See my reply above about why the specific plugs went out of service. it's not about winterizing, it's about an idiot population. Your example of the person with 30% who drove to another supercharger and probably passed 30 level 2 chargers along the way is another example of an Idiot.
Finally...
The cause has been known for a while. It's lazy, inconsiderate or incompetent drivers that throw or drop the plugs in the snow after charging. The warm plug melts the snow that goes inside the plug. Due to the extreme cold melted snow will flash freeze in the plug and now you have a charger out...
So the Chicago Tesla community needs to do it's best to put the chargers in their holders. If the chargers fall out or are dropped in snow right after charging the snow may get inside the plug. The plug is warm from charging so the snow may melt but due to the cold weather the melted snow will...
Below is a picture I took the other day of the construction. Google Maps here's the link with the street view so that you guys could verify the hedges and tree. I regret not taking a picture of the Target itself.
Oh ya oak Brook is everything wrong with modern suburbia traffic design. The entire town is boomerland, literally what they envision a city to be like. Mostly concrete, parking lots, and a car to go 2 blocks away. Horrible city that will die with the boomer. Good riddance!
Yea this can be somewhat true. A lot of highways here (i290, 294, 88) with easy access from the north via Roosevelt road. It's gonna be a hassle for people going EB i88 since they have to pass ~5 busy traffic lights to get there. All other directions it's a relatively quick detour via Roosevelt...
So yesterday 6 250kw bays did not work with multiple vehicles trying them. You plugged in, the car stated "starting to charge" then it would eventually fail. It would stay at "starting to charge" for a few minutes so it was a bit of a time waster. Just a heads up, this station is very...
You're not too bright are you? Do you know how 150kw chargers work when it's busy? 250kw is a time saver on a 1000 mile road trip. So yea I love 250 kw for reliability and speed. You fanboys hate to think critically don't you?
Free parking here, super busy! I had to wait for 5 min for a spot, then 3 more Teslas pulled up and had the queue up. 150kw sucks. Totally added about another 30-45 min to my 16 hour drive. We need more 250kw chargers to deal with this bs!
