*sniff* Do you smell that? Smells like something burning or melting, or both. j/k

Has anyone been by the location in the last few day? Just curious...

Monte did AMAZING work! I highly recommend his shop.

What is going happening on 8/10?

Awesome. There are some 'rubber stamp' marks in the comments section too. 'Permit issued, inspections final, permit final, closed' ... all in one day span. The electric permit still has the lock, hopefully that get's 'unlocked' soon. If Oncor had to pull wire, install transformers, install a...

Yes, I tried contacting her with the same result. I also tried contacting the Tesla employee, Robert, who has been very involved in this project from the beginning, through the post fire blame game, with no response. Look at record PO18-02289 on Accela Citizen Access.

The transformer fire blame game has been resolved, at least enough for the city to final the electrical. If there were supercharger stations on every corner then I doubt anyone would be too interested in this case.

Ah! Thanks for clarifying, not sure how I ended up there... but it sure seemed like a lot of loonies!

Seven or eight months IIRC. The most aggravating part is the zero sense of urgency to get it back up and running coupled with absolutely no official explanations or projected time frame. Please correct me if I am wrong about the last part. The transformer fire led to a massive finger pointing...

I agree, the information found in the 'View Comments/Conditions' section are not super clear. In fact, are the comments even in chronological order? Hard to say since many of the comments do not have dates on them. The site plans were mentioned in those 'comments' several times, though it is...

I took the car by and let Monte take a look. He said he could do it! He used the magnet and confirmed the trunk lid was steel, while the door panels and frunk lid are aluminum. He said he could work with either, but steel was more forgiving. Super nice guy! Thanks again!! PS - He asked who...

Thanks, I will give them a call. Are the door panels aluminum? I am unclear which exterior parts of the model 3 are steel and which are aluminum.

Can anyone recommend a body shop to use, or to stay away from? The dent is in the trunk lid, on the portion directly left of the license plate. Not sure if that will require a whole new lid, or if someone out there can work the aluminum and 'pop' it out. Service King is listed in the app as...

Anyone who wants to follow it on the CoFW permitting site can do so here: Accela Citizen Access For the most recent electrical, which was final and released to Oncor on 6/20 - search 'PE19-02420' For the most recent building permit, which is where any new activity will be - search 'PB18-02691'...

LOL! I feel your pain! Just to clarify, my previous 'guesstimate' would be the end of this month... July 2019. Anything is possible with the CoFW when it comes to halting progress... but that is my best guess.

My work involves dealing with Oncor and CoFW on a daily basis, both march to the beat of their own drum. With that being said, I have never seen power connect/reconnect take this long. A quick look at the electric permit shows there is still a hold. ***DO NOT RELEASE POWER UNTIL BUILDING...

Still nothing as of this morning.

Thanks! I will follow that thread.

Any news on when this location will be back online?

Cool. I will definitely try 277 and report back, not sure how soon I will be able to get that done... hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Does CCS or CHAdeMO work with the Model 3 yet? Fingers crossed they get our supercharger back online soon!

Ok, let me see if I understand this so far. The charge rate of any given model is capped using amperage only, not power or voltage. Therefor by cranking up the voltage, while keeping the amperage at the same level, the power (wattage) goes up and the car charges faster? My wall charger is...

Wait, will this only work on the LR model? Or does the 277V magically allow any M3 battery model to charge at the higher rate? Thanks again!

Thanks for the link! I will read up on it tonight.

No, I have the SR+.

That's interesting! I installed the charger at our shop, where we have both 120/208Y and 277/480Y panels. I connected it to a 120/208 panel, two legs on a dual pole 60A breaker are delivering ~ 215VAC single phase power to the wall charger. The manual says it is to be hooked up to 208V - 250V...

My bad, it is a SR+ ... I should have been more specific.

We have the standard range. So we are stuck at 7.7Kw. Is the wall charger benefiting us at all? Would we be getting the exact same result if we removed the wall charger and put in a 240V receptacle? If so I might as well return or sell the wall charger and try to get at least some of the money...

Thank you!

We picked up our new Model 3 on Tuesday, woo-hoo! We drove straight from the store to the only Supercharger in town to familiarize ourselves with the process. Unfortunately their had been some sort of fire and the location is shut down indefinitely. Apparently it has been down for three months...
