Supercharger - Idaho Springs, CO

[PLUS EV]

Work ongoing today.. the last two cabinets have been installed and it looks like wire is being pulled to some of the stalls. Tesla employees on site too, maybe starting commissioning? I am going to go take photos after they end work for the day.

Let us know if you see a guy plugging into each stall and checking diagnostics. That is the sign that opening is imminent.

Those concrete tire stops look too tall.

Well that's fine as long as they don't catch on any stock low slung body parts.

You mean you don’t “park by feel/sound” ?!!!?! Ha

Yep... I just went by and it appears every stall has cabling pulled through its conduit, with 3 stalls looking like they have been fully connected.

I dropped by almost exactly two hours before you did, they were hard at work:

I found only one cable-set pulled thru conduit. It seems they pulled the other five in those two hours.

The stations clearly have liquid coolers built into the base.

Sweet. This is the one I want the most. The gap between DIA and Silverhorne is so annoying.

For me it's the distance to Brush. It's nice that Brighton will be getting one too. West Slope to Nebraska was a stretch for us on a Christmas visit to family in Omaha.

Here is an updated look from this afternoon

I came here to post the same photo I think they are close to being done.

Just in time... I used Silverthorne twice this weekend and was the last car in each time. Idaho Springs should help take some load off of that site.

Yeah, I was up there around the same time Sunday, pretty impressed with how finished it looked. I'd be surprised if everything wasn't done this week (except for maybe an inspection)

Dropped by there this morning on the way back from Abasin. Looking really good. Couple workers there and an Xcel Energy truck, they were taking the "tops" off the charging stations and seemed to be looking at something. Must be really close...

The signs say "30 Minute General Parking" ? So that means they could by ICEd legally correct? Meaning that it is just 30 minute general parking, not parking for charging Teslas only.

Yes, but only some of the spots have that sign. The others are reserved for Teslas Supercharging. Hopefully as this location becomes busier they will change it so that all spots are for Teslas only.

Correct, can be used by anyone although I see this place having lots and lots of Tesla's in those spots most of the time. Hopefully management gets a decent crash course on the parking rules so they can "enforce" them to whatever degree they feel like. I'm not familiar with this location but it looks like they're off to the side enough. I'm sure at least a few bro-trucks will try to be funny but hopefully won't last too long

FYI: Try to use the "shared" spots first whenever Supercharging. That helps keep the Tesla-only spots open for any other Teslas that arrive and need to charge.
