Supercharger - Durango, CO

I have a more current S, 2019, I don't know older like yours but I'd reach out to Tesla and have them do a over the air check or - going to your preferred Service Center is a better first decision. It's hard for anyone to say NO to your face.
Youl could easily solve this problem by plugging into a v3 stall yourself.
This site is kind of unusual in that it is now 9 stalls. I guess they didn't have room for 4 more stalls when they added the v3 cabinet, so they only added 3.
Yup, I could take the V3, but in general and if I have a choice, I'll burn up one of the V2 slots as I can't take advantage of the V3 speeds anyway. Also remember that if I'm pulling 85 kW, I'm only going to get throttled down to 70-ish kW when someone pulls in after me, so this is more of a humorous rant than a real issue (for me). The huge difference is to the other user as they're pulling far less than the 250 kW they would conceivably pull at the V3. If they're up for a conversation I'll usually let them know.
Also, I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for the "missing" 10th stall in Trinidad. I thought there had to be a pull through space somewhere...

So refreshing to see when someone considers others.
I'm curious as well. I'd like to do a trip to Durango but want to wait until this 'planned' SC opens...
I may have uncovered a clue earlier when I looked at Colorado's NEVI funding plans for 'by 2025'. A bunch of grants were listed for various locations and the owners as well. Tesla got several sites, including Cortez (yay!), Durango (hmm), Pagosa Springs and Poncha Springs. Plus some in the eastern plains. NEVI funding in general isn't setting any speed records for getting things in the ground, but hopefully the pace will pick up. Perhaps the Durango site would have been done by now if it weren't NEVI-funded.
These were all listed for the 2025 plan, which I interpreted to mean 'get construction done' by then. My 'hmm' above for Durango is because I didn't know the earlier plans for one involved NEVI funding, and I had expected more progress to date..
there is no sign of any construction at the Durango site as of this evening. I drive by every day, so if I see something I’ll let everyone know.
Just got this from a Supercharger guy on Reddit:
I can see two Supercharger sites in Durango. Both are pending with no set opening date. One at 1220 Carbon Jct. and another at 250 W 8th st. The one at Carbon is currently undergoing lease negotiations. There are also three commercial charging stations that are pending- one at the Hampton inn, one at the Double Tree by Hilton and one at Homewood suites.

I should add, I follow the Park City install too and though it's almost done there's a 6 month wait for a transformer, so this one is still probably a year out I'm guessing...

I agree regarding the workers never being on site, but there is progress so they must be there at some point during the day. That said, none of it really matters if there isn't a transformer. There have been sites 100% complete that have sat for months waiting on the transformer install. If...

Which is crazy because there are sites that got the transformer first before anything. Aurora, CO new SUC is an example
Agreed. I don't know how much Elon's hissy fit with the supercharger team has to do with the seeming disconnects but I'm sure all the turmoil has significantly reduced efficiencies, at least for a while. Coordinating install teams and ensuring they have the required contracts, permits, manpower and materials when they're needed requires some leadership stability - let's hope things settle down soon....
