Supercharger - Auburn, WA

[im.thatoneguy]

Yesterday on Boren there were 4x White Tesla's adjacent to one another in the same direction of traffic. In one lane: white S, 3, 3 and in the neighboring lane an X.

My wife and I stopped by today. It's possible I missed something, but I don't recall any pictures so far that note that this charging site has a nice view:

We were the fifth vehicle to arrive - 4 Xs, and 1 S. 7 stalls still open. We started at about half full, but still got well over 100kW to start. I think (?) we were the only ones that stayed with our car - it looked like all of the other drivers had gone inside the mall.

My record in Seattle is seeing 5 Teslas in a row. I've seen 6 go through one green light at Stone/34th in Seattle at rush hour before.

I drove to Seattle for a show last night and my model 3 was one of three in a row in a lane near Boeing field.

No all the other drives are still on their way to the restaurants/coffee shops, and by the time they reached any one of them it'll be time to head back, so it's definitely a smart move to just stay with the car.

Can someone confirm these chargers are up? Status isn't showing up on app or navigation.

 

[beecuesee]

I mean operational today. I know theyve been up. Just app doesn't show status today

Ok thanks!

The car Nav has started showing them as 72kw and stopped showing live usage information. This was all working properly a week ago, so looks like an update has been made to break the location in nav.

Did they increase the number of stalls from 8 to 12?

I went there last night, 11/23, to supercharge in my 2019 M3 SR+. To get the Supercharger to show up on the navigation and direct me to the Supercharger, I used the Supercharger "button" on the far right of the screen. Don't know if the car was pre-heating the battery for charging or not. Ended up using the stall that was closest to the electrical cabinets. However, I was a little disappointed that the charging never went higher than 100KW. I started with about 15 Miles of charge when I got there, and it stayed at 100KW until it dropped down below that a little while after I got above 100 - 120 miles of charge.

Each stall has only 1 plug, so it didn't feel like I was sharing. Also, the stall next to mine was only occupied half the time I was there. We need some more data points from other M3 drivers so I can figure out if it was the stall, the conditions, or my SR+ that was the reason it never went above 100KW.

Its v2 supercharger so if someone was next to you then you would be sharing. Next time use one that does not have anyone next to it and see where your rate gets too. Also, it's been cold so if your battery was not warm enough it would not hit the optimal charging rate.

I have been there a few times and it always seem to be slow.. not sure if it is because it is new, but never get the speed I get at other locations. Only one of a few cars there and not sharing A/B stalls.

Right now SR+ is software limited to 100kW supercharging speed. It was announced that the limit is going to be removed so it can hit ~145kW on V2 stations (about the max the stations can do) but the software update hasn’t been released yet...
