Supercharger - Arlington, VA

Any update?

 

[Arif]

Finally the first real tangible indication is here....just got this email from my building management!

Now that the transformer is being activated tomorrow it still remains to be seen when Tesla turns on the chargers...

 

[Arif]

Crane was setup last night, transformer switched overnight, lots of noise haha!

Also got to speak with the Tesla energy rep that was performing the site inspection. He said the app will indicate when the charger is officially active. He noticed some problems with the wiring so those corrections will be made in the next few days. Expect the chargers to come alive in about a week.

18 units on deck 5. Looks like new config. Perhaps v3 capable? Doesn't seem to be operational yet. Charlie

s v3 capable.

Those are Urban Superchargers, 72kW maximum.

100% not v3. Those are Urban Superchargers and deliver a maximum of 72 kW per vehicle.

Looking forward to these opening in the near future.

I cruised through today. There were two guys working on about half of the Supercharger stalls. There was also a Dominion Energy vehicle parked in front of the electrical room in the basement. Feels like we’re getting close.

 

[Arif]

Probably fixing the findings that the Tesla engineer had flagged last week!

I would reckon we are live before the week is up!

 

[Syd]

Arif, you're the optimist. Remember to multiple all estimates by 20 and add 2%.

Still not working as of Friday evening 4/12

 

[Ayobami]

I went there mid week and saw a tech working on the wiring. He said ETA is like 2 or 3 weeks...sorry guys!

 

[Big Earl]

I was there yesterday and they were working on the Supercharger cabinets one level down. All of the stalls had been buttoned back up.

Another transformer shutdown is scheduled for tomorrow night, Monday, April 15. Hopefully, for the final check. Maybe operational in a week or so if all goes well.

What’s the expected duration of the outage?

 

[GlennH]

Non

What’s the expected duration of the outage?

Don’t know. I suspect it will depend on what problems show up.

 

[GlennH]

Gg

What’s the expected duration of the outage?

Just to be clear, the transformer shutdown is only for tomorrow night. I assume they will be testing the Tesla charger hookup to the transformer. There may be some tweaking needed.

 

[GlennH]

Transformer connection went well Monday night. We are close, very close to being operational. I would guess probably by this weekend.
