Anything new from Owatonna?

Any updates? Might stop by on my way back to Minnesota next week.

I cannot imagine the loss. Sincere condolences for you and your family.

Just so happens 4p is when we are passing thru so we will be there for the ribbon cutting.

I did get a good laugh out of my pic being used. My dog is asking for royalties. And yes, it was taken last Saturday when they were not running. Being a Nebraska native I especially liked it was picked up by Tesla Owners Nebraska. Hope it’s all confirmed today and we can all start using this...

Still not activated.

My helper says no charge. I spin thru on Tuesday I’ll stop again and hope for a better update.

I’ll swing by tomorrow afternoon(Saturday) on my way thru to Omaha. If it’s anything like the Minnetonka supercharger up here in the twin cities that one took two weeks to get energy flowing after the initial install of the stalls. Hope this one is quicker than that.

That NW corner of Iowa is a desert for charging options. Hopefully that will change in the near future. Some restaurant or bar around Okoboji should install a Tesla destination charger at a minimum. I know you could drive up to catch either Worthington or Sherburn superchargers but that’s not...

Thanks for the update. That old 4 stall was not exactly reliable. The new location is a much better scene at least in my estimation.

Congrats on your Model 3. You will love it. Thanks for the picture. It’s great to see some progress. It’s been a very long time coming.

And so it goes... see you in 2021

Perhaps we can get Target interested in hosting the Superchargers? Its not as ideal a location as off of Lakeport being that it’s another exit further away from I29 but this is getting a little frustrating that nothing is being done. Any locals have any new info? This thread has gone silent.

It appears the two Chargepoint J1772 stalls will be just to the left(west) of the Tesla stalls. They are still in boxes however.

Well this didn’t take long. Stopped by on the way home today. 4 of the 8 stalls are up. Talked briefly to what seemed to be the foreman of the installing crew. Very nice guy. They are from Kentucky. They were the same guys that installed the ND Superchargers. Said they will be completed by...

So it appears to be the Target parking lot right? The Lunds/Byerlys grocery store is there as well.

I’m assuming so but I only tried one of the 4 working. There were 2 other Model 3s charging at that time.

Update as of 6p yesterday. The four lighted chargers are still the only ones working. On my car they aren’t showing up yet so I couldn’t precondition the battery for charging but did get 203 kW briefly at 17% battery which for my mid range model 3 is the highest yet. I started at 17% and my...

Had a friend who shops at that Target ask me why the Tesla chargers are always broken. Sigh.

Has anyone tried the Chargepoint chargers to see if those are up and running?

Just an update. I’m currently charging here. The Barn is still closed. There is a van there next to restaurant. I’m assuming work is being done. Like earlier posts there are a couple gas stations nearby and the Cornstalk Cafe across the street to satisfy your rusty spoon cravings. My MR 3...

Minnesota here. I went thru last winter with my model 3. The car is garaged when not in use and will still not see full regen until next April due to our cold. Just normal to fully protect the battery. Btw, the ability to pre warm my car and the seats up here is golden. It’s a great cold weather...

I pass by this location every day for work which is nice although I personally won’t have any need for them. I know it will be a fantastic location for many especially those living in apartments. But those cats from Fremont better hurry up because that area looks superb for the snow plows to...

Amen! I frequently drive from the western suburbs of the twin cities to Omaha via Worthington and Sioux City. In the summer my mid range model 3 has no trouble making the Worthington to Omaha trip but winter would be a challenge. Sioux City will make this a very stress free trip. It will also...

Spring in Nebraska.

LR and you are golden. A perfect use case for a long range electric car with autopilot right here. Your drive is going to be 10x more relaxing and a ton less expensive.

Received 12.1.2 today. Two things I’ve observed. My release notes have no mention of 150 kW Supercharging enabled(mid range model 3) and the speed limit sign at least on a main 50 mph section near my house is now listed properly as 50 by the car(used to think it 40 mph). I’m curious now to drive...

A snowy Minnesota this year with my MR. Handled great but I always use snow tires.

Audi makes a fantastic product no doubt. All 204 EPA miles of it.

None here as well and 2 months, 4000 miles in the saltiest, dirtiest ‘Minnesota conditions and those darn white seats are absolutely pristine.

Mid Range Approx 50 miles each day of driving I’m the guy in the neighborhood who has to mow his lawn a different direction each time because life is too short to mow the same way. Given that I charge 65% one night 70% the next 75% etc up to about 90% and back down. And a side note since I’m...

If you use the Dows Supercharger you won’t have any issues getting to Orange City. Just have to use the backroads across the great state of Iowa.

Not that anyone cares but I caught a home run of Eddie’s at Wrigley Field in Chicago 1989. He was playing for the Dodgers towards the end of his amazing career. Being a Cubs fan I threw the ball back. I have hilarious footage of it from WGN and ESPN to this day.

Had my MR home delivery on the 14th. My rep spent at least 30 minutes going over things in the car etc. He was very knowledgeable and the signing took perhaps 2 minutes. 8 days 700 miles already. It’s fantastic.

I had 2 reservations. In September I cancelled one of the two(my MR arrives on the 17th). I was surprised when the $1000 check arrived in about 3 weeks.

Received text yesterday morning 12/7 for home delivery 12/14. Due to my schedule I delayed that until 12/17. Minneapolis Area Line waiter Ordered 10/20 MR White/White Aero

3/31/16 line at Eden Prairie, MN 10/20/18 Ordered MR White ext White int 18" Aero No updates yet Have my Nokian Hakkapeliitta r3 with dedicated wheels set ready for Minnesota winter

Fantastic video. Thanks

Some good ideas. Keep them coming! Minnesota winters are just plain cruel to garage floors and the evse cables that touch them. I still haven’t finalized where my NEMA 14-50 will be placed in the garage to best charge my upcoming Model 3 and a Volt. This type of ingenuity really helps with this...
