I had no traffic smooth driving after quartzsite
Yep, back to civilization after Buckeye.Once you pass by buckeye you are pretty safe cause there are chargers almost every 30-50 miles at that point
I think that is the consensus. Once, I had to skip Quartzsite due to the exit being closed. The other time there were too many car
I drive from AZ (Phoenix area) to CA (Marin County) frequently. On my outbound from AZ, I'd charge to 100% SoC, stop at Quartzsite to recharge to 80% SoC, and will get me to LA proper. Since I travel mostly at night, the Quartzsite EA chargers are not crowded and they seem to work fine on my trips. Alternately, there are multiple chargers in the Indio area.Yep, back to civilization after Buckeye.
In Indio/Indian Wells you recommend the EA at sprouts over the ones at Walmart? I tried to make it from Indio Walmart back to phx with 95% in July when it was super hot but was down to around 45% by quartzite and got nervous and stopped. It was 8am when I got there and only 1 other car so there wasn't a line like usual.If coming from Arizona side I would top off at buckeye or whatever is last charger out of town. Charge to 95 buckeye and drive direct to Indian Wells sprouts

45% SoC on a GT should still be able to get you back to Buckeye, as log as you keep the speed modest.In Indio/Indian Wells you recommend the EA at sprouts over the ones at Walmart?

Avoid Cabazon at all cost. Crappy chargers. Always full of people. Both @bunylebowski and I experienced people leaving their EVs plugged in and went shopping at the outlet mall. The spaces for EVs are tiny. And there are no organized queue for charging. It was pandemonium! During one charging session, the charger informed me that power was being throttled. My entire charging session was well below 60kW! DON'T GO TO CABAZON EA!!Cathedral city EVGo is the way to go for Palm Springs, ignore that awful EA at Cabazon outlets.
There are at least a couple forum members I'm aware of that are going to this one. (I'm not one of them, and neither is @TribbleTrouble lol, relax)They mentioned they added Factory Tours to the Rewards Referral Store, I do see it there , and its April 24th, exciting for those that can afford this.
I do not have 10k points yet, seeing how I just got my referral code this weekend, but lets see where this goes, maybe you others can register for it.
