Any problems at Tesla Supercharger with A2Z?

[bmwhitetx]

All sounds cool. I will test out the Mammoth options next time I' m up here. How do you know if a Tesla charger is "V3"?

As mentioned the Tesla app should be your main resource.

My understanding is some sites have a mix. I found this video that explains the differences:
V2 will be labelled A or B, then repeat (they share a 150 kW cabinet).
V3 will be labelled A, B, C, D then repeat (they share a 1000kW cabinet so 250kW for each).
So if you see 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, etc, then V2
But 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, etc, means V3
Also, different cable thickness.

Just did my first successful test of my A2Z adapters (both Supercharger and destination) the supercharger adapter was not as tough as everyone implied to get on (maybe they adjusted their tolerances?). I think I may have fought the destination adapter more than the NACS adapter (that one was a bit tight). Anyway, now I feel ready for my summer road trip!

Hi there,

Indeed, tolerances have been slightly adjusted and every adapter is tested with one of the multiple V3 Supercharger cables.

Thank you for trusting us!

Mammoth Lakes Tesla Supercharger on Old Mammoth Road (near Grocery Outlet) is labeled "2A, 2B" and no "C" or "D". The cords are thick suggesting V2. However, the Tesla app states capacity is 250kWh. I will check the other chargers down towards the bowling alley (near The Stove).

I come here frequently. Juniper Springs (guests only but they hooked me up b/c business is slow) has a Level 2 charger in their guest garage compatible with Lightning. Worked great for me, free.

Mammoth Lakes does have V3 Tesla chargers at the location closer to Vons and bowling alley. There are 12 chargers numbered "1A, 1B, 1C, 1D..." with thin hoses.

The Tesla station closer to 203 (near Grocery Outlet) is V2.

On my next trip here, I should have the A2Z adapter to try out. Will report back.

Anyone notice that the Ford pass app seems to have a preference for Tesla chargers when using the public charging feature? I have to do a 4,800km (3,000mile) trip with my ER, and I been trying to plan it out. I’m still waiting on my Ford nacs adapter and another aftermarket one I ordered.

I know of a couple sites that have half V2 and half V3 chargers but they do not show up as usable in the Tesla app. Has anyone tried one of the V3 sites like this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but not all V3 sites are open if I remember right?

Correct. Using the Tesla app or website, you will only see compatible locations.
