Me too, but this isn't that. This is a crazy v3 (250kW) charger nowhere near a freeway. More of an ideal place for 12-18 Urban Chargers though.

Odd that the design.and permit say 12, because there are only 5 cabinets and 10 posts installed. This absolutely will be only 10 stalls.

Switch cabinets and step up transformer installed. Still no progress on a new transformer if that is happening.

Did you set the charger as the destination to allow the car to precondition the pack to about 85F? Heading to this charger, I got the on screen "preconditioning battery for Supercharging" message about 10 minutes out - this helps with higher charging speeds at low states of charge.

They managed to pour the concrete for the switching cabinets and remove the forms, not much else yet.

Got mine in Bellevue done 2 weeks ago, after hearing that they got in a slew of HW3 boxes and were tapping people who were in for other service items, I opened a new service item in my app to address the breathers on the battery pack (the loud THUNK during supercharging or when the pack heats...

Gorgeous V3 innards!

Forms are in to pour concrete around conduit now.

Some large white cabinets arrived.

Yes, these are v3, you can tell from the grills on the top of the cabinets, v2 have 2 vents on one side that point down at an angle.

Been dry the last 2 days and only sporadic rain coming in the next 3-4 days. It's on a hill and will dry out ok, but they haven't really accomplished anything outside since they backfilled between the existing (undersized and soon to be replaced) transformer and the building. They likely can't...

Great, maybe the new transformer is incoming soon...

Looks like they have excavated about 3 to 4 feet down along the foundation between the wall and transformer when I was by.

Yep, confirm fencing outside as well as inside today (both sides if the same garage wall where the transformer is located).

In car as of last night and today show it as "reduced service" but even if you are in range, it's shown as dim on the map and hard to see.

It is down now. They took it down the next morning, and it's been down over the weekend - likely until they get it added to their billing and in car screen.

I live up the hill behind these apartments, I can recon daily!

Price of the car has nothing to do with it. Model 3 has a better liquid flow through the pack for thermal stability, and different cell size and likely chemistry, which have an bearing on what they can handle from a charge/discharge rate, since for all practical purposes, the pack size in the 3...

I have seen pics posted of the cabinets for the North Bend and Spokane locations, they are v3 cabinets. v2 have 2 exhaust ports out one side for cooling and are narrower and taller. v3 have a grill around the very top of the entire cabinet and are squat and fatter.

Actually this was slated to be a V3 site per the NW Supercharger site manager I spoke with about 6 months ago. We shall see if this holds true. I also have heard that soon they will stop repairing the oldest v2 sites and replacing them with v3 hardware when they become degraded, so good news...

Just #2? Will be there tomorrow evening...

Correct, it's right in what used to be the grass in the background there to the right of the Taneum Brewing structure. Very nice location right off the exit with a brewery and bistro to have food, beer, coffee, etc. I see them having a big boost in business soon!

Ugh, Winter is literally a month away (Dec 21). Doubting it will be open by the weekend

You mean you don't see the massive cabinets on the concrete pedestal to the far right end of the photo? There are 6 there, and since Superchargers are paired, that means a 12 stall station...

Almost guaranteed. If they are paving, it really only needs to have electrical certification completed if it's not already been done in parallel.

This NEEDS to be up by Weds night - This will help a lot with the Thanksgiving rush!

Kenriko has said he will start selling some on Amazon early next month. He already sells a super nice DIY kit for wrapping the console and door areas that are that dust/fingerprint magnet piano black.

Nope, it's a sperate function I found out. You can use the button on the Tesla branded chargers to open the charge door as well as to unlock the charge connector (if the car is unlocked) but when the car is unlocked mine stays firmly locked into the car at home.

No, you have an Open button that appears where is says "close" but is greyed out on the picture of the car on the far left where the green circle indicates that the car is charging. Unlock can (supposed to at least) happen via the car as shown here, the app on the phone, or you can push the...

No, I am getting familiar with EAP, so only have used it in very light or very heavy stop and go on the freeway. Once I become more comfortable with how it behaves, I will push it to try more things.

Oh, I also forgot to check the build date till this morning, and am just in awe. Build date 08/18 Delivered 08/23/18 So basically 3 weeks from build to delivery. If they can maintain this pace, the rest of the auto world is in trouble.

I Audi S4 was a DSG transmission, so gear changes in hundredths of seconds, 0-60 in 4.4. With 80% SOC or more, I am beyond impressed. Was not sure about the extra cash for P, and am not at all sorry I saved the money. Those who have driven the 3 and gush about the handling are not...

No badge, they said they are shipping them out now, and I'll get an email or call when it arrives to get it installed - they said by Nov at latest. Don't worry I can't dump you guys and drive, I have to charge sometime!

Check your "i" icon for delivery steps, they changed something yesterday, and updated a LOT of people's dates. Some are showing a very specific date like "By October 18", while others who used to show "Sept - Nov" now say "End of Oct." If it's close, it should show on your page now. My entire...

Took delivery yesterday and am not a previous owner. For a while they had previous owners jumping to the front, but that stopped after they opened configuration to everyone, I believe. There are a lot of moving parts to what makes some orders happen before others, but much of it is...

UPDATE: Red / PUP - Black / EAP / 19's / AWD Day 1 online reservation, configured 6/27, Edit gone and emailed 8/13, Delivered 8/23 Picked the car up at 4pm in Bellevue, WA. They did 4 deliveries at once, telling everyone VERY basics about the car, and then said "These cars are more about...

Great to hear! I pick mine up in less than 3 hours, and also just couldn't justify the additional 5 figures for 1 second faster 0-60 through software, and binned parts.

What??? Nooooooo!!! When you call back ask why...

Haha :) Sorry (not sorry) to get mine ahead of you - if you send me the last 5 of your VIN, I can see if yours is there too, there were a lot of them staged for delivery...

Well, I did my drive by at lunch, they wanted to know what I wanted to know. I recounted the issues I had heard about with cars missing the truck, and other such things - they told me to hang on and the guy went in back to talk to someone from delivery. A new guy came out and said there were...

Thanks, making me feel a little better now, I plan to still swing by today and verify all seems ok before D-day tomorrow (Delivery Day)

Not really, they tool the line for a certain set of easily changeable combinations, there was a time when everyone panicked about Aero shortages, it was because they were doing a run of 19's - once they swapped back the flow picked back up. It's about keeping the line moving efficiently overall.

I'm goin going by tomorrow to talk to them in person, hopefully confirm all is on for Friday.

Don't think so, I have a (hopefully delivered in about 40 hours) mine being delivered. Configured 6/28 Emailed 8/13 VIN 8/19 Delivery scheduled 8/24 Red / AWD / Black Interior / 19's

Me too! It did happen fast for me too, call on 8/13, delivery 8/24. VIN 65,6xx

These stories are spooking me, I take delivery of my red AWD with 19's on Friday in Bellevue. I might have to swing by the lot to see if it's there. My rep was based out of NV, and she assured me she always plans for a few days in case of issues, but that it was already en route back over a...

They are only just starting to get these in. Someone on Reddit posted a copy of an email from the Service Center stating that they had a "due bill" to install the Dual Motor badge for his AWD.

Typically $400-500

They are just starting to get the badges in. Dual motor gets the large AWD, and P gets that with the red line under it.
