    Supercharger - St. Louis Park, MN

    I recently charged at this location, all working stalls were full with four of us charging when I left. A few other Tesla cars in the Target parking lot, so presumably drawing business to them. There's some landscaping work being done now at this St. Louis Park supercharger location. Type of...

    7th Annual Black Hills Sound of Silence Tesla Rally! May 15—17, 2020

    For those of you dreaming of (or seriously considering) still driving to Custer, SD, you should also read up on all the current closures .

    Unfortunately as of early March, over half of the eight total Custer super charger stalls are unusable/unavailable. One is snowed over. Four stalls are currently blocked by construction equipment. I contacted the Custer Area Chamber of Commerce and Dolsee Davenport replied with this...

    Supercharger - Alexandria, MN

    Bob, you may be thinking of the fast L3 charger network to be installed along I-94 by ZEF Energy. ZEF won state contracts to spend some of the VW settlement money to build (non-Tesla) fast L3 charging networks across Minnesota. They're probably busy with all that paperwork, preparation and site...

Great award-winning truck stop with lots of amenities including sit-down restaurant food. Charge topped out ~ 142 kW for me both times at ~ 15% SOC. One spot...

    Supercharger - Lake Geneva, WI

    I spoke with the master electrician again, his firm was sub-contracted by Tesla and the Resort to install these Superchargers. They made it past the lead mitigation and remediation, which required a lot of paperwork. He said that all of his electrical work is complete. Now just waiting on the...

    Supercharger - Lake Geneva, WI

    I personally know the owner of the electrical contractor on this SC build. He said the hold-up right now is due to an abandoned 50-year old AT&T phone wire that was discovered underground during trenching/boring. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal except the unused phone wire is encased in...
