    Good idea. It will help others.

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    Here is an interesting take by PlugShare, regarding the Bay City SC: "8 stall Tesla Supercharger station at the east end of the Meijer parking lot. Lots of dining and shopping plus a hotel within walking distance. *** Note *** As of Nov 4, 2016, this Supercharger location is still not...

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    Interesting. Problem is knowing when it is up and when it is down. I will be going back up around the end of the month. Hopefully by then everything will be good.

    I used the state park charger this morning. I didn't try the SC.

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    There were workers at the site last week that told a Tesla driver that the SC would be operational by 11 am last Friday. See above on this page. Didn't happen. SCs are a promised part of the Tesla experience. Beyond the Bay City supercharger, Lansing was supposed to get an SC this season...

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    There is no confusion on my part. This SC construction began in mid-August. It is now 2.5 months later and the station is inoperable. Given the number of SCs in operation, one would think that Tesla could complete a relatively simple operation in that period of time. Do they know what they are...

    This is getting quite annoying. But thanks for the heads up.

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    Happy to issue the alert. I will be traveling from Alpena, back to Bay City, and then on to Detroit a week from now. I have my fingers crossed. I felt bad for the guy who showed up at the park. He was somewhat elderly and was brand new to his Tesla, which he had shipped to Michigan from his...

    Another tesla user just pulled into the park for a charge. No luck for him either.

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    Just tried to charge at bay city. No go. Totally shut down. Now picking up a charge at state park. Crap.

    Bay City is "in", but it is not officially open yet, is it? I would like to think so by now.

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    The charger at the state park technically requires that you have a passport for using state parks, but no one ever asked me to show my registration. The station is an ev type charger, not a NEMA outlet. I attach to the ev cord a black plastic converter that came with my Tesla charging bundle...

    I was able to charge my car this morning at Bay City. For what it is worth pending official opening,

    Just to share, this morning I was able to charge my Tesla at Bay City. No one else was around. Hope it goes official soon.

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    I was just on PlugShare and noticed that they show the Bay City supercharger. However, the list shows a red block with the word "restricted" and the supercharger name is followed with "Coming Soon." This is on my iPhone. On my iPad there is no mention in PlugShare for the BayCity charger at...

    I too am hoping to use the charger next week. But who knows??

    Holy crap! This is fantastic! Thanks for the update.

    Supercharger - Bay City, MI

    I had an opportunity to swing by the Bay City Supercharger. Looks very good. One guy was there cleaning up. No sign of the transformer though. Here are a couple of pictures, one of which I think shows the footings for the transformer.... And I can't seem to figure out how to post a photo.....

    Thanks for the pics. I will be up in Bay City in about two weeks and I will stop by and take some pics at that time for posting here.

    I also took a spin through the area on Monday. Tom is right.

    Preference: Saginaw or Bay City Michigan Super Charger

    For myself, I would favor Bay City. I think the short drive off 75 is worth the 11 mile distance from Saginaw, even if the amenities are not great.

    Supercharger - Cadillac, MI

    I agree with the importance of a Bay City supercharger. It would be perfect for me as I travel several times a month up to Alpena. Especially in the winter months, a supercharger there would be a huge help to me. And the other coming stations also apparently coming in the spring would really...

    Supercharger - Cadillac, MI

    I agree with both js247 and tomsModelS. A supercharger at Bay City and one at Grayling would really open up the eastern side of the lower peninsula. I have a feeling that one supercharger may go into a Meijer's at Bay City, hopefully in the spring.

    Supercharger - Grand Rapids, MI

    Joel: I am curious. Where does one access the up-to-date list of supercharger stations to be installed?

    May 16 - Tesla Owners rally in St. Joseph, MI

    Vexar: I plan to come over to the event with my Model S that I bought last September. Not sure I will be there early on Sat as I am driving from a northern suburb of Detroit. Brant Freer

    Album Art now missing except for Slacker under 6.1

    Ditto. Virtually no album art appears from my iPhone 6, when all the album art appeared prior to 6.1. Not the end of the world, but I did like seeing the art.
