Supercharger - Danbury, CT

[tanker5]

Girlfriend was in the area and stopped by today to check progress. Meter has been installed, however no transformer yet.

 

[Blissedout]

It’s now installed but no power yet.

The transformer is not installed. I think you mistook the circuit breaker boxes for the transformer. The meter is installed, however.

The superchargers say Supercharger II 135 KW. Is that less power than older ones?

No - most Superchargers are 120KW.

No - most Superchargers are 120KW.

I think you mean the maximum rate a which a Tesla (S or X) can be charged is 120 KW. See Tesla quietly upgraded its Superchargers for faster charging, now capable of 145 kW

Interesting article. When it says Telsa upgraded is Supercharger to 145kW, does that mean only new ones or did it retroactively upgrade previously installed stations? I suspect it is only prospective but I certainly could be wrong about that.

I read it to mean existing Superchargers.

Supercharger.info lists the Danbury, CT supercharger under construction for the last 75 days. Does anyone who lives near Danbury know what the status of the construction is?

Can someone please move this thread into the New England forum.

I can't figure out how to move the thread. How can I do that?

It's moved.

Granted to fix this problem New York and New England states should be in one NORTHEAST forum. NY is not part of the Mid-Atlantic, and that makes things confusing.

As a life-long resident of New York...we don't agree with that. We consider the Mid-Atlantic as PA, Maryland and DC (maybe Jersey too)...which are actually in the middle of the Atlantic coast. New York is not. We are the cornerstone between New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. We were a Dutch colony, so even culturally, New York developed differently than our British colonial neighbors on either side.

New York, NJ and CT are called the Tri-State Area, but really the only appropriate way to consider the larger area is "Northeast," when adding New England and NY/NJ.

As a former NY resident for 20 years I disagree but that is likely b/c you are from LI and I am from upstate. Probably not the only thing we disagree on haha

From Danbury's perspective, New York City is another country that is fun to visit once in a while.
From New York City's perspective Danbury does not exist.

I work in NY CIty, live in Westchester county and often go to Costco in Brookfield. Danbury definitley exists for me. Any updates on the Super Charger site?

Haha, true for city dwellers, but as a former Northern Westchester resident, Danbury was my primary mall location, and I used to get Subaru service at Colonial Subaru.

Agreed.

I wasn't going to comment but now that we are talking maps and views of the world from the NYMA its funny how as someone from upstate I used to view Westchester, LI, and NYC the same. Since then I've also lived in White Plains and wow what a difference. For me upstate is anything past westchester and rockland, curious as to what you think.
