Wow! Pretty cool. Crestview went up pretty quick. Maybe on to Pensacola next? Pensacola isn't scheduled till Q4. And no permits issued as far as I know. But nice to see this progress along I-10.
Requested the permit a couple of weeks ago and got the email today. Pretty efficient process considering the permit was submitted on 1/7.
Saw that a Tesla energy rep was there as I was pulling in to test out the chargers. He said that there’s an issue with the transformer and some water getting inside. They are not online just yet.
The Plugshare page for this location now shows the stations locked as type Supercharger, and Tesla updated the the Find Us listing page with the address for this Supercharger and removed "(coming soon)".
Which stall did you charge on? I never went past 165kw...it took 45 min to charge on the end when I tested it this past Friday....others on Plugshare were reported 84 and 42kW even...I thought V3 was supposed to be not affected by someone charging next to you and easily go above 200kW....didn't seem much fast that typical V2's
What kind of vehicle are you driving and at what state of charge did you begin charging? I just checked PlugShare and the recent check-ins with power listings are: Feb 21: 230 kW (Model 3) Feb 20: 189 kW (Model 3) Feb 20: 74 kW Feb 19: 165 kW (Model 3) Feb 19: 84 kW (Classic Model S) Feb 17: 42 kW (Classic Model S) Remember that charging speed can vary significantly depending on vehicle age, model, number of miles, state of charge, battery temperature and station utilization (yes, power can still be limited if a V3 station is busy). Nothing seems out of the ordinary with this location.
I was the 4th one on the list...2019 Model 3 LR RWD...had about 30 miles on the battery...40,000 miles total...temp outside, probably 55 degrees, another model 3 was charging on the other end....left about 15 min into the charge...spent maybe 10 min around 150-165kW...hovered around 70-100kW for the most part....still seemed slow, charged at multiple V2's over the years... glad its open, was hoping for more speed...mass adoption might have a hard time with 45 min charge time...hoping these numbers shorten over time...
Took a ride to Destin today, just for fun. On the way back got a quick charge at Crestview. We were only there a short time, charging at 500+ miles per hour. Never got to full "V3 power". But it was pretty quick and then back on the road. This charger is really close to I-10. Really nice if you happen to be on a road trip and just need some juice and go.
