This is literally 1300 Feet from my office. Which mean's I'll never have to use it but but It's nice to know it's there.

Colfax SC is up and running. Limited to 37-40 kW for now.

Nice! Will be so much nicer than the current greensboro stop

Colfax SC is up and running. Limited to 37-40 kW for now.

Actually it's just your car that limiting it to 37-40kW. You have a very high state of charge. That is probably normal for that battery level. Try again with a 10-20% state of charge and you will get much better charging speed.

Ahh, Makes sense - I wasn't sure if it was throttling or not as it was the first day the Charger was up and working. I'm sure it's up to 100% of a charge rate either way by now.

Stopped here sunday. Way easier stop than the other greensboro supercharger IMO.

This is a great location! Traveling from Raleigh to Banner Elk it let me skip over Hickory and have a more direct route and the fact it is v3 made charging quick. The exit is a lot less hectic than Mebane, and the old Greensboro location so getting off the highway and charging and back on the route was very easy. I stopped here going both directions and charging was fast and convenient and will be my new "jump point" to Boone/Banner Elk area coming from Raleigh area.

Does anyone know why the Colfax and Greensboro Superchargers are currently down?

 

[SigNC]

greensboro is down because they are rebuilding the sheetz. Curious about colfax myself.

 

[BrownOuttaSpec]

I was planning on using this Colfax location on Saturday, I hope it is fixed soon or else going to have to go back to the Hickory SuC to reach the Boone area.

Both Greensboro and Colfax are both listed as temporarily unavailable. Any idea if that is an error or how long that might be for?

 

[SigNC]

I called tesla today and they didn't know how long colfax would be offline or why. Greensboro is down for sheetz reconstruction and I'd not plan on it being online for a bit.

I was here yesterday just to check things out, no power to the stalls. Nothing visible damaged and there was still power on the meter of the big green electric box.

My only random guess is that they foresee some issue with the water spray from the Sheetz car wash blowing onto the V3 cabinets. Either directly causing issues (Corrosion?) or will be causing issues when weather gets below freezing. No idea just wild speculation though since everything else looked normal.

Not really anything to add to @BrownOuttaSpec 's report, except I stopped by to investigate on Sunday as well and everything was still as described: meter is powered up; everything looks to be in good shape; no visible construction or anything in the area; but definitely no power to the pedestals.
