Was there today, everthing is completed, transformer is set, meter is set and there is an inspection passed sticker on the meter but no power to the meter. Looks like it is just waiting for Tesla to do the final checks and commisioning.View attachment 663683

Some new photos of the site posted to the Tesla Owners Portland Facebook page. Person who posted says they didn't know if it was activated yet and didn't have a car to test.
A refreshing change! Outdoor lighting is getting excessive. I say this while making a living doing lighting design (among other things)... sometimes less is more.Interesting there doesn't seem to be any overhead lights at the supercharger, but there are elsewhere in the parking lot. In the past it seemed Tesla almost always added one or two when building out a location.
Agreed! Less light is also better for humans and wildlife (especially migratory birds) in most cases. Plus, people think more lighting reduces crime, but that's not necessarily the case.

You and my father-in-lawAs someone who has a mild flashlight hobby/addiction, I agree
Which one was broken, the Chademo?I really needed this supercharger a week ago on an Alturas to Richland segment since, as always, the Chargepoint charger in Burns was malfunctioning and would not turn on. I was stranded there for a while along with another Tesla using the J1772 in the same lot. No other EV manufacturer is going to succeed if they have to rely on the third party charging network with it's insane reliability issues. I bet half of the non-Tesla chargers that I've tried to use over the years have been broken.
Yep. I remember being a somewhat new owner (in the first few months) and getting excited that I would soak up some level 2 charging at a zoo so when I was heading out of town I would be fully charged and giving up after 20 minutes and three of the different chargers. I knew I had a supercharger just outside of town and plenty of range to make it. But if I was without the supercharger network, that would have been stressful and really made me worry. I probably would have started to hit chargers when at like 50% battery instead of running it down more (and people think I'm cautions by trying to pull in around 20%). It only takes a couple times having a tricky trip because of non-working chargers to really build a habit of only using 100 or 120 miles of your ~240 mile range before looking for a charger and running it back up to 90% or 100%. That means you're always at the slowest part of the charge and often sitting just as long as if you had pulled in at 10% or 15%.I really needed this supercharger a week ago on an Alturas to Richland segment since, as always, the Chargepoint charger in Burns was malfunctioning and would not turn on.
