Supercharger - Ardmore, OK

[bollar]

Mark me as 50% probable. And... I need more logistical details. They are probably in this thread, but I seem to be unable to pin them down.

Thanks!

Glad to have you. Just be at the Ardmore Supercharger by 1. I'll plan to be there around 12:30. It's about 95-100 miles from North Dallas on I-35 all the way. Once open, it should be listed on the Supercharger map in the car, so you won't even need directions!

We'll celebrate the opening, get some pictures and have lunch. Those of us who stay long enough will be able to welcome the Shamrock pioneers back.

I have not seen Ardmore pop-up on my nav Supercharger list yet. Anyone?

It tends to show up the following morning on nav. I would look at the Supercharger page on TeslaMotors.com - it appears to be updated faster.

Onyx Theaters has a nice, full powered HPWC (243VAC instead of 208VAC at the Hilton) and it's free (always call ahead since the cord is locked in a box). There's not much to do around there, but there is a surprisingly good quality Japanese restaurant to the west if you don't mind long walks.

Do you know why Onyx Theaters is not listed on Tesla's Find Us map?

I believe the Find Us lists HPWCs that Tesla supplied through it's destination program, not ones that were purchased outside the program. Of course, the website isn't noted for its accuracy, so it could also have been an oversight.

Onyx Theaters isn't destination charging. It's just a private HPWC like many on Plugshare.

If Ardmore is opened tomorrow, it will be the 400th supercharger station. Quite a milestone for Tesla.

Tesla's official website supercharger map claims 401 chargers open. Are they counting some twice, or are we missing something? Unfortunately they don't use the same rigor as Blue Shift when they update their site so it's hard to tell. None of the stations I'm tracking were mysteriously added. Dammit.

Yes, I was using Blue Shift's map to tally, which is at 399. I suspect that a couple new stations were added in Asia that weren't included on his map. Still a remarkable achievement, for those of use who've owned a MS for a long time and have seen supercharging start at 0.

So the status of Ardmore is still unknown? I'm trying to decide whether to chance Ardmore with backup plug share charging in Paul's Valley or cut across to the shamrock SC via rvpark in Vernon.

We were planning on leaving today, to make Shamrock tomorrow. Since nobody could confirm if we can charge there, I called Tesla. He connected me to the Super Charger team, and I was told "Until the construction icon is gone, you can't use it." I explained I only have the 60 battery, and there is no where else around there to charge. I also said I know other owners have used the chargers before the official openings. His response was "They are paving. There is no way you can get to the charger today, sorry."

Unless somebody can show me pictures, or tell me different; I don't think I can make this trip...

Ardmore is open!!!

Purplewalt is currently charging there. Be careful on the newly poured asphalt though.

See everyone this weekend!

 

[jaysquyres]

THANK YOU !!! Until I had confirmation, there was no way my wife & kids were allowing this trip. I appreciate you letting me know I can use it! We should be leaving in a couple of hours...

Great! See you at 1pm!

There will be sizable stack of Teslas there if the SC it isn't online.

Hehe.

Since you have an 85, it's not a big deal -- I have done the Ardmore round trip without a Supercharger and it's easily possible at highway speeds. And if you like like faster than highway speeds, there's an HPWC just off I-35E in Denton for a quick charge before you get home.

And there are several RV parks nearby, so you have lots of options -- it's a perfect way to obliterate your range anxiety.

Alas I will be on the 2nd half of a trip (and a range charge) tomorrow. Not Shamrock, some other deal I have to do. I'd probably make it fine but it would be slow trip back without free Ardmore electrons. I'll look up that Denton HPWC just in case.

Hey, I think up-thread you're the pics returning home from an Ardmore round trip on fumes from a head wind.

I hope there are some strong no-parking signs.

Yep, if that's where they put the supercharger, expect it to be ICED with some regularity. Hoping purplewalt took a few pics.

Some pictures of us charging. Note the 1A station is actually the farthest away from the cabinets. 3B is a bit slow

Actually the reverse is true, there are 3 Chinese superchargers on supercharge.info that are still missing from teslamotors.com.
Which is why the teslamotors.cn supercharger number is higher.

It was a bug in the software and I *may* have been going faster than highway speeds. I did make it home with 25 miles range remaining.

This is the far corner of the parking lot, so it's least likely to be iced. When I was there, it was at the end with free spots.
