Supercharger - Basking Ridge, NJ

Contractor Fred working this morning!

 

[chadhyett]

Fingers crossed on this! My power was out all last night so this could be a perfect blessing today.

Fred Was back again this morning, putting in the proprietary Tesla screws to finish up the stalls. He thought the stalls would already be up and running, but when I tried of course they were not. No one there later on my way home, so as of now no progress to report.

I stopped by at about 4:10pm since I was in the area. Still no power. I got my hopes up as I was about to leave - an electrician's van pulled in at the far end of the lot close to the Dunkin Donuts - unfortunately he just went into Dunkin.

I did my last check in for the day now; not online today

The mystery of the orange bucket continues

Lightpost stand?

Lightpost stand?

Most likely


Do they typically turn these things on remotely?

 

[Wick]

Fred said they had to move the base for the existing light pole. That’s why it’s still empty. The landlord wouldn’t sell them a spare pole so the one they’ll put there won’t be an exact match.

 

[Wick]

I’ll be on the early shift this morning. Be there around 9:30.

 

[Wick]

No power, no activity.

I am a little concerned that when Dunkin Donuts drive through moves into the abandoned bank building the Tesla superchargers May well be iced when they get busy. The location was ideal a year ago when no one had any plans for this corner

 

[Wick]

Fred back at work now.

 

[Wick]

It’s up and running!!!

 

[Wick]

Supercharger seems throttled to 64kW

 

[thiyag]

Yaay, I will be stopping by in a few minutes (wiped out last night on my onewheel and recovering haha)

Supercharger seems throttled to 64kW

What state of charge were you at to start? That makes a big difference.

See this chart:

Supercharger speed: 116kW

Finally!! I have about 60% charge so I don’t know if the throttling is normal or something like a soft launch with reduced output on the charger, ~53kW

[edit] Had another forum member (Tabarnouche) stop by, his car had 50% and he found it was charging at 74ish kW.. so guess it’s not throttled

Enjoy!!

@Chuq @BlueShift

I can see your point. I came in with about 190 miles range to start, so I guess it is not surprising that initially I had about 64 kW and later this dropped down into the 40s as I got near to 90% charge.

So cool!
I'll swing by to grab some coffee!
