Supercharger - Bend, OR - N HWY 97 (Bend Sales/Service Center)

[Mrbrock]

This is out of the blue (but permit has been issued for a while). With the second Bend Supercharger going in at the Springhill Suites on SW Industrial, this location doesn't have a grey pin on the map but popped up in a dig ticket search. With trenching happening to bring in power from down the street, it is unlikely this is just destination chargers. 4 seems to be a small number but maybe it is 4 cabinets for 16 chargers. We can hope. The application date of 1/2022 fits with the initial grey pin for Bend popping up for Q1 2023 but the Springhill Suites site beat this one to the punch.

Another permit for this.

Interesting discovery. I think we should let this develop a little more before adding a blue pin.

Agreed, if I had to guess, it is going to be for service use only but that would also require some gates to control access based on the most recent street view images.

Anybody been through recently or visited the Sales center and have a report?

I was told it would not be available for general use, and didn’t see any work going on. Picked up my Model Y on 2/4.

The location in the thread title and the permits posted so far is not the sales/service center itself. I think @Mrbrock is just wondering if any of the employees at the service center know anything about this location.

Actually the location is the sales/service center. The addresses are the same. The location is in the small strip of spots along NW Norwood to the south of the building and I was able to answer my own question today. @Big Earl is this enough for a blue pin? I spied Two pedestal bases in along with conduits to the equipment pad. There was a lot of street work so was too busy to get out and explore more.

Whoops! I stand corrected on the location! It would make sense that a service center Supercharger might not be available to the public.

Yes, it will be wait and see but there is easy access from Norwood and the main Tesla lot so they would need to fence it in the prevent access. Having to enable specific cars to prevent the public from using seems hard to do. But maybe they already have that in place so who knows. Looks like it should be up and running in a few months so we will find out if it shows up in the nav.

I suspect this will be a 4-stall site for service center use. I can add it, but if it turns out that it isn't open to the public, we'll need to remove it. Do you think it's worth adding now or waiting?

I vote wait.

I vote wait as well. It will be interesting to see how it is restricted since there is currently open access to that lot.

Updated dig ticket. Looks like they’re bringing power to the site next week. Has anyone driven by recently who can see if cabinets or chargers themselves have been installed?

 

[Mrbrock]

Dig ticket for charger installation. Anyone able to check this out? @nelsonfamily
