LA to Vegas trip?

[21st Century Pony]

So the Tesla Destination chargers do work on our cars? I'll order the adapter ASAP...

A TeslaTap works very well on pretty much every EV including your potential EV after the Mustang.

I suggest getting the 60 amp version to future-proof yourself.

Another advantage: Tesla Destination points are free. They are Level 2 charging points. And there are many more of them than most EV users realize, all over the country. A TeslaTap on a Tesla Destination point will recharge your car completely overnight.

Nearly all are free. But, if a location has 6 or more, they can now charge. https://electrek.co/2022/08/02/tesla-enables-paid-charging-destination-chargers-catch/

Yeah thats my worried about. Re-charging enough to get back to at least baker or Barstow without having to worry. The tesla chargers, would this be the destination charger? There's one right behind my hotel. I'm open to buying the lectron adapter and doing that instead.

The destination charger that I’m referring to over at Durango Casino has the universal adapter on it so you don’t need to bring your own. The EA station that seems to have more availability than the others is the one behind Caesar’s.

Those are 25cents per kWh, which is because they have 10 of them (6 or more required by Tesla to charge for juice). https://www.plugshare.com/location/579568https://www.plugshare.com/location/579568

When we go to Vegas from Phoenix (A little longer trip than from LA) I usually charge at the EA "South" station at the outlet mall, but it is always packed during prime hours. I try to hit it in the wee hours around 4AM on the day I'm leaving.

Thank you everyone for all the advice. I have the trip this weekend and ended up ordering the lectron 48A adapter. It arrives today. I actually ended up changing hotels and I'm staying at the Mirage. They got a few tesla and a few j-1772 charging stations. Either way I'm not going to rely on those and will be trying my luck charging at the South Vegas outlets and the fast charging at Caesars palace prior to Check in. Thanks everyone for the advice. This is a wonderful forum. I have another trip to Vegas at the end of May and I hope I have my supercharger adapter by then. It's definitely going to make things way easier.
