Totally agree with this. Springfield is always too short of a stop coming from St. Louis but it’s a stretch to make it to Bloomington normal depending on weather, begin state of charge etc…..I’d be ecstatic with a charger at Lincoln! I also travel to Peoria a lot but usually south of the actual...

I’m on a work trip from StLouis. Funny enough I don’t recall it showing on the map just a few days ago and on my return trip home it popped up. So it might have just gone live. 🤷‍♂️

This location is live now. Charging as I type.

Preffered is putting it lightly. DUMB DUMB DUMB location that does nothing to alliviate the crowded current charger because all the traffic goign thru there is mostly going north south on 55. Im not driving clear across the city across Springfield crappy roads and a hundred stoplights to...

If this is the spot this is completely terrible location. As someone who runs the I55 North South corridore route ta V3 supercharger is badly needed in the springfield region with direct access off of the interstate. THe current charger gets full often and is also off route when traveling the...

Wow thats amazign effiency. Im on inductions and never get anywhere near that unless weather is really mild and im going 50mph or under. My lifetime is about 290wh/m i do about 75% or maybe more highway interstatedriving, so to be expected but your seems more like model 3 efficiency!

Sensors go bad. Its not a Tesla thing, happens on all cars. THats most likely whats wrong. We didn't used to have these and would have to manually check tire pressure occasionally, oh the horror lol. Should be covered under warranty. But these will all go bad eventually over time, out of...

Wont happen. Buy Engenext upgrade and you can have drift mode.

We've had a worse than normal winter here as far as sleet ice and snow goes in the St.louis, MO area. I think our winters are simialr to the DC area overall in terms of bad weather? I can say the stock goodyears on the 20's got me through unscathed, but it definitly could be better. I dont...

I stopped by 2 days ago (wed) and there was a guy working. He said by end of next week it would be done, for what its worth.

Has anyone been by here recently to see if construction has started? THis location will be much appreciated for me on my occasional work trips to Louisville as my destination is farly nearby before turning around an heading back home to St.Louis.

I'd be really surprised if this wasn't up and running by then honestly but you never know....that't a good 6 weeks away. But sometimes something causes things to get hung up....

Went by yesterday (stopped for gas yuck!! lol) It didn't look like much had changed from the photo posted above so I didnt snap a new one. I agree as stated above based on the way its cut out they might be waiting on a prefab section to come and just drop right in here.

These look excellent! you should consider makign these and sellign them. Im not liking what Im finding out there so far....

ELON TIME!!! hahahah

THis is such good news. Lately it seems once construction has started on these midwest ones it goes pretty damn fast will porbably be up and running within a couple months i bet

Just got my 1st work assignment in the area that Ill be travelign to from STL, not looking forward to it but Ill make it. Ill defintly have to utilize one of the level 2 chargers for an hour or more to give me the spare juice to make it back to mt vernon Supercharger. Cant wait for this one...

Not sure whos in charge of doing it but cant this one be changed to an orange cone at this point? I mean a new pads has been poured and all the components delivered to site, pretty sure this qualifies as under construction....

Yeah I wonder if the driver actually helped unload the cabinets and not the actual individual chargers.

No way this is only going to have 2 stalls. Lowest ive seen anywhere is 4 or 5 I think. Most new installaions are 6 or 8. Along a major traveled route from stl to Chicago. Just because he helped unload two doesnt mean there will only be two. Very unlikely.

I actually drove by there yesterday on a work trip. No construction or any sort of signs of construction has started. No markings on ground, flags or anything of the sort. Its a super nice spot the gas station inside is really nice, clean restrroms, a little gift shop area, all very clean and...

Ill be charging at home (when I get mine) but I travel regionally for work quite often so the home charge will only go so far. Lots of supercharging for me. Likely about 1/3 to 1/2 my charging will be at superchargers I am guessing. Thats why it somewhat concerns me....

Just laid down a deposit on demo Model Y there. I'm form St.Louis. Is there anyone that lives nearby the Tesla store there that wouldnt be too much out of your way to go by and take a look at the vehicle for me in person? Maybe even talk on the phone or video chat while your there? Id be...

Wow. Yor right that seems expensive, i was under the impression supercharging, at least around the midwest was relatively cheap. (due to our relatively cheap enegy prices. I was expecting soemthign around the mid to high .20s per kwh. .40 per kwh is more expensive than Electrify America...

This is great news!! At lest good progress. I feel like they will move things along quickly , hopefully. All the other installations recently in the midwest have moved fairly quickly it seems.

I honestly think this is how most would use them, only in places where there isnt a supercharger nearby. Electify America and others typically are quite expensive charging rates form what Ive seen compared to Teslas rates also so theres no incitive to not use a supercharger, plus the ease of...

Would pavers really be cheaper than just pouring a slab? I dont know those costs offhand but seems like it would be more labor heavy, similar ground prep then hand laying and leveling pavers vs a quick level pour? Oh well i dont care either way so long as it gets done. Oh we definitly need...

Pavers? Really? That seems so strange to me and cant say i've seen that as of yet on any of the other sites....I guess it'll look nice. Little bit fancy for...Collinsville, IL lol

On the road for work today, stopping by all of the Ave of the saints locations as I go. There was awork truck and 1 guy out working on it today.

So glad for this one to be up and running along with the others along the Avenue of the Saints route. Just a few months ago this drive from st.louis to Rochester where I have good friends would have been a tough stretch now theres multiple stops with another to open soon!! Cant wait to get my...

Ill try to run by in the next day or two I'm pretty close but its sorta out of the way unless I purposely go by it....theres another in here that seems to go by fairly often as well....

Wow, thats a stretch. I realize you could back up further or be firther to the left towards the line, but the placement of these is suspect. It looks nice but way less wiggle room with those short cords than the standard back in straight against the supercharger style.....

Progress..... I drove by yesterday and was meanign to pull over and take a look and got distracted and had already passed it when I realised where I was....

Good to see more in our area/midwest. The one in Collinsville is underway as well. However I still think this area really needs one along the I64 corridor on the Illinois side of the river. Fairview, O'falllon, Shiloh area. Someone traveling east/west along I64/I70 has Mt.Vernon, IL and...

I would agree with that. I reallywish they would have partnered with major gas station chains early on. Really makes the most sense.....

THey had their whole parkign lot tore up last time, maybe for a tank repair or something? I would imagine they would want that all finished up before other construction going on possibly...

Same here from STL. Travel this route, or to Evansville a lot for work! Placed an initial order for a long range MY, may have to push out delivery...

Looks to be too far off the interstate.....This is the biggest thing that bothers me about a lot of supercharger locations. The other one in Columbia is a pretty quick juant off the exit ramp. This one looks to be through probably at least 4 or more stop lights in town....but its good to see...

I was just there yesterday and saw the light pole didnt even notice the curb cut out!

Awesome. When I saw the container sitting there i figured it was about to start, now it looks like things are rolling forward. Even though this one is really close to me, it will be good to have, especially early on if/when i get my tesla because I probably wont pre-install a home charger...

Currently there is now a shipping container on site sitting right along the side of the lot where the chargers are likely to be installed. So possible progress on moving forward with contruction.

Hi all, been lurking around here for a while. Made an account and haven't posted much but wanted to say hi. Been a fan of Tesla for years now, following Elon and his companies. Really hoping my next vehicle purchase when the time comes to be full electric, and cant see myself buying anythign...

From a physical standpoint, no. Drove by yesterday still looks like photo posted above. Not sure f anyone has more insight on the permit or whatver....

Good to see, although this one is so close to home for me its probably a moot point. Still good to see more going in. And Ill have to drive by here to keep an eye out on it for others as well and post anythign I see.

Yeah, I have time, I still want to get more use of my current vehicle, it wouldnt be the best idea to order now for me anyways but im thinking Q3 or Q4 of 2021 Id like to at least have an order placed. Who knows maybe by then there will be more new u[dates on the Y as well. But as of now they...

I NEED this to be a reality before placing my order for a new Model Y. I travel around the midwest region for work and the Evansville area I get out to quite a bit. Its too far for a safe round trip in all potential condtions from the supercharger in Mt.Vernon IL. All my other routes are...
