Supercharger - Brighton, CO

[Zaxxon]

There was a report on Facebook from someone at Silverthorne who ran into a Tesla Supercharger team member working on resolving issues with a couple of stalls there. He was supposedly then headed to commission Kremmling, so I imagine this one is coming Real Soon Now™, as well.

Interesting. Maybe I’ll try another stall next time I’m around there.

I heard they are having moisture problems with the install

Drove by today, all of the SC have yellow caution tape on the connectors.
So sadly still down.

Same today.

Apparently this must have been turned on within the past day or two, since I discovered in my Tesla app now shows a Brighton Co Supercharger. It still isn't on the Tesla website map of superchargers.

It still isn't on the Tesla website map of superchargers.

It's live on Tesla's website this morning: Brighton, CO Supercharger | Tesla

Website not that reliable.... states 150 kW (clearly 250's)

I noticed when Conifer came online recently that the website initially said 150 kW as well. It will probably be corrected in the next week or so.

I see Brighton listed correctly as 250 kW in my car but it's showing only 4 of 8 stalls available, as if 4 cars are currently charging there.

... it's showing only 4 of 8 stalls available, as if 4 cars are currently charging there.

I believe they also do that when they know there are stalls offline. Maybe there are 4 stalls that still aren't completed but they wanted to get something working.

Confirmed working on only four stalls currently.

Maybe that's Tesla's modus operandi now. When these 250's have opened, more often than not they start out reduced charging (as if testing the equipment before enabling the full charging capability). Then when they do go to full charge capability, they update the website.

Actually, it would be letting prospective chargers know the real capability at that moment.

I used it yesterday, it is kind of slow so something must not be quite turned on. I was only getting 147 mi/hr max at the station.

 

[Zaxxon]

Using it now. Still only 4 of 8 enabled. The others are still taped off.

 

[WFrank]

Max Charge Rate was 440 mph. Four Stalls still taped off.

These mph charge rates are meaningless without context. Need to know model type and SOC at a minimum.

I charged there on Sunday. It reached 175 kW at about 31% SoC on 2017 Model S 100D. Not bad! It stayed there for barely 1 minute though. I charged from 24% to 81% in about 40 minutes.

 

[X105-Strike]

48% SoC yesterday and I was getting 117kW [450mph of charge rate]. Still pretty slow. Normally I can still hit 150kw or higher at that SoC. At least it's online and working for people.

I believe this one is now repaired and fully live.

I stopped by today afternoon to charge. All stalls were full with couple of cars waiting at around 2:30 pm. All the cars had fleet license plates and someone in a safety vest was coordinating cars leaving and plugging in. It turned out these were all hertz rental cars and person coordinating was working for hertz. These cars kept coming in back to back. I managed to squeeze in between a car leaving and before the next one pulled in. There were cars that were just parked and not even plugged in. If you are planning to charge here, availability might be an issue until Hertz installs their own chargers (if they even plan to).
