Happy I stumbled on this thread. I recently got my 2020 S and went out here a month ago. I couldn’t find the stalls. But next time I will know and all this great info about low and warm battery is helpful. As a new Tesla owner I’m still learning all these details. Been going to the Guildford site a couple of times, and get the max 72kWh. Still wished they updated these to at least 150kWh. I’ll have to organize a road trip to try these new stalls out one day.
I had this issue a few weeks ago, and just moved to the other end of the charging stack and it worked. Was pulling 163KW on a 2019 MX, so not bad when they work! They we're also very hard to find and no signage at all that I saw to direct to the charging location!
FYI here is my post on charging at the Abbotsford supercharger with model 3 SR+ Standard Range Plus Supercharging Speed
Would like to try it again with a low battery and an hour drive in warm weather just to test if I get close to 200kWh.
it is way too early but just saw from Vancouver facebook group that Cottonwood mall in Chilliwak just signed a contract for a few superchargers. It's way too early in the process so it's gonna be a while before permit/construction but thought I would share anyways. Edit: looks like it is already being discussed here Western Canada Superchargers Drives Tesla article Tesla Supercharger coming soon to Chilliwack, B.C. - Drive Tesla Canada
Yeah, apparently the deal just got signed it will be a while. If anyone lives near there, they could scout the area. Thanks, guys!
It’s another good location being right off the freeway exit with lots of shopping and food options around the area.
What he said^ I can guide you through the pain, I've been waiting since 2017, lul Every year it gets pushed back @serpico007 The number of Teslas in White Rock / South Surrey is insane...
Yes there are so many Tesla’s in this area now. Not just myself but both of my brothers, few friends and all the 3’s and Y’s are nuts.
Definitely. We still haven't ordered our MY yet (delayed due to various life circumstances, but shouldn't be much longer), but every time I'm out on errands or on my way to and from downtown on the 99, I see a boatload of Teslas! M3 mostly, followed by MS, then MX, then MY (but these are slowly picking up in the area too).
Love the V3 250kW charger. It’s been quite busy at this location lately and almost full on the weekends. I momentarily got up to 249kW before it throttled down and I wasn’t quick enough to take a pic. Got a pic at 245kW with a relatively warm battery from preconditioning and few launches before arriving at the charger.
I can't wait until the White Rock location opens up so it's closer to me. Driving over to this or other locations lately is full by the time I arrive. Surrey old location is packed all the time now. Recently I just charge at home instead even though it's free for me to use the Supercharger. Luckily I always have enough juice to get home.
