Supercharger - Centralia, WA

[brianman]

Yes, 85 kwh non-performance version.

Nailed it.

You'll have a blast.

Anyone have an update on the Centralia Supercharger? Pictures of construction progress, if any?

Thanks

Likely end of July since it will start after Burlington is finished and the Burlington installation is already started. It takes just under a month to finish. I recently drove by Centralia and there was no activity.

End of July is a bummer but not the end of the world.

Thanks for the update.

Sucks for TesLive travel. I guess we'll reroute.

I was told by a Tesla salesperson in Bellevue that Centralia is likely end of June. This was just last weekend that he told me that.

Unfortunately he would be wrong. I wish I were wrong.

I hate to say it but the sales folks at the Bellevue Gallery are not the best informed. When I did my last test drive, I knew FAR more about the car than they did. In fact the gal that went with us for the test drive didn't understand the difference between a super charger and the HPWC.

I think you are right. Translation: Centralia not this month.

When I bought my car from Bellevue they actually had the WCGH map up of all the CHAdeMO chargers in the area and showing the CHAdeMO rate-of-charge etc, with some math for a trip from Seattle to California using those.

Are they still doing that?

bwahaha. No I didn't see that. I think the sales associates are generally selected for, um, other attributes.

I checked the site out yesterday and there has been a little progress since I was last there. We found new utility paint for the power lines and some stakes that were pounded into the ground and painted. It looked like they were for designating a place to install a platform for an additional transformer or maybe an obelisk.

I'm guessing the end of July.

Four weeks from now maybe they can have one up and running? Would be nice, but the HPWC in Tigard should work to get a full charge as an option.

In the Burlington SC Thread, MBCMDR reported that the same crew doing both sites, ran into a problems at Centralia and focused on Burlington instead. So Centralia is later.

 

[DouglasR]

Yeah, unless they have enough workers to do them simultaneously, I would think this one won't be done until August. I hope sooner.

Doh! I was hoping the ditch witches would be showing up there today. I'm curious about what the issue might be.

They are using a mini excavator sorry but still on site in Burlington, I guess up to or thru weekend as using the bucket to lift and place heavy things in place, after concrete pour have some other things to place, I hope pour tomorrow then Friday place the stuff even on green concrete and you get the mini excavator your direction or they wait after weekend to place stuff..

No digging yet. Just this stuff:

[Discoducky]

Yes, thanks for the pic's, anyone have guess what those are for?
