Indio, CA
Just off the Interstate 10
We were there around midnight. It was 97 degrees and windy. What a miserable place to be. At least we got away from the speeding trucks for a few minutes.
It is in a gigantic mall parking lot. The chargers are set up like those at the other stations we visited.
Buckeye Supercharger
10 Stalls and you can see the Cracker Barrel
We saw the first Tesla that was driving-- not just charging at a Supercharger-- the only Tesla we saw in our trip from L.A. to Richardson, Texas. It was driving into a Supercharger stall.
Holbrook Supercharger
Good location and easy to find
This supercharging station has 4 bays and is set up like every other one. Burger King still has a good Whopper but you'll need 3 napkins. The bathrooms were open. A man in the parking lot wanted to know all about the car.
Gallup Supercharger
Good location
This one is just off the I-40. Friendly staff at the Hampton Inn. Sign in front says "Welcome Teslas."
Albuquerque Supercharger
2 back-in; 4 head-in
3 are marked "Tesla Charger 45 min General Parking"
Tucumcari Supercharger
8 stalls head-in.
We were the only vehicle.
Amarillo Supercharger
8 stalls back in
Behind the Holiday Inn. Just off the I-40. We were the only car. Holiday Inn has clean restrooms.
Weatherford Supercharger
Behind Lucille's
Only one other S there when we pulled in-- a white Model S. Six stalls, back in.
Denton Supercharger
Nose-in stalls
It is behind the PetCo. Six stalls. Two other Teslas there.
Ardmore Supercharger
Six back-in stalls
Three other Model S's there-- a shock, as most outside California were deserted, on our trip from LA to Texas. Good location and not hard to find, even for us.
Shamrock Supercharger
Hot, windy, and deserted
Six stalls behind the Conoco station just of the I-40. No one there on our way east and no one there today. No one anywhere on the Main Street. 97 degrees and windy.
Flagstaff, AZ
Took forever to find
Nav gave right street address but wrong directions. We drove back and forth on Beulah before we stopped in the parking lot of the Olive Garden to study the Nav map.
Cordes Lakes Supercharger
Easy off and on the 17
Easy to find. On and off the 17 in a few minutes.
Wickenburg Supercharger
Excellent! They should all be just like this one!
Just perfect! In the old town. No one else here. Trees and old buildings. Really nice.
Quartzsite Supercharger
Behind the Carl's Jr.
109 degrees and windy. No other Teslas.
Cabazon, CA
Easy to find
10 stalls and they were nose in, so, easy to connect. Four cars there, and 3 came and went.
Burbank
A lot better than no chargers
We were there at midnight. Six stations, and when we arrived, 4 were in use. When we left, 5 were in use, including 2 Model Xs. Maybe 8 or 12 charging stations would be better? Or maybe it's just busy at midnight?-- but it is the 4th of July weekend.
Rancho Cucamonga Supercharger
Good station
Been there twice. 12 stalls. It is easy to find. It is easy to enter, and easy to exit. There were 4 Teslas there the first time and 5 the second time. All but one of them came and went while I was charging. These stalls are a one or two minute walk from what looks like the largest shopping mall on the planet.

Cracker Barrel
The Westernmost Cracker Barrel
Great place. We split a meatloaf plate. That, with two ice teas, was $15.
This Buckeye one is the closest one to California.
The waitress said that there will be no Cracker Barrels in California for 2 reasons: Someone in California already owns the name, and the owners don't want to pay the higher minimum wage. Minimum wage, she said, was $5.50 in Arizona.
Burger King
They sponsor the Supercharging Station
Good Whopper, as ever. Iced coffee was wonderful. Bathrooms were open and not as dirty as the ones at Quartzsite.
Applebee's
Good food and drinks
We had the strawberry lemonade. My wife said the server was gay.
K-Bob's Steakhouse
Go for the grilled catfish
Right across the street. No breakfast. Opens at 11.
Lucille's Road House
This place is a museum
Choice of 16 beers on tap. Six are Oklahoma craft beers.
Petco
Clean rest rooms and see the lizards
We walked around while our car was charging. Interesting cat litter boxes out now. Check out the one with the steps. Clean rest rooms. Look at the fishes too. Sad to sell them in those little containers.
Interurban Classic Grill
The place to go in Ardmore
One of the best on our first Tesla trip. Good coffee. Not too hot or too strong to drink. If we lived closer I'd take my wife there every few days. Shiner Bock on tap. Wait staff all young kids.
Big Vern's Steakhouse
A Slice from Time
Across the main deserted street in 98 degree high wind, a Route 66 slice of time. The bar has Shiner Bock on tap. My wife and I split one and I surprised her with the peach cobbler and ice cream. Restrooms behind the bar. Friendly staff.
Burger King
Better than the Carl's Jr
Not far but many semis and hot and windy
Carl's Jr.
Dirty restrooms. We walked over to the Burger King.
They need to clean their restrooms. The whole place was dirty.
Desert Hills Premium Outlets
Good for an outlet store.
Nice outlet, my wife said. She bought a cute hat.
