Probably can report after charging so Tesla knows.

Although this can be seen as an expansion of the location, since it started in 2024, will it have to be V4 open to all stalls?

Thanks, please look for the transformer.

Thanks for the update. Other brands like Ford can also initiate charging from Tesla app now if they for whatever reason don't use plug & charge.

Tesla just opened this to Fords. Tesla also says people will be able to pay and charge using credit cards on V4. Is anyone close to check if the payment terminals are active? Thanks.

Looks all set except for the transformer. Still fenced as of 2/25.

2022 RWD model 3 did 179kW on the opening day. I think that was the highest number I've seen.

Some more details. Note the difference between the 500V and 1000V NACS plugs. The 1000V version doesn't have the center pins the in DC holes.

Well, there is no transformer but there was a big diesel generator.

Someone with a telephoto Lense? Is the MagicDock integrated? Thanks.

Actually now you can report supercharger problem. It's a little convoluted. You need to be able to charge at least, even at 20kW. Then in the app supercharger billing page, at the top you can report your last supercharger experience.

Could this be hardware+software support of a passive CCS/Tesla adapter, one similar to the Tesla CCS adapter but in reverse? If V3 superchargers' hardware can be made to support CCS protocols, it is just a matter of software support and an adapter then. They don't have to install new cables.

I saw the 2 square pits as well. Perhaps they are for trees?

My experience with a BMW and an Audi was that both OE AGM battery lasted 7-8 years. I'm really impressed. (I live in a mostly moderate climate.)

It's 17c all day. A nearly location has off-peak discounts and the nav screen shows that info.

Just found out on my navigation screen that the price for this SC is down to just 17c/min from I think 31c/min. This is almost comparable to home charging. I don't know if they really charge at that price though. All the other chargers around is about 30c/min or at least have a tiered price rate.

Great! I rode motorcycle to that part of Oregon before. Now I can go from I5- Bend- Burns to I84!

My best guess is that they are trying to say: * When CCS combo 1 is the only available plug, you cannot charge the US market Teslas. In this case, you will need our CCS adapter. * The adapter has two sides. One side is the CCS combo 1 receptacle, the other side will plug in to Tesla cars...

As of noon of Feb. 16th, 2021, this site and the Woodburn OR site have been marked unavailable for at least 4 days, probably due to the snow since the 12th.

As of noon of Feb 16th, 2021, this site together with the Salem OR site have been marked unavailable for at least 4 days.

Target opening in Q1 2021

It is very clear that a single V3 cabinet with 4 stalls won't be able to deliver 4 250kW at the same time, as the maximum AC input to a cabinet is 350kVA. In a station with multiple cabinets, they have the potential to deliver more as the cabinets can share DC power among them up to 575kW. That...

Yes, that sure can mess up quite some circuits. Thanks

Good to know that at least they warn you seriously before sending you the 200A firmware. I'm curious what caused the damage to the car. Could it be that there are different communication protocols running at different voltages, and messing up communication could lead to some interface chip...

Wondering which firmware version was the adapter with when it seemed to trigger the car issues? I felt warm when the owners wanted to help make this work but there is a real risk here.

I guess, totally a guess, that SETEC wanted to make an adapter, but almost no public DC chargers in China is CCS1, so they have to go to other countries to do field development. S. Korea is probably the most coinvent one. So they found someone local to help. After testing, they released it not...

For everyone's information: I charged here to 98% in a Model 3 LR AWD, went to the death valley, Zabriskie Point, then to the badwater basin (the lowest land point), then drove up to the lone pine supercharger at 22% charge. I or actually the car was doing mostly 5 over speed limit.

No :)

If the system thinks 8 stalls are down, can we get free charge? :)

Interesting. The car nav says only 4 are available with no one charging. I did tri #5, 8, 9, 12 from the left of the picture and all were working. Yea, I left a chance that the #6 7 10 11 were the dead ones :)

Friday is the charging day, it looks like.

Yes. That can be a great feature. Tesla should be able to estimate how many people are waiting at a supercharger location and display on the screen.

As of noon, they are still busy with the stalls. The Tesla energy car has a temporary California plate. When I left, a grey model 3 came and was seemingly checking things out as well :)

Interesting the Tesla charging only signs are still missing.

The cabinets are being installed. The parking signs are up. Busy site.

Right across an auto parts store and a driver licensing office, seems convenient :)

They were poring concrete for cabinets. Parking stops are in place. Tesla charging only sign posts are up. No sign of transformer yet.

P = √3 x 193 x 480 = 160kVA, This is actually the very basics of 3-phase system power systems. The total power formula is P = √3 × pf × I × V. Where pf is the power factor, I is the current, V is the voltage and P is the power. Let's say pf=1, then P = √3 x 193 x 480 = 160kVA. You can't...

3 cabinets seem to be on site. Again, fingers crossed for something green showing up soon.

That was QUICK! My pictures with just two stalls installed was from yesterday 12pm. They installed the rest in one afternoon it seems.

Two stalls are up.

Looks like they changed the fee structure here. Pricier during peak hours. Found out the same for a few other sites in Seattle area as well.

The site is almost clear now. Only 2 large cardboard box are on site. Looks like those are parking wheel stops but I'm not sure. No worker on site mid-day. Looks like we are waiting for charging equipment to be arrive.

Hi @eladts, why is there a limit on how many V3 cabinets can be linked? Each has a DC input/output; why can't they just chain up as many as they want. Don't tell me the control software has a 3-bit variable :) Thanks

Pedestals down, pipes in. No electrical equipment on site.

Hey @mociaf9, thanks for the discussion. I think I got it wrong to think that batteries are in side cabinets. Back to the topic, looking at the cabinet specifications, It is probably wrong to assume that you'll get "dedicated" or "not shared" 250kW. Many claim V3 is non-shared 250kW. But...

Please explain that you got maximum 350kVA power input, how can you deliver 4 x 250kW = 1000 kW power output? BTW, there are some "mobile" superchargers Tesla deploys in holiday season, where the stalls are on a flat bed and are towed to places by semi trucks. They are not powered by the...

I think it's a myth that V3 is "not shared". 0) When getting high power supercharging, like 150kW or 250kW, you are mostly getting power directly from the batteries in the white cabinets (the big ones, not the red/white stalls that you get your charging plugs from.) 1) Is it possible for 4...

They are digging.

You beat me! I go to the plaza on average 3 times a week, yet I missed this! Thank you.
