Hi all,
I stopped by Boulder tonight and a Tesla employee was test charging at each stall. He said their final inspection is tomorrow and it will be turned on and live tomorrow! Enjoy! (He's headed to Wheatland, WY later tonight to do the same, in case anyone's headed that way over the weekend).

Wheatland too over Memorial Day *gasp*
Thanks @coloradochris ! The supercharger coordinator at Custer said that was their goal.

Funny that the supercharger is opening just in time for Bolder Boulder when it will be nearly impossible to access due to road closures.
Saw that black Tesla with frunk open when I drove by last night. Was that the test charge? Cones were still there this morning.
Yeah, that was it.. Model S. He said they hadn't gotten their final inspection so aren't allowed it turn it on until that happens today. Hopefully it all goes well. Bolder Boulder: why I leave town every Memorial Day Weekend

You'll be visiting Estes Park, of course. I'll be in Boulder some time after noon, doing a hike in the morning. Give me a call if you need a lunch companion. Or a place to crash.

While that might be helpful, even better (for me) would be the Supercharger Station planned for Conifer in 2019. Boulder to Conifer to Poncha Springs would each take a smaller, quicker charge. Boulder to Poncha Springs in my S60, total range 186 RM, would take a 90% charge to have a reasonable buffer.
Just leaving the site at 6:45 PM this evening and the cones are still there. No one on site. Better head to Estes Bighorn.

Did anyone try using it even though the cones are there? Several active Superchargers have cones in front of them. Just saying....

Dang it I was hoping to swing through today on the way to Estes. I’ve gone up to RMNP and range dropped so fast that I had anxiety going down all the way until I realized that I wasn’t using power for most of the way back.

I charged enough at Silverthorne so I could make Estes Park in the event Boulder was indeed pre-validated. Good thing. Had to backtrack to Loveland, but it's a wonderful road.

Still waiting for city validation as of this morning (5/29). There was a guy from Tesla there this morning who said that the city had a window between 10:30 and noon to hopefully give approval to flip the switch. He didn’t want to promise anything, but it sounded very likely that the supercharger would be open this week, if not later today. Apparently, the problem on Friday was that the fencing company took the permits with them when they removed the fencing from the site last week. The city refused to validate without the required construction permits.
