Looks like the Tesla website is calling this one live. Can anybody confirm? https://www.tesla.com/findus?v=2&bounds=42.259854666402234%2C-96.7810403125%2C41.7911012883485%2C-98.0993996875&zoom=11&filters=supercharger&location=33525

All that means is that a customs agent can be summoned to the airport if an international flight lands there.

Ah, you'll probably get the first in Soldotna that I was aiming for last summer. Flying and Turo sure would have been lower risk than trying to drive all the way there from Minnesota. Have fun!

Yeah, those are Magic Docks.

And this has come up before. Since European superchargers have CCS2 plugs, there have been some check ins from non-Teslas over there that have counted in the game. I don't know of any check ins using Magic Docks in the US.

The usual last hold ups are meters and transformers, if you could verify that.

Any Chicagoland spies around that can check on this one? It's been a minute since the last post.

I know I'm just playing in the minor leagues compared to others, but I think I'll be there again, too.

*checks calendar*

Infrastructure projects don't get turned around that quickly. I suspect these have been in the works for a while.

Evansville was in July 2020.

Check-ins for 2024-01-20 - Worthington - Oxford St, MN (#284) (First to check-in) Plenty of time for another adventurous soul to share the first.

And I grabbed 41 over this last trip to take 56th place. For now.

Check-ins for 2023-12-30 - Stevens Point, WI (#282) - Black River Falls, WI (#283) Wisconsin cleared, and that's it for the hunt.

Since the last set of pictures, transformers are in place and meters are on the switch gear cabinets, but it's still not live.

Stopped by today and not much progress. Switch gear is still in its packaging.

Check-ins for 2023-12-26 - Prairie du Chien, WI (#243) - Dubuque, IA (#244) - Ames, IA (#245) (First to check-in)

Going on a short hunt with my wife this week. Fair warning on Ames, IA today.

Compact? I wouldn't call the 3 compact, let alone any of Tesla's other vehicles. Maybe the original Roadster, but it doesn't work with the NACS plug. So weird.

Insane.

I had Impulse Performance put an alignment on my Model 3 after installing new coilovers from Unplugged Performance. I've also had EuroTech work on my suspension, so I'd assume they're comfortable doing an alignment as well.

I think it's actually 12. Today I noticed a couple more around the corner off to the left in the distance.

I drove through the whole ramp today, and all I could see was the destination chargers. There didn't seem to be any other construction happening, nor did I see signs of any other Tesla equipment. I didn't get a picture of the outside of the garage on the east side, but at a glance there was no...

Decided to clean up some "local" superchargers today. Check-ins for 2023-12-02 - Willmar, MN (#238) - Marshall, MN (#239) - Sisseton, SD (#240) - Fergus Falls, MN (#241) - Little Falls, MN (#242)

I plan on being untied within a month. Not sure if I'll end up tied with somebody else, though!

I was convinced but my wife wasn't. No shared first for me.

I was wondering if you'd get that one on your way west. I've been trying to find a good time to go get that green pin, but the 6 hour round trip from Minneapolis is difficult to fit in my life. You might just convince me to head over there this evening.

Admittedly, I didn't check the other floors of the garage after I saw that wall of destination chargers. Maybe there are superchargers being installed on higher floors, but I have my doubts.

It's a very nice set of destination chargers.

I think there's enough CHAdeMO/CCS coverage up there to make up for the lower Supercharger density. I have a CHAdeMO adapter I can loan out if you need it for a trip. I did a trip up the Gunflint years ago with my Tesla during a particularly brutal weekend in January and made it work.

Check-ins for 2023-10-29 - Owatonna, MN (#237)

So @MarkoC are you going to run and get this one tonight?

Check-ins for 2023-10-27 - Onamia, MN (#236) (First to check-in)

It works.

Heading to Onamia, MN for the first.

I should really get on Life360 so I can meet up when you guys come through Minnesota.

Vacuums at a Supercharger? I haven't seen that amenity before.

FWIW, I've never had an issue using ZEF chargers with my CHAdeMO adapter around Minnesota.

You basically drove right past me while I was camping with friends at Forestville/Mystery Cave State Park in southern MN.

The adapting-then-unadapting is mildly hilarious to me.

Are you referring to the Auburn Hills SC? That seems to be the closest to Clarkston. There are four other SCs that are closer to downtown Detroit on the US side than Auburn Hills. Detroit, Livonia, Northville, and Roseville. None are exactly in the downtown area, though.

When I went to Glacier two years ago, we charged in Great Falls and stayed at an AirBNB in West Glacier that had a 14-50 outlet outside their garage. Worked out well.

That's what I thought it was.

Check-ins for 2023-08-04 - Blaine, MN (#235)

Check-ins for 2023-07-28 - Portage la Prairie, MB (#234) Last one before home. I'm sure I'll pick up Blaine soon.

Check-ins for 2023-07-27 - Rocky View, AB (#226) - Strathmore, AB (#227) - Bassano, AB (#228) - Medicine Hat, AB (#229) - Maple Creek, SK (#230) - Swift Current, SK (#231) - Moose Jaw, SK (#232) - Regina, SK (#233)

Finally got my car back from the Edmonton service center, just in time to head homeward. All sorts of chargers west of Calgary that I'm leaving for another day. Check-ins for 2023-07-26 - Red Deer, AB (#224) - Red Deer County, AB (#225)
