Unlikely. Just says the first one in NW will be Forks.
Has anyone been there lately?
No activity 2 months ago when I drove through. I'm planning another trip out that way next month. Will report back with any findings.

I highly doubt it. Unless Elon is doing some weird Twilight-themed grand opening to impress his girlfriend or something.Dose it mean there will be a v3 sc live this Wed 8pm in Fork?

My interpretation. V3 and Forks. Coming sooooon.
Huh.

Heh. I had to go look up where Burning Man is held. But yeah, that's the interesting thing about that huge gap. Burns, OR would cover about three major routes in different directions. I always think of the east-west way, but it also enables that southeast path of Oregon-78 to US-95 and the US-395 path.Yeah, everyone needs a solid route from Portland to Burning Man right? Oregon east and central is definitely lacking in coverage.

I do not understand Elon’s reasoning. V3 won’t give you more range than V2, it will give you the same amount of range but you will spend less time getting it.Huh.

To be fair, Elon hasn't necessarily said this, some Redditor has. And while I think nearly everything sounds reasonable, I agree that this particular point makes little sense. If it's more efficient and faster, it will save the most money and time in a busy location. But then, installing the first one in a busy location would also draw a lot of attention.I do not understand Elon’s reasoning.

Okay, that’s great, but V3’s speed advantage would be best used at extremely busy SC locations to reduce wait times.
I am puzzled as to why the Forks SC is going to be one of the first V3 locations.
It sounds as if retrofitting isn’t in the plans at this point. Just v3 for new locations, spaced between existing locations.What if Forks just happened to be the next place to get a non-urban supercharger in WA, and every non-urban supercharger built from now on is v3?
That and most of the people using Forks will be passing through, so they will want to have a faster charge to cut their travel time down. Chances are good that all existing non-urban superchargers will get retrofitted to v3 over the coming years anyway.

It might be a quality over quantity thing too. In some of these out of the way locations, it won't make sense or be feasible to have a dozen or more chargers. A place like Forks could get by with very few chargers, but it would be nice if they turned over quicker so in cases where they do all fill up, your trip isn't derailed waiting a long time for a spot.

We'll know more in 12 hours.
