good as yesterday morning before you posted.
