Supercharger - Buckeye, AZ

[Monsoon]

REALLY ! ! ! I'm overwhelmingly impressed with the roll-out of Superchargers in Arizona and don't care much if they are Gen I, II, or III, rounded or flat on top. It's very nice to know that I can go where I want to and have no anxiety about getting home. Hope that Tesla builds out the whole country, puts a solar canopy on the solar-friendly venues and eventually outfits them with the latest charging technology, but broad coverage has got to be the #1 priority.

I second that!

Buckeye Supercharger Update!

Photo taken today, lots of progress! One of the contractors told me that they are within days of having the site inspected and believes it will be online within 1-2 weeks.

YAHOO!

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. Surprised they're not installing the new covers. Wonder when we'll start to see those pop up at other locations beside Hawthorne.

The cinderblock wall is handsome. The site is coming along quickly. Our Arizona weather makes construction smooth, without delays.

Any guesses on a ribbon cutting date? Or are those considered passé these days?

 

[AmpedRealtor]

City of Buckeye will be involved with the ribbon cutting. City manager said that they have all been put on alert regarding an impending ribbon cutting, but do not yet have a date. I will keep calling to see if they will share. I'm also volunteering my Model S if they would like a car there during the ribbon cutting. Of course, perhaps we could wrangle other Model S owners in the Phoenix area to attend.

Would love to be there! And if everyone remains nice, we might bring Borealis along for some pawtographs (and Aurora, too....!). Keep all posted.

Be prepared to be upstaged if I can make it. I'll be bringing Razz, the wonder dog, with me.:wink:

This will be the first supercharger in practical driving range of Tucson. If at all possible, I'll be there!

Try to keep the Feb, 10, 11 or 12 in mind. I will propose the 12th. Let me know if this is good for you guys. We would like to make a big showing there.

12th is good for me, assuming it is a morning event.

You can count me in to be there for the ribbon cutting.
Let us know when and what time.

I went for a drive out to the Buckeye Supercharger site this morning on the off chance it was working prior to being announced.

No joy. The stalls behave as if they are unpowered. The site looks totally ready however. I guess all it needs is somebody to cut a ribbon and another to throw a switch somewhere.

Any word? Trying to plan my week.

Date has been postponed to Feb 19th -21. Now I am proposing Friday Feb 21st. Keep the fingers crossed

How are you guys proposing a ribbon cutting date? I thought that was selected by Tesla and then communicated to the customers.

 

[miller1744]

Is the delay caused by Ribbon Cutting problems or by supercharger problems. I hope that we will be able to use the supercharger earlier than the current proposed ribbon cutting date.

Where are these dates coming from? City of Buckeye manager told me they have no dates and Tesla has told me that they will send an email out to local owners when the ribbon cutting dates have been finalized.

Ya, I'm on the same page as you. Aren't the dates dictated to the owners not the other way around.
