Supercharger - Helena, MT

[PLUS EV]

I tried the cable button press, but the port cover didn't open like it normally would for any Tesla charger so I opened it from the app, plugged in and waited for anything.

This is what happens when it doesn't have electricity or isn't activated yet.

Thanks for the update! I am in Helena once a week and I try it out religiously every week. As soon as it goes live I will be posting a video of me doing a cartwheel.

Really would like to see that cartwheel by June 16th. Great Falls would be even better but Helena would help.

Well thankfully for you, the 16th is still a little off because I am happy to report that for our GF location , we received the pedestals and have them installed, FINALLY YEA! So by mid June, we may have them up and running. Maybe if all goes to plan.

Oh that is wonderful! I'll be in Helena on Thursday and GF next Tuesday. I'll check both and report

Sadly the Helena chargers are still not live

Any activity in the last couple weeks? Still hope that it would be ready by 16th or by my return through on the 21st.

I'm sitting at the chargers right now, and they are still not lit up. I've heard reports of some chargers elsewhere in the nation being turned on this week, so maybe that's a sign that these ones will get power soon? One can hope!

This charger shows up as live here now: Find Us | Tesla

Per Tesla’s map, these Superchargers are now open!!

Great. I-15 is orange. 168.5 miles from Helena, MT to the north end at Sweet Grass, MT. Need Great Falls, MT or Shelby, MT to "complete" I-15, but really need Shelby, MT to make the connection better to Canada.

It’s live.

Curious what you mean by "orange."

Also, with the Canadian border closed, Sweet Grass is still a tough drive in a Tesla. Great Falls-Sweet Grass-Great Falls is about 240 miles.

Sorry, just in my own head. It's some color-coding I use for distances >150 miles and <= 200 miles.

Well, the first step of being to make a round trip is being able to reach the destination.

 

[Algonzalez03]

It’s alive and well

Fantastic! I'm going to Cascade next week and was hoping to use it! My original plan was to go there directly from Missoula, but that's a 155 mile stretch with no good pit stop in there (we are taking a 6 month old with us). Plus my wife hates twisty roads, so even though going through Helena is a little bit longer, it's more freeway and we don't have to charge as long in Missoula.

I wonder why Tesla took so long activate all these Montana sites after being built? Ultimately they got it done before the holiday weekend and my trip, so I'm now happy again!

Just tell CBSA you are going to Alaska.

Hey we should really let Super 1 in Helena know how much we appreciate them hosting the Superchargers! After all, they are looking to host the Kalispell location, and I think it would be helpful for them to see the benefits of having Tesla customers!
I'm planning to be there Friday July 3rd around noon (11-1). Let's fill up the stalls at that time!!!
