Supercharger - Hartford, CT - Leibert Road

Showing on the map now, as zero stalls available though.

Showed up in my nav this evening. Haven't gone to the site to verify, but figured I would share.

Can this really be happening? Is this site finally coming online?

Progress! Well, sort of open, it seems max speeds might be 25 kW for now, maybe, I arrived with 76% charge after 10 min of preconditioning, using first stall near cabinets labeled 6B. All stalls lit up though, a good sign!

Woah... this feels like trick or treat

Great news! (But I'm sad I missed it on my road trip to the area ~2 weeks ago. Oh well!)

 

[tinkererguy]

Just an FYI, still showing as reduced service in the app.

Stopped by again last night, this time in 2020 Mode 3 SR+, speed still significantly slower than a fully provisioned 150 kW V2 Supercharger. Onscreen display doesn’t indicate reduced service, but app does.

Much better illumination in the entire lot, feels a lot friendlier now.

Today this site had some visitors, a meetup of sorts. Great conversations and connections made, safely outdoors, keeping my distance.

My wife’s Model 3 SR+ saw a very normal 114 kW, so it seems to be fully operational, at least when about 7 cars were charging at once. This is good, gorgeous weather today too!

Congratulations Pride Truck Stop and Tesla!

Finally - Another option if I don’t want a 5 guys burger at the Manchester SuC. CT is great.

Stopped by today. Charge rate was about what I expected (87 kW) for a 2017 Model S90 starting from 40% SOC.

The online display indicated "reduced service" but that might reflect the fact that the store and bathrooms are not open yet.

There were a few people working on the gas pumps and in the future store.

At least it is finally real.

This place is getting a bit busier. 3-4 Teslas charging when I stopped by today. Large convenience store with dining area open. Nice, clean bathrooms.

Lots of 18-wheelers filling up.

Good to hear! I do wish this had been V3 though.
