As of this post, the Henderson, TX location is now showing up on the app and in the vehicle (went live yesterday evening), but not Tesla's website.
I saw a truck and some people working in that area on the back side of Target yesterday. Didn't realize it was related to the SC installation, but, according to this, apparently so.
I live within a few miles of the Bossier City Superchargers and drive by them almost daily. Nothing new to report. There looked to be some directional drilling a couple weeks ago, but nothing further has been done. There's a hole in the ground along the back (eastern) side of the pavement. At least I assume it's a hole - it's marked off with some engineering tape. It's in the area where the #9 is in the dig photo posted above. The wiring is still on a large spool near the chargers. Meters have not been installed. This is the first time I've seen a Supercharger go up, so not real sure of the sequence of things, but there has been very little activity going on there for the last couple months. Rain all day today, so I'm sure nothing new was done.I took a trip to Piccadilly last weekend - it was the first time I had dined at a Piccadilly since I was a kid. Disappointingly, they didn't have chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak, but they still had liver and onions! I had hamburger steak which was pretty good. The mac & cheese, cornbread, and chocolate pie tasted exactly like I remember them tasting decades ago. The background music was 70s hits and the place definitely felt like a time capsule. The floor, walls, and fixtures in the restroom were literally rotting away.
I used the Superchargers in Shreveport for the first time. 6/8 stalls were in use around noon on Saturday. I got 130+ kW and charged from 15% to 50% in 14 minutes.
I intended to drive by the Bossier City Superchargers to check on their progress, but after being depressed by what I saw at The Boardwalk, I headed back home. I remember a time not too many years ago when all four levels of the parking garage were occupied. Saturday afternoon, there were about a dozen cars on the first level, almost none on the second and third levels, and the fourth level was still closed off. I used to always park on the roof and enjoy the view.
So much of the Shreveport/Bossier City area is in bad shape.
13 is the main power tie in as evidenced by the transformer for the building. 8 is where the transformer will go and there will be more conduit from 8 to 1 to get to the switchgear cabinet. If it isn’t ready there.
Was this on the handicap stall by chance? I saw this at my local SuC as well (handicap stall).
I'll have to check and see next time I go by, but that makes perfect sense - extra support on the cable for someone who can't reach the plug.
Yes, it is. Good call!
This is required as the “handle” has to be below a certain max height off the ground. Without have to make separated ada posts with an over dock, this is their solution.
There’s a lot of sites that don’t have 24/7 amenities. Like, most sites don’t have 24/7 amenities.It's been almost two months since any work at all has been done at this site. Surely that can't be normal.
I've been thinking about this location. During the day, it's a good enough place. Target, Ulta, Old Navy, Best Buy are nearby so there is shopping and restrooms. There's a Starbucks and a Pizza Hut in the Target. A couple other places to eat with a bit more of a walk. But these are all open only during the day. There will be no facilities at all after 9 or 10 pm. I'm thankful to someday have a SC nearby in case it's needed for a last minute trip out of town. It just seems there might have been better places with 24/7 services for those traveling through. Also, I'm still hoping they turn that unused part of the building into a service center.
