Supercharger - Altoona, IA

[dburkland]

Hoping this is in service for my next trip next month to DSM!

Any ideas as to why it is taking so long for Altoona, IA to open? Weather?

The local electrical contractor is waiting until it warms up. They had been waiting for the switchgear, it is here but only part of the cables pulled in.

Saw the contractor at the gym today...

Wait what? Did you or can you get a photo?

 

[DDarrow]

Not operational as of yet. Just joking apparently.

Hi: I tried the charger today, it is not working yet. The electric meter energized, but chargers not running.

 

[earcandy]

I thought I better upload new pictures of them not working..

Fingers crossed they flick the switch soon!

Had a friend tell me that the charger is open. He stopped by to charge after leaving the airport and couldn’t get better than 60kw, but assuming that may have been due to his battery being too cold, or perhaps just a random glitch in the new install.

It is up and working, running slow but I was at 250 miles,

It is on the Tesla supercharger map.

This is indeed good news. Thanks for the update. For some reason Altoona, IA is not showing as active on the Tesla SC website yet. Maybe it takes few days for it to show.

Only two stalls are working as of 7/25/2021 at 1:30 pm. The trip planner shows it as "reduced service" and ignored it, asking us to drive all the way to West Des Moines. We came here anyway, to find that only two are working.

I'm not sure what's been going on here but both have had a lot of issues this month.

 

[jmrerg]

Any idea if this has been fixed? ABRP also shows reduced service and it is not used in route planning.

Four of six stalls are lit up today. One of those four has the cord tied around the top of the station. I didn’t try that one because the adjacent stall was in use. Still getting the “reduced service” message on the nav.

Nav says this supercharger is closed. Anyone been there lately or know what’s happening? Repairs?
