Supercharger - Cambridge, ON

"Google Brampton elevation"

Brings up a map with elevation wherever you pin the map. Have at it.

Also, Waterloo is not Cambridge and YYZ is not in Brampton.

Topographic map Brampton

800 feet elevation in the heart of town, gets up to 900 feet in the northern part of Brampton, 700 in the southern tip near Mississauga.

I see you tried to post the link, but your original post is truncated at that point for me. Does it display in your browser?

I thought in this case we were talking about height to the concord supercharger, not to anywhere in Brampton. To my surprise (based on teslafi) the supercharger is almost 47m higher elevation than YYZ. [Edit: now that I can click the link from your post, it would say 49m between those two locations, which I think is sufficient to consider the map and teslafi to be in agreement.]

On average, Waterloo and Cambridge have the same elevation according to Google. The data are most interesting from SC site to SC site as those are the drives we'll actually be doing.

The original conversation was just Brampton to Cambridge. Nothing to do with concord. You came in half way. Have a look at the posts.

Not sure why we're nitpicking about the locations, but the original discussion was wallstguy@ trying to figure out if he could round trip queen st & gore <--> fork & cork, and cambridge/brampton only entered the equation because mknox@ was trying to add in his experience of the trip generally. Since Concord is the SC which is the subject of this thread, and is among the few places for the OP to try to go from KW in order to make it back to downtown, it seems reasonable to me to focus on that destination given the conversation. If getting from KW to Toronto on 157km of range, when he consumed 430Wh/km on the way there doesn't involve one of charging or gasoline, I'd like to use your method of travel

Making it from the Fork & Cork to the Concord SC on 157km of range is possible but risky in down to -15C temps. I have done it @ 330Wh/km outside temp -16C, inside temp 22C, which would amount to 151km of rated range, which is too close for comfort starting @ 157km, even for me.

Sorry if I offended you by asking where you were measuring from/to, or by involving locations that make sense to me and might be useful to other drivers like the OP.

lol no offense.

I was just saying I made a comment to Mknox about his old drive and he replied and then you jumped in the middle of that conversation, questioning what I was posting and why i was posting it.

No worries, everyone. I worked in Cambridge and live in Brampton and did that commute in a Chevy Volt and Tesla Model S for about 3 years. I noticed that with great consistency I used more energy on the Brampton to Cambridge run than on the trip home. My assumption was an elevation change at the Niagara Escarpment (roughly Milton along the 401) and assumed that was it. Others have speculated that prevailing winds run in my favor on the trip home as well. It was not a huge difference, but enough to be noticeable.

Wiring today/this week!
Still no transformer on the other side of the road though.

As I understand, that photo is not from the Cambridge site ... so I marked post as disagree ... no harm meant

 

[MarcoRP]

And I think that it's a bit harsh to disagree on post which actually might be at Cambridge

Is this Cambridge?

 

[_casshern_]

Looks about right for Cambridge.

Google Maps

I've visited the site on my trips from Georgetown to Kitchener. Definitely Cambridge. I can't wait for it to open. It will come in handy when making the trip out to Ranger games.

Sigh. The user posted the same picture in two threads and said in the other thread that he posted a duplicate in this thread. I was just outlining that to be helpful folks...

I dropped by today and fondly bump into this beauty, not knowing the exact location.

My kids are well trained. I wasn’t planning to dropped by, but one of the kids said that she had to go washroom, and the other was hungry. Just thought the Walmart is a good location...and on the turn to it. BUMP!!

They are still not working, but fence is out, and hose can be accessed. On plugging in no juice comes out.

Awesome location...

 

[blackscraper]

Will it be online tomorrow?

I will drop by later in the afternoon

Removing the fence is a good sign, but who knows. It could be online today or it could still be a month or two. The new Barrie site looked like it was ready for a good month before being activated.

Updated photo from today at noon. Fences down but no juice as of yet

It looks lie you are parking at an angle and thus potentially blocking other Tesla owners from charging! LOL!

This was my second stall trying..as I suspected they were not working I didn’t care to park well, just to get close enough with having to reverse. The wife was waiting inside the Walmart..

 

[mrElbe]

There might be no charging for your car but the wife could be "charging" at Walmart.

 

[MarcoRP]

Maybe they aren't active yet because the parking lot isn't entirely paved yet. I saw photo just now and it would seem to make sense. Maybe it's been painted brown but we may only know if someone licks the floor.
