    Supercharger - Sault Ste. Marie, MI

    I spoke to a tech at the Esky SC today, and he said the plan is to open Esky and Marquette this week, before the 4th, and the Soo will follow next week or the week following.

    I spoke with a tech at the Esky charger today and he reiterated that the plan was to get Esky and Marquette operational this week, before the 4th, and the Soo will follow next week or the week following.

    I drove through Esky today. Stopped by the SC site, and there were two techs working on getting them ready to go. One said that the plan was to open Esky and Marquette this week, to be ready before the 4th, and that the Soo will follow next week or the week following. They had the backs off...

    I passed through Escanaba today and made a pass through the parking lot to see the chargers for myself. There were two trucks on site from Wright electric, but at first I didn't see anyone around. I noticed the door to the transformer was open, and as I looked closer (look under the white...

    Is anyone in the Escanaba area that can take a drive through Meijer's to see if they started yet?

    I drove through the Escanaba Meijer's parking lot yesterday. No sign of any construction yet... Hopefully it'll start soon if it's supposed to be open in Q3-21.

    Excellent news. We've been waiting for this for a very long time. According to Supercharger.info, the Escanaba location permit was issued 936 days ago!

    Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

    If they understand the need, why has it been 888+days since the permit was taken out? They've put up thousands of chargers around the world in that time-why not Escanaba?

    Who did you call at Tesla? How did you find a number to actually talk to a human? Perhaps it would help if more of us called and reiterated the need...

    Anybody heading through Escanaba in the near future to check possible progress at Meijer's? There has been no report for about a month so maybe something is happening?

    Went through Esky on 6/28 and checked out Meijer's parking lot-no sign of any activity still...

    The "official" place to contact is supercharger[@]tesla.com, but the last time I contacted them about the Esky SC I got what appeared to be a canned non-answer. Maybe if enough of us send an email someone will notice that we're the last corridor in the country to get complete superchargers!

    I went through Esky yesterday and drove through the Meijer's parking lot. Still no sign of any construction or any hint as to the location of the superchargers. Let's all email Tesla to give this one some priority!

    Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

    Here's the "response" I got from Tesla on my email, asking when they would get to the Escanaba charger: Hello Thank you for contacting Tesla. No information is available at this time about the potential supercharging location you have inquired about. Once a supercharger is operational the...

    Just sent them an email. Maybe if they get enough they will respond. I don't really want to spend the night in Escanaba to cross the UP.

    Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

    Thanks for the report. Looks like we'll be waiting until next spring for any progress. Too bad, Tesla has really gotten to work on the Canadian route, plus North Dakota and now Montana. Looks like the UP will be the last frontier...

    Billyk24, did you get a chance to check it out on your drive through on 11/9?

    Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

    Yes, just noticed that the Mackinaw City charger is under construction. Great news! There may be hope for Escanaba this year after all. And hopefully a V3 at that. Have not seen any report since I passed through Escanaba on 9/20. Anybody in the area that can check it out? Maybe it's...

    I went through the Meijer's parking lot in Escanaba this morning-no sign of any activity for the supercharger. I guess we can hope for next spring-again...

    Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

    I'll be passing through Escanaba tomorrow (in my ICE vehicle, since I don't have time to stay overnight) so I'll swing through Meijer's and see if there is anything happening. With all that construction going on in Canada, maybe they'll fill in this gap yet this year...

    Calimenti, it's been almost a month since anyone reported on Escanaba. Can your sister swing through again?

    Another two weeks since the last report. I keep hoping to hear some good news-anyone in the area?

    It's been two weeks since rhumbliner's report. Any news from anyone in the area?

    Supercharger.net now shows construction has started at the Soo! Esky is next? No one has reported on the site this week. Could it have started?

    Iron Mountain would be a better location for my travels and is closer to Gaylord, less direct if coming from Green Bay but if coming from further west would be good. ??? According to Google Maps, Escanaba is 204 miles from Gaylord and Iron Mountain is 255 miles, plus you would normally drive...

    But a lot of people pass through the UP, especially on US 2. And if you are coming from Wisconsin to northern lower Michigan, it's about 4-5 hours shorter than going around through Chicago, the only viable route with a Tesla at the moment without an overnight stay in Escanaba. By the way, has...

    We make the trip from Minneapolis to Indian River area 3-4 times a year. We've taken our Tesla twice, and we have to spend the night at the Quality Inn in Escanaba in order to make it. We left home with a full charge, hit the SC in Wausau to get back to about 260 mile range, then to Escanaba...

    I passed through Escanaba yesterday and drove around the Meijer parking lot-no sign of any activity for the supercharger. What happened to the rumor that it was supposed to get started in May?

    I drove through Escanaba today and was going to check it out, but the street to Meijer's off US-2 (3rd Ave.) was closed and all torn up and I didn't have time to detour around to get there. With the street construction, I can think of two possibilities: 1. Tesla knew about the upcoming street...

    I drove through the parking lot this afternoon. No activity... Looks like we'll be lucky to have it operational by Labor Day.

    I'll be driving through on Saturday and will check again then. Better start soon or the cost cutting could postpone it for another year...

    Another 10 days have passed. Anybody local that can give an update? We need to see this started soon to have any chance of being in operation by mid-summer.

    Construction now started in Hudsonville, MI (near Grand Rapids-I had to look it up). Maybe they'll head north next... Anybody in the Escanaba area that can take a ride by Meijer's and see if there is any activity?

    It's April. Any sign of construction activity yet? I'm really hoping to see this done by June for my trip through the UP.

    Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

    Stopped in at Meijer's in Escanaba yesterday. Still no sign of any progress for the SC... But at least some activity across the country is starting to appear on supercharge.info with 16 under construction, a big jump since the end of the 3rd quarter.

    Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

    Yes, agree it can be done in the summer, but still pretty close. I don't like to push the limit, especially with the colder weather outside. It was 22 degrees when we left Escanaba yesterday and didn't get above 34 by the time we got to Wausau with about 18% left. A very pretty drive with...

    Currently at the Quality Inn in Esky, getting a much needed charge after driving from the Petoskey area today, 185 actual miles but 35 degrees, 15 mph headwind, rain with a bit of slushy mix. Our MS 90D made it with plenty of range left, but definitely need a full charge for the run tomorrow to...

    Supercharger - Escanaba, MI

    Any news on Escanaba SC? It would make my trip from home in Minneapolis to cottage near Indian River doable entirely by SC, without an overnight at the Comfort Inn in Escanaba, so I'm anxiously awaiting an update. I've got a MS 90D with 290+ miles of range but it's too close to make if from...

    Thanks for the tip about the "residential" filter on plug share. I didn't know about that and it opens up a bunch of other options.

    Supercharger - Gaylord MI

    Your silly guess is pretty accurate. In the neighborhood so I stopped by today, and to my surprised there was a white Model S 100D backed up to the chargers! And there was a guy working on the chargers, getting them set up. Plus, they now have numbers. He said everything is set to go, they...

    Supercharger - Gaylord MI

    Interesting that Gaylord has the second longest time in construction for a supercharger in the US, according to supercharger.info, at 255 days. Normal construction times seem to be in the 30-60 day range. I'm guessing that 100+ SC have been completed in the US during the time we've been...

    There is now a 48 amp Tesla destination charger at the Quality Inn in Escanaba, with two outlets. It's listed on Plugshare. Not clear whether you have to rent a room to use it, but one person was showing 32 miles/hr charge rate. At least if you spent the night you could get across the UP.

    Note Marquette SC is listed to be completed sometime in 2019, unlike Escanaba, Mackinac City and Gaylord all showing to be completed in 2018.
