Supercharger - Arlington, VA

Or go to Whole Foods and buy [something] for the road trip back and they validate parking.

They validate for two hours. He said he'd be there longer than two hours. Not sure what happens if you try to validate in that situation.

Is this a busy location on a weekend (like a Sunday)? I'll be in a meeting for about 2.5 hours and I won't be able to leave to move the car when charging is complete. I wouldn't want to block someone else from charging but if it is rarely used because it is new I would consider doing it and paying any idle fee's tesla charges if it was half full. I wouldn't want to block anybody from charging though.

When I checked the status at 10pm yesterday, 9 stalls were in use. It’s getting busier every day.

Should get the first two hours free, pay for additional time.

If the idle fees are $0.50-$1.00 per minute, and if you have the time, you might be better off parking in a non-supercharger spot during your meeting, and charging for 30-60 minutes afterward (or beforehand) while you grab something at Whole Foods.
Another option to consider, looking at PlugShare, is there are multiple L2 chargers in the immediate area. If you just need a partial charge during your meeting, you could use those instead.

Arlington is showing as limited service with only 5/18 available.

Just tried several stalls and none had power. Used summon to keep the car moving down the stalls but gave up after about checking half a dozen. There were no other cars around today so looks like there might be some outage.

Talked with another driver on Monday that had tried multiple spots and they would charge for a minute then disconnect. The first one I tried worked but was only getting around 40kw. Def some is she’s going on.

What did Tesla say? They are always so responsive when I call to report a Supercharger failure

 

[JoshM3]

Most of the chargers are dead. I did find 2B and 3A are working and produce 70 kW.

Ironically helped a couple who is up there and had rented a Tesla on Toro. They had 2 miles left of range and had been trying to supercharge around town for almost 8 hours. They had no idea about the Tesla map for Superchargers. Found them a stall with charge and got them on their way.

Thanks @JoshM3! confirming that 2B and 3A are working; I tested the rest and they are all dead.

Just went tonight and tried nearly every stall. None working.

Just tried 10 of 12, 3A and 2B are working, the other two had cars parked and plugged in, no idea if they were charging. Same start/stop behavior on most, or it would fail to start at all.

 

[candrei]

Tried to charge there tonight. Only a handful are working: 3A and 3B seem to be reliable. The rest are either not working at all or they stop charging after 2-3mins.

Has anyone reported this to Tesla?

All you have to do is look at your nav to know Tesla knows. The site is marked as unavailable.

 

[PennStateMatt]

I reported to Tesla but as mentioned above they're clearly aware. I also charged at 3A last night and everything worked fine. Didn't test any others but saw a couple other cars that appeared to be charging fine.

 

[candrei]

All stalls 1A through 4B seemed to be working tonight.

 

[candrei]

Tested about 8 slots last night, only 1A had worked for about 10mins.
