And precast pedestal bases next to the lift? They look a little large unless they are for 2 bases each. Great news but likely not in time for my trip through in 9 days on the 27th.

Yes. And those are the normal ones for 1 stall a piece. Hard to get a good feel for their size from pictures as they're bigger than they look in most pics posted here.

Great, but is there any sign of a large, green power transformer? That will be the utility company’s contribution to provide 1000 Amp service, and is usually the thing that holds up the chargers from being turned on.

Sometimes the Tesla equipment goes in quickly but we can then wait weeks or months more for the utility company to install the transformer needed to energize the supercharger equipment.

The transformer was installed a while ago. Confirmed in post 16 here.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say NO to that one.

I know. One can hope. If only it was the prebuilt units. Then it would be quick and easy.

It's been done before!

I know, that’s why I hold out hope. Considering all the work that was done before permitting and whatnot, I expect them to work at all hours and be done sunday. Working Monday.

 

[Mrbrock]

Any updates from people in the area? Departing tomorrow with a wednesday eta for Boardman. Guess I’ll just check the nav as we get closer.

Looks like we will be waiting on your report. Seriously, don’t count on it, probably less than 1% chance of being completed. If heading to Kennewick, take 730 through Irrigon, which saves a significant amount of battery.

Thanks for the tip! And we’ll see if I have time to swing through.

Or cross the river to 14 at Maryhill

Would ABRP naturally select the most efficient route or do I need to click a setting to force that?

+1 on that - in addition to being shorter, I think WA-14 is more fun to drive.

Nope, you’ll need to just remember to turn north on US-97 at Biggs Junction, or maybe set a waypoint at the World War I Stonehenge Memorial, 97 Stonehenge Dr, Goldendale, WA 98620.

Quick aside, I've been to that memorial and it's very striking. Worth a stop.

My wife and I just went there a couple months ago. The Maryhill Museum of Art is the really cool part that is a few miles from that Stonehenge memorial.
