I-84 — Pacific NW to SLC

[yagerd]

When you hear about the official "Grand Opening" celebration, let me know. I would like to be there with my S 85.

Pendleton went live 5/28 and ground has been broken for the 8 SC stations at Baker City.

Thanks for finding the construction!

I'm surprised they would put in 8 stalls in Baker City; I wouldn't think that I-84 in eastern Oregon will get that much interstate Tesla traffic. I guess Tesla is looking ahead to a whole lot more of their cars on the road! I hope to be one of them someday — I-84 is the route I use to visit family in Portland.

Almost all the SCs are eight stalls. Future growth and redundancy. The last two weekends I used five different SCs (the same five on both weekends). One stall was not working on the second weekend (the same one i used successfully on the first weekend). I moved to another stall and successfully charged, but without the redundancy it wouldn't have been fun. because i didn't try every stall, I don't know how many weren't working, just the 3A or 3A and 3B, or more. I'd guess the installation cost isn't much different between 4, 6, or 8 stalls as the expensive part is the lease and the construction, so it makes sense to have eight.

Also, because of queueing efficiency (Erlang Efficiency), an 8-stall Supercharger has about 3.5x the capacity with short queues compared to a 4-stall Supercharger. See Capacity of Superchargers Using an Erlang-B Model for details.

I didn't call the casino to find out when the "grand opening" would be, but hopefully next weekend??

Date from Tiah at casino is. 11June 2015. 1 pm for Grand Opening.

 

[vperl]

Grand Opening. 11 June 2015 1pm. Call Casino if you disbelieve, ask for Tiah if no one seems to know.

Really? Perhaps that's true in some places but it sure isn't where I live. Most of the ones near me are fours, with a few sixes. No eights except for Silverthorne, a major, very high traffic, ski destination:

Glenwood Springs, CO  6 stalls
Grand Junction, CO    6
Moab, UT              4
Green River, UT       4
Blanding, UT          4
Richfield, UT         4
Beaver, UT            4
St. George, UT        4
Nephi, UT             6
Farmington, NM        4
Gallup, NM            4
Santa Rosa, NM        6
Tucumcari, NM         6
Holbrook, AZ          4
Flagstaff, AZ         4
(and so on...)

Of the seven I've used (within 750 miles) all but one are eight stalls, and that one is a six stall.

Looks like Boise is getting started: Supercharger - Boise Idaho

When will Twin Falls appear...

That one is going to be harder to find. They don't have as nice an online searchable database as Boise does.

 

[cpa]

Rocky, maybe you could take something nice as an offering to one of the clerks or the electrical inspector in the building department to put you on their email list to be notified when a permit application is submitted. I did this in Fresno six months ago (sigh) as we do not have a searchable database either. Still nothing.

Worse yet, when you have to travel 4 miles off the interstate to reach one with only 4 stalls (St George, I'm looking at you). Insult to injury.
