This is the Bozeman Supercharger. Aren’t I clever to capture the gas station in the background? I crack myself up! And wrap your head around a 120 KW charge rate — that’s a 475 miles an hour charge!

The Idaho Falls, ID Supercharger is behind Bill’s Bike and Run. Electric bikes are big business for them now. They had at least a dozen different flavors in stock! I brought my own electric bike along to play with.

I made it to Salt Lake! Tesla is servicing my Model 3 right now. They will be done by 5 p.m.
