I was able to charge the battery up in the Model 3 to 100%, which I found wasn't completely necessary but I didn't want it to dip below 20%. If it had, I would have woken up to a freaking cold car.

Kingston, ON Supercharger

I picked staying in Bowmanville due to there being a Planet Fitness nearby and of course the Supercharger. I have appreciated their hydro massage beds in my travels, which is a helpful therapy for all the sitting involved and the convenience of a clean shower.

The road to Montreal was constantly coated with rain, sleet and eventually snow. I missed being able to safely use Autopilot or even activate Autopilot on this section of driving!

Casselman, ON Supercharger

Charging Ahead: My Visit to the Milwaukee Street Supercharger

After reviewing my photos from the new Tesla Supercharger on Milwaukee Street in Madison, WI, I noticed that each electrical cabinet is labeled "480 VOLTS." I was hoping to see 800V architecture, especially since the Tesla Cybertruck is capable of supercharging at up to 325kW on select V4
