Supercharger - Buckeye, AZ

[unclegeek]

Awesome!! Keep us posted on the ribbon cutting! (note I got my Avatar setup finally!)

HEY EVERYONE!

(sorry for shouting, but I'm so excited)

The Buckeye supercharger is online! My battery was already over 50% full, so I'm sure I didn't get the full current. I maxed out at 80 kW and it quickly ramped down into the 70s thereafter. This is my first time using a supercharger. The connector is thick and heavy, and it fits very snugly in the charge port. If you don't shove it in all the way with a nice push, you'll get the red ring of death. I had to plug and unplug several times until I got it just right. Also, the cord is not very long, so you'll want to back up as close to the curb as possible. Backing into the stalls is going to be fun at lunch time, this is a busy parking lot here at Carl's Jr!

Tesla has not yet officially announced that this location is live.

The Buckeye supercharger is online! ...

Hooray! and just in time

We'll leave Tucson early tomorrow morning (~ 5 A.M.) and have breakfast at Carl's (about 7:30) while the Model S gets its breakfast, too!

Then on to Kingman, Barstow... and eventually Burlington WA.

Not yet, but the Buckeye Supercharger page on the Tesla website now takes you to "access denied" instead of the Europe map, so it's almost official!

Well, that's terrific. You don't suppose there's not going to be an official opening???????

 

[Ghostryder]

Great news! That will make my trip to Phoenix on Monday a whole lot easier.

Ribbon cuttings are much later than when the location becomes operational and shows up on the nav/website.

OK, so Buckeye is open. No word of a ribbon-cutting, but I've got Friday open, so I'm heading up from Tucson for a "Six Dollar Low-Carb Burger" Anyone else in? I get a bit busy after tomorrow so don't think I'll make to any ribbon-cutting next week.:smile:

I'm going to invite Len, the Economic Development guy to join me, burger on me (for Len, that is!)

Perfect Timing; thanks for the update! I will be driving from San Diego back towards Colorado tomorrow. Should be at Buckeye after lunch!

Arizona now has 6 superchargers, second only to California

What timing!!! I'm leaving in my 60 from San Diego to Phoenix. I was seriously worried about the leg from Yuma. Excellent!!

What time do you think you'll be there? Our work network is going offline at 1pm tomorrow, so can head out to Buckeye around then, likely arriving around 1:45-2:00...

Unofficial Ribbon-cutting Ceremony...

My wife and seven-year-old son with the original Flat Stanley will be stopping off at the new Buckeye Supercharger station this Sunday on their trip from Phoenix, to Palm Springs. They plan to have their own little unofficial Flat Stanley ribbon-cutting ceremony Sunday morning. Guests are always welcomed.
Exact arrival time not yet determined; perhaps 10:30 - 11:00 am Sunday.

I'll see if I can be there closer to 1:00... My office is near downtown Phoenix, so about 30 min to the supercharger...
