Between this site & Upland there will be 80 chargers in the Claremont area. What a nice change!

Great pics. Rapid progress with this site. Thanks for the update. I hope it’s open later this spring.

Glad to see this site under construction. We visit relatives in Claremont two or three times each year. This site opens up more options for us.

Recently an abandoned restaurant adjacent to this site was torn down & a Maverik travel center was built. The bathrooms are much better than the Best Western Motel. The convenience store is large. There’s also air for tires although there’s a charge. A big improvement from the previous isolated...

What puzzles me is that this doesn’t happen in our M3LR. Same software in both.

Just updated the software in our MYLR. No change. Software version: 2023.26.9

Yes. I set the software updates to ”advanced”. I forgot to mention that this only occurs when we use streaming music.

We have two Teslas, a 2020 M3LR & a 2023 MYLR. Both have the same audio settings to the best of my knowledge. However when I exit the M3 with the audio system on a song will pause & then resume when I re-enter the vehicle. In the MY a song will start over when I return to the car. Any...

Yeah I Yeah I almost had that happen when I was eastbound from Nebraska to Oregon. Rock Springs was offline part of that day. Fortunately it was repaired by the time I got there, & I had to consider howI was going to make it to Evanston. I finally decided that I’d spend the night in Rock...

There are some but not many places on I-80 That would be obvious stops. All of the current Superchargers are V2. With the enormous growth nationwide the lack of upgrades of charging infrastructure has become apparent.

This post is intended to be different from“Wyoming is Afraid of EV’s”. I did a search on Superchargers.info & noticed that Tesla has not added a Supercharger in Wyoming in three years. We drive across Wyoming via I-80 several times a year to visit relatives in Nebraska. It’s doable in our LR...

Although residents of Idaho certainly use the Superchargers it’s those that pass through Idaho, Utah & Wyoming from the west coast on the way to points east & the west bound travelers that put so much pressure on the network. While we need more stops on the Interstates we also need more...

Right place right time. Good photos. This is going to be a fast build out.

Ordered a white MYLR with black interior OD 1/21 EDD1 Feb - Mar EDD2 3/21 - 3/31 EDD3 4/10 - 5/15 Tesla must have been slammed after the price reduction. Kind of a nice problem to have. I spoke to a sales associate this week who said that while sales have slowed somewhat from mid January they...

Work continues on the public Superchargers. These photos were taken 2/25/23.

Work continues on the superchargers. Trenching is being done parallel to the. Mission Street sidewalk. No major electrical equipment installed yet. Looks like it will be a while before it’s completed.

Unknown. Depends on when the IRS makes an announcement. All they’ve said is “March”.

Under normal circumstances Tesla works toward a defined date such as the end of a quarter. Distance matters as the farthest orders are done first & they work to eventually fill orders at less distance from the factory. This time they can’t work toward a defined date as the IRS has just said...

Ordered a white LR on 1/21/23. Have an EDD of March 4-March 31. I’m amazed how much demand has been generated by the price cuts. The sales center where I ordered it was very busy & I wonder if it has slowed down since then.

Drove by yesterday. No major changes although it looks as though they have been working on wiring the stalls, cleaned up the site & removed the dumpster.

They’re baaack! A crew from LES was leaving when I took these photos. Progress continues, but weather may delay work for several days.

Thanks for the update. If it’s simply a matter of redoing the pedestals it should be finished relatively soon. I’ll be there in a couple of weeks. I hope to be able to use the new supercharger as it’s a little closer to where we stay.

This photo was taken from the entrance off Mission Street. The old Nissan of Salem sign is still on the post. It would look nice in someone’s office inside. Work continues inside the building.The trench for the superchargers is on the left side of this photo. It has been filled in & temporarily...

I’m having a problem with the download. It’s stuck in a loop. The download has been going on for several days. On the phone app it says it’s downloading 2022.40.4.2 & in the car it shows that the current software 2022.40.4.1 is the most up to date software available. Any ideas how I can break...

It’s at an old Nissan dealership site. I drove by there twice last week & observed work being done to the interior of the building. There is also temp paving over the trench in the parking lot to the supercharger area. I’m going to guess that the supercharger won’t be installed until the...

So what does all of this mean? The large cabinets seem to be still in place. Could there have been a serious code violation such as undersized conduit?

I plan to stay at the hotel anyway so I don’t care about speed. This is a great addition for those staying & it frees up spaces for those just passing through. A great idea! I hope they make it permanent.

Great news! I hope I can charge this weekend.

This is a second location at another Safeway in Hood River. This was actually supposed to be the original supercharger in Hood River but the agreement fell through & then was revived after the other site was completed.

Between the two sites are 124 stalls. There must be a tremendous amount of demand on I-10.

Lots of change at this site. They are very close to opening. The first set of photos were taken 11/14/22. It is difficult to get photos because it’s a small parking lot at a busy fast food restaurant. Next set of photos taken 11/22/22. All construction equipment removed & paving completed. There...

Hey they’re slower but it beats waiting in line for an open spot. I’m going to stop there after Thanksgiving. Its a necessary stop on the way to Oregon. I stopped in Tremonton on my way to Nebraska earlier this month. The new chargers weren’t in use but the plastic was removed and they appeared...

Yeah they seem slow to Tesla owners but they are still more than a Bolt can use….. Perhaps they are intended to take pressure off the other Barstow chargers. They won’t charge as fast as the other chargers but at least you won’t be waiting in line as long. Local owners may find them useful.

Well done video. Hope to be able to use the supercharger when I return from the midwest.

I wish I was able to use CCS. We bought our 2020 M3 in late December 2019 so unable to use the new CCS adapter. But I understand your original point. In Salem OR Tesla is building a second supercharger less than five miles from the current one that is located in a Target parking lot with...

I care about price but I also have to consider that getting to a destination is more important than price at an individual supercharger. Rates vary widely by region & time of day so there is little that one person can do to control cost of charging while traveling to a destination.

We’ve made several trips to Lincoln NE from our home in Oregon during the pandemic. There is one major route & price isn’t a consideration because until recently the superchargers were much farther apart. Time on the road is a larger issue for us. We have noticed higher rates in California &...

I stopped to charge Monday evening About 9:30. The bathrooms were open. Great place to charge not a lot of other cars. We bypassed the Springfield supercharger because it’s usually crowded & slow charge rate.

It’s hard to know. The appellant paid $150.00 to file something that was clearly not going to change any decision. My opinion is that he has done some work for local dealers & wanted to curry favor with them. He seemed to think that Tesla should put other types of chargers on a site they are...

Construction of the Supercharger has started. Temporary fencing has been placed around the outer perimeter of the parking lot where the Superchargers will be located. The excavation for the electric service has been done, but the lines haven’t been laid in the trench. As can be seen from the...

The excavators are there today. It doesn’t look like the are adding service to the building. They are doing some digging in the parking lot.

While there aren’t any pull through stalls at least there’s room to unhitch to charge. Some superchargers are in areas with limited access. This one’s a converted gas station with plenty of room to maneuver away from the stalls.

I don’t want to take this thread off track but I can confirm that there is a shortage of mobile technicians. I spoke to one last month from the Portland area who told me there are several openings in that area. Medford expansion will open up Southern Oregon and the most northern part of...

As the country transitions to an EV centered road system, having places for light trucks with trailers to charge may be something to consider. But we’re not in that place yet. This site will be well suited for the intended use, cars & light trucks without trailers. Semi trucks need lots of space...

I finally read the appellant’s submittal. It was vague & missed the requirements for an appeal. He spent $150.00 talking about what the city should do which avoided anything factual. What a waste of staff time & planning commission time as well.

there will be many more EV owners like her. She bought a vehicle without understanding how DCFC works or how the legacy auto giants have misled most consumers about charging while traveling.

It helps to have all of the information needed to rebut the poor arguments. Average daily traffic isn’t going to grow by 50% with the addition of this site, more like several dozen each day & some of those will probably stay at the hotel. With so many Teslas driving through Ashland this site...

Thanks for the clarification.

There has been an internal fight at supercharge.info & one of the major site finders, MarcoRP, has been removed as an editor. I think this is his Twitter site as he has moved entirely to Twitter. I don’t use Twitter either. Back to the subject of this thread. Lots of activity in the last couple...

This may be a situation where induction charging is useful.
