Electrify America Porsche Taycan Trip Report (and a Humble Request)

It's a new version of the should you use the larger stall or the regular stall in the public bathroom.

Is that larger stall reserved for the handicapped or available to everyone?

All that extra room in the stall is great until someone rolls up needing to use it.

Yup.

I was thinking it’s also like using one of the gas pumps that also has ethanol free or diesel on the same pump when you’re pumping e10 yourself.

I never noticed that only a few pumps at the station have diesel years ago until someone pointed it out and a truck driver had to wait around.

I used to drive a diesel car and it was very annoying when the only diesel pump at the station was blocked by a gas car, when there were a lot of open non-diesel pumps. Of course they didn't do it on purpose, so I just waited patiently.

Good analogy!

Reasonable request and will use 150s before 350s if available...only if you get Tesla owners to not use Level 2 destination chargers when Tesla destination chargers are available

Right?? On my trip, my hotel had 6 Tesla destination chargers and 4 Clipper Creek J-1772.
For reasons I could not understand or explain, I had a Tesla next to me for 3 nights, using an adapter. I cannot understand why they would do this.

I have seen Leafs several times on my road trips. Looks like the golden age of empty chargers is coming to a close with all the "Free Charging" at EA cars. I have not road tripped since last Fall, but it sounds like things are changing rapidly.

California is showing us our future. As soon as I entered the border I started to see contention for chargers and my first-ever wait for one.

To Tesla's credit, they are throwing money at the problem. Check out this 100 stall supercharger site I observed at Harris Ranch! I wish EA would do that!

Hanging out with 100 Tesla drivers at once?

Sounds like a nightmare!!
