This is ridiculous... I will have to drive that way for work once the stay at home orders are lifted. Should have been operational months ago.
From KC Tesla Facebook page: Tesla tech there yesterday doing testing, city still has to inspect, hopefully operating soon.

City inspectors will not have to perform another inspection. I just corresponded with the chief inspector. They did their inspection back in April. The city inspector will drive by tonight to see if the Tesla logos are lit. or Someone in the area can drive by confirm if they are working. I live in Atlanta.

@BlueShift @Chuq @MarcoRP, the site is live. You can barely make out the green light on my charging port.
Got my first first-day session in. Hope someone hadn’t charged earlier in the week and didn’t report it here, so that remains. Will report in an join the fun on the Most Superchargers Visited thread in the coming days.
My first time charging at a v3 Supercharger. Someone must have left right before I was there right after sunset. I could hear a pump or fan running inside one of the pedestals when I got out of the car, apparently for the liquid cooling in the cable, which is noticeably thinner than the ones on the v2 cabinets. After my car was plugged in for a few minutes, I also noticed the sound of a fan/pump running in the pedestal I was using.
Like @BestyS, I didn't get a great charging speed, but I was also at about 60-65% SOC when I plugged in.

Looks like the charger is on Tesla's online map of Superchargers, but it isn't showing in the car's navigation yet.
It looks like A Better Route Planner has it added now, so I can now plan trips more accurately.

Congratulations midwesterners for finally having this supercharger! I don’t live in the area anymore but I remember the early posts about it in 2015, it has been a long road for this one. I’m sure the trip from wichita to KC is a lot easier now.

Plugshare's policy is that only Tesla is allowed to add SuperChargers to the Plugshare map.
What we’ve all learned with tesla promptness to turn it on... they should change that policy.
Or at bare minimum have a checklist of how turn it on.(update Tesla maps, app, And all third party share apps on same day)
