Good to hear that. I hope the view wasn’t too cloudy for you. Having started this thread, to see what it might be like in Texas, I panicked when seeing the forecast get bad for most of Texas, so we flew to Boston, rented an ICE, and stayed in NH with relations and drove to northern Vermont on...

There's another thread where a few people are talking about charging when travelling to see the Total Eclipse Tesla supercharging during solar eclipse? but I wanted to get info specifically for west Texas from those who know the situation there. My main concern is that travelling from New...

Recent new site installations have not had the backstops, and in some cases, they were put in and then removed before the site was commissioned. The reason posted elsewhere is that Cybertrucks and probably other non-Tesla vehicles cannot reach the cable when using the v3 stalls if the stop is...

It seems we have seen this happening at other new sites too. Bumpers in, then bumpers out. I wonder if the change is to accommodate non-Tesla vehicles at a future date. Seems likely to allow for accidental damage though. Good to see this SC finally turned on. Nearly 14 months from breaking...

Can one of moderators move the map pin on supercharge.info a bit further north to direct people to the right area of the parking lots at Freddie's? I forget their handles. Also this thread title can now change to "LIVE" from "under construction". Here's a black oval marking the area where the...

Darn it, @PLUS EV , can’t you let someone else get first charge for a change? You go everywhere, I go nowhere so this was my most likely chance for that honor. 😉

If only it had "magic socks", but sadly it doesn't have magic docks for CCS charging either.

It’s big, it’s green, it’s here! No lights on the stalls though, so not active yet. Maybe soon (1 to 2 weeks?). No spot for a meter either, maybe these days the metering is inside the switchgear cabinet. Also no magic socks on the pedestals, not that I expected them.

I just realized that except for the disabled stall (with the standard blue ADA sign), all the other posts with "Tesla charging only" sign have gone! What does that mean? Back-in bumpers instead?

More pictures. Switchgear cabinet is in place and rest of concrete work is done. All pedestals have a “Dunn Lumber” plastic bag secured over them, very amusing! Dunn Lumber is just a block away. They must have not had the normal Tesla covers available. Finally the stall furthest to the right...

I’ve been coming to the area most summers for 15 years and 7-devils is a must-visit every trip. I’ve never felt unsafe late at night there. I’ve not seen cloths strewn about either.

Hate the autocorrect. Love the idea that there might be “dog tickets” involved. 🐶🐕🐩🦮🐕‍🦺

Updates as of today, three DC cabinets are in place and concrete work is on going for the transformer and switchgear (no sign of that cabinet on site), although some of it was covered for the first time today, probably due to rain starting this evening locally. Stalls are paved and striped with...

Concerning the conduits, we do know that with new V3/V4-compatible pedestal bases that there is a second larger conduit used compared to v2/v3 installations. I can't tell from the one photo whether the pedestal base seen matches what I've seen on other threads where we know it's the new type...

Looks like it’s been a while since anyone has commented on Bothell, but I was getting a roofing quote from a company today and the guy rolled up in a model 3. So of course I had to ask him about it. He does about 200 miles a day and the company got them when gas was pushing $6 a gallon. He...
