Still no light as of this evening...

Nothing this afternoon.

They've added some nice evergreens, but still no power.

Still not working, I even tried to plug in and charge, incase the lights were not working.

Tesla was onsite yesterday working in the cabinets, including a Tesla van and a tech in his Model S. Thought they might be back today to finish the task but it doesn't sound like they were around.

We Have Power!

@Jwilksftw ;

Looks like I was there just before you and we missed each other. I was there about half an hour ago and talked with the installation technician. I actually tested out one of the pedestals for him!

But yes: it is active. Hopefully will show on the MCU screen soon!

@Only Trons

You are officially first then I think! Super pumped! Yea the tech was cool.

just there at 10:45 pm. was only getting 27kW but i was over 70% already -- and cold battery. Nice to have another N VA option.

It's up and running. Just finished charging this morning and used the time to shop at Trader Joe's across the street

Arrived with 40% SOC and reached 73kW, so not near V3 levels but nice to have this location!

40% SOC is nowhere near low enough to achieve anything close to the highest-speed charging though I would've expected a bit more than 73 kW, at least initially. .

I was driving past anyway so decided to stop and charge last night. Ended up ordering takeout from Jason's Deli, where we had been regulars but hadn't been back since the pandemic hit.

Charging speed was pretty low for a supercharger, but I was already close to 50%, and my car seems to have been supercharging slower pretty much everywhere over the past ~year.

Almost sounds like Vienna on charge rates, pretty low. I've had similar rates there.

I would like to know what someone gets pulling in there empty.

The guys from LES told me the cabinets, must be carefully calibrated and networked together for maximum output KW. They did this site, so one would think they did. Vienna was built by someone else.

Vienna supercharger is something. The charge rates now are low compared to when they first opened.

First time at a V3, this past week. One of three model 3's, I started at 150kW at 25%SoC, which fell to 135kW by 35%... [email protected]%... 70kW until 80%.

Charged here this past Friday evening - while the stalls themselves are lit, they are dim and it's very dark otherwise. Not a big deal but could use some type of light.
