Supercharger - Ann Arbor, MI

[jgs]

Is this the plan, or is there another date/time being kicked around?

Hm, I s'pose I could do 11:30 today, but I think it would be better to have a better advertised and confirmed time. Maybe someone could put up a Doodle or use the TMC polling function?

I would gladly come over from Chicago if it was on a weekend, and maybe convince some other owners here to join me.

It's now official: Ann Arbor Supercharger | Tesla Motors

Just checked the screen in my car...it is showing up as available and online!

I took a short video of the Ann Arbor, MI Supercharger.

I used it twice last week (about 5 days apart) There's a bit of construction traffic, and quite a few cars stopped and pointed at my MS. Only one came over to ask questions.

Used it this weekend and there are lots of restaurants and more being built. Charged quickly too.

In Ann Arbor for a class this weekend and used the superchargers a couple of times (on arrival and before heading out). Nice location. The charging pedestals look sharp, especially at night with the lighting.

I've used this supercharger twice now and both times noticed the charging rate is lower than what I've seen at others. Example: I saw 210 mph and about 200 amps... while others I have seen 333 mph and about 270 amps. Anyone else noticed this? Is this location a bit slower than some others?

What SoC were you at for each charging session?

I got 329 mph @ 256A when I tried it. Supercharger - Ann Arbor, MI - Page 16

I started at 41%. I'm pretty sure I've had similar SoC but higher charging rates at other locations.

The following data is from VisibleTesla logs from my charging session on 9/10. Not sure how this compares with what gets displayed in the car, but seems consistent with what I have experienced at other superchargers:

Time	SOC	mph	Amps
21:26	20	--	--
21:30	24	323.0	321.5
21:34	33	370.9	295.7
21:38	42	364.1	259.0
21:42	49	348.3	223.4

Obviously, I started charging somewhere between the first two entries. SOC is improving by about 9% every 4 minute initially, with noticeable taper (current reduction) starting at a SOC of around 40%. Mine was the only Tesla in the lot, so no problem with the AB sharing situation which can reduce the charging rate.

 

[benfrank3]

OK cool. I'll go by there sometime with a very low SoC and see what I get. Thanks!

That is Tesla's Jim Chen presenting. How many vehicles participated? We had about 20 for the Grand Rapids opening.

 

[Summitman7]

We had between 15-20 Model S. The picture includes Doug Meijer.

It is great that Meijer is taking such a leadership role in assisting Tesla in rolling out Michigan and Ohio Superchargers. I'll bet Fred would have approved.
