Supercharger - Great Barrington, MA

[mociaf9]

Tesla has started doing this occasionally over the last ~six months. They will add a supercharger that is in construction to their system before it's operational and then just list it as temp. closed in the nav until it's actually ready to use. I'm not sure why. To me, it seems like just one more way to make the information in their system seem unreliable.

Agreed.

Anyone local care to swing by and check out the site? Is there a utility meter? Is it energized, and if so, is it all zeros or...?

I was here maybe an hour ago. 4 of the 8 pedestals were lit. I was able to charge at one of them successfully at an expected rate (2016 Model S).

All 8 are lit up.

They’ve also lifted the Temporary Closure verbiage from the Nav.

Beautiful day in Great Barrington. The site was showing as down most of the morning but is back online now.

Sorry to hear

Heading out here in the morning, anyone had success since last week? Worried this site might be a little flaky at the moment.

A friend charged there late yesterday w/o issues - should be fine.

I charged there last Saturday oct 3, had no issues.

I steered clear of it yesterday based on Nav showing as closed. Will give it a shot on the way home today - thanks for the responses.

Still showing offline this morning - if you're in the area and swinging by anyway, would be curious to learn if the closure info is real (ie. if it's showing closed, is it really not operational). Doesn't really matter of course - but curious to get a data point on the validity of the nav status info. Bottom line is if a site is listed as closed, it's best to assume it's not working and plan around it.

It’s fully offline. No stalls operational. And wow was the Lee SC busy on Sat & Sun. Essentially full both times I was there.

Thanks for stopping by and confirming. Presumably this is just new V3 site growing pains and it will stabilize soon enough

It had been open when we passed it Friday the 9th in the afternoon on the way to the North Canaan SuC. I noticed it was marked offline on the map when we drove home on Sunday. We stopped by Lee and were only one of 2 cars there mid Sunday afternoon.
