Another nice thing about George WA it’s power comes from Grant County PUD. They generate power from their dam on the Columbia and, along with the Moses Lake Supercharger, ends up costing 3/4 or less than most Superchargers.

I’ve been actively using supercharger.info for 4 years and MarcoRPTesla is the gold standard for information and accuracy. I’d rate this as being correct at 95%+. He recently dropped his TMC account but his Twitter account has posted this follow up information. I’m not on Twitter but if someone...

I’m thinking on a large water storage reservoir in the southwestern US. Reduces evaporation, installed on already converted acreage for agricultural and urban uses. Helps maintain water as the mega drought develops. Clean power near major consumption areas. Edit. The big reveal occurred while I...

So what’s going on in Woodburn? Upgrading the site? adding to the number of chargers? It’s already a crowded parking lot there, but it’s a great location for more and/or faster chargers along I-5 as one transects Portland.

Exactly. I think the latter. Makes the most sense. Build it and they will sell. Optimize the 4680 battery on it’s own timeline.

@IrvEV - You have to first post 5 or 10 times, then the option appears. It’s to filter out trolls and bots.

I wondered the same. The meter in other recent SuC installs has been to one side of the largest white Tesla cabinet. While it’s partly obscured in these photos, I don’t see it yet.

@Chuq @MarcoRP @corywright Between @ricksroadsterX ‘s information about successfully charging and his photo of the green light around his charge port, do you have enough to mark Ellensburg WA(#2) as open? Looks good!

Take a photo of it charging and it can then be updated on supercharger.info. Thanks!

Indeed. I even see that the power meter is installed.

Resistance is feudal.

Resistance is futile!

@Chuq @MarcoRP @corywright please mark as under construction. Stopped by to see while topping off nearby. 4 of 12 chargers mounted, all concrete and pipes done, vault in place for transformer, wire and white cabinets are there, waiting. First shot to north, 2nd to south. Looks like a light is...

Stopped by yesterday, happened to be there when 2 Tesla technicians were busy working on things (driving 2 cars, an older S an an X). Nice guys. They said it was going to still be awhile, asked me to not take pictures and had no comment when I asked what other new SuperChargers they were working...

Agee with the YouTube recommendations and comments from everyone. The nerd in me must also add Ingineerix to the list, he’s done many deep dives into Tesla. His original tear down of a totaled 3 convinced to complete my Model 3 order (placed pre revel in 2016, received in 2018) even though I...

New members need to make something like 10 posts before your ‘like’ options shows up for you. I think it’s to limit bots and trolls?

Never mind. My last post was a Nothing Burger! I used the wrong address when I stopped by! Anyone willing to stop by the Safeway at 530 Canal Street? Would be nice to know more.

@Limited photos from Jan. 9th shows there wasn’t a transformer yet. After that arrives It will still need to be wired up, metered and tested before final permit is approved.

Since we were driving by, I thought a stop in search of activity was in order. Short answer = nothing doing. Nice big underutilized parking lot at this Burger Thing though, and a Mexican restaurant is nearby just south of the Shell station.

OK. Made them smaller, they’re upside down- I’m left handed… a blessing and a curse.

Yeah. I wanted to confirm there was no transformer yet, so since I was driving by I took this picture of the pre cast pad (on Dec. 20th photo by @dtswan sitting on the asphalt) placed where we’ll see the transformer eventually (in distance on @Sparks photo posted this morning). Photo not...

Supercharger equipment all in, workers had tidied the site up and left. It appears wiring will be pulled into pre assembled Supercharger units later, looks like transformer will be placed in or next to precast vault in back area.

Not sure if you’ve already done this trip, but if not, check current conditions of the Pendleton SuC. I just posted at that TMC thread. “He said it (Pendleton) was ‘down’. I just checked our car Nav map and Pendleton shows as ‘Temporarily Closed’. The X driver had been talking about the Spokane...

FYI. Car Nav says Spokane is temporarily closed. PlugShare chatter says one of the temporary Urban charges placed nearby is working, maybe not always? Best to try them all if you go by.

He said it was ‘down’. I just checked our car Nav map and Pendleton shows as ‘Temporarily Closed’. The X driver had been talking about the Spokane charger being closed while new owners had Tesla move things around some. He went on to assume the Casino wouldn’t be changing hands or closing...

Also, wire doesn’t appear to be pulled, some conduit still in wraps on parking lot. Crew had no idea when the transformer would get there. I’ll be back for more photos on Thursday.

A Model X driver I talked to at Ritzville said this charger was problematic. Anybody been by recently?

Oh, right! Precast base for chargers! Plus more of the crew.

Drove by today, great news! Crew actively working on final installation! @Chuq @MarcoRP @corywright please mark as under construction.

2A and 2B are zero power today. (Nav says only 1 is out).

New Activity at Castlegar also reported today. Things are changing to the positive! (Road Trip).

New Activity at Castlegar and Creston reported on the same day!

Thanks agegamon, gone skiing and doakills for all of that. I see in Doakills Dec. 4th photo that the Tesla cabinates are on pads next to the already on site transformer that needs up-grading. Since we can’t see that, I think looking for a meter where the plans indicate (in ‘switchgear’ between...

So far I haven’t seen a photo of the transformer (big & green). Anyone passing by have the time to stop and take a photo of it, or at least it’s empty padsite? Who knows, maybe you’ll be the first to charge here!

Not a problem. Except for your back. To be clear, 4 of the 12 chargers were dark still, but the car navigation doesn’t tell you this, nor did Ritzville say 1 of 4 was out on screen.

Volume kicks up. Testing 1100 over and over!

Stopped in to charge at 9 this morning, 8 chargers powered up ; Cle Elum also good to go. On the other hand, driving to Bellingham from there today? Sketchy.

Stopped in today. Three of four stalls working. Charging speeds about normal for our state of charge. Good luck!

@goneskiian Saw your recent post about reduced Spokane Supercharger availably as chances are made. As you head back west I assume you’ll stop here too. Please include an update about the number of charges working at Moses Lake. We’ll be wanting to stop at both locations on the 26th. Thanks!

Thanks for clueing me in.

On my return home from CdA today, I took a look at this project area while charging our M3. Edit out Cybertruck charger speculation. Some photos and layout image attached below. Edit: Somehow inserted into Andrew FW’s post above? Ditches are dug and filled, transformer installed, two units of...

Popcorn!! Get yer popcorn!

Imagine it’s a California law.

Looks like it a totally different site on the other end of Soledad by 101.

I saw it in Teslarati https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-elon-musk-tsla-stock-sale-too-much-tax/amp/

I’m copying this explanation of changes in Tesla’s ‘coming soon’ listing that’s informative from a @mociaf9 response on a different thread, he’s as on top of upcoming SuCer’s as anyone I can think of. I think this explanation supports keeping this thread ‘alive’. “Not weird at all. For a long...

I agree. I been thinking about posting something similar. I was waiting, following my other method to reduce random chattering, sit back awhile, read until I’m caught up on the thread and see if some other fart has already posted what I wanted to add. That usually does the trick. Thanks all...

I so look forward to Monday’s open. Even a down day will be better than this OT bickering.
