Supercharger - Ehrenberg, AZ

[rckybbby]

Its open! Paint is fresh and still fences and equipment to be hauled off. Maxed at 115kw in Model X, but a Model 3 owner told me he was at 180kw initially.

Thank you so much Tesla team! Cashier inside said it 'only took them about a week.'

This station really is a lifesaver for this holiday crowd. Thanks for listening Tesla!

Now for Yuma ...

From a Google search: The simple answer is that a Berg is a hill or mountain, whereas a Burg is a fortress. Said fortress is often on top of said hill!
So I'm going with berg. (the maps think so too), someone should tip off Tesla's map people.

From a German language point of view, it's more of a "Burg" than a "Berg," but neither would be truly appropriate given that it's located in a river valley, not on any sort of hill or mountain.

I did some digging though and discovered it was named after Herman Ehrenberg, which makes more sense. So I would go with "Ehrenberg," although wiki does say "Ehrenberg, also historically spelled "Ehrenburg", is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in La Paz County, Arizona, United States," so I guess it's kind of like the Foxborough/Foxboro thing.

In any case, I'm happy to be wrong about the opening date for this supercharger

I was stoked from what I saw on my M3 screen upon arriving from Scottsdale with 78% SOC to 21% when I reached the brand new 250kW SC. First timer V3 user.

I salute the SC team and contractors for making this station possible in less than 2 weeks! You guys are awesome.
I intentionally avoided Quartzsite due to slow charging rate on some of the SC's. I don't care if it is "berg" or "burg", but this is now my favorite spot. Be mindful there's a lot of vehicles coming in and out of the Flying J station. Have a safe trip and keep spreading the news to our fellow members of this group. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

It will not be open by December 14th. But stopping to take pics and post them in this thread would be greatly appreciated.

I guess it’s open. 2 weeks is amazing time.

Blue skies and white clouds today. Arrived at 32% SOC. My 3 LR RWD only hit 156 kW. Have hit 240 kW plus on other V3s at lower SOC. can still see temp lines painted on the ground and construction fencing. The truck stop has tepid food options... Just a Wendy's cinnabon and heat lamp pizza. Pretty cool to be here at day 2

What’s under construction behind the Supercharger?

 

[Vern Padgett]

I'll be able to get pics Wednesday if open. If not, we will have to keep cruising to try and get from Indio to Goodyear to avoid the lines at Quartzsite. Fingers crossed

Lines at Quartzsite. My Goodness. We've been there 2 times, and of all the superchargers in the western United States, Quartzsite is by far the most pathetic.
People line up to charge there?
For reference, I'd say the best Tesla Supercharger Station in the Western United States is Wickenburg Arizona.

What’s under construction behind the Supercharger?

There's some bobcat-type construction equipment and piles of old concrete they ripped up initially.

I think they're done with construction of all the functional stuff, just cleanup and maybe some landscaping left to do

Not only did they spell Ehrenburg wrong, Tesla thinks the charger is in Nashville, Tennessee. Check out my Tesla account, I did some serious traveling today.

Cabazon, CA
Nashville, TN and then
Buckeye, AZ

Nashville TN to Buckeye, AZ in 1.5 hrs has got to be a world distance record for a single charge and a commercial aviation speed record.

Just came through today, hoping to skip Quartzite....nothing works so don’t stop here just yet. Not sure how everyone was able to charge this past week. The pin in the car showed 3 stalls open, when all of them are open and we checked each one, none of them would charge.

Power outage at plaza, all chargers were down at around 1pm thru at least 4pm

 

[TheAmoeba]

Indio is slow/has 2 v2 chargers down as well. I would skip if possible.

In other news, some Tesla drivers are two lazy to find a trashcan.

I know! In the 20 minutes they were charging they couldn't enjoy the beautiful weather and walk a few steps to a trash can?

Power is currently down including the gas station located next to the chargers.

Its open! Paint is fresh and still fences and equipment to be hauled off. Maxed at 115kw in Model X, but a Model 3 owner told me he was at 180kw initially.

Hopefully power is restored immediately to avoid Quartzsite which is known for slow charging capability and long queues.

Stopped by last night around 6:00PM, on my way from Cali to PHX to find out what's going on with this station. A subcontractor for Tesla pulled over, opened up the main circuit breaker trying to troubleshoot the problem. This 250 kW SC opened up 11/30, 3 days after it was out of service. Hopefully power is restored soon.

That’s an APS truck. Looks like an issue with the grid connection or maybe the transformer went bad, not necessarily the supercharger. Transformers are in that box which APS is responsible for.
