We had our first “road trip” with Scarlett.<\/p>\n

Just a relatively short jaunt to Sunriver, Oregon for my wife’s staff retreat. We did our first Supercharging since taking delivery in February. This is the Bend, Oregon Supercharger.<\/p>\n

I wondered how the credit card link to our account and all that would work. In a word: seamlessly. Back in, plug in, charge, unplug and go. We were the only ones there on a Sunday afternoon until another silver M3 with California plates showed up.<\/p>\n

About 40 minutes later (I was going to time it and forgot…), we topped off adding about 180 miles of range and we were on our way.<\/p>\n

Total cost: $10.56. That’s the equivalent of about $1.46\/gallon compared to our Passat. And that only because Tesla recently changed the supercharge rates and Oregon rates doubled from $0.12\/KW to $0.24. My understanding is they are trying to keep locals from using the superchargers for their day-to-day charging and leave the stations open for travelers.<\/p>\n

Like us.<\/p>\n

So while it isn’t the screaming deal it once was, at $3.25\/gallon for the Passat, this is VERY economical.<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to our vacation to Lassen and Yosemite this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
