Stopped by the charger yesterday - no joy. BUT noticed that a line crew is stringing a new set of "high voltage" wires down Eubanks Road. Perhaps related? Could a supercharger create enough additional power draw to put a local service area "over the top" and require additional / bigger line service?
Yes. Absolutely. But it seems unlikely Tesla would or could even get approval to build that site up without the power being in place for it.
there is also a fair amount of development under way along that road, which until pretty recently had very little going on. Could be anything.
OK, so the town permitting department knows zero about it at that address, though there may be a project number they said that would help them check on permits...
Starbucks said they don’t know, they’re leasing the site and that the supercharger was in the purview of the property management company and they have no involvement.
The county GIS property system lists both a local owner LLC and also an investment LLC in Denver that has an interest in the property. I have calls in to both, in one case voice mail, in another case a kind woman who says she will try to get me an answer but she thinks whatever is going on is some thing between Tesla and the town.
As we know, Tesla is not a useful source of information at any time and I won’t be wasting my time with them.
But I also have a call in with senior town staff and will get at least a call back on that.
I thought this string of calls would yield an answer in 5-10 minutes, but no. Stay tuned.
