All of the chargers are covered with “coming soon” bags, as is the transformer.
Funny; I've charged there twice, and the N. Texas Tesla Owners Group had a grand opening pow wow there in December.

I distinctly remember the North Texas Tesla Group's meet-up had BBQ on the menu. Coincidence? I think not!I spoke to a Tesla employee at the Gallery in Fort Worth who told me that there was a transformer fire.
It wasn’t a transformer fire. It was a problem with the installation of a different component by their electrical sub. Gets fixed on their schedule, not Tesla’s. Not authorized to share further details.
YesInstallation of a different component than what was there when the stations were functional? Or installation of a component to replace one that failed?
NoInstallation of a different component than what was there when the stations were functional? Or installation of a component to replace one that failed? Yes, I saw where you can't share further details. Just hope the sub gets it fixed soon.
Apologies, I was being a smart aleck playing off Electroman’s response. I think it will come down to the sub’s schedule and home base as well as whether parts need to be sourced and replaced.Sorry about the question: I was in facilities management mode when I wrote it.
Note to self: It'll be fixed when it's fixed. Patience, young padwan...
No. I’d plan to stop in Southlake or Arlington.Any updates here? Going to be swinging through this weekend

8 transformers? Why is there more than one? Are you sure about your terminology?I drove by today; it definitely was a transformer fire. At the back of the lot there are eight transformers on a rack sitting next to the switchgear cabinet. The bottom left one is scorched, which could possibly have taken surrouding units with it. All of them are under a blue tarp cover, but there’s enough of a gap in the tarp one can see the toasted transformer.
Something serious had to go wrong for a transformer to let go like that. Either a factory fault in the transformer itself, or an external fault the switchgear couldn’t catch fast enough to protect the transformer, or a surge on the line (lightning?). Or a hat, broach or pterodactyl...
Yes, those are transformers. They're just not the big Utility Transformer that is usually the hold up for site activation. But those smaller white boxes that are usually installed next to or sometimes on top of the supercharger cabinets are autotransformers (buck/boost transformers).8 transformers?

Whitmore shows as being "temporarily unavailable" on my Tesla app and in-car navigation. This is the second time this station has shown as being down since it opened in December. I haven't gone by to verify; has anyone else been by there and was unable to charge?

Given the failure, they'll probably need to check all the equipment and lines not just replace the single obviously damaged AT.
