It looks like it's open now, it's on Tesla map online: Tesla - Chicago - 717 S Desplaines St Weekday : 8:00am - 5:00pm

Apparently, permits have been issued for a 12-stall expansion.

It looks like the announced new Chicago service center is making progress in the south loop (717 S. Desplaines St. see news)

Looks like Marco found another one close by, Culver's off I-94 at E 111th St. So close together ?

Remember that when comparing to other states and cities, that the Chicagoland area is 10M people. Maybe it should have 10x the infrastructure.

Looks like a few locations have finally some available stalls. Hopefully people can get home safe.

- several days of continuous negative temps - holidays weekend - lots of new Uber drivers (chargers around the city are very busy with Uber drivers, see the fleet plates) - lots of tesla - not a lot of new chargers (hope the new 52 stalls at ORD comes soon), need another one for MDW - 🥶

Weird, previous winters have been fine (in the last 5 years). Right now the map is all full or out of order, except 3 stalls in a parking downtown.

Exactly. It's sad that it's only in the planning stage. I was expecting it to be open by now...

My 2014 Model S has a spot near the rearview mirror that lets the signal of the transponder pass. See the dots in the windshield. That’s where I put mine. I think it was also on the 2013. Issues on the early 2012 models probably.

Nice. It’s on the tesla map for Q2 opening.

Looks like the 2 ChargePoint units next to the supercharger finally got activated. 2 Units, each with 2 cables. From the screen, it seems to be free, 7kW.

Yes it seems busy all the time now, from morning to night. Last time was 9 Ubers out of 11 and 2 more waiting. Maybe they are in and out of Midway airport. The place definitively needs some trash bins. I hope Target or Tesla step up. I got a survey from Tesla about this place recently and...

It’s live! Charging now. It’s in the phone app, not yet in my car.

Yes that location is always busy. From the app, today was half full at 9AM and full At 10AM. You can see occupancy graph in the car now. Another Oak Brook location is planned for Q2’23. (3050 Butterfield Rd Oak Brook)

Following the supercharger leak and @MarcoRPTesla permit, I found the new Supercharger, near the I55, Pulaski Exit. At Target and across the street from Pete's. It's all built up and ready, 12 stalls. But no power yet. Also 2 ChargePoint units on the other side of the transformer. Location along...

Looks like another charger is coming to Oak Brook next year. Tesla just updated their map. Good, since this charger seems very busy, unsurprisingly.

They add labor in the estimate (just in case, I guess), but final price is just $1,500 plus tax. My estimate was 1,795 and at the end I payed 1,605.

For my 2014 Model S, it retained everything (bluetooth, garage door, profile with seat position, ...). The only thing that was cleared was the trips (they still existed but were zeroed). Sad since I had a trip set when I purchased the car second-hand. But no big deal.

515 Village Center Drive, Burr Ridge, IL LAT LONG : (41.7522511, -87.9138804) (there are also 2 free Volta stations there).

Did it just pop up? It’s in the phone app and not in the car. Charging there now.

A friend was shopping there today, and the area by the garden center has been fenced off...

I was surprised but my Homelink worked after the upgrade. No reprogramming for me.

I had it done recently on my 2014 S, and it’s great. I had to choose between jut doing LTE or full MCU upgrade. Something I didn’t expect was that both screens are higher resolution than the original ones, much sharper (like going retina for mac user). Something expected was the backup camera...

Got my car upgraded to MCU2 this Friday and they said they don't wash cars anymore for environmental reasons (probably too busy indeed). But I got great service and a loaner for the day (Chicago area).

Mine was done within 2 weeks after request (1 week delayed waiting for part). Dropped the car 9AM, done by 5PM, Chicago area.

What’s the cost of parking there ? Any free time for charging ? thanks.

Hard to read, but it seems to say: Counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will, Beginning July 1, 2022, a $4,000 rebate (less after 2026) Apply for the rebate within 90 days The Agency shall prioritize the review of qualified applications from low-income purchasers and award...

Now on the web map.

It's in car navigation, so people found it during the crazy Friday shopping at the mall. As mentioned before, it's a very hostile area to pedestrians.

it’s now on the Tesla web map. I might try this weekend. https://www.tesla.com/findus/location/supercharger/OakBrookILsupercharger

I’m glad it’s finally coming, but it’s weird they couldn‘t find a place in the giant mall parking across the street.

It seems high, but not crazy high (for Chicago suburb for instance). Every installation is different, how complex is it to reach the panel, is it going outside and back in garage… That’s why in my case I said ‘Put a 14-50 outlet here’ meaning no installation of charger, no mention of Tesla or...

In V3, one cabinet drives 4 pedestals (chargers) so it would probably be an 8-charger location (most common these days as mentioned).

I drove around the Target parking the other day but I didn’t see anything yet. There‘s construction inside the parking structure but no obvious Tesla signs.

At Target, interesting. I thought it would be at the Mariano’s down the street when I saw the dot on Tesla’s map. Target has a much bigger lot there, so it should be more convenient.

Half way between Chicago and Urbana, it should be useful.

Worked fine on Tuesday. Not sure what’s going on.

nice, like the S

Yes, official on Tesla's website: 16 Superchargers, available 24/7, up to 250kW i.e. Bolingbrook #2, 8 chargers, 250kW @emupilot, @tes-s, @MarcoRP @Chuq

Yes, charged there tonight. The thinner cables are easier to handle in the cold.

Picture from last night. It looks almost finished...

Still the same status last night. Similar in Rolling Meadows, concrete work done but no electrical setup.

The new parking structure F has a fair amount of L2 chargers and "priority ev" preferred parking spots, and it's covered (except the top level). Convenient for short trips, and same parking fees (I think $17 a day).
