Great progress! I usually stop at beaver dam during travel so I will be checking these new v3s out in person soon!
I’ll be driving through this Sunday, I will take a photo and updateThe best part of the V3s is not sharing available power with your neighbor. At many of the busy V2 locations I've been to there were so many people you couldn't get your own charging unit so the speed was dropped to ~70kw.
It's been a couple weeks - anyone have updates on this location? I'll likely be driving through the area in about a month - it would be great to have this one available.
Hey JWAMY, when are you going through Beaver dam again? Make a trip down that way the first week in Oct. Like to know if the Superchargers will be installedView attachment 705765
Went by beaver dam today. More or less the same progress as last week, however I did confirm that one of the eight chargers will be off to the side corner for those towing and charging per suggestion to Tesla.

Not necessarily...there have been several popping up and going online in just a few weeks lately. It seems Tesla and certain utilities are really starting to streamline the process. Of course that doesn't mean that all utilities and zoning jurisdictions (usually the bottleneck) are all that way, but things have been improving.It's highly unlikely they'll be online by then. This being your first forum comment I'm under the impression you haven't been driving a Tesla for long? The Superchargers take MONTHS from start of construction to being available for use.
There have recently been some sites in the midwest that actually have gone in very quickly even without the prefab approach.The prefab Superchargers are installed pretty fast. I don’t think Beaver Dam will be prefab, so it will take the usual few months most likely.

Granted, I think with hurricane season upon us, utilities have been busy with other more pressing needs, as well as actual hardware (i.e. transformer) shortages, so things may be a little slower now, but overall I think the construction timelines have shrunk. Granted, sites may sit in the "permit" phase longer, but I think Tesla has determined the appropriate time to start construction based on expected transformer and utility availability so they prioritize sites that are ready to go.
I had a Tesla for many years actually! My home town is in Western Ky and it would be nice to have a charging station in that location since the nearest locations are over an hour off my final destinationIt's highly unlikely they'll be online by then.

Took a roadtrip today from Louisville to Land Between the Lakes & back. Stopped at the Beaver Dam rest area & saw the new Supercharger location construction. Spoke with one of the workers & he said they had 2 weeks of work to finish ( photo attached). Transformer still not in place . As mentioned in earlier posts, this will be 8 stalls with 1 way off to the side to accomodate towing . This is a very busy location that will be great for stopping for a charge before reaching Kuttawa in west Ky ( 8 stalls at 150kw). This will make the trip to west Ky. much less stressful. Hopefully Elizabethtown is still in the works. Preston Hwy. in Louisville was live today as well although not offically recognized as such (free charging today!).
I saw the schematics for the Elizabethtown one. They are going in where the Subway is by the new truck stop where the WK Parkway ends.Hopefully Elizabethtown is still in the works. Preston Hwy. in Louisville was live today as well although not offically recognized as such (free charging today!).
The same company doing the Preston one in Louisville is doing the Beaver Dam one, so hopefully with the Louisville one being done, they can speed things up at Beaver Dam. Don't know who's doing the Etown one yet.It would be great if those of us who visit sites under construction could get in the habit of asking the workers if they know where they're headed next
