Aaaannndd.. might have to take some of that back. On May 2nd, a team of Tesla types on the commissioning team apparently got a 12-stall Supercharger in Salem, NH up and running. Result was published on supercharge.info and celebrated on the appropriate TMC thread.Scanning around TMC, we have two reports:
Looks like: Anybody whose title included "Supervisor" is gone; anybody one level down is still there. For the moment.
- On a SC being constructed, there's no work happening. And a TMC-er checked the names of the project manager and the construction manager for the install on Linkedin.. and they were amongst the crowd fired.
- Another TMC-er reported that they needed to get their hotel chain's location L2 chargers commissioned and was unable to contact anybody at Tesla. But a reply to that from another TMC-er said that they were able to get live person help to get their TWC up and running.
Funny thing, though: Supercharger stalls over a large population fail all the time. Inevitable with a large pile of hardware. My understanding is that a dead one calls the mothership to complain. But that then typically involves a repair tech or something being sent to fix it. And the person doing the "sending" would likely have the word, "Supervisor" in their title.
Finally: supercharge.info has a list of Superchargers being installed, going up, going down, starting install, planning stages, and so on. There's activity over the past two days in the EU and China.. China definitely still running, but the EU isn't much there, and there's absolutely nothing in the Americas.
I have this nasty feeling that SuC's are about to get a LOT less reliable.
Signs of life.
