Supercharger- Colby, KS

10 stalls! That is great! Having driven this route many times, I rarely see other cars charging, so to see 10 stalls going in must mean they are planning for the future. This will be great!

Nice place and looks like it is almost ready. Transformer and Meter are both in place and most of the paving & signage is done.
Lots of amenities here and a nice picnic area and a dog area as well.
Last April with 50+ MPH headwinds here we had to stop at a RV Park, so its nice we will have a SC open here very soon.

Return trip, no changes

Seems like it may be open, based on Tesla's web site.

Yay. We'll be stopping by in 11 days to check it out.

Charging here now. Works fine. There's still some minor paving that needs to be completed.

Unfortunately someone posted a pic on Plugshare from their charge share yesterday so no virgin charge for me

@BlueShift , It looks like the Supercharger is actually located at the rear of the gas station, at 39.361357, -101.054063:

I think this is the 1000th supercharger station worldwide.

Took a couple of pics yesterday. Looks nice.

I've made Hays to Goodland with my MX 75D in a 30 MPH headwind, but it wasn't pretty. This is a very welcomed addition!

Looks like they added lots of orange cones to convince cars not to park here. Tesla navigation showed 2 of 10 stalls occupied but there was no one here when we stopped to charge. Looks like they still need to finish paving 3 of the stalls but they probably still work. 5 dedicated stalls and 5 shared. Starbucks, Quiznos and Qdoba inside plus lots of snack food available. This stop definitely had more choices than Goodland and is open 24/7.

An employee just came out and said the cones are here since they just poured cement and we should not be using these 7 stalls. I mentioned how other locations have cones to prevent ICEing. Cement seems fine and has been here over a week already. He said a semi parked here last week and they don't want it to crack. Hopefully no ICEing after they remove the cones.
