Gather up your rain gear (maybe) and join us for the Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening of the Ocean Shores Supercharger! This Saturday in Ocean Shores. Mention Tesla and get a room discount at the Canterbury Inn. Show off your car to the uninformed, the locals will be there to view the big...

Good news! As of today (Oct 10, 2023) Washington's newest Supercharger station is now in operation. The Tesla guys were there earlier today to do the final inspection and to energize the system. It's probably not showing up on your maps yet, but it's all working! So, make your plans for an...

And that's another reason to vote for Pullman in the Tesla Supercharger voting...

Things are progressing quite nicely. They should be pouring concrete in the next couple of days, then it's a three day rest before the installation continues. Looking like just a few weeks away. Once a date is set, get ready for an official grand opening where everyone will be invited!

That's the official word! It could also mean that any vehicle with a Tesla Charger hose can use it too.

Here's the current official status of the upcoming Supercharger station in progress in Ocean Shores. An excerpt from the last Ocean Shores City Council Meeting. The actual location will be in the parking lot directly West of the Ocean Shores Convention Center. Directly behind the long...

Yea, Aberdeen at night is sketchy, BUT much better than it used to be. There was a filthy porta potty on the property that the druggies used. Plans have been scrapped for a Welcome/Visitors Center across the street in the now vacant lot. So, best place for a restroom is the Rite Aid a block...

The host is the City of Ocean Shores. It's on adjacent property to the Ocean Shores Convention Center, on the backside of a private commercial building that has a number of retail stores. The visitor center is at a different location.

I have free supercharging on my 2015 MS, and I don't get the pricing info. So, tell me if the cost is .35 do you multiply that by time or what the car says its sucking in? But, it seems that the incoming power varies according to the charge.

At least there's no gas spill!

Am I able to transfer my reservation number to someone else?

Here's what my SOP would be if I were a local..... go into the garage shortly before closing, say about a half hour prior to closing.. Stay in the car, do my charge and then leave after the toll booth closes. It's like a safety thing that you can get OUT of a garage after hours.

I have the TeslaFi app. I LOVE it! My electricity is 8.5 cents per kwh from my PUD. The program does the math for me. So far with 864 home charges, it has cost me $402.33 total for probably 4 years. In January, I had 46 charges at home (it's plugged in all the time) added 168 kwh, and a...

I live in a rural coastal area that often gets some pretty nasty winter storms. The PUD power generally is pretty good, but when it does go out, its between a few hours and a few days. I would be thrilled if I could power my fridge, freezer and my 110 pellet stove.

The layout is the same as in Issaquah at the Fred Meyer parking lot. Everyone backs in and the number of Superchargers takes up less linear space. I passed thru Olympia yesterday, and would have used it had it been open!
