Look at the first picture I provided in message #62. Four (4) urban Superchargers. … and a small forest of destination chargers. No commentary from me on high power or not. Edit: a few more details… here is a rerun of the picture I posted in #62: We are looking almost South here. SSE...

I was there in February. The chargers are in a public lot with no restrictions on access. If supercharge.info says “private access”, then I believe it is a mistake. Access to the entire island is difficult, but if you get there, there are zero restrictions on access to the chargers. The...

That’s actually a terrible location for the charge pedestals. There will be ICE problems and bad attitude issues.

… and I stopped at the Flyin C Ranch a few minutes later. No sign of actual or pending activity. I went inside but didn’t get to ask anybody about Superchargers - they were a bit busy.

I’m at Clines Corner now. There are 2 Francis Energy pedestals with CCS+Chademo. The point being that they aren’t against EV chargers, but merely picked the wrong brand for success. :-) I asked a cash register guy if they were perhaps going to add Tesla “EV” chargers and he pointed me to the...

In a few places, Tesla has installed Superchargers that are in restricted space for themselves - in service centers, at the Gigafactories, ... but I'm not aware of Tesla providing Superchargers for any third party's benefit (this rule possibly bent in Europe/Netherlands for an early nosecone...

This location rents Tesla Model 3 for $95/day: https://www.lanaicarrental.com/ Their stock photo shows a white one. I don’t know if there are others. I don’t know if this is a Larry Ellison company. There are other rental companies as well. Correction on a previous message: my wife says the...

I’m skeptical about limiting access on the destination chargers by VIN. The charging area was in a public area. No signs limiting access. Likewise the chargers at the 2 hotels. I’ve never seen a charger in a hotel or parking lot elsewhere saying that charging is free (or not) and I don’t see why...

Right, and note that most of the chargers on location are destination chargers, which I think we know don’t do any VIN check. The island has a population of about 3100 and many people have their own vehicle. There is no restriction on getting vehicles here, but getting real estate is very hard...

I’m on Lanai today, and found this Supercharger location. It is mostly destination chargers, plus 4 Urban chargers. My count might be off, but I tallied 21 on one side, 17 plus 4 Urban on the other. Please check my tally. No indication when, but this location has been up and online for some...

I’m there now. Nothing but a grassy lot between Lowe’s, Raising Canes and a bank. Appearance much the same as the photos above, except the grass is longer and the papaya trees a bit larger, so nothing visual to post. I see that some new CCS chargers are about to go online around the corner in a...

Thumbs up for checking on this. Hawaii has different needs for Tesla charging vs anywhere else in the world that I’ve been. The lack of chargers, and lack of support at the chargers (rest rooms, food…) means reduced interest in Tesla rentals. I was on Kauai last week, Maui this week, and I have...

I hope I’m not too late to the party. Somehow I got 180 pages behind, and decided that the message value here was worth catching up by reading every durned message rather than doing the “skip” option… PREDICTION A crime will be committed this year using a unique feature of the Tesla product...

I may be wrong here, and somebody correct me if so, but isn’t the Berlin Gigafactory 100% unionized? I thought they were according to German law. If this is the case, there’s no need for conjuring hypotheticals and doing straw man scenarios. On a related point, Scandinavia is right next door...

We could have a pool. Prize would be the same cuddly toy he doesn’t award for the ship location sweepstakes. I’ll take Friday Jan 5 07:30 GMT on the over/under. I forgot, who posted bail for him last time?

He usually takes the end of the quarter off. Hopefully he’ll return early in January with some good news about a new wine from Spain or a chalet in Switzerland.

Including updated information, this seems to suggest at least 3 RORO ships in transit over quarter’s end. If so, this is new behaviour for Tesla and verification of unrolling The Wave.

I'm guessing that you live in the Arctic. Home of the famous question "Could you please tell the court where you were the night of October 17 to March 13".

Yeah, have a look at the Quebec forums. (literally, not making it up).

Nothing from @Mr Miserable since November 13. Are you doing well? We miss you.

Ha ha. Yeah there’s a few. I’ve been to a dozen or so myself. Keep looking.

No meter present in the mount for it on the side of the transformer. The coming week is possible but I'd call it 7-14 days.

Say what?

You and a technician were onsite this morning at 05:45? Dedication on the part of both of you.

I stopped by there this past weekend. The stated address is the Panda Express. This is a very busy location and would be terrible for Superchargers. They would always be ICEd and would cause dissent from non-Tesla drivers. If this really is the address, I hope the chargers will be placed well to...

I stopped here twice today, on the way to and back between home and Stephenville for some world class chicken fried steak and ice cream for dessert at the Dutchman’s Hidden Valley. What a great day! Okay okay. The site looks complete as far as Supercharging goes. The concrete base between...

Ahem yes, Dutchman's Hidden Valley, as you said earlier. ... so we are now on the nav screen with a non-zero charging fee. This generally means that the site is permanently available with no more startup items to handle. I'm hoping to try it out tomorrow.

@corywright That’s your roadster? You and I dined together at the Dutch Pantry a couple of months ago, I think a Sunday afternoon. I think we had the gray MY out that day. Thanks for your updates. Very helpful.

You've done a great job keeping us up to date with photos - thanks. Please keep it up. Your picture seems to show that the meter is present. One thing to check on is whether or not it has power. It is in the gray box to the right of the transformer, facing the Supercharger stalls. There's...

Agreed, looks like his Twitter feed is suspended permanently but he came back to life at: https://teslanorth.com/2023/08/09/weekly-supercharger-by-marcorp/ … but none of the links to Supercharger info survived.

Steal from one, it’s plagiarism. Steal from many, it’s research. We’re all researchers here. Post the picture, give credit to the source.

After the transformer (or along with it) will be a meter. Then the transformer and meter need to be wired to the Tesla equipment (spotting the transformer and wiring it may or may not be the same people). Then inspections from a few people (paving/mechanical/electrical contractors (perhaps)...

More correctly, a concrete pad for a transformer. This is good progress, but I don't see a (new) big green box in your picture. Or a meter. etc.

The 16 slots on the West of the South entrance are working fine. The bank of 4 on the East are coned off, I assume not working. The location is live in the car nav. I have FUSC, so don’t know if they charge $$$ for electrons yet, but the site is very much online.

Looks like somebody’s trying to get something done but still no transformer, no meter and no power to the 12 V3 expansion stalls. The temporary urban chargers are still here. The restaurant is officially for sale with a big ole sign in front. I hope this transition doesn’t hurt the...

Okay but speculation on an upcoming strike was well known. Announcement of an upcoming strike vote happens before a strike vote.

You could be right but there’s also the possibility that everything on VIKING SEA as well as MORNING MARGARETA were built in roughly the same batch. Remember the WuWa video that showed thousands of cars waiting to load at the terminal, then VIKING SEA only loaded an estimated 250 cars. My belief...

PlugShare comments say the site was closed for a couple of days around May 31 for paving.

Quite an oddball location with 6 Tesla Supercharger stalls. My guess is that somehow the 2 Flo chargers share power with the Tesla chargers? Everything is powered now, online. According to PlugShare comments, the Flo units were slow to start operations. Here’s a picture with a little less snow.

Still no transformer, no meter. Cap’n, I’m givin’ her all she’s got. But no power!

In general, hotels are great hosts for destination chargers but IMHO not for Superchargers. There are really no positives that I see for a Supercharger at a hotel. I’d prefer to see Tesla stop pursuing these locations. I think we create more controversy and enemies of The Mission at hotel sites.

Part 2 of this story… Apparently VIKING SEA picked up only an estimated 250 or so of these cars (earmarked for Canada). It is underway right now, with an estimated arrival of July 3. You can track it here. There is the possibility of several labour strikes being staged in Canada, and it seems...

Today is June 30. I’m curious from a shipping standpoint, are these 3 ships the complete worldwide list of ships carrying Teslas over the Q2/Q3 boundary? I’m trying to roughly determine inventory cars for end of Q2. Are any destined for Canada besides the light load on VIKING SEA? [reference to...

No. The Wave is a result of differing delivery times between a local sale vs an export. A car made in China but delivered to the customer in Sweden spends about a month on a RORO ship and truck or train. A car made in China on Tuesday can be delivered to a Chinese customer on Wednesday (ha...

Storm's. Awesome burger place. Also the Dutch Pantry (?) or whatever its called, just north of town. We drive there now and then for lunch. Check out the tubular bells. Hamilton would be the perfect Supercharger spot for our longer sojourns to Stephenville for chicken fried steak and...

Good info. What have you done with homero?

Yeah, MIL lives in Florida. We stopped by again this afternoon. Still no-go. No power to the meter.

Shipping info from twitter from earlier on June 7: Transcript (for those who are blocked from seeing it): Launch of a new service between Zeebrugge (ICO) and Valenton (CAT) for TESLA.This train, carrying 240 Model Y or Model 3 vehicles, replaces 40 trucks on the road! Starting tomorrow, more...

… and Waco TX (“Bellmead”) was expanded from 12 (?) V2 to 22 total V2/V3.

Ditto for me yesterday. Everything looks ready to go but no power to the pedestals. This hotel seems to have an undersized parking lot. I see some ICE problems brewing. I actually plugged in just to make sure (was running low) but no juice. We had to get our electron fix down the road in...
