Looks like this will be the spots and possibly 1 pull-in at the north end of the 8 stall section.

Stopped by today and not much progress. Switch gear is still in its packaging.

Decent progress as of 1/9/2024. Great location with restaurants and easy interstate access.

Qty 12 of the V3 stalls, 2 are side stalls and it looks like some extra spaces for non Tesla cars to get close without blocking other posts.

No magic dock but they did also include plan level 2 with magic dock on the back side, 4-6 I think. For timing there was a contractor there and he mentioned delays for the transformer and a meter. Could be months more before this site is live based on what he is hearing for lead times. Electrical meters and transformers are in short supply these days it sounded like.

if these new supercharger are V3, does that mean a non Tesla ev can use them if I buy an adapter?

Unfortunately, no. Tesla doesn’t currently have any 3rd party billing set up for Superchargers, except for those that have been retrofitted with Magic Dock CCS adapters built Into them.

I hope you're wrong about these new supercharger not being the "magic dock" models. I talked to A2Z, the company that makes supercharger adapter for non teslas, and they said the car/app has to do the handshake to start and charge the fee. A2Z stated, for example, the ford pass app would help connect car to supercharger. I have a VW egolf, which has no app like Ford pass or what ever GM uses.

Coming along.

Transformer and meter are in maybe just commissioning now or power connect.

Anyone been by here recently? that last pic seems like they could be live any day now, I've got a trip next week passing through was hoping to use this site rather than the other peoria one i loathe.....

 

[Eric1122]

Utility Meter is on but showing all zeros seems utility connected but Tesla still needs to commission their side I guess.

No change, stopped by just the other day. I also talked to a Tesla Supercharger maintenance guy I bumped into in Iowa. Interesting conversation. Some things of interest:

1) Nobody, as far as he knows, knows the status of any of the "in progress" installations, and maintenance can't do shite about them. Apparently these was no turnover of status or next steps of any of the "in progress" installs. This means even if it's "done" nobody knows contractual status or legal viability to operate the darn things.
2) His take was the some of the expansion team were great, but some were tools too, and things had gotten crazy slow and political in that team. He seemed to think starting over wasn't entirely bad.
3) He was clear there was NO inpact to the maintenance team. Meaning repair of existing is unaffected.

So when will it the EP SC site come online? Dunno. The site looks physically complete.
