On the road again... exploring and visiting friends.
From San Francisco Peninsula, up the coast to avoid the Interstate 5 road closure (fire) into Medford Oregon to retrieve wife, then back up the coast to Astoria, in Washington missed connecting with jray3 by one day, then over to Vancouver Island where we met up with Sandange north of Nanaimo (it's a small world, as they missed us at home by a day), over to the mainland and visited a 101-year-old (!) friend in Sechelt, into Vancouver and up to Whistler (had no idea mountain biking was so popular). We were heading for Banff and Canada's Jasper National Park but the forecast was for snow and since my Tesla's tires are now approaching 60,000 miles (but still good tread) we turned south driving through some incredibly scenic country and are now in eastern Washington slowly heading home, far short of our 12,000-mile trip last year. 
British Columbia has a very well-developed electric car charging network and my CHAdeMO adapter has been getting a real workout. Interestingly, lots of venturesome Bolts are logging into PlugShare. All the DCFC stations I've come across are combined CHAdeMO/CCS.
Making good use of the TeslaWinds app on the Tesla browser which gives a real-time calculated vector-resultant of prevailing winds. Disconcerting to be travelling at 65 mph with the display showing the apparent wind as 80mph (15mph headwind). Our lifetime battery-to-wheels consumption is 295Wh/mi which I'm told is pretty good for a Tesla S, and on this trip so far we're at 278Wh/mi.
Still carrying the spare tire with me, but swapped out the huge floor jack for a small lightweight 12v scissor jack. Have a couple of brand-new expensive top-of-the line recommended windshield wipers in the frunk, just in case. I need to cull my huge heavy box of adapters as J1772 stations are everywhere, with most of them being free (for now).
Knocking on wood (resoundingly) we have had zero maintenance and zero issues and zero battery degradation with our Tesla after the warranty expired. Before that, Tesla had replaced the drivetrain and sunroof under warranty. Just get in and drive it. Simply a decadent way to travel long distances...
