Supercharger - Cle Elum, WA (LIVE Dec 2018, 12 V2 stalls)

[laceyblackman]

Our food is back! Our new chef is working to train a few cooks so bare with us! He is really getting cozy in the kitchen, and starting to branch out the menu as we get more staff trained to help. I sure appreciate every single one of you supporting my small busienss.

Hey all! The Cle Elum Super Charger lounge will still be open, and the drive thru will be open for food. You can order on ToastTakeout ahead of time.

I also wanted to throw out to all of you, that since the restaurant is fully functional as a Tesla lounge, and restaurant I am contemplating selling it to liquidate my assets and get back to selling houses across Oregon and Washington. I wanted to throw it out to all of you first, before I posted it elsewhere (not the best time to sell a restaurant, I get it...... ) If not now, definitely in the future.

Understandable, but your involvement in creating the best Tesla friendly lounge and quality food at a supercharger that we’ve been to will be missed. Good luck at finding the right new owner without too much delay. ‘And thanks for the fish’

Really hope new owners don't just ditch the lounge. I can see that possibly being an "extra bit" that they might not see as beneficial, or confusing or something. I know Lacey will do her best to explain to whoever the new owners might be that it's worth keeping but still, if they're not a Tesla or EV owner I could see them just thinking after hours stuff might be a risk or not worth it....

Wife and I stopped here for our weekend getaway to Tacoma, both on the way and on the way home. Great little place Lacy - Here's hoping you find a buyer soon & they keep things going the way they are now!

Stopped here today _ July 18, 2021- There was a sign in the bathroom asking for people to be more considerate and clean up after themselves. So apparently some have been abusing the privilege that Lacey provides us weary travelers, I hope a few rotten apples don't spoil it for the rest of us.

I saw that yesterday, too. Since both bathrooms are accessible during business hours, it made me wonder what time of day the problem occurs. If it’s overnight, then it’s definitely Tesla drivers (or someone got the code). They were so short staffed yesterday, they had run out of toilet paper, and both bathrooms had a waiting line of 3-5 people when I was there. I felt bad for the two hard working ladies behind the counter.

If it was me I'd have a bathroom attendant, and I'd charge $5 a poop.

I was there in the morning a few months ago and it was quite busy. They could have used an additional worker to assist behind the counter and tidy up the dining area and restrooms. The majority of the customers seemed to be travelers in ICE vehicles rather than EV drivers.

 

[ReddyLeaf]

Quite busy Sunday 10am. Six total, mostly 3’s. On towing Y. Even a Bolt and Leaf at the other DCQC. Unfortunately, no masks worn by the coffee shop employees.

Wasn't Sunday the last time masks were optional in that County?

As far as I can tell as of today Face Masks are required while indoors in public anywhere in WA state.

Yes, the order went into effect at midnight Monday morning. However I know businesses around here were imposing the new rules on Friday (as is their right per the prior order).

It's also their right not to impose the order until it actually goes into effect. I wouldn't expect to see hypercautious Covid protocols in Eastern Washington. Or really anywhere in rural America.

Anyone have any inside info on what's going on with all the out of service stalls? I use this SC 4+ times a month, it's always been really reliable, but the last month or so there been stalls down every visit I make. Tonight 1a, 1b, and 3b were all down. 2 weeks back 2a and 2b were also down.

 

[Jedibryan]

It took almost 3 months, but looks like all the stalls at Cle Elum are finally functional again! I didn't personally test all the previously down stalls, but they're all showing up as working on the nav.

Anyone know the best way to let Tesla know about a broken SC stall? Didn't see anything in the app, and didnt have the time to try and navigate the phone tree which seems to be hit or miss for things.

Stall 3B has a bent charging pin on the plug, so it won't plug into anything, and I'm sure it won't flag as a degraded stall since the electrical continuity should still be fine.

They’ll figure it out. They have a way of identifying inoperable stalls by comparing button presses on the charge wand to successful charges.

Stopped here this morning Barista said new owners take over next week.

I want to thank Lacey for having the courage to set this place up. It’s one of our favorite supercharger stops. I hope the new owners are able to keep it going profitably
