    That's good news, I tried to use the new Chargepoint ChaDeMo a few weeks ago and couldn't get it to communicate with the car. Plugshare showed a successful Tesla connection two weeks prior to that but other people had similar issues as I had in weeks prior. Ended up sitting on the L2 for 3.5 hours which caused me to drive through a snow storm in the dark.

    I'm not seeing any new documents besides the standard inspection reports that get created whenever anyone clicks the "Print/View Summary" button in the Record Details section. If someone wasn't familiar with the way that the Accela portal works, I can see how it might be easy to misinterpret those listings as actual action even though they aren't. Besides, the permit was already issued back in July and after issuance no more documents need or should be expected to be uploaded. It'll be nice if the tech was right about Tesla's plans to break ground soon, this location has been lacking for a long time, but there's nothing in the online record to indicate any particular new movement.

    Yes, didn't realize it has been discussed already. My mistake. I was in the process of removing post. You beat me to it.

    It certainly seems imminent.... The Find Us feature on Tesla's website has it opening in 2020 (Coming Soon).

    That doesn't mean anything. It's been on the "coming soon" map for the past few years. They just run a script at the beginning of each year and update the ones that still aren't done:
    YEAR = YEAR +1

    Ha ha... thanks for setting me straight. Hopefully the rest of the info is accurate and they'll have it done sooner rather than later.

    This would be an odd time of year to start digging in Burns. Ground should be frozen for the next 2 or 3 months and the days are pretty short.

    Come Tesla! Let’s get that SuperCharger installed! Here’s a pic of 3 cars charging using: CHAdeMO, J-1772, and 14-50. Burns has enough traffic to justify a speedy install.

    worth noting... the permit expires in about 23 days. there were some recent doc uploads on it about 2 weeks ago but the docs are the same as the september doc uploads... which is odd

    does anyone by any chance have an update on this? Did they break ground and start construction?

    I’m sure mocial9 had this right back on Dec 6th because I was the person that had clicked “Print/View Summary” (2 times in early Dec).
    The Facebook gossip is heartening, but Plus EV is likely correct, this is “an odd time of year to start digging in Burns. Ground should be frozen... and the days are short.”

    I drove by at Christmas and pulled into the rite aid parking lot to look for any progress. Didn't see anything yet...

    Most of the Q1 locations have already broken ground. So I guess we can stop checking for a few months if even Tesla doesn't plan on any movement until at least March.

    It will be nice to have the Burns Supercharger. I went from Crescent City, CA to Caldwell, Idaho the other day. We went up through Bend, OR to Ontario, OR.

    We planned on stopping at Burns and use the J-1227 charger for a bit but someone was already there. My Model 3 said we could get to Ontario with 6% so we decided to on anyways. We went the speed limit most of the way but then had to drop down 5mph under and had the heat at 63F the whole time. Got there with 2% battery left. We had a good amount of range anxiety lol.

    Having Burns would make that trip far shorter and less stressful!

    That's definitely a sketchy crossing in winter. This is also why it's best to start off slow when crossing a charging desert, even if you do plan to top off along the way, you just never know if it will be functional and available.

    I’m assuming you don’t have a CHAdeMO adapter otherwise that would have been an option for you. And, there is a 14-50 receptacle there as well but it’s really only useful if you’re desperate — and I have been. We make the Jackson Hole to Bend trip fairly often so the CHAdeMO charger has been really nice.
