When you're the only one in town with a supercharger, you're the one holding all the cards. Tesla needs the garage more than the garage needs Tesla. The garage makes money whether or not the chargers are on.

Colorado Springs is a large city and this supercharger location has never been ideal. Certainly they can come up with a better option.When you're the only one in town with a supercharger, you're the one holding all the cards. Tesla needs the garage more than the garage needs Tesla.

Recently charged here: parking was free for up to an hour when charging...And believe me, you need an hour if you’re coming in light on juice.
Plugged in at 30% and never went past 60kWh, tried different stalls and eventually gave up and pulled up a DirtyTesla video to watch while we trickled up to 80% needed for Trinidad.
Yes. Started preconditioning just before the mall between Monument and downtown Springs.
Yes. I was not a happy camper paying by the kWh for those crappy speeds. We’d have almost been better off hitting the EA CHAdeMO in Fountain or stretching to Pueblo and using the EA there.Did you notice a price jump since we’re now charged for the power going towards HVAC and everything else?
I was looking on the map at that location a few weeks back. There's a Kum & Go nearby and Tesla has teamed up with them in Colorado. Maybe you can stop by, scope things out and report back?It would be awesome if they could put up a set near Great Wolf Lodge (or the area near there)
right next to I-25 and a pretty good location too. Plus no charged parking garage.

It may be right off 25 but it’s kind of a chore to get into as it’s practically right off downtown.I'm ok with paying $1. (free during the workweek) I think it keeps people with FUSC from opportunity charging. Always an open stall here. Not so much at the SC @ Park Meadows
I agree...great Wolf Lodge would be a good spot. I frequently use the Tesla destination charger at the bank there while I watch a movie using the Regal Unlimited movie pass. I also opened an investment account with the bank as a sign of appreciation for putting one in.
Oh, I definitely agree that the location is one of the worst, if not the worst, I've ever been too. Luckily it's not a charger I use unless I'm visiting downtown for lunch. I don't need to use this one for road trips, but I can imagine how frustrated I would be if I didn't know it was in an enclosed garage that used to only accept $1 bills. WHO HAS $1 BILLS?!?!It may be right off 25 but it’s kind of a chore to get into as it’s practically right off downtown.

I was in the Springs today and scouted all the Kum & Go's near I-25 (including Great Wolf Lodge) as well as the one in Monument. No sign of Supercharger work at any of them.I was looking on the map at that location a few weeks back. There's a Kum & Go nearby and Tesla has teamed up with them in Colorado.

I'll be the first to report supercharger work in the Springs...no worries about that. But seeing that nothing is on the SC map and the pending installs have been on the map for 3+ years, I'm not hopeful anything will replace the parking garage SC. I was on top of the destination charger at Interquest and was getting updates from Apollo Sunguard during the install. Good guys by the way.I was in the Springs today and scouted all the Kum & Go's near I-25 (including Great Wolf Lodge) as well as the one in Monument. No sign of Supercharger work at any of them.
